Watching the City of St. Augustine Destroy Our Environment and Not Regulate Landrapers and Adult Entertainment Is Like Watching the Three Stooges

What can you say about a city governnment that takes the contents of the old city dump and puts it into the Old City Reservoir and won't fire the City Manager who did it?

What can you say about a city government that upon learning the City Manager dumped the contents of the old city dump into the Old City Reservoir gives that city Manager an award instead of firing him?

What can you say about a city government that gives such an award in the midst of a pending criminal investigation?

What can you say about a city government that hired an attorney and a city manager withhout proper Sunshine notice or EEO searches?

What can you say about a city government that never gives the City Manager a performance appraisal in nine years?

What can you say about a city that wants to put adult entertainment businesses near the place where the first Roman Catholic Mass in North America was said?

What can you say about a city that won't even talk about putting any adult entertainment zone where it belongs -- behind the Police Headquarters?

What can you say about a city that violates the Sunshine law in hiring its attorney?

What can you say about a city government that spends money on a three-day trip to NYC for the supercilious City Manager, five City Commissioners, their spouses, boyfriends and girlfriends ($8100), says its conducting business, but never provides proper advance notice under the Sunshine law?

What can you say about a city government that spends $51 million a year for a small town of only 13,000 people, never asking key questions about reducing waste, fraud and abuse?

What can you say about a city government that refuses to talk about reform, refuses to talk about cable tv regulation and refuses to talk about the proposed St. Augustine National Historial Park, National Seashore and National Scenic Highway>

Please see below -- there's lot to say.

There are five St. Augustine City Commissioners. They must be replaced. We get to overthrow the government of St. Augustine every two years. Next year, let's elect a new Mayor and two new Commissioners.

This time, let's not elect Three Stooges.
