Last night's City Commission vote (below) may signal the end of the demolition derby with our history and culture.
It may also signal the decline and fall of the regime of WILLIAM B. HARRISS, who made coddling speculators his occupation and avocation.
It may also signal that concerned citizens really do matter now.
When Jerry Dixon called concerned citizens "hysterical preservationists," he showed that the ancien regime has lost its grip on reality.
"Hysterical," indeed.
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!
