St. Augustine City Commission voting on a consent decree during tonight's City Commission meeting -- State of Florida FDEP wants to fine them $30,000 but forgive them in the event there's a suitable in-kind project approved.
Massive sewage pollution by City of St. Augustine, no punishment: 611,294 gallons of untreated domestic wastewater was discharged May 30, 2009, but no one is going to jail (at least not based on inadequate prosecution by the tatterdemalion FDEP). Perhaps the U.S. Justice Department would like to prosecute, as they did the City of Venice, FLorida (five felony indictments for sewage pollution).
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!
