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!

REPUBLICAN POLITICAL BOSS WILLIAM B. HARRISS HAS A LOT OF EXPLAINING TO DO

Our County Commission Chairman is under indictment for bribery. Our Governor just suspended him from office.
Our City Manager, WILLIAM B. HARRISS, above, has never had a performance appraisal in 10.5 years. Irresponsible HARRISS is a tinpot Napoleon, guilty for misconduct involving mushrooming scandals involving illegal dumping of solid waste in our Old City Reservoir, illegal dumping of treated sewage effluent in our salt water marsh, letting the seawall fall apart without replacement or repair for years, Sunshine violations, Open Records violations, First Amendment violations and lack of police training, resulting in Marshall Burns being tackled into quadriplegia by police.
Our new City Commission must give WILLIAM B. HARRISS a public performance apprisal, just as our School Superintendent, Mosquito Control managers and other government managers get. NO person is above the law. Not even WILLIAM B. HARRISS.
