At yesterday's St. Augustine City Commission budget workshop, we learned that no funds have been budgeted for cleanup of the 30,000,000 pounds of contaminants St. Augustine City Manager WILLIAM B. HARRISS & CO. cumped into our Old City Reservoir from the old city dump. It's been estimated cleanup with cost over $1.2 million. City Manager HARRISS forbade public questions. Putative Mayor JOSEPH LEROY BOLES, JR> clicked his heels in agreement. No questions. After the meeting ended, I asked how much the cleanup would cost. HARRISS heyboy TIMOTHY BURCHFIELD refused to answer, despite COMMISSIONER ERROL JONES and MAYOR BOLES saying public questions would be answered. Chief Administrative Officer John Regan asserted that the cost would be only $700,000, while saying engineering studies were still ongoing. Why the delay? Not one word appears in the City budget. It's your money. Demand answers.
WILLIAM B. HARRISS needs to resign or be fired.
Likewise, is it time for Congress to show some backbone and hold House Judiciary Committee hearings on impeaching President George W. Bush and VP Richard Cheney?
Yes. Two Presidents have been impeached -- as conservative activist Bruce Fein says, it's what our Founders intended to hold Presidents accountable. It's our counry. Demand answers. Demand Congress do its job.
