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!

Why do the heathen rage?
The bullies who once ran St. Augustine are angry.
Angry that Lincolnville and West Augustine are now being treated as equals, with Riberia Street about to be fixed for some $9 million, with actual drainage, sidewalks, bulkheads and real paving.
Angry that there's going to be a memorial for Rev. Andrew Young (and angry that the City's paying for it, instead of requiring residents to hold bake sales, which is what WILLIAM B. HARRISS & Co.. did on the Civil Rights Footsoldiers Monument).
Angry that the Bayfront is planned to be more pedestrian-friendly.
Angry that the City took over the M&M Market through civil forfeiture litigation, and that the place will now be run for the benefit of the community.
Angry bullies who have never done anything for anyone -- let them bark at the moon!
