Hope those hokey St. Augustine Commissioners enjoyed the fete from the powerboaters who wanted to mar the view of the Castillo San Marco with their wares. They were pikers and now they've canceled.
At least St. Augustine residents got two fire hydrants on Avenida Menendez out of the deal -- the powerboaters insisted on it as part of their controversial deal. There were no fire hydrants on Avenida Menendez at the Bayfront until this month.
St. Augustine's tatterdemalion city government has a long history of projects that go belly up, leaving City Commissioners with egg on their face Add this one to the list.
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!
