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!

Government Pollution Without Permits is Illegal and Criminal
Oak Ridge pollution would have made our Founders sick at heart knowing our government was a massive toxic industrial polluter at its nuclear weapons plants, operated by the likes of Union Carbide. Would our Founders be sicker now, knowing the Nation's Oldest City, is a polluter too -- 20,000 cubic yards of contaminants in the Old City Reservoir, without permits? "When will [we] ever learn?" Government pollution is wrong. Pollution without permits is criminal.
