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!

With a name like "Rat Mouth" and petty pompous people running the place, what do you expect from Boca Raton, FLorida?
In Faragher v. City of Boca Raton, Florida the United States Supreme Court found that the City of Boca Raton, Florida violated sex discrimination laws with its co-ed lifeguard locker room, resulting in a culture of sexual harassment.
Boca Raton appealed from a de minimis federal court judgment through two appeals.
Boca Raton thereupon got what it deserved -- a famous federal court judgment with its name on it, like Bob Jones University and other discriminators before it.
Now the City of Boca Raton has retaliated against environmental whistleblowers for "committing truth" about low water pressure and resulting contamination. May the jury find the City of Boca Raton guilty, guilty, guilty (again).
What swinish gooberishness! Boca Raton is a pompous place whose itty bitty ninny city government is like many in Florida -- corrupt! It states on its website that a photo ID is required to enter City Hall -- how indescribably boring and pompous! I suppose that's to keep the poor people out.
How amazing that such a pampered luxurious sybaritic city's government should behave like a bunch of goons in suppressing free speech by city employees, firing two of them for raising concerns about low water pressure, which city managers treated as funny!
Florida's whistleblower law is not working. OUr federal whistleblower laws aren't working either, but at least there's a new U.S. Secretary of Labor who cares.
