MOONLIGHTING NOT DISCLOSED: Deputy St. Johns County Supervisor of Elections WAYNE EDWARD FUSCO

This is shocking -- undisclosed moonlighting by the dodgy career deputy in the Supervisor of Elections office, and when I asked questions, the subject of my inquiry (WAYNE EDWARD FUSCO) answered, instead of his nominal boss, the lax louche elected official in quo (Republican Supervisor of Elections VICKI OAKES).

Dear Ms. Oakes and Mr. Fusco:
1. Why did Deputy Supervisor Wayne Fusco respond for St. Johns County Election Supervisor Ms. Oakes about Mr. Fusco's moonlighting?  
2. That seems like another conflict of interest to me.  
3. Mr. Fusco's response (below) appears to be incomplete, false or misleading, as do his Form 1 financial disclosure filings under F.S. 112 (Florida Ethics law).
4. In fact, Mr. Fusco DOES charge for taking and providing photographs, and his WAYNE FUSCO PHOTOGRAPHY website so states:

5.  Thus, Mr. Fusco's financial disclosure form on the SoE website appears incomplete, false or misleading, Mr. Fusco.
6. Will Mr. Fusco kindly amend his Florida financial disclosure Form 1 on or before close of business on Monday, August 14 to disclose his source(s) of income from your (apparently unlicensed and unincorporated) WAYNE FUSCO PHOTOGRAPHY business, nunc pro tunc, for 2012-2016.  Please include any paid work for the St. Augustine Beach Civic Association, Republican Executive Committee, Historic City News, St. Augustine Record, Conch House, weddings and other events.
7. Please provide copies of any documents evidencing or documenting ANY discussions of St. Johns County Deputy SoE Wayne Fusco's outside photography employment with Election Supervisor Ms. Vicki Oakes, required by SJC SoE personnel policies, which Mr. Fusco have shared (below).
8. Please call me to discuss.
Thank you.
With kindest regards, I am,
Sincerely yours,

Mr Slavin,

As requested, I have included the portion of our Employee manual dealing with Conflicts of Interest and Outside Employment below my response.

Concerning your question about me working for Historic City News or the Republican Party of St Johns County, I take photos of many events and people in and around St. Augustine; those photos are freely available for anyone view and/or download from my website without cost.  (Emphasis added).

Thank you
Wayne Fusco

About

I like for a photo shoot to be engaging, creative, open minded, and it absolutely has to be fun. There can’t be any stress and collaborating between the model and the photographer is absolutely critical to the outcome of the session.
meI am a very easy going person so if you have an idea to try, that’s all the better. If I have anything to add as well during the shoot I will make a suggestion. I’m willing to try anything that will enhance a picture. If you would like to schedule a shoot with me, I shoot both on location and in my studio. You can’t beat my prices and I will help your portfolio and at the same time. If you want to take the plunge, please provide me with these specifics when you schedule your shoot. 



Just use the Schedule a Shoot link at the bottom of this page and provide me with the following information:
– Dates & times you would like to do your photo session
– What setting you are looking for IE: background, location/studio, etc,
– The type of shoot IE: glamor, fashion, swimwear, artistic, implied, etc.
– How many wardrobes do you want to do the shoot in.
I offer a complete range of high standard photographic imaging services for both external location and studio shoots. My facility includes a fully equipped photographic studio set up and up-to-date technical laboratory supplemented by a post-processing work station that allows us to produce brilliant photographs in all formats, color or black and white, as well as digital output and image manipulation in some cases while you wait. My photo sessions are very affordable starting at just $25.00.
Thanks you for considering Wayne Fusco Photography.

Schedule a Shoot


Thank you for considering to use Wayne Fusco Photography for your photography needs.
WHAT’S REQUIRED BEFORE A SESSION: 
Proof of Age. I will need to see and make a copy of your State issued picture ID at our first shoot for my records, before we begin shooting. I do not shoot anyone under 18 years of age without written parent consent. 
Signed Release. You will be required to sign a release at the beginning of each shoot. No shoots will begin without a signed release. SORRY NO EXCEPTIONS. 
A Pre-Shoot Meeting. Prior to doing our initial or first shoot, we will meet at a mutually agreed place to get acquainted (These meetings are held in a safe, public place like Starbucks or Panera or similar casual restaurant which is convenient for you). At this meeting, I will provide you a copy of my release for you to review. You can keep this for your records. This initial meeting is so that I get to see if you look like the pictures in your portfolio and so that you can meet me face to face and make sure you are completely comfortable. If you are under the age of 18, your parent or legal guardian will be required to be in attendance. 
Escorts. Escorts are no problem as long as the person is unobtrusive. Experience has taught me that husbands, boyfriends and in some cases parents do not make good escorts. Even the most experienced models very often get self-conscious with them watching, but if they are your preference, that is absolutely okay with me.
Weddings. Wedding take special preparation and involve a lot of in-advance planning. We will work closely with you on things such as:
(Not all these may apply to every wedding)
  • Bride putting on make up
  • Bride & Groom in limo
  • Looking through the veil at the groom
  • Looking at the camera through a mirror
  • Full length bridal gown
  • Mother and father of the bride
  • Mother and father of the groom
  • Fist (sic) dance
Let us put a package together for you!
