Speculators and their lawyers (like George McClure, f/k/a "He Who Must be Obeyed") formerly got away with murdering our history and our environmental heritage.
They almost succeeded into turning our Nation's Oldest City into an ugly unreasonable facsimile of South Florida.
How? Among other means, by stirring up Commissioners' unresasonable fear of litigation, the notion (shared by former County Commissioners and Commissioner Jamses Bryant) that the public must be ignored because the speculators might sue. Boo hoo.
Our City Commissioners rightly rejected a project that would destroy the gateway to Anastasia Island along SR 312. (See below).
Cheers to our City for doing the right thing.
Cheers to the Court for reaffirming our City's right to regulate metastazing "growth."
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!
