Justice Louis Brandeis said, "Electric light is the best policeman. Sunlight is the best disinfectant."
My Justice Brandeis Award for 2019 goes to Georgio Valentino, Melissa Ross and Jacksonville Florida Times-Union.
Congratulations to all who spoke out in our neighbor to the North who spoke out against the proposed sale of Jacksonville Electric Authority. Thanks especially to Georgio Valentino, Folio Weekly Editor, Jacksonville Florida Times-Union reporters and editors, and Melissa Ross, WJCT NPR "First Coast Connect" host, for skewering the scandal in print and on the radio.
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!
