Letter: Decision unrelated to “right to vote”

Louise Bird
St Augustine, FL

Dear Editor and Historic City News readers:

This afternoon I wrote to my St Johns County District 5 representative; Rachael Bennett. I copied the entire Board, but my communication is addressed to her regarding the proposed sales tax increase.

Hello, I am Debra Maynard and I am a candidate to become your new sheriff in next year’s county-wide election.  I will be sharing articles during the months and weeks leading up to Election Day so that you can get to know me better and understand my campaign for accountability and transparency in local law enforcement.

Letter: Our Republican County Commissioners have a choice

Without question, of all the founding fathers of the United States, I have learned the most from the writings of Benjamin Franklin and his Farmer’s Almanac. How could a fiscal and social conservative like me not embrace the sobering wisdom of such a gifted writer, inventor and humorist?

It’s show-and-tell time for the 15-member steering committee; appointed a year and a half ago to complete the city’s visioning initiative — and Historic City News reporters are still asking, “Where’s the beef?”

Dear Editor:

Tuesday, May 26, 2015 was a good day!

Randy Stapleford, aide to Rep. Ron DeSantis, sent a Congressional Inquiry to folks at the Malcom Randall VA Medical Center, part of the North Florida South Georgia Veterans Health System, concerning the way I was treated during my recent visit to the Community Based Outpatient Clinic.

Why in the name of God would anyone who wants to know what’s going on with elected government officials in St Johns County read the St Augustine Record?

Dear Editor:

Calling a joint meeting on the same day the school district is having a special meeting is a complete FAILURE on who ever came up with this.
