Readers of my published column (below) in the St. Augustine Record his weekend noticed that several of the 30 listed items -- some 30 environmental justice, waste, fraud and abuse, Sunshine and Open Records, civil rights, environmental protection, consumer, and other public interest victories here since 2005 -- were never covered in our local St. Augustine Record newspaper at the time.
Do you know which ones?
Likewise, the Record did not properly cover yesterday's shocking giveaway by Mayor JOSEPH BOLES, et al. to lawyer DEAVID CORNEAL of the $7500 to $18,000 archeological excavation fee for 102 Bridge Street. See below.
In this morning's newspaper, there was only a blurb about the fee waiver.
It did not quote skeptical comments, including those of B.J. Kalaidi and Commissioners Nancy Sikes-Kline and Leeana Freeman.
However, this morning's Record carried a front page article about the utility discussion that followed during the unusual 8:15 AM Special Meeting outside the ordinary course of business (which took place only after Mayor BOLES rammed through the fee waiver and then abruptly left the meeting to appear in Court as a lawyer on a case in his private practice).
This archeological excavation fee waiver stinks.

One of the two reluctant Commissioners who reluctantly voted for it, namely Nancy Sikes-Kline or Leeana Freeman, could move for reconsideration on Monday night, May 12, 2014. Please do so!
