At the risk of sounding overly dramatic, the coming primary election on August 20 is crucially important to the healthy future of St Johns County. And now that all the primaries are closed, Historic City News readers who are registered Republicans will most likely select our elected officials.
When Historic City News reporters read about $400 Million that mysteriously appeared in this year’s proposed state budget, we couldn’t resist trying to sort through the clues about how it all happened. The mystery isn’t where the money would go. The mystery is who wanted it.

Dear Historic City News readers:
I am now in my 70’s and old enough to have been called “negro”, then “colored”, then “Afro”, then “black”, and now “African American”. But, when it comes to color, I am simply red, white, and blue. I am a proud American. I served as a soldier in the US Army and today I fight for civil rights for all Americans.
