Dear Historic City News editor:

At the end of last month, I was able to attend the 101st American Legion Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana.  It was an honor to be there and see all the Legionnaires.

Dear Historic City News editor;

There was a recent article about an Ormond Beach walker being personally violated when he takes his four-mile walk each day.  It sent me back to my Constitution Handbook to reassure myself that what was being claimed as a violation of his First Amendment rights was NOT.

It has been the experience at Historic City News that almost every time local government attempts to tell local business owners how to run their businesses; or worse, tries to regulate the operation of privately owned businesses, they end up sticking their oversized, taxpayer-financed boot into a king-sized bucket of s**t. 

Bill Jones, as president of the St Augustine Beach Civic Association Board of Directors, forwarded a copy of an open letter to Historic City News which he sent to the City Commission of St Augustine Beach yesterday.  The letter addresses the current budget deliberations and their thoughts on how the City should approach funding its operations in the coming fiscal year and beyond.

On July 4, 1776, 13 colonies claimed their independence from England, an event which eventually led to the formation of the United States of America. Each year on the Fourth of July, Americans celebrate Independence Day when America absolved itself from all allegiance to the British Crown.

It’s more important than ever for Florida to make it as easy as possible for insiders to report abuses to state and local agencies, without the fear of retribution according to Florida Politics writer and multiple award-winning investigative reporter, Noah Pransky.
