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!

DAVID BARTON CORNEAL's Historic District Hotel Delayed
Millionaire DAVID BARTON CORNEAL's proposal to turn the Dow Museum of Historic Homes into a fancy-bears was abruptly pulled from the Planning and Zoning Board Agenda March 2, 2015. There was no advance notice to the public. People came to the meeting expecting to testify and were turned away. City staff did not respond to my 11:11 AM phone call inquiring whether the proposal was being postponed. How disdainful. How disrespectful. DAVID BARTON CORNEAL and his non-lawyer representative, fired Planning and Building Director MARK KNIGHT, read historic preservation neighborhood lawyer Jane West's lengthy letter and punted. Smart move.
