Corey Johnson Plays the Survey Game
Over the years, politicians have played the survey game hard in Bay Ridge. It goes like this:
Politician without a solution to a problem puts together a survey to make the public think he/she is concerned with how they think/feel on the issues.
Said politician disburses the survey to the public.
The public answers the survey because they hope their thoughts/feelings matter.
The politician totals the survey, let’s out a huge sigh and shares the results as if he/she feels the same way.
Bay Ridge has had it’s fair share of surveys.Usually it’s the Republicans playing the survey game to waste time. There was the one for the Verrazzano Bridge from Marty Golden and Nicole Malliotakis….then when those two thought you forgot about the survey, they brought it back for a second round.
The end game –> NOTHING GETS DONE, BUT THE POLITICIAN FOOLS YOU INTO THINKING SOMETHING IS HAPPENING AND THAT HE CARES.
We voted for Justin Brannan because he understands the issues in this neighborhood, but apparently Corey Johnson can’t hear Brannan so it’s time to waste time on a survey!
Today, Corey Johnson was at a train station in Bay Ridge giving out papers about the MTA survey. Corey said, “We’re going to get a great response.” See here. He didn’t say he was going to do a thing after that….he’s just hearing you. UGHHHH
Corey Johnson played politics in our backyard before. Although he doesn’t know the problems in the subways here, Johnsn made a terrible endorsement with some other machine politicians in South Brooklyn for a man and wouldn’t remove it when asked. The people voted for the right person – a very qualified woman.
