Clean Up City of St. Augustine, Florida

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!

Thank you, St. Johns County, For Your Support and Kindness; Congratulations to T.J. Mazzotta

I only spent, and only from my own funds, about a penny per vote county-wide to win 55,548 votes. (updated 11/13 to reflect latest count).

Inspired by the late U.S. Senator William Proxmire (D-Wisconsin), who spent very little on his political campaigns, I relied on name recognition, dogged work on this blog, 2006-2024, for the people of St. Johns County, as a frequent public commenter in government meetings, and years of personal contacts with our friends and neighbors in St. Johns County.

I was honored and proud to receive 55,548 votes (some 38%) for seat 1 on our Anastasia Mosquito Control District of St. Johns County November 5, 2024. I spent only $661.

Check my math: is that a little more than one cent per vote?

Jesus wept.

Fun fact: November 5, 2024 was the 25th anniversary of our moving to St. Augustine.

I still believe in a place called Hope.

And congratulations to Mr. T.J. Mazzotta, who was elected to AMCD, seat 1.
