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!

Forgiving Poltroons: COURAGE
There are a few local aspiring fora in St. Augustine that appear to be other-directed in the sense that they attempt to chill, coerce, restrain or intimidate First Amendment protected activity, whether about environmental pollution, destruction of our oceans, police abuses, or otherwise.
One of them was contacted by Sheriff DAVID BERNARD SHOAR's sister-in-law to discourage "negative" items, censoring advance publicity about the Michelle O'Connell rally last Saturday.
How gauche and louche.
We forgive you.
Courage.
