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!

Saving St. Augustine Beach
Mayor Andrew Samuels and Vice Mayor Richard O'Brien were unanimously reappointed last night to their positions. Congratulations to the pair. Now: "Earn this" (in the words of the denouement of "Saving Private Ryan,' spoken to Matt Damon's character by Tom Hanks' character). You have no African-American city employees and a reputation as a racist city with long-segregated beaches. What are you going to do? EEOC is watching you. So are We, The People.
