Letter: What’s in a mayor?

Edward A. Slavin, Jr.
St. Augustine

Dear Editor:

These are no ordinary times, no ordinary elections. I encourage all voters to meet and research the candidates. This is our town, our time, and your future. It is up to us to help preserve our village. Vote early and beat the crowds. Early voting begins tomorrow, Friday August 15th. It’s an easy thing to do. There are six locations in the county, all open from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. through August 23rd. Locations are the Supervisor of Elections Office off Lewis Speedway, the Julington Creek Annex, The Ponte Vedra branch library, the Southeast branch library, St. Augustine Beach City Hall, and the Hastings Town Hall.

In 1984, using a politically expedient move that was perfectly legal and decided by the members of the St Augustine City Commission in a majority vote during a regularly called and noticed meeting; Ramelle Petroglou’s appointment as “mayor” was rescinded — and a new mayor was appointed to serve the remainder of her term. She of course retained her vote and the seat to which she was elected — that of city commissioner.
