Kudos to St. Johns County Commissioners for unanimously voting yesterday to oppose a stupid Department of Transportation proposal to build a four land highway right through the middle of 20,000 Twelve Mile Swamp.
Currently St. Johns River Water Management District land, the heavily forested area is home to wildlife, as well as the City of St. Augustine's artesian well field.
Twelve Mile Swamp is included in the proposed St. Augustine National Historical Park and National Seashore. www.staugustgreen.com
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!
