It has been very interesting to me all the comments on the PAC I have formed. I will answer the questions at this time.
I am no longer chairmen of the Republican Party of Clay County. I have been involved with the party both locally and at the State level for 25 years. I have retired form the Navy, I have retired form Teaching, I have retired form the Republican Party.
I had the privilage of serving on the CRC this past time. We worked long and hard , as the Charter reccomends. We came up with a form of gov't that will be the best for the county. The model we used was our Federal gov't ,our State Gov't which has servered us well for over 200years.
Why the protection of voters rights. The new ammendents if passed take your right away from voting for the two at large comm. which was approved by the voters last election cycle. We did not change the SMD , although the SMD was voted out in this county 20 or so years ago, because the voters had only one comm. which was responisible to them , and they didn't like like it. The SMD was voted in in St Johns county and voted out two years later for the same reason. There are those who are trying to take your right to vote for three comm. away from you.
It is pretty much the same language we used in the PAC to keep the Supt. of Schools an elected position. All you have to do is look at Duval County and see we did the right thing at that time.
It is my belief that all local officals should be elected and no one should take that right away.
As far as John Thrasher goes, he is not involved in this, what makes you say he is. He is a friiend
that is why I have not involved him , because there are so many stories that are untrue about him he doesn't need more. You may call him , write him or anything about this PAC if you wish , he has no connection to this.
