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!

14% African-American Hires in FY 2016
Three cheers for City Manager John Regan, P.E. -- 14% of the 47 new employees hired during the recently-ended 2016 fiscal year were African-American, roughly equal to the percentage of black people in St. Augustine, once run by the KKK and segregationists. Viva!
