Like dye in the stream, the name of "Patricia Greer" appears in the editorial below.
How revealing. On Friday, the St. Augustine Record was informed that Peter Guinta wrote a one-sided, uninformed article on mosquito control, even getting the name of the General Manager of the Mosquito Control District wrong, while failing to report that every single public speaker supported leaving mosquito control as an independent public health agency charged with important public environmental health responsibilities.
The Record did not correct its errors -- it compounded them -- with an editorial quoting Chairwoman Jeanne Moeller as having said something she didn't say, which was not in Guinta's story, while referring to the fictitious person of "Patricia Greer."
It's Priscilla Green. It's Chairwoman Moeller. And it's high time the Record appreciated their accomplishments, instead of being a bullet in the gun of County Commission Chair Tom Manuel, who was allegedly provocative and rude to AMCD off-camera, waving bye-bye to Green and saying (about the 60th Anniversary cake), "that's your last cake." St. Augustine Record reporter Peter Guinta and its editorial writers have only empowered a bully, instead of covering the news without fear or favor. Enough flummery, dupery and nincompoopery from the Wreckord..
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!
