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!

Does City of St. Augustine City Commission Resemble "Senate of Trusts" Cartoon?
Commissioner Crichlow has a lot of explaining to do.
Commissioner Crichlow is an architect for developers.
Commissioner Crichlow represents clients before City boards, with an intimidation factor affecting appointed Board members whose decisions are appealed to the Commission.
Commissioner Crichlow pushed in 2003 to pass an illegal resolution that on architectural styles.
Commissioner Crichlow pushed in 2009 to use the illegal resolution to allow an abortion of a modern building across from our historic Cathedral, Government House and the Plaza de la Constitucion. Commissioner Crichlow and his crummy client lost 4-0 (Commissioner Crichlow had recused himself, but mouthpiece George McClure kept smarmily invoking Commissioner Crichlow's name).
Now Commissioner Crichlow is fixin' to attend a "mediation" with the City on behalf of the developer, working side-by-side and hand-in-hand with George McClure. See below.
Some conclusions:
1. A person cannot serve two masters (Matthew).
2. Commissioner Crichlow must resign.
3. Commissioner Crichlow must be investigated by law enforcement.
4. This not-so-subtle corruption of our government is indefensible and must be ended at once.
5. Commissioners must represent the people, not the greedy and seedy.
