Last night, some 60 people came to the St. Augustine City Commission to support the City in forbidding the cutting down of a 200 year old tree located on Markland Place.
Our City Commissioners, including new Commissioner William Leary, gave the appeal (by Rogers Towers on behalf of the landowner) thoughtful consideration.
Commissioners upheld the Planning and Zoning Board by vote of 4-1.
What a wonderful town!
There are only some 13,000 residents here, but 60 of them cared enough to come to watch an appeal involving one tree.
This is a beautiful place and with your help, we’re going to make it better.
See below for my testimony to the State Legislative Delegation last Friday on the proposed St. Augustine National Historical Park and Seashore, which I first proposed on November 13, 2006.
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!
