Builders Council political campaigns wrought Karen Stern, Bruce Maguire and James Bryant, St. Johns County Commissioners who let ticky-tacky homes be built where landraping, tree-killing, wetland-destroying speculators had their way with our beautiful county.
They can't stand government regulation that would protect the public.
Edward Paucek's letter (below) is in sharp contrast to his sharp tactics in one case, where leaky blue tarps destroyed a home moved from the airport and Paucek et al. paid $20,000 in an out-of-court settlement. Notice how Paucek (below) addresses the current scandalous $25,000 limit on DBPR recovery from builders.
Edward Paucek and his Builders Council bear watching -- sousveillance, so to speak, as the NY Times Magazine put it in December 2006 -- people must watch their governments and those like Paucek and the Builders Council who presume to dictate public policy.
See below.
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!
