One Year Ago Tonight

One year ago tonight, St. Augustine City Commission passed 5-0 a Fair Housing ordinance recognizing rights of GLBT people to be free from discrimiantion.
We beat the Ku Klux Klan.
Racist ex-Mayor Shelley would not recognize St. Augustine. Neither would J.B. Stoner.
A siilar ordinance was enacted by St. Augustine Beach earlier his yar, also voting to add an employment non-discrimination oreinance.
Sheriff David Shoar also bans discrimination based on sexual orientation.
First to do so in St. Johns County was our Anastasia Mosquito Control Commissino of St. Johns County.
Speaking of St. Johns County, do you get the impression that our County Administrator and County Commission are shy about proteting human rights, while aggressive in tolerating bigotry? When are they going to ask Sheriff DAVID SHOAR about the FOr Street incident, and the $275,000 in secret settlements reported by the New York Times?
