OWN the Hutson/Renner bogus feel good photo op on Saturday 1/6/18 in Hastings 9 AM til noon

As reported in the St Augustine Record on 1/2,  this Saturday, January 6, at the W.E. Harris Community Center 400 Harris Street in Hastings, Senator Travis Hutson and Representative Paul Renner will be hosting a free food distribution in partnership with Farm Share, a non profit working to alleviate hunger. Are you kidding us? This is the agricultural oasis of St Johns County. This event runs from 9AM til noon.

We have a lot of questions for our elected state representatives while they try to grab this feel good photo op as they begin the 2018 election campaigning:

How about a state minimum wage so your constituents don't have to line up for free food? (that they probably harvested in the first place).

How about a real grocery store nearby once the residents make enough to actually go there?

How about cracking down on mistreatment of migrant workers?

How about decent, safe and affordable housing for the residents of Hastings, Flagler Estates and Armstrong?

How about fixing the infrastructure in Hastings, including dredging Deep Creek?

How about resources for the public schools in the SW part of the county instead of diverting our tax dollars to for profit charter and religious "schools"? And don't even think of shutting down the teachers' union.

How about pushing for expanded Medicaid?

We're sure you can think of many more questions to put on your signs when you show up outside the Harris Center to greet our representatives. Be there at 9 AM. Bring your sign. See you in the street!
