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!

Harrumph! HARRISS' HEYBOY FINALLY SPEAKS ABOUT MARIA SANCHEZ LAKE WHITE BLOCK ENCIRCLEMENT (SWIMMING POOL UGLIFICATION PROJECT)
You've got to hand it to WILLIAM B. HARRISS' heyboy, JOHN REGAN, the itty-bitty petty City's designated javelin catcher and all-around ingratiating Eddie Haskell (from TV's "Leave it to Beaver").
When I asked him about the Maria Sanchez Lake Project, he didn't answer specific questions. He claimed the project was in response to the "community.' That would be rich dull white guys, like the WHETSTONES and CRICHLOWS. Now, when asked by the Record, REGAN pretends to be nature boy.
Look at the project. It's ugly. It's in the wrong color. We haven't had our questions answered.
And of course, there was whining about my having reported the Maria Sanchez Lake problem to the National Response Center emitted at Monday's City Commission meeting by none other than the estimable City Attorney RONALD BROWN, ex-partner of tatterdemalion GEOFFREY DOBSON (who almost stuck county taxpayers with a $2million no-bid luxury jet helicopter for mosquito control, one he claimed was "sole source," which was unadorned by a single feature to kill a single skeeter, including tanks).
I wear their scorn as a badge of honor. And seeing Maria Sanchez Lake almost daily, I wonder about the birds and other wildlife, and why the weird satraps in City Hall insist on destroying nature here, there, and everywhere -- do the hate the environment or are they just looking for capital-intensive projects to uglify the world with, revealing again their "libido for the ugly?"
