WILLIAM B. HARRISS, the racist excuse for a City Manager sent one of his minions to a public meeting last night, giving excuses for why the City staff wants to start first with the North (white) end of Riberia Street and delay (like pie in the sky in the sweet bye and bye) repairs of the South (African-American) end of Riberia Street until who knows when.
Claiming the City has some $3 million "in its pocket" for the North end is errant nonsense.
The City of St. Augustine squandered $25 million of CRA funds on its White Elephant Parking Garage, but won't spend anything in African-American neighborhoods like West Augustine and Lincolnville.
Our City of St. Augustine is violating the 14th Amendment.
Congress should reject any funding for the City of St. Augustine's 450th Anniversary until a non-racist City Manager is hired. Just as the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. urged here in 1964, no federal funds should be given the City until it stops its discriminatory practices.
The St. Augustine City Commission must fire the racist City Manager, WILLIAM B. HARRISS. Otherwise, the Ribeira Street project must be put on hold until the entire project can be done first, instead of just the portions bordering King Street.
All or none.
