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!

Living Wage Ordinance for St. Augustine
Eight times since December I have asked St. Augustine Commissioners about a Living Wage Ordinance for our City's employees, City contractor employees and City franchisee employees. No answers. No proposals. No progress. Insouciance. No eye contact. The City's employees, contractor employees, City franchisee employees and employees of properties leased from our City must be protected and not neglected. Like Orlando, Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties, it's time for St. Augustine to have a living wage ordinance, protecting workers from the oppression of declining real wages in the midst of a real estate boom and skyrocketing gasoline prices. See Living Wage urls at the right of this page. What do y'all reckon?
