Happy birthday to former St. Augustine Mayor George R. Gardner, who turns 80 today. An early reformer, taking on the corrupt political machine of then-Managre WILLIAM BARRY ARRISS, Mr. Gardner served as our Mayor from 2002-2006, remaining on the Commission until 2008. Salud! Viva!
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!

"Sadly, Mayor GARDNER demonstrated that it only took four years for a "reform" mayor to lose touch with his base and the reasons he was elected."
