Letter: Citizen Archaeology Permit program
Sarah E. Miller, M.A., RPA
St Augustine, FL
Dear Editor:
Florida is considering a “Citizen Archaeology Permit” program that would extensively impact archaeology sites on state lands.
When I think of St Augustine, I don’t think of a circus town, like Sarasota; but of late I am starting to think some of our city movers and shakers might be.
Letter: Is the Tea Party opposed to Democracy?
Terry Buckenmeyer
St Augustine, FL
Dear Editor,
I am mentioned in a March 5th posting on the Saint Augustine Tea Party website regarding a recent “Awake the State” demonstration in support of expanded early voting hours.
Every St Augustine city commission meeting begins with the mayor, commissioners, staff, and members of the audience affirming an oath — their pledge of loyalty to the flag of the republic of the United States of America.

St Augustine, FL
Dear Editor:
Wanted your readers to know that the folks who’ve benefited from food for the homeless and hungry have come up with the idea of “paying back” — they thought of it, planned the menu, solicited donations, pooled their own money, and pulled it off for 75 people.

Dear Editor:

With the resignation of Lt. Governor Jennifer Carroll this week, the Legislature is resolved to make sweeping changes to effectively ban Internet cafes in the State of Florida.

John E Adams
Fernandina Beach, FL
Dear Editor:
I am a fine art photographer and have been shooting images of the fiscally-challenged local shrimping community for the last 4 years; while doing so, I have noticed that the beautiful handmade wooden shrimping trawlers, which were such a big part of our history, have been disappearing at an alarming rate.

All of us have been driving somewhere minding our own business when another motorist cuts us off in traffic or drives slowly in the left hand lane impeding our travel.
