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!

Obscenity Is In the Eye of the Beholder
Justice Potter Steward said he didn't know how to define obscenity, but he knew it when he saw it. Obscenity is:
Dumping the entire contents of the old city dump into the Old City Reservoir.
Violating First Amendment rights of citizens.
Wasting vast sums on unaccountable City Manager WILLIAM B. HARRISS, never giving him a performance appraisal in nine (9) years.
Refusing to talk about a living wage.
Refusing to talk about the proposed St. Augustine National Historical Park, National Seashore and National Scenic Highway.
Allowing greedy real estate speculators (like ROBERT MICHAEL GRAUBARD and CHESTER STOKES) to destroy our history and beauty.
What a paradise our city will be when its government is faithful to the words of America's Founders (rather than a cross between Chicago and a banana republic).
