Ms. Carrie Johnson Honored

The "Voice of Lincolnville," my friend Ms. Carrie Johnson, was feted and honored by St. Augustine City Commission tonight. How cool is that? We love Carrie, who led us at St. Paul A.M.E. January 10, 2008 in singing "We shall overcome" after we exposed the nefarious plans of then City Manager WILLIAM BRUCE HARRISS to take 40,000 cubic yards of illegally dumped contaminated solid waste -- a landfill dumped in a lake (Old City Reservoir) and return it to Lincolnville, put dirt on top and call it a "park." I shared with Carrie and her son the Folio Weekly photo of her singing with Judith Seraphin and me at St. Paul A.M.E.The waste is now in a Class I landfill. Hubristic HARRISS now works for Sheriff DAVID BERNARD SHOAR (and both are appointees of Governor RICHARD LYNN SCOTT on our Florida Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission, HARRISS holding the only "citizen" appointment like a proverbial dog in a manger.
