Good riddance to bad rubbish -- our estimable United States Senator MEL MERTINEZ is leaving before he's run out of town on a rail.
This crook took illegal campaign contributions and arrived at settlements with the Federal Election Commission.
He will always be remembered as a great big bubba homophobe in the spirit of PAULA HAWKINS, ANITA BRYANT and the PURPLE PAMPHLET.
MARTINEZ blasted William McCollum (now our Attorney General) in the Republican Primary four years ago for backing "the Gay Agenda," with angry TV commercials that would make KARL ROVE blush.
Why?
McCollum supported a hate crimes bill.
To Senator Martinez, let us say in unison, "Go on, git! Leave now. Don't let the Senate Cloakroom doors hit you in the butt. You didn't quit to spend more time with your family, you quit before being further disgraced, indicted and defeated at the polls like Senator Ted Stevens."
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!
