449 Days of Coverups on City of St. Augustine Dumping Entire Contents of Illegal Old City Dump Into Our Old City Reservoir

449 days ago, we first started asking then-Mayor GEORGE GARDNER of the City of St. Augustine and other Commissioners about our City's illegal dumping of the entire contents of the old city dump into the Old City Reservoir.
Now, 449 days later, the coverup continues, with now final DEP order, no criminal prosecution, and no answers to dozens of questions asked in private and in public meetings since February 24, 2006.
On that date, Mayor GARDNER told us it was only "clean fill.":
Of course, as EPA expert John Marler established, "there are no bedsprings in clean fill..
Nor is there any reason to believe that the government of the City of St. Augustine is any better prepared to protect environment, safety, health and the public fisc today than it was 449 days ago.
We need and deserve thorough reforms, including City Charter Amendments, now being drafted for inclusion on a future ballot, possibly as soon as January 29, 2008 (Florida's Presidential Primary Election).
What do y'all reckon?
