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!

Richard Goldman Is Wrong. Again.
After tonight's City Commission twin unanimous votes against two 65 foot hotels in Our Nation's Oldest City, St. Johns County Visitor and Convention Bureau Executive Director Richard Goldman was overheard to say to hotel speculators that the vote was "foolish" and "folly." Richard Goldman insulted the values of City residents (and Commissioners for listening). Richard Goldman is wrong. Our Commissioners were right. Richard Goldman needs to apologize for having wasted so many opportunities to help promote historic and environmental tourism, wasting tens of millions of dollars of bed tax money, while promoting the fungible agenda of Anytown, U.S.A. Time to focus on what's needed to preserve and protect what we love: the St. Augustine National Historical Park and National Seashore. www.staugustgreen.com Now!
