Congratulations to Bob Samuels, outgoing St. Augustine Beach Civic Association, for winning a bouquet from Folio. (They send actual bouquetsm but the brickbats are merely metaphors.).
Now SABCA needs to open its books to its members, and stop excluding past and potential members (e.g., ex-Mayor Ed George and Commissioner Undine Pawlowski). SABCA is a 501(c)(3) and must comply with the law -- no Tammany Hall poli-tricks, please -- you must be non-partisan and transparent.
Glad to see Folio Weekly actually cover something in St. Johns County for a change. Ever since the untimely departure of Anne Schindler, Susan Cooper Eastman and Walter Coker, Folio has been a shadow of its former self, exchewing anything here, preferring articles about beer to uncovering government wrongdoing.
Welcome back, Folio: I hope you will cover the meeting of the Visitor and Convention burau at 1:30 PM on Monday, July 15, 2013 at the County Administration Building. See below.
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!
