There's been sewage pollution in the Matanzas and San Sebastian River for centuries.
Our City of St. Augustine produced sewage pollution that is so bad that fishermen and swimmers avoid the San Sebastian River.
Meanwhile, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and local rich guys want part of the Matanzas River (South of the SR 312 Bridge) designated as a protected river. That's great, but they write off the area North of the SR 312 Bridge because of the City's fetid sewage pollution.
City Manager WILLIAM B. HARRISS should be arrested and jailed for what he has done to the environment. Celebrate his retirement -- we won.
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!
