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!

Unethical Administrator's Tax Increase Rejected, 3-2: Another Day, Another Victory
Thrice on the evening of June 16, 2015, St. Johns County Commissioners voted 3-2 against an expensive $300,000 November 2015 special election to consider a 16.666% sales tax increase. I have never been prouder to live in St. Johns County since we moved here in 1999. We, the People have been heard and heeded, just as elsewhere in America. Viva!
