Last year, I contacted St. Johns County Tourist Development Commission Executive Director Tara Meeks about how to use bed tax money to reopen the Castillo de San Marcos.
No response.
TDC meets today at the St. Johns County Administration Building Auditorium a/k/a 'Taj Mahal." Next meeting is in March?
County administrators deserve to be questioned about why they don't care about the quality of the tourist experience and don't care about the low wages paid our tourism workers.
The spectacle of our National Park Service rangers being unpaid and our world class history being closed deserves attention.
Our NPS park rangers are the best tourism workers in town
We have their backs and our government officials must speak out in their support.
Now.
Never again.
As Dr. King said, "Our lives begin to end the moment we stop caring about the things that matter."
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!
