2. Twelve-year St. Johns County government employee, 1997-2010, FIRED for computer misuse for personal auctioneer business. DOCUMENTED
3. Wrote his religion and political affiliation on job application. CANNOT BE ASKED ON EMPLOYMENT APPLICATIONS. DOCUMENTED
4. St. Johns County General Services Manager, Mr. David E. Halstead, wrote in April 24, 1997, “I strongly recommend against” hiring him due to “questionable or bad driving record,” including accidents and speeding tickets, fearing automobile collision “liability.” DOCUMENTED
5. Hired anyway by St. Johns County Board of County Commissioners. DOCUMENTED
6. Years of continual spotty work attendance and weak performance appraisals at St. Johns County. DOCUMENTED
7. Fired by St. Johns County Administrator for misusing computers for personal profit. DOCUMENTED
8. Sued St. Johns County and Administrator, then settled for only $1150 for himself and $1150 for his lawyer. DOCUMENTED
9. Attended two (2) Mosquito Control meetings, but left early. DOCUMENTED
10. At September 25, 2014 Mosquito Control budget hearing — without time limit — made only one obvious non-budget suggestion – Implement TV coverage. DOCUMENTED

The WRECKORD (St. Augustine Record) editorial was shrinkingly shallow, even for it. I’m voting for Commissioner Jeannie Moeller, who worked with Commissioner John Sundeman and stopped the $1.8 million no-bid luxury five seat Bell jet helicopter, and got us a full refund on our deposit. Viva!
