JOHN REGAN, DEPUTY CITY MANAGER, WITH ANOTHER CORRODED SEWAGE PIPE, WHICH WAS EMITTING SEMI-TREATED SEWAGE EFFLUENT INTO OUR SALTWATER MARSH FOR YEARS WITHOUT TELLING RESIDENTS
City Commissioners let WILLIAM B. HARRIS do anything he wants -- he owns them!

CITY MANAGER WILLIAM B. HARRISS does not give a fig about civil rights or environmental justice, and it shows in his hubris every day

Pitiful little warning sign our City is using during current sewage spills -- people were fishing in Maria Sanchez Lake and evidently didn't read the Commissioners' and Mr. HARRISS' puny 'ole sign

Our City of St. Augustine failed to give proper notice to residents of Lincolnville when it spilled 1875 gallons of raw sewage. The City attempted to downplay and coverup the MARIA SANCHEZ LAKE RAW SEWAGE SPILL into Maria Sanchez Lake commencing May 21, never notifying our local newspaper and only erecting one tiny English-only sign (above), which appeared on Tuesday and was gone by Wednesday.
Our state and federal regulators must prosecute the polluters! A federal Grand Jury must indict City Manager WILLIAM B. HARRISS and his henchmen for a pettern of environmental crimes, just as the CITY OF VENICE FLORIDA was indicted on five felony counts for its sewage pollution.
Our St. Augustine WRecKord newspaper was never told of the spill by the City. WHen it learned of the spill (shortly after we did), the news editor said "That's news to me."
The St. Augustine WReckord has gone since before 6:50 pm on May 26 without sharing the news of the MARIA SANCHEZ LAKE RAW SEWAGE SPILL with its readers.
Is this not news (the MARIA SANCHEZ LAKE RAW SEWAGE SPILL, not the news blackout)?
By not covering the MARIA SANCHEZ LAKE RAW SEWAGE SPILL, one can only suppose that MORRIS COMMUNCIATIONS, facing bankruptcy as a distinct it is more interested in currying favor with people who are large advertisers (governments).
By not covering the MARIA SANCHEZ LAKE RAW SEWAGE SPILL, the WRecKord shows once again it cares more for what the City Manager says than the health and welfare of our City's people (especially low-income and African-American residents of Lincolnville who were seen fishing on Memorial Day, after the spill and before the warning sign).
By not covering the MARIA SANCHEZ LAKE RAW SEWAGE SPILL, the WRecKord shows that with so few people reporting the news amid cutbacks, there's no one available to cover environmental crimes (but we'll be kept up to date as to any silly 'ole PR release the City wants in the paper).
Let 'em eat handouts!
When will the WRecKord tell the people the truth about the MARIA SANCHEZ LAKE RAW SEWAGE SPILL?
