FOLIO WEEKLY AWARDS "BRICKBAT" TO TATTERDEMALION ST. AUGUSTINE CITY MANAGER WILLIAM B. HARRISS



From August 21, 2007 FOLIO WEEKLY (Jacksonville, Florida):

"Brickbats to St. Augustine City Manager Bill Harriss for using scare tactics to dissuade City Commissioners from endorsing the Florida scrub-jay as Florida's new state bird. Harriss advised commissioners that approving the bird, which lives only in Florida scrub habitat, would create more protected zones for the threatened species. Harriss told the commission he didn't think it was 'a matter you should be getting into.' The commission wisely disagreed."

Morris Communications' St. Augustine Record did not cover the story. HARRIS previously blocked efforts to fly Rainbow Flags on the Bridge of Lions in honor of Gay Pride. His bad advice resulted in a June 7, 2005 federal court order finding St. Augustine violated our First Amendment. It's time for HARRISS to go. See below for more on HARRISS' Philistinism, from waste, fraud, abuse, misfeasance, malfeasance, nonfeasance to First Amendment violations. It's time for him to go.
