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!

The WRecKord Was Wrong to Print Government Handout on TDC, Discouraging Public Participation -- Self-Serving Snobbery, Yellow Journalism
The WRecKord was wrong to print a government handout, which in its print version used the word "unqualified" several times before the names of citizens who filed their applications to be on the TDC.
The handout came from either the TDC or the County Attorney.
The WRecKord did not bother checking with anyone listed -- it sought no comments.
The WReckord missed obvious qualifications on the applications.
The WReckord did not print a retraction/correction.
Remember Richard Jewell -- falsely accused of being the Olympic bomber, based on government leaks?
The WReckord may as well change its name to the "Unwelcome Wagon" -- discouraging public participation in our government, while printing meaningless drivel.
