The Shame of Our City

Henry Demarest Lloyd said that the Standard Oil cartel "did everything to the Pennsylvania legislature except refine it."

St. Augustine has a reform Mayor, Nancy Shaver, who acted admirably, fulfilling the functions of a chief judge in conducting a fair hearing August 24th on the proposed DOW PUD.

Sadly, her four colleagues either prejudged the case (ODD TODD NEVILLE, ROXANNE HORVATH and NANCY SIKES-KLINE) or badly bungled their analysis (LEANNA FREEMAN).

The Courts will correct their reversible errors, which are legion.

The voters will correct their betrayal of our small town values, and their dereliction of duty to the oaths that the swore to uphold. FREEMAN's and HORVATH's terms expire next year -- we doubt they will seek re-election. If they do, voters will surely reject them, just as they did their erstwhile Mayor, JOSEPH LESTER BOLES, JR.

Meanwhile, work tirelessly to report wrongdoing to the FBI and to this blog. Thank you for all that you do!
