FOLIO WEEKLY AWARDS BOUQUET TO ROBIN NADEAU FOR WINNING PASSAGE OF RESOLUTION AGAINST OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING OFF FLORIDA'S COASTS

Folio Weekly (May 11, 2010):

Bouquets for St. Augustine Beach resident Robin Nadeau for convincing City Commissioners to take a stand regarding offshore oil drilling in Florida’s waters. Nadeau presented Commissioners with a resolution at the May 3 meeting opposing any new approvals for offshore oil drilling in Florida’s waters and supporting development of alternative energy sources. The Commission adopted Nadeau’s resolution by a 4-1 vote (the City of St. Augustine rejected a similar measure).

ED'S NOTE: the City of St. Augustine just passed the identical measure last night, and I have asked Folio to award bouquets to Gina Burrell and Commissioner Leeana Freeman.


Now that the St. Augustine City Commission has passed the resolution, events have overtaken art. Thus, the art below is no longer relevant, although it refers to the cruel moment in time when four (4) City Commissioners, at the behest of soon-to-be-ex City Manager for Life WILLIAM B. HARRISS, somehow reckoned that offshore oil drilling didn't matter and wasn't "important" (that's the word that WRecKord Editor Peter Ellis used in rejecting any coverage of either the City of St. Augustine Beach or City of St. Augustine resolutions against offshore oil drilling off Florida's sea coasts). Maybe next time we'll show Peter Ellis as oleaginous.

What do you reckon, WRecKord?
