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!

Voters Rightly Reject Record Endorsements
The Record endorsed Mayor Boles. Voters rejected him, electing Nancy Shaver.
The Record endorsed Cory Mara. Voters elected Jeanne Moeller to Mosquito Control.
The Record endorsed Edward George. Voters re-elected Catherine Brandhorst.
Three bad endorsements in local races.
Three bad endorsements in local races. -- all rejected by voters as sick of the Record as they are of corruption.
The Record responded by having no photos of Ms. Moeller and Ms. Brandhorst and by using old or made-up quotes from Ms. Moeller (whom it never called on her cellular telephone) and by trying to hide the news of the St. Augustine Mayor]s race below the mosquito control story. (In 2008, it buried news of the election of Barack Obama inside the newspaper).
