Does being the City of St. Augustine mean never having to say you're sorry?
Our City has:
1. Arrested musicians and buskers,
2. Welcomed noisy motorcyclists, giving them free parking
3. Voted to raise parking meter fees for the rest of humanity
4. Wasted millions on a white elephant parking garage,
5. Destroyed historic buildings, including the Monson Motel where Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was arrested in June 1964
6. Destroyed indigenous Native American archaeological sites
7. Destroyed neighborhoods
8. Disposed of the entire contents of the old illegal city dump into the Old City Reservoir,
9. Disdained even discussing a living wage,
10. Refused to talk about trolley cars, a moratorium on growth and other reforms to save our city. See below.
What do you reckon?
In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!
