Thanks to the City of St. Augustine for putting its budget online. We've been asking them to do it for about four years. During that time, ex-Mayor GEORGE GARDNER and our current Vice Mayor (ERROL JONES) said it would be "too expensive" to put stuff online.
Evidently not.
Go to the City's website and look at the budget for yourself. Note in particular that the word "Lincolnville" never appears, even in City Manager WILLIAM B. HARRISS' self-laudatory long letter on the City's plans and goals.
Isn't that a slap in the face to the Nation's oldest African-American community founded by freed slaves?
Read HARRISS' narrative for an insight into his character -- he even refers to the Civil war as the "War Between the States" (standard lingo for Confederate secesh sympathizers). Wikipedia reports that name was pushed by "United Confederate Veterans" (UCV) and the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC)."
More later.
