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!

The Shame of Our City
Not one St. Augustine City Commissioner represents the people.
All of them represent speculators, peculators and developers like ROBERT MICHAEL GRAUBARD, see below.
One of them even dated GRAUBARD. He kisssed her on June 11, 2007 in the City COMMISSION Meet room, during a recess.
From allowing location of condos and a stripmaill by a 3000-4000 year old Indian village (Red House Bluff) to forving a $15,000 treekilling fine to failing to ask questions about Conch House Marina and Sebarsian Inner Harbor -- our City Commissioners have been unjust stewards, resembling 1890s U.S. Senators who represented not states, but trusts (monopolists).
As a result of the fraudulent scheme charges filed against ROBERT MICHAEL GRAUBARD by the Ponce family -- and federal bank and mail fraud convictions of one of his "investors" -- the truth on all these projects will emerge.
To those city officials and developers and mouthpieces who threatened, interrupted, intimidated, coerced and restrained citizens speaking out against zoning corruption: your chickens are coming home to roost.
To those who destroyed nature in the name of profit for themselves and their political machine: God is not mocked.
To those who courageously exposed the ROBERT MICHAEL GRAUBARDS of the world for a decade -- blessed are we to have listened to you speak your truth.
We;re going to clean up the city of St. Augustine (and surrounding communities).
The whole world is watching, and our 500th/450th anniversaries of our state and city and staet in 2013 and 2015 promise that we'll have public officials worthy of honor, rather than those who have made our city a laughingstock, complete with puting the contents of the old city dump into the Old City Reservoir. See below.
