The St. Augustine Record hasn't reported the details of the Civil Rights victory at the Willie Galimore Center Pool.
Thanks to our Mayor, City Commissioners and City Manager John Regan, the Willie Galimore Pool has reopened, and thanks to the Jacksonville Jaguars, pool admission will be free forever. Thank you!
In a stunning display of Environmental Racism, St. Johns County had neglected the Galimore Pool, but good lawyering to us $400,000 as remedy for the County's breach of contract (exacerbated by former City Manager WILLIAM B. HARRISS a/k/a "WILL HARASS" telling County Administrator Michael Wanchick it was okay (without asking Commissioners).
The pool, like nearly-complete Riberia Street, is proof that Civil Rights and Environmental Activism works. It's our town and our time, and we're creating a new city before our eyes -- one where tolerance, historic and environmental protection and diversity rule (and not the KKK). Thanks to all the activists who made this possible. See below.
Meanwhile, our County contracts with a secretive $4.6 million/year organization, the Visitors and Convemtion Bureau, that refuses to provide documents on its Antitrust and Civil Rights Compliance Policeis, if any. Dr. Peter Yesawich, Ph.D., told VCB members at World Golf Village May 14, 2013 they should raise prices. Never again should there be any discussion of pricing at VCB meetings. It is illegal. It is unseemly and it's our money. VCB must start advertising St. Augustine's 450th and Florida's 500th in Miami. VCM must reach out to African-American, Hispanic, GLBT and youth tourists. It's our future. VCB and its contractor, multinational tourism consulting and advertising agency MMGY, need to get with the program and drop the snobbery. Pray for them. The contract with VCB expires at 11:59 PM on September 30, 2013. Perhaps we can create our own 501(c)(6) for St. Augustine and St. Augustine Beach, and let Ponte Vedra go its separate way. What do you reckon?
We shall overcome!
