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!

CITY OF ST. AUGUSTINE ADMITS TO INTERCONNECTIONS BETWEEN SEWER AND STORM SEWER
and says that five were removed last year. City Chief Operating Officer JOHN REGAN told City Commissioners Monday night that last year four interconnections were located and ended, and a fifth in "North City."
Presumably the first four were in Lincolnville and West Augustine, areas where the City's centuries of environmental racism are coming home to roost.
Citizens no longer tolerate sewage in our rivers and blatant racism from our City Manager, WILLIAM B. HARRISS.
It's time for him to go.
