Conflict of Interest?

Former Commissioner DONALD CRICHLOW (RIGHT) AND WILLIAM BRUCE HARRISS (LEFT), former City Manager of the City of St. Augustine, Florida

On December 1, 2014, DONALD CRICHLOW left office as City Commissioner.

On January 1, 2015, DONALD CRICHLOW lobbied Mayor Nancy Shaver in support of DAVID BARTON CORNEAL's nefarious plan to put a hotel into HP-1, at the site of the DOW MUSEUM OF HISTORIC HOMES. Our State of Florida invested $2 million in restoring the DOW MUSEUM. CORNEAL has already destroyed one of the homes, as a result of a 2-1 vote by the Historic Architectural Review Board (HARB) April 14, 2014.

CORNEAL has purchased the services of two HARB members who recused themselves and intimidated the others. CORNEAL has also purchased the services of fired City Planning and Building Director MARK ALAN KNIGHT.

There are no city ordinances requiring former City Commissioners to refrain from lobbying for a grace period after their "service," such as it is. Congress and other legislative bodies have such restrictions.

There are no city ordinances requiring lobbying disclosure.

We believe in hope, but we're waiting for change. Stop corruption in the City of St. Augustine. Support ethics reform.

Now.
