is to reserve the Sebastian Inner Harbor development for any "adult businesses" -- far away from the rest of us, but right next door to the St. Augustine Police HQ.
I suggested this idea to Chief Loren Lueders at the July 9 Commission meeting by passed note, and a lady who suggested it to Commissioners got the best applause of the evening. Unfortunately, at last Thursday's workshop, citizens were forbidden to talk. That's a pity. Last year, there was a workshop on history matters, and citizens were allowed to talk -- one of the better sessions I've ever attended at the City.
Unfortunately, our Mayor JOSEPH LEROY BOLES, JR. doesn't appreciate public debate and would rather act like Pedro Menendez than a leader of a free people.
Conventioneers are more likely to enjoy such services than the people in our Nation's Oldest City. Put the "adult business" zone next to the Police Dept instead of all over our beautiful city.
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!
