Environmental racism in St. Augustine evidenced by boarded-up homes in Lincolnville, failure to get CDBGs

See below. Any rational City Manager would be getting Community Development Block Grants to help poor people fix up their homes. That's what Sandra Parks (then Commissioner) did two decades ago, in concert with Errol Jones, now Commissioner.

Our City Manager, WILLIAM B. HARRISS, is too busy kissing up to speculators to help the people who do most of the working, living and dying in our community.

Our St. Augustine City governemnt refuses to do its job. Our city leaders must lead, follow or get of the way. Their refusal to answer questions about illegal dumping is inculpatory.

Our Mayor, JOSEPH LEROY BOLES, Jr., has referred to Lincolnville as being "south of town" in the context of where the dumping took place for years. How revealing.
