St. Augustine, Florida -- What A Wonderful Town! (And We're Going to Get a National Historical Park and National Seashore)

Last night, some 60 people came to the St. Augustine City Commission to support the City in forbidding the cutting down of a 200 year old tree located on Markland Place.
Our City Commissioners, including new Commissioner William Leary, gave the appeal (by Rogers Towers on behalf of the landowner) thoughtful consideration.
Commissioners upheld the Planning and Zoning Board by vote of 4-1.
What a wonderful town!
There are only some 13,000 residents here, but 60 of them cared enough to come to watch an appeal involving one tree.
This is a beautiful place and with your help, we’re going to make it better.
See below for my testimony to the State Legislative Delegation last Friday on the proposed St. Augustine National Historical Park and Seashore, which I first proposed on November 13, 2006.
