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!
I find this open microphone at a candidates debate hard to believe but a welcome event.
ReplyDeleteCould it be that the incessant bitching from the fringes is paying off? Will the neighborhood associations take a cue and modify their contrived and over controlled political theater candidates forums where the participants are treated like little children that must speak only through self anointed elite surrogates?
Could it be that the present power structure sees the hand writing on the wall?
When will we encourage AND HELP the homeless to attend these meetings?
Direct democracy, is it right around the corner?
Pollyanna wanna cracker?
