First America Foundation Implodes – A Teachable Moment

Our City of St. Augustine has been ripped off to the tune of $100,000 by a foundation our City Attorney recommended be set up to avoid Sunshine and Open Records laws.

Never again.

Our City voted a poorly-worded, no-bid contract for $275,000, without defined deliverables, eschewing competitive bidding for the good-ole-boy system.

Never again.

Our City of St. Augustine for ten months privatized its history to a private, secretive, non-diverse group of amateurs who had never planned so much as a child's birthday party.

Never again.

James Madison was right.

City Attorney RONALD WAYNE BROWN was wrong. Enough secrecy.
