Monday night, two dozen speakers spoke out in favor of government accountability.
They were: Mses. Peggy Bliss, Sandy Lenny, Nancy Hubert, Helene Sullivan, Laurel Welch, Patricia Riley, Judith Seraphin, Pamela Farnsworth, Deltra Long, Susan Rathbone and B.J. Kalaidi, and Messrs. Richard Thompson, Hunter Miller, William Hamilton, Ronald Mickler, Michael Gold, John Versaggi, Roger Bansemer, Andrew Shirmacher, Jay Bliss, Thomas Day, Peter Englebrecht and Ed Slavin (that would be me).
ALL spoke in favor of government accountability. Not one speaker was against. (Postscript: as of St. Augustine Record now has an anonymous poll on its website, allowing multiple voting by the same IP address: how gauche and louche).
Not one person spoke against an audit. As Legal Counsel for Constitutional Rights of the Government Accountability Project (1989-1993), I am so proud of our fellow residents for supporting government accountability.
Questioning the city -- "It's what we do best," said Mr. Mickler.
"We need everyone here to listen," Ms. Kalaidi said.
"A lively session," Mayor Shaver said.
