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!

IN HAEC VERBA: SHERIFF SHOAR'S NO-BID CONTRACTOR-FUNDRAISER OPPOSED APPOINTMENT OF STATEWIDE GRAND JURY IN HATE SITE POSTING
MICHAEL GOLD AND SHERIFF DAVID SHOAR
Once upon a time in America, there was a mocking post on a local hate site, www.plazabum.com operated by controversial local hater MICHAEL GOLD f/k/a "MICHAEL TOBIN," who was/is the bagman/fundraiser for controversial SHERIFF DAVID SHOAR f/k/a "HOAR." See below.
That mocking post (foremost among many, complete with trite tropes) actually mocked Judith Seraphin for opposing corruption and supporting Governor Crist. Well, it turns out that this mocker, MICHAEL GOLD received more than $683,000 in no-bid contracts from our last two SHERIFFS (more than $606,000) and from our CITY OF ST. AUGUSTINE (more than $77,000). Could that be why he is so angry about efforts to report possible crimes, e.g., by ousted former City Manager WILLIAM B. HARRISS?
Mendacious mocker MICHAEL GOLD was soundly trounced by William Leary (former counsel for the U.S. Department of the Interior, Council on Environmental Quality and Florida State Legislature). GOLD received less than 1/3 of the vote in a campaign that was supported only by the WHETSTONE-MAGUIRE family (the only GOLD signs I ever saw were on WHETSTONE-MAGUIRE commercial properties).
So here is what MICHAEL GOLD wrote in opposition to investigating corruption:

This is why the court system is so slow and unnecessarily expensive to operate.
Our tax dollars are pissed (sic) away by people with too much time on their hands. If we started collecting a fee from them to process their complaints, they'd stop making them until something really happens.
Was their (sic) any doubt as to what would be the outcome of this frivolous (sic) complaint?
