Unmentioned in the St. Augustine Record's story on Fish Island (below)were public comments about the conflict of interest of City Attorney RONALD BROWN (former lawyer for PIERRE and PAUL THOMPSON, parties at interest in the case). BROWN is the former law partner of GEOFFREY DOBSON.
Also unmentioned by the Record was the favorable reception of PZB members to buying the plantation and burial place of Jesse Fish as part of the proposed St. Augustine National Historical Park, National Seashore and National Scenic Coastal Highway. Jerry Dixon called the idea "brilliant" and that's why PZB included purchase in its vote.
All the news that's fit to omit? The Record has carried columns on the proposal, yet when it's discussed by our PZB, it doesn't cover it.
Consistently inconsistent, the St. Augustine Record needs an infusion of cash and new ownership.
Who will buy the Record from Morris Communications and run it as a real newspaper?
I nominate the NY Times, which owns the Gainesville Sun.
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!
