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!

Let 'Em Eat Handouts: The Strange Case of Plagiarism of City's Press Release on WILLIAM B. HARRIS Retirement
MICHAEL GOLD f/k/a "MICHAEL TOBIN" (Historic City News, Plazabum.com, JR Uniforms, Underwriter's Bureau private investigations, Republican apparatchik) with SHERIFF DAVID SHOAR f/k/a "DAVID HOAR"
When "journalists" accept and print press releases from large organizations like our City of St. Augustine, they are not journalists, they are prostitutes.
MICHAEL GOLD f/k/a "MICHAEL TOBIN" runs Plazabum.com and Historic City Media. Compare the City's Press Release to GOLD's handiwork (below). Wikipedia defines Plagriarism: "Plagiarism, as defined in the 1995 Random House Compact Unabridged Dictionary, is the 'use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work.'" http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=25979735&postID=7957866596080196392.
Did Historic City Media, Plazabum.com, MICHAEL GOLD f/k/a "MICHAEL TOBIN" et al. intentionally plagiarize from the City's press release without attribution?
Compare the two stories. Word for word, huh?
Also compare the Peter Guinta story (below GOLD's) with the press release. While Guinta cadged a few quotes to add to the City's spin, they are all one-sided.
We spend one half million dollars on public relations in the CIty of St. Augustine to plant stories portraying HARRISS & Co. in a positive light.
ST. AUGUSTINE CITY MANAGER WILLIAM B. HARRISS (a/k/a "WILL HARASS")
