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!

City Deadline Extended on Illegal Dumping Response
The City of St. Augustine's time to respond to FDEP's expressed dissatisfaction with oru City's flummery and dupery has been extended until August 8, 2006. FDEP has rejected St. Augustine's claim that the illegal dumping was "de minimis," along with St. Augustine's sampling plan, failure to remove the contaminants and failure to address its water pollution. Another expensive stay by City of St. Augustine counsel Bill Pence at the Casa Monica is in order, with tapxyaers paying for it. Meanwhile, the FDEP's criminal investigation of St. Augustine's illegal dumping continues.
