Lookie here. (See below) How does the City of St. Augustine proposes to get credit for environmental crime fines -- involving illegal pollution with sewage effluent into a marsh, through a pipe with 1500 pages leaking (120 feet missing)?
With a project to keep grease out of the city's sewer system.
Does the city contend it did not plan to keep grease out of the city's sewer system?
How does this specifically benefit the area (Lincolnville) that has borne the brunt of the City's environmental racism?
What is the State of Florida doing to remedy the City's environmental racism>?
Don't other cities work to keep grease out of their sewer system without fanfare?
How many other American cities illegally deposit 40,000 cubic yards of solid waste in their Old City Reservoir, get caught and whine about it (as Mayor JOSEPH LEROY BOLES and Commissioner ERROL JONES do, most recently at the St. Paul's A.M.E. Church August 7th election forum, defending controversial City Manager WILLIAM B. HARRISS)?
How many other American cities would propose taking solid waste illegally disposed of in their Old City Reservoir back to the minority community where it was illegally dumped and excavated in the first place?
That's chutzpah. The City of St. Augustine is run by negligent, malfeasant clods who have no respect for human life. They're not careful. They're not kind. They don't care a fig about people. As the Mississippi Supreme Court said 90 years ago, it could "imagine no reason why, with ordinary care human toes could not be left out of chewing tobacco, and if toes are found in chewing tobacco, it seems to us that somebody has been very careless." Pillars v. R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co.., 78 So. 365 (Ms. 1918).
