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!

Some St. Augustine PZB Members May Need Spinal Implants, Training, Ethics Rules for Illegal Practice of Law
64.8% of St. Augustine Beach voters voted on November 4, 2014 to put the 35 foot height limit in their city charter. Yet on January 6, 2015, despite our 35 foot height limit in the older City of St. Augustine, PZB voted 6-1 to allow two 65 foot buildings, only to be rebuffed January 26, 2015 by 5-0 vote of St. Augustine City Commission. PZB badly needs training. And is fired former City Planning and Building Director MARK KNIGHT the only advocate available to represent developers, apparently practicing law without a license? What's going on here? I am mystified as to the other-directed, addled thinking of PZB. Enough. Thanks to PZB Chair Sue Agresta for voting against in PZB, and to City Commissioners for rejecting 65 foot tall buildings.
