My confession: I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees “Christmas trees”. I don’t feel threatened. I don’t feel discriminated against. That’s what they are, Christmas trees.
While a pair of antiquated Florida laws, sections 50.011 and 50.031, Florida Statutes, require certain notices in civil, probate, and criminal proceedings to be published in “newspapers of general circulation”, that requirement does not extend to every public notice under every situation.
As citizens of St Augustine, in exchange for those public services which we have requested, through our elected and appointed representatives; we agree to pay our share of the cost through the levy of taxes. Included in those costs are the cost of administration of our municipal government.
