The "World Famous Oasis" restaurant in St. Augustine Beach is withdrawing tonight its request for rezoning to allow it to inflict an illegal parking lot on its residential neighborhood. So says Rachel Bennett, former County Commissioner, who represented the owner in its unsuccessful bid for the zoning favor.
Three cheers for the Oasis.
No cheers for Gary Larson, St. Augustine Beach Building and Planning Director, who granted an illegal tree-killing permit for an illegal parking lot!
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!
