ACCURATE?! MALADROIT COMMISSIONER LEANNA FREEMAN SHOWS HER ANIMUS

Two-term City Commissioner LEANNA SOPHIA AMARU FREEMAN, Esq.

o Divorce lawyer

o Tedious termagant toady of ex-Mayors LEN WEEKS and JOE BOLES

o Grudge-holder
o Purveyor of false history ignoring environmental racism in St. Augustine
o Hopelessly provincial divisive defender of ancien regime and City Hall denizens


Our late Ambassador to the United Nations, Adlai Ewing Stevenson once said, "As scarce as truth is, the supply seems greater than the demand."

Almost ruining a healing moment in the 451 year history of St. Augustine, City Commissioner LEANNA FREEMAN (R-PROCTORVILLE) set up City Manager JOHN PATRICK REGAN, P.E. to be a bullet in her gun -- neither one of them mentioned by name any of the active citizens responsible for turning a former illegal garbage dump into a park.

 How gauche and louche.

Not mentioned were Mayor Nancy Shaver, Susan Agresta, Judith Serapin, Cash McVay, Blake Souder, Rosamond Parish, the late Patricia Riley, the late David Thundershield Queen, Dr. Dwight Hines, Ph.D., Jerry and Diane Mills, Anthony Seraphin, B.J. Kalaidi, or me.

Insulting Mayor Shaver, et al., FREEMAN was mistress of ceremonies, following Mayor Shaver's healing moment (above) with an inappropriate political attack, saying that REGAN would present an "accurate" history. FREEMAN's tone of voice was disrespectful. And REGAN lied. People walked out.

REGAN omitted the City's illegal dumping of solid waste and sewage, its dumping a landfill in a lake, its being reported to federal and state law officials, its being exposed by residents and by this blog, its being repeatedly fined by the State of Florida, its consent decree that called for hauling 40,000 cubic yards of waste back to Riberia Street in 2000 truckloads, seven of us stopping this environmental crime (Judith & Anthony Seraphin, David Thundershield Queen, Dr. Dwight Hines, Ph.D., Jerry and Diane Mills and me) by a petition to FDEP assigned to DOAH. See chronology below.

REGAN omitted his spending $60,000 on engineering studies in support of dodgy developer projects -- a coral growing enterprise, an aquarium and a children's museum -- exposed by the Keep Riberia Pointe (sic) Group and then private citizen Nancy Shaver, Susan Agresta, Judith Serapin, Cash McVay, Blake Souder and Rosamond Parish.

REGAN omitted the 4-1 vote to designate the land as a park forever (mendacious developer-directed mossback DONALD CRICHLOW dissenting).

REGAN was called "THE MINISTER OF PROPAGANDA" under City Manager WILLIAM BARRY HARRISS after a Jacksonville tv news "personality" described how the massive downtown St. Augustine Parking Garage would "solve" the "parking problem," doing a standup report in front of a Francis Field parking lot with very few cars on it. Although the evidence of her eyes showed the City's pretext for spending some $25 million was erroneous, she went with the pretext. City directors laughed, guffawed and congratulated REGAN for his PR spin. They called him the "MINISTER OF PROPAGANDA." The "MINISTER OF PROPAGANDA" did a bad job of it today, shown up by the truth known to all of us -- he was set up by angry, LEN WEEKS controlled Commissioner LEANNA FREEMAN, hopefully soon to be an ex-Commissioner.

FREEMAN is opposed for reelection by Susan Rathbone.
