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!

Forced employment arbitration hides wrongdoing
Forced employment arbitration results in horribly sexist misogynist working environments never being remedied by federal courts. Our late St. Augustine federal Judge Howell Melton's landmark decision in Robinson v. Jacksonville Shipyards might never be issued today because arbitration agreements bar workers from suing employers. Check out this NYT column on the wolves of Wall Street and the demeaning environments that women workers are subjected to by the Who's Who of monopoly banking and securities firms. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/24/opinion/a-colleague-drank-my-breast-milk-and-other-wall-street-tales.html?_r=0
