Dear County Commissioners:
1. At 6 PM tonight, I will ask the Anastasia Mosquito Control Commission of St. Johns County tonight to file a public nuisance lawsuit against St. Johns County, seeking a court order requiring the County to start removing obstructions that prevent water from moving in ditches and canals full of stagnant water.
2. SJC is unable to provide any legal citations, after Road and Bridge Department Supervisor JOSEPH STEPHENSON told Commissioners April 6th that some unspecified "environmental law" is at fault. No such law has been cited. STEPHENSON must be held accountable for his custom, usage, practice and procedure of not cleaning ditches and canals of stagnant water containing disease-breeding mosquitoes. STEPHESON's inaction is willful, violating public nuisance and civil rights laws.
3. As a landowner, SJC is breaching its duty to the people of SJC, putting them in harm's way.
4. If anyone has anything to say in defense of SJC's Road and Bridge Department's public nuisance creation -- its willful wanton recklessness on mosquito control -- I invite them to come to the AMCD meeting tonight at 6 PM.
5. You have the right to remain silent but we wish you wouldn't.
Sincerely,
Ed Slavin
Clean Up City of St. Augustine, Florida
