Dear Historic City News editor:
It broke my heart when I read that Vice Mayor Freeman, who made the deciding vote to take down the confederate soldier’s memorial, said that if one black person would have stood up for the soldiers Cenotaph, she would have cast a different vote.

Dear Historic City News editor:
We are going to be hearing a lot about the “independent voter” and the “undecided voter” in the coming months. They are related myths.
Editorial: Be careful what you ask for …

Dear Historic City News editor:
We recently helped a single mother who is also a service-connected disabled veteran in St. Johns County. Her home was in active foreclosure because she had fallen victim to the scheme of a fraudulent debt consolidation company.
It has been 16-years since we made an endorsement for this important constitutional officer and over that time our volunteer editorial board has paid attention to the current officeholder so we could be prepared when this day finally arrived.
Historic City News would like to express our gratitude to Mark Bailey for his willingness to stand up and say what so many of us are thinking. And, when Mark speaks, he puts his money where his mouth is and that is going to be hard for Tracy Upchurch, Nancy Kline, and Leanna Freeman to swallow.

Dear Historic City News:
I am heartsick to hear that the City of St. Augustine has voted to remove the Solder’s Cenotaph in the historic Plaza de la Constitucion and that the city manager has the names on the memorial boxed up in plywood. This is extreme desecration and disgraceful.
