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: "Doing What Jacksonville Couldn't"
"The St. Augustine City Commission has voted unanimously to pass an ordinance protecting against discrimination based on sexual orientation when it comes to renting or buying a home, according to the St. Augustine Record. In August, Jacksonville attempted to pass a similar ordinance, but it failed 10-9. St. Augustine already has an ordinance protecting against discrimination based on age, gender, race and national origin. The new change adds sexual orientation to the protected classes."
