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!

JFK Wanted to Be A Newspaper Publisher and for Good Reason
Upon leaving the White House, JFK had planned on becoming a newspaper publisher, partly because of their power and partly because he loved newspapers (and knew that 90% of the publishers are known Republicans who dance and drink in public with other known Republicans).
The Chicago Tribune owns the Orlando Sentinel, which gave Reprobate Representative JOHN MICA (the dimmest of bulbs) the weakest of endorsements.
See below. Apparently the Orlando Sentinel, in saying that Faye Armitage is "no match" for JOHN MICA, means she hasn't raised as much money and doesn't have MICA's fatcat friends.
By "expert," the Orlando Sentinel evidently means that MICA is one of the chattering classes who can be relied upon to assert knowledge when all they have is power.
Congress' queer notion of transportation security when JOHN MICA was a member and then Chair of the House Aviation Committee may have helped leave 3000 people dead on September 11, 2001. Airlines -- led by the likes of former Judge and CIA and FBI Director WILLIAM WEBSTER and the law firm of MILBANK, TWEED, HADLEY & McCLOY -- had argued for lax security (to save money). Once again, greed killed.
JOHN MICA is a national embarassment -- a loibbyist-loving, head-butting wastrel friend of JACK ABRAMAOFF, JIM NEY and their ilk.
JOHN MICA is a reactionary, anti-worker, anti-veteran, anti-education, race-baiting, Clinton-hating, homophobic former Chief of Staff to loonlike ex-Senator PAULA HAWKINS.
Naturally, one would expect a right-wing organization like the Chicago Tribute to support MICA through its Orlando Sentinel subsidiary. But the fact that the endorsement is so limp means that MICA has run out of string, from I-4 to I-75 to I-96, from Winter Park to Ponte Vedra.
