Politicians Ignore Problems While Taking Selfies in Brooklyn
Yesterday, NYC Council posted pictures of Melissa Mark Vivierto’s visit to Brooklyn and the Bensonhurst Bean reported about it here.
It’s apparent that Melissa Mark Vivierto is immune to her surroundings. How did she walk through this and think that it is okay? Clearly there is a problem here and standing there taking pictures isn’t going to solve it.
Bill deBlasio’s “A tale of two cities” saying couldn’t be more apparent than what is seen in these pictures.
The Asian senior citizens are so crammed in to what appears to be a store front shop. It’s obvious their population outgrew that location. No officials stepped in to help them get a larger place. It has to be a fire hazard to have that many people in a tiny room. More pictures here.
Here’s Melissa Mark Vivierto on the same day touring the pool on top of the spacious and huge. FIAO (Federation of Italian Americans). Nice huh?
Why does this problem exist?
Are these groups receiving the same amount of money? I would look it up myself, but there are so many hidden ways that groups are given funding – it’s not as transparent as they claim.
If these groups are receiving the same amount of money, maybe it’s not being managed correctly. I have seen this happen in another situation this Summer that both Mark Treyger and Melissa MarkVivierto failed to provide any documentation.
If you look at the comments to the Bensonhurst Bean story, one of the most telling signs that this neighborhood is having problems that go unchecked is that a resident wrote this comment:
