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!

Victory for Consumers Against Cramdown Arbitration Agreements
Mandatory cramdown arbitration (by unconscionable "contracts of adhesion") is a cynical device invented by wicked evil corporations for hoodwinking, cheating and euchring consumers, as Judge James L. Guill and I documented in our 1989 American Bar Association Judges' Journal article, "A Rush to Unfairness -- the Downside to Alternative Dispute Resolution." Three cheers for this victory. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/05/business/dealbook/consumer-agency-moves-to-assert-bank-customers-right-to-sue.html?_r=0
