‘Tis the season for Florida’s lobbyists and politicians

Historic City News scours the web at the close of each year to find some bit of editorial prose to entertain our core subscriber base, that being those politicos, lobbyists, elected and appointed officials of local government who seem hellbent on dancing between the raindrops to deliver us another session of Legislative pork while managing not to lose their jobs.

Ed Slavin
St Augustine, Florida

It’s morning in St Johns County, America. We are happy that on Tuesday, November 19, 2024, three reform Commissioners will become a 60% majority on our St Johns County Board of County Commissioners. Clay Murphy and Ann Taylor will join reformer Krista Keating Joseph. Three cheers! As President Theodore Roosevelt would say, we’re “delighted!”

This is the day Historic City News readers thought they would never see.  The day pigs fly.  The day Hell freezes over.  But, nonetheless, that day is upon us – not because it’s “about time”, but rather because “the time is right”.  In the open Anastasia Mosquito Control District 1 race, the Historic City News Editorial Review Board has chosen to recommend Ed Slavin for election to that seat.
