Dear Editor:

I am hoping that Historic City News readers will consider sending an email of support to the City of St Augustine. We have accomplished a great deal but face new challenges as we prepare for Velo Fest Festival 2015.

Dear Editor:

Letter: Lets save ECHO House

Ed Slavin
St Augustine, FL

Dear Editor:

I am providing a copy of an open letter to Reverend Ron Rawls, Pastor at St Paul AME Church in St Augustine, concerning recently announced plans to demolish ECHO House.

Relegated to the very last item on the published agenda for the Monday night meeting of the City of St Augustine, is a $59,500 request presented by Roxanne Horvath to pay the balance now due on her $74,500 “visioning project”. I suppose they figured everyone would be worn out, bored to tears, and lulled to sleep by the monotone drivel that passes for city business before this commission.

Dear Editor:

I was recently interviewed by Jessica Clark, a television reporter for First Coast News, regarding the “interconnectivity” debate in St Johns County. I appeared on the 6:00 p.m. program.

Letter: Stop the ugly rumors Senator Thrasher

Randy Covington
Former St Johns County Republican State Committeeman

Dear Editor:

It is no secret that Senator John Thrasher is seeking to become the President of Florida State University, and I think it would be a well-deserved reward for a long career in public service. He is also the most qualified person for the job.
