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!

Fumigating City Hall in St. Augustine, Florida
(HCN)
The circus that is St. Augustine City Hall is being tented, temporalily. $400,000 termite fumigation is underway. Meanwhile, Justice Louis Brandeis said, "Sunlight is the best disinfectant," but City Hall burghers are too resistant to transparency, taking some ten years of minutes off the city website and too often stiffing Open Records requesters.
