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!

Front page Record article on St. Johns County and Gay marriage: "Unlike neighbors, St. Johns County shows tolerance of Gay marriage"
Ms. Cheryl Strickland, our St. Johns County Clerk of Courts, deserves credit, along with her lawyer, Geoffrey Dobson. Three cheers! Viva! St. Augustine is an island of progressivism in a sea of Philistinism in NE Florida. Our elected officials and legal community are responding nicely to the will of We, The People on Gay rights issues and they have been since December 10, 2012, when St. Augustine City Commission adopted on its third unanimous vote an amendment to our Fair Housing ordinance adding sexual orientation as a protected class. St. Augustine is not Jacksonville or Orange Park: we take care of our own. Good article quoting Stratton Pollitzer of Equality Florida, Commissioner Nancy Sikes-Kline, former County Commission Chairman J. Kenneth Bryan and Court Clerk Cheryl Strickland. Thank you.
