Environmental Pollution in Paradise

Here in this beautiful City, 440 years old, dumping of 20,000 cubic yards of contaminants in the Old City Reservoir is called a "mistake." City Manager for Life WILLIAM B. HARRIS made the same mistake 20,000 times. Our City Commissioners are very tolerant of his "mistakes," recently awarding him a "heck-of-a-job" award in the midst of a FDEP criminal investigation. Our City was founded in 1565, the same year Ivan the Terrible founded the forerunner of the KGB. Secrecy abounds in our City government. Secretive government pollution of our environment here -- as in Oak Ridge, Tennessee and other nuclear weapons plant sites -- would have made Ivan proud, but it would have made our Founding Fathers angry and sick at heart. Enough secrecy. Enough pollution. Enouigh unaccountability.
