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!

Republican operative MARC REICHELDERFER, the apparatchik who drew illegal, unconsitutiional Congressional district maps for Florida Republican legislature:"Genius map-drawer" or tortfeasing civil rights violating Republican criminal?

In 2012, it happened in Florida, struck down by our Florida Supreme Court as a violation of the Fair Elections Amendment.
Shall we take the name of MARK REICHELDERFER and call it "REICHELDERFERING" as practiced in FLORI-DUH, the DUMBSHINE STATE? Read all about the Florida Supreme Court decision finding REICHFELDERFERING unconstitutional gerrymandering.
2012: Florida's Fifth Congressional District, wrought by the Florida Republican-dominated legislature and Rep. Corinne Brown (D-Jacksonville), designed to concentrate African-Americans, creating other majority-Republican districts in a majority-Democratic state!
