1. PLAZABUM.COM, where disreputable local public officials, their families, entourages and government contractors (pay-to-play or otherwise) trash-talk anyone who criticizes them, hiding behind anonymity, except for NANCY SIKES-KLINE (long BullG8R Lady on Talk of the Town and Plazabum.com), who has posted in her own name. The "Anonymice" are a disgrace to the human race with their threats at protected activity and their constant, lying, "anonymice" spin.
2. FIRST COAST NEWS, for its antitrust-violating, FCC-rubberstamped combination of the newsrooms of both ABC and NBC affiliates, decreasing competition in news.
3. MORRIS COMMUNICATIONS, for its too-frequent "spin" and coverups, culminating in the firing of cartoonist Ed Hall. For more, see the Daily Cartoonist website.
4. CULTURAL COUNCIL PHILIP A. MCDANIEL, for pressuring the Record to fire Ed Hall with his slashing, emotional attack on Ed Hall's November 30, 2008 political cartoon.
5. THOMAS GLAIZE MANUEL, County Commission Chairman, for portraying himself as a reformer, while allegedly taking $60,000 in cash bribes from lawyer GEORGE McCLURE and a developer.
6. ST. JOHNS COUNTY REPUBLICANS, for stealing signs in the dark of night while the State's Attorney (defeated Republican JOHN TANNER) offered a $500 reward for their arrest.
7. ST. AUGUSTINE CITY GOVERNMENT, for covering up environmental violations, resulting in two consent orders for illegal dumping (of solid waste in the Old City Reservoir and of sewage effluent into our saltwater marsh), with no criminal charges by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. Meanwhile, our Nation's Oddest (and Oldest) City is still refusing to post pertinent documents on its website -- not even Commission meeting agenda item background (which is already posted by our County and our Water Management District).
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!
