The Power Boaters Were Pikers -- Another City Project Goes Belly Up

Hope those hokey St. Augustine Commissioners enjoyed the fete from the powerboaters who wanted to mar the view of the Castillo San Marco with their wares. They were pikers and now they've canceled.

At least St. Augustine residents got two fire hydrants on Avenida Menendez out of the deal -- the powerboaters insisted on it as part of their controversial deal. There were no fire hydrants on Avenida Menendez at the Bayfront until this month.

St. Augustine's tatterdemalion city government has a long history of projects that go belly up, leaving City Commissioners with egg on their face Add this one to the list.
