VOLUNTEER FED-UP WITH MAYOR AND COUNCIL-The City of Gloucester City is losing one of their unsung heroes because of the fishing ban at Freedom Pier enacted recently by Mayor James and City Council. Dan Reader who has volunteered his time and money over the years to fix up the Community Garden, City parks and playgrounds is calling it quits effective today.
Reader stated in an Email sent to CNBNews, \”I want to let you know that because of this situation (referring to the Freedom Pier fishing ban) I have decided after much deliberation to resign as a City volunteer as of Wednesday, August 15th. It was a very difficult decision on my part because everything is really starting to come together. I have invested 250 plus hours this year into a number of projects throughout the City. I feel that strongly about this and I could not go on tending to this City when at any time on five complaints I could again be banned from using a public space.
