Toxic Annexation of Golf Course, Refusal to Annex West Augustine

Toxic Annexation of Golf Course, Refusal to Annex West Augustine
Over citizens' objections, our City of St. Augustine annexed a former golf course for residential development, with citizens warning of eight decades of contamination. Now the developer is asking to treat most of the annexed property as brownfields. See article below.
Meanwhile, our mismanaged City refuses to annex West Augustine, an area without many amenities, such as paved streets and sewers, with our City having refused to apply for $4.5 million in grants, while charging 25% more for water and sewer service to West Augustine residents outside the city limits.
As Jeremy Dean's film, "Dare Not Walk Alone" eloquently shows, St. Augustine has Third World Living conditions, while our City's putative leaders are busily obliging developers.
