Thanks to Georgetown for welcoming protesters

September 24, 2021

The following letter was sent to Georgetown Town Manager Eugene Dvornick with a copy submitted to the Cape Gazete for publication.

A big thank you for giving us a permit to peacefully protest the Sussex County Council about rapid growth in Sussex County Sept. 21 at The Circle in Georgetown.

We registered over 130 persons and we had many more who attended but did not sign our register as they came and went during the morning protest. Cars that came through the circle honked their horns in support, some gave us thumbs-up and others shouted approval.  We consider this peaceful protest a great success.

Councilman Rieley came outside the chambers to address the press and acknowledge our presence.  I think Sussex County Council gets the message that “Enough is Enough” of unbridled growth.   

Again, thank you for permitting us to exercise our right to peaceful protest and providing all we needed.
