In a letter to the editor published in The Record today, St Augustine City Commissioner Bill Leary profoundly states, “city government is unhealthily obsessed with the 450th commemorations”; a fact that Historic City News has reported, in detail, over the past three years.

Dear Friends and Supporters,

We did it!

It was certainly a close race, but you, the voters of St. Johns County, were victorious and I am proud to share this victory with each of you.

Letter: Thank you to everyone

Dear Historic City News readers:

Although I did not have an opponent in this year’s election, I wanted to take a moment to thank not only the St Johns County voters, but also the folks behind the scenes who help make the election process go smoothly.

McClure: Thanks for your vote of confidence

Dear St Johns County voters:

I would like to thank John Ruggeri and Ray Quinn for dedicating their time and effort to the people of this county. They are both great men whom I respect and admire.

In races for St Johns County commission seats, Historic City News backed, recommended and endorsed each of the three successful candidates for Board of County Commissioners, at least two of which bucked the incumbent or their intended successor.
