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!

FOLIO WEEKLY: NOTHING TO SEE HERE
"NOTHING TO SEE HERE
'NOTE: This chapter is in the process of being updated.'
-- From the criminal prosecution chapter of the 2003 state Department of Environmental Protection's Enforcement Manual. When St. Augustine environmental activist Ed Slavin asked where the update was, DEP's Christine Francescani wrote, 'Good question. The Department does not currently have anything more recent than what you quoted.' Maybe that explains why DEP never prosecutes polluters?"
