They Fix Cases, Don't They?

A Florida Dvision of Administrative Hearings Administrative Law Judge has closed the file on the first Petition for Review filed over the St. Augustine illegal dumping.
A new petition must be filed next week.
The ALJ never allowed discovery or a hearing, granting the joint motion of the City and State to close the case.
The fact that our City and State and the State's ALJ are so cozy over a matter of Environmental Racism is a stench in the nostrils of the Nation.
Like the famous paintings of dogs playing poker, the mutts who muck up our environment are worthy of derision.
They're also overpaid -- AKERMAN SENTERFITT lawyer WILLIAM PENCE ripped off St. Augustine taxpayers to the tune of several hundred thousand dollars making nowhere plans for nobody -- an awful plan to ship solid waste back to Lincolnville. In 2005, a pair of dogs playing poker paintings sold for $590,400. Another painting by the same artist shows dogs litigating.
Though the citizen-activists won by stopping the Lincolnville dumping plan, the ALJ never did his job, never even came to St. Augustine or took a single hour of testimony. What a waste of a judicial salary. Shame on him. Shame on our City and State.
They fix cases, don't they? Arf, arf, arf!
