Under new management, our City of St. Augustine is wisely seeking millions of dollars federal grants, including grants for our seawall and improving Avenida de Mendendez.
Under a prior City Manager, our City of St. Augustine did not seek federal grants because it meant scrutiny and accountability.
Bring on the grants and bring on the scrutiny -- it's our money.
Federal grants promise to help solve quite a number of problems, from lack of city water and sewer in West Augustine to flooding on the Bayfront.
At long last, it's wonderful to have a City Manager who cares -- after only thirteen months in office, John Regan has shown himself to be an excellent leader, someone who does his homework, has a photographic memory, takes pride in our City's history (including our Civil Rights history) and (most importantly) listens to the people. Thank you, Mr. Regan, for a job well done.
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!
