Connie Chastain Ward

The current demands to remove Confederate statues, names, flags, etc., are based on historical error at best and deliberate misconceptions at worst.
Letter: Record publisher promoting communist organizations
Lance Thate, Chairman
Saint Augustine Tea Party
Dear Historic City News editor:
Journalism is dead according to Sean Hannity, popular host on Fox News. His focus is on the broadcast and cable media outlets. However, the New York Times and the Washington Post are not excluded. The print media, newspapers in general, have also completely lost their objectivity.

Michael Gold, Editor in Chief
HISTORIC CITY NEWS
Editorially, Historic City News has taken the position, and, as a consultant to candidates and elected public officials, I have personally advised my clients to “mind their own business” when it comes to issues that do not fall under their jurisdictional authority.
Letter: Too many two and three-wheeled scooters
Brendan Freeman

Letter: Behavior by black church leader must stop

Letter: Restrictions on downtown Easter parking
John Mountcastle
St Augustine, FL
Dear Historic City News editor:
When the diamond-shaped “no parking” signs were placed on portable saw horses in the parking lanes of Cathedral Place and King Street on Easter Sunday, the number of available parking spaces were significantly diminished. City of St. Augustine Ordinance 24-38 relates to the towing and impounding of illegally-parked vehicles, NOT any prohibition or restriction on parking motor vehicles.
