Speaking of "Speculators," The Nation's Oldest City Has Mollycoddled Speculators Long Enough, While Gulling and Diddling St. Augustine, Florida

Speaking of speculators, our City Commissioners and officials must come clean about their understandings, agreements and relationships with speculators like ROBERT MICHAEL GRAUBARD, who have been busily destroying our nature and history, while being held to a looser standard of regulation than anywhere on Earth.

While they're at it, let the St. Augustine City Commissioners kindly apologize to our City for being rubberstamps, guilty f tolerating possible misfeasance, malfeasance and nonfeasance. We need an independent audit and Inspector General.

No more excuses for speculators.

Official intolerance of speaking out against "speculators" is so bad that when citizens have spoken to City Commission and at least one other boards, they were discouraged from using the word "speculator," in favor of the more approving "developer."

Don't presume to give us a script again. That's "landraping, history-destroying, nature-erasing, uglifying irresponsible speculators" to you.


We know who all too well who the speculators are and what they are, so don't presume to discourage us from speaking out again.

Citizens concerned about lawbreaking have been interrupted, threatened, halted and discouraged from speaking. Never again. Let everyone speak his/her truth.
