Clean Up City of St. Augustine, Florida

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!

Our City of St. Augustine must stop harassing City employees for First Amendment protected activity

Mayor JOSEPH LESTER BOLES, JR. and his minions must stop harassing City of St. Augustine, Florida employees in a vain effort to win an unprecedented fifth term by chilling, restraining and intimidating free speech rights.
As United States Supreme Curt Justice Sandra Day O’Connor wrote, “government employees are often in the best position to know what ails the agencies for which they work; public debate may gain much from their informed opinions.” Waters v. Churchill, 511 U.S. 661, 674 (1994).
Mayor BOLES, hands off our civil servants.
Enough!
