Stoyer, who grew up in Reading and has deep roots in the city, was still reeling from the shock that DID was done.

City Council voted 4-3 on Monday night not to reauthorize the improvement district for another five years.
DID, an organization that has been tasked to provide a clean, safe and green downtown since 1995, will cease to exist on Dec. 31 at 4 p.m.
DID board chairman Jim Cinelli was still in shock Tuesday afternoon. I m absolutely dumbfounded by the poor judgement displayed by four of the council members last evening, he said.
