MORRIS PUBLISHING KISSES UP TO WILLIAM B. HARRISS, EVEN AS HE IS RETIRING

Timid, tired, MORRIS PUBLISHING kisses up to St. Augustine City Manager WILLIAM B. HARRISS, even as he retires, sounding not unlike the local KKK-style hate website in its praise of HARRISS today. See below.

Hath the WRecKord no shame? No honor? No class? "Accomplishments?" Here is what HARRISS has accomplished:
1. Increased bonded indebtedness by tens of millions of dollars --- it’s our money
2. Wasted money on a $22 million White Elephant Parking Garage.
3. Wasted money on a $1.2 million utility bill-paying building.
4. Wasted money on a poorly designed skate park that did not meet City specifications.
5. Terrorized artists and entertainers on St. George Street.
6. Used SAPD as his personal fiefdom, bossing and bullying officers for political ends.
7. Discriminated against African-Americans, women, Gays, Lesbians.
8. Violated the First Amendment, as repeatedly found by Federal Courts.
9. Deposited 40,000 cubic yards of solid waste in our Old City Reservoir – City fined.
10. Failed to correct leaks that led to 611,000 gallons of raw sewage in San Sebastian River – City fined.
11. Failed for years to correct missing sewage pipe, resulting in depositing semi-treated sewage effluent in our saltwater marsh at south end of Lincolnville.
12. Discriminated against African-American and low-income neighborhoods, never providing equal City services.
13. Retaliated against persons engaged in First Amendment protected activity.
14. Made St. Augustine a laughingstock in Northeast Florida, earning regular Folio Weekly “brickbats” for flummery and dupery.
15. Led City employees, by example, to believe that the end justifies the means, even stating that City trucks were allowed to exceed the speed limit (non-emergency vehicles).
16. Never once appeared on Cable TV cameras coveraing City Commission meetings, except for the purpose of accepting a plaque in 2006 in the midst of a pending criminal investigation (an obstruction of justice intended to show City Commission support for HARRISS to discourage employees from cooperating with EPA and DEP criminal investigation).
17. Obstructed neighborhood efforts to erect speed hump, raising speed limit instead.
18. Obstructed Leanna Freeman’s efforts to pass resolution opposing offshore oil drilling, making a mockery of the Sunshine law in the process.
19. Obstructed efforts to propose a St. Augustine National Historical Park, Seashore and Scenic Coastal Parkway, which would increase environmental and historic tourism, raise property values and increase income.
20. Opposed efforts to enact a Living Wage for City employees, City contractor employees, City franchisee employees.
21. Elected timid City Commissioners whom he used as bullets in his gun.
22. Kicked one critic out of the City by redefining the City boundaries along one street with an outcome-predetermined survey and legal opinion (which he cited as one of his top five accomplishments for 2006).
