\”As an officer of the OPRA act (Open Public Records Act), I have to follow the rules and cannot give out certain information without documentation,\” Municipal Clerk Paul Kain

The overcrowding of more than 49 persons as allowed by a Fire Marshall ruling, the April 23 meeting Gloucester City Council was moved to the Gloucester Heights Fire Hall on Nicholson Road.
Some in the crowd of more than 100 people were there to support local unions, and others were there to support Paul Kain, the former City Administrator/Clerk and current City Clerk.
They heard allegations brought against Kain, as Mayor William James presented charges of insubordination, failure to perform duties and deliberate delay or restriction of work effort against the long-time clerk.
Usually, employee matters are discussed in a private personnel session. But, Mr. Kain wanted an open discussion of the charges.
Attorney John C. Eastlack Jr. represented Mr. Kain and submitted a letter concerning the charges. Also, he allowed the clerk to answer some of the charges himself.
