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!

Tumbleweeds are not native to Florida, but reminiscent of City's busted, boastful Sebastian Inland Harbor Project
See below. When then-Mayor GEORGE GARDNER sought re-election as a City Commissioner in 2006, he said, to oversee "projects" like the SEBASTIAN INLAND HARBOR PROJECT, which developers euchred the CIty into supporting after they bought the land for a song.
Now Vice Mayor and Commissioner ERROL JONES says he wants the City to buy the land back (it's in foreclosure).
Now it's time for accountability for our City selling properties for a song, then letting developers make any changes they want in their plans, not asking for documents (not even a copy of a supposed document from RADISSON HOTELS).
