A man raised in St. Augustine was the architect of Barack Obama's Presidential victory. See below. While the Wreckord did reprint a Miami Herald article (below) about Mr. Schale, not one "attaboy" was printed on the Wreckord's editorial page.
While routinely prattling like a poncy schoolboy about this or that Republican, the St. Augustine Record's editorial page has never acknowledged that Barack Obama was elected President, or that a St. Augustinian was Obama's statewide campaign manager.
Steve Schale was formerly the legislative aide to former Rep. Doug Wiles (D-St. Augustine).
Wouldn't it be nice of the Wreckord published an editorial that acknowledged that Barack Obama is our next President, that Democrats are on the march in Florida in St. Johns County, and that a talented man who was raised here in St. Augustine helped carry Florida for Barack Obama?
Is that too much to ask of a newspaper that prints Ann Coulter's mendacity in the name of freedom of the press while firing a political cartoonist in the name of hierarchical, authoritarianism?
Let the healing begin.
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!
