It was an outrage then and it's an outrage now. Now that 41-year old publisher DEREK MAY is leaving the St. Augustine WRecKord, the paper needs to reinstate longtime political cartoonist Ed Hall, wrongfully fired last year after pressure brought on the Morris Communications by our local School Superintendent (JOSPEH JOYNER) and self-appointed arts maven (PHIL McDANIEL).
Injustice against one is injustice against everyone -- Hall's cartoon was of a generic bloated Florida school superintendent. Hall made people think. Advertising-minded DEREK MAY didn't get it.
Under new management, Ed Hall needs to return as a political cartoonist.
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!
