Marty Golden Doesn’t Fight for Bay Ridge
You see the people in this picture….they are fighting for our community.
Why? Because Senator Golden doesn’t fight hard. Sure he is supporting the bill NOW, but he has been an opponent speed cameras for years. Golden recently said he will support the legislation – probably because he realizes that this issue will be enough for people to vote him out of office. But the reality is he is just pandering.
If Marty was fighting for you and I – we would see him rallying his friends in the Senate. This should be a done deal.
Remember those State Senators supported Golden’s bill which gave tax breaks to developers in Manhattan…..If Marty can rally for developers, then he can rally for safer streets in Bay Ridge.
If Marty Golden did his job, the Police Commissioner would not need to come to Bay Ridge to discuss speed cameras. YES THE COMMISSIONER WAS HERE. In 2013, Golden said “speed cameras would take away police jobs.” Apparently James O’Neill thinks that speed cameras are effective and they work with the NYPD or he wouldn’t have spent his time coming to our community.
When we could be using technology to help keep children safer, we haven’t been because the senators have blocked this bill. In 2013, Golden complained the technology wasn’t proven.
The NYC Police Department Commissioner, James O’Neill was in our Bay Ridge joining Justin Brannan to support the speed camera bill that should have been taken care of YEARS AGO.
Andrew Gounardes and many people in this community believe Marty Golden needs to work harder on this. Gounardes tweeted about it and Golden wrote a whiny response.
I never thought of Golden as being whiny so that might be his staff writing this.
Andrew Gounardes is ready to fight for Bay Ridge.
