10. Stop building massive buildings -- your Edifice Complex is showing.
9. Stop hiring so many good 'ole boys and relatives as managers and cut their pay.
8. Start an Inspector General's office worthy of the name to fight waste, fraud, abuse, misfeasance, malfeasance, nonfeasance and incopetence.
7. Stop the waste on no-bid contracts for flubdubs.
6. Allow volunteer firemen again.
5. Cut the Sheriff's massive, bloated budget -- too many cars, uniforms and too much waste.
4. Review all existing contracts with an eye toward renegotiation or cancellation -- including the County Administrator's employment contract. Why won't he take a pay cut?
3. Appoint a citizen's advisory panel to hold televised public hearings on each department's budget -- let no question go unasked (or unanswered).
2. Bring in environmental and historical tourists by supporting a St. Augustine National Historical Park, National Seashore and National Scenic Coastal Parkway Act. www.staugustgreen.com
1. Give the county's beaches and other selected parks to the National Park Service for inclusion in the St. Augustine National Historical Park, National Seashore and National Scenic Coastal Parkway, saving county tax money. (The park can also accept five or more state parks and Water Management District land, protecting it forever for future generations). See www.staugustgreen.com
What do you reckon?
