St. Augustine Whistleblower Protection Ordinance

In the wake of Ceballos v. Garcetti, we need a City whistleblower ordinance to protect the right of City employees to protect us against waste, fraud, abuse, misfeasance, malfeasance, nonfeasance, pollution, civil rights violations and mismanagement. Our City has a $45 million annual budget. Our City government put 20,000 cubic yards of contaminants in the Old City Reservoir. In the midst of a pending criminal investigation, our City Commissioners voted 5-0 back in March to express their undying confidence in City Manager WILLIAM B. HARRISS. What message does that send to City employees who are interviewed by FDEP investigators? Lets see our City Commissioners vote up or down on a whistleblower protection ordinance.
