Judith Seraphin to Run for City Commission Again in 2010

Where are they now?



Publication Date: 12/29/08


* Who: Judith Seraphin, 66, of St. Augustine.

* In the news: Seraphin took center stage during a conflict with the city over illegally dumped landfill material. The city took dirt from an old landfill site on Riberia Street, near the Seraphins' home, and dumped it into a water-filled borrow pit on Holmes Boulevard. The state Department of Environmental Protection fined the city. Seraphin also ran unsuccessfully for a St. Augustine City Commission seat in the last election.

* Where is she now: Seraphin said she will continue to be a "watchdog" for City Hall and is scrutinizing some city projects that she is "not yet ready to talk about." She has also helped the Lincolnville Neighborhood Association, where she lives, and its Crime Watch combine to create even more oversight in her area. And she plans to run again for the City Commission in 2010.

"My main thing is caring about Lincolnville and about our city to make it better," she said. "I always try to see what's right (with the city), but I want to point out what's wrong to improve it."
