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!

Record wrong to endorse contributions to illegal First America Foundation, Inc.
The Record should not endorse contributions to an organization that does not have a 501(c)(3) and has been given City funds in violation of Sunshine law principles. Our City was in a hurry, with Don Wallis or someone stating to the Secretary of State's office, "Pls Rush." What's the rush? Why the rush to hand over $275,000 to an unaccountable, non-diverse private group from our City fisc, and put them in charge of our celebration?
