On Facebook, my friend Rick just asked, "Has there ever been a St. Johns County election that wasn't crooked?"
The answer may be the November 2, 2004 County Commission General Election --
Ben Rich, Sr. (R) (52,748) vs. Roger van Ghent (D) (25,642)
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!
