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!

words to live by
St. Augustine resident Wilton Rooks said it best. Quoted in the St. Augustine Record in 2001, Mr. Rooks said, "No area should be sacrificed on the altar of commecial expansion at the expense of the neighobrs who live there. Everybody likes St. Augustine like it is. That's why people live here."
