Until the issue of too-tall buildings is resolved, St. Augustine Beach Commissioners reached a consensus October 5th to move forward with a moratorium on building permits.
The issue of Miami-based Key International's proposed $30 million Embassy Suites Hotel is being hotly debated, and one citizen asked if the City's building official or someone had taken a payoff (I did not get her name).
Expect democracy: citizens are being heard and heeded.
In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!
