As suggested by the St. Augustine Record editorial (above), Governor Crist avoided an opportunity to sign a bill -- and sing the WILLIAM B. HARRISS political machine and the mismanaged, misbegotten government of the City of St. Augustine's praises -- transferring historic properties to the University of Florida.
Maybe the Governor had other commitments.
Maybe he thinks the City of St. Augustine is run by unrepentant schnooks or crooks who need to be investigated rather than rewarded with Governor signing ceremonies.
Maybe Governor Crist avoids wasting gasoline and aviation fuel (unlike our City Commissioners, who have dozens of City-owned vehicles on the road, one person each, wasting fuel purchased through telephone quotes, while jetting to NYC, Spain, Germany and the Czech Republic together.
Maybe Governor Crist wants to see our City comply with transparency requirements on Sunshine and Open Records before coming here.
Maybe Governor Crist considers the current St. Augustine City government leaders an embarassment to the state government, particularly after our City government's numerous anti-environmental, anti-civil rights and anti-Gay actions (see below).
Who among us could blame Florida's Governor for being reluctant to sign legislation in and sing praises of a place that won't even discuss the proposed St. Augustine National Historical Park, National Seashore and National Scenic Highway (see below), while letting developers ruin our Nation's Oldest (European-founded) City with ugliness.
What do you reckon?
