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!

Never on Sunday? (SJC Library hours) Why?
I have asked St. JOHNS COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR MICHAEL DAVID WANCHICK and COUNTY ATTORNEY PATRICK FRANCIS McCORMACK why NONE of St. Johns County's six (6) libraries is ever open on any Sunday. The one on Anastasia Island is closed both Sunday and Monday. In other locales, libraries are open seven (7) days a week, including rural towns in Virginia. Waiting for answers from our estimable officialdom. Is there a policy reason? Could this be legal? What does this say about Commissioners' values (and ours)?
Funding cuts. Libraries and museums see the cuts first.
ReplyDeleteInadequate staff to oversee the homeless population inside the library.
Lack of commitment to a better life for SJC residents.
No appreciation that not all families can buy books or rent movies as activities for their children and family time.
Ignorance of what is important to the quality of life.
Shall I continue?
Find funding for our libraries!
