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!

SJC stiffs citizens on records requests re: PAVO LLC ("PAVO" means turkey in Spanish)
UPDATE: Requested records from County on May 16, 2024. None received yet. Meanwhile, St. Johns County Commissioners voted unanimously to table this turkey on May 21, 2024. Unanimous. Speakers were Heather Harley Davidson, Ed Slavin, Michael McDonald, Charlie Hunt, Clay Murphy, Motion to table by Isaac Henry Dean, seconded by Krista Keating Joseph. Let's see if speculators show up and answer questions on this turkey. Gobble, gobble. It's our money. Stop wasting our money on turkeys, GQP turkeys: no more flummery, Trumpery, dupery and nincompoopery, please.
When will they ever learn? Fun fact: the mystery LLC its called "PAVO," Spanish for turkey. Go figure.
Lovely group of wild turkeys near County Growth Management Building. Pure poetry in motion.
