Our City has lost millions of dollars in grant opportunities in the past due to City Manager WILLIAM B. HARRISS' nepotism, cronyism and fear of outside audits and accountability. One million dollar grant to fix the Lightner Museum roof was missed when his nephew missed a deadline. A fire department grant was missed because HARRISS just didn't want to apply.
Now let's demand that the grant-giving agencies audit the City to assure compliance with state and federal accounting and accountability standards.
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!
