Sen. Gounardes Property Tax Meeting – Awful!

 

Senator Gounardes posted a video of the October 10th property tax meeting. 

 

I listened to the video as I cleaned the house on Saturday morning. I actually stopped it several times and re-listened.  It was pretty awful meeting and a waste of everyone’s time. 

 

The most important thing said was at 1:15 – The pols announced:  “We are waiting on the Mayor of the City of NY to propose property taxes.”

 

 

THEY ARE WAITING FOR THE MAYOR. 

THEY ARE WAITING FOR THE MAYOR. 

THEY ARE WAITING FOR THE MAYOR. 

THEY ARE WAITING FOR THE MAYOR. 

 

Gounardes had the nerve to act like he cared and then threw that news at the audience. This is how the meeting was announced:

Andrew Gounardes

 

Why would Gounardes announce the meeting by telling people to come speak up, when he and his friend  ARE WAITING ON MAYOR  de Blasio?  #PlayingPolitics   

 

The only other thing noting was that the crowd started to get rowdy at the end. Gounardes ended the meeting like Dan Donovan. 

 

 

A better representative would have announced:

 

a) He was working with the Governor to freeze our property tax. (Not Happening)

 

b) He met with the mayor and they were dealing with our tax this month (Also not happening)   

 

c) Gounardes is an attorney, he  could have offered to sue the city – but he didn’t because then Mayor de Blasio and his friend, Brad Lander won’t get the low property taxes.  

 

This meeting was just  Andrew’s way of checking off the box that he did something.   That’s called #PlayingPolitics

Sadly, all Gounardes meeting confirmed was that MARTY GOLDEN WAS RIGHT – IT WAS MAYOR de BlASIO WHO DIDN’T DO HIS JOB ON THE PROPERTY TAX.    Honestly, I didn’t want to write that Golden was right, but I’m not going to lie when we all need the truth.

 

A few weeks ago, Deputy Mayor Vicki Been said that property taxes won’t be adjusted during Mayor de Blasio’s time. (See here)   The next day she was forced to recant that statement (the woman has to pay her bills).

 

Corey Johnson, the NYC Speaker knows that the Property Tax Commission he created 17 months ago with Mayor de Blasio is a flop and hasn’t done anything to correct it. Recently, a webpage was added to the NYC site about those on the Property Tax Commission….it’s an interesting group.  Whoever chose them had no intention of changing the property tax. See here

If I had known Andrew Gounardes thought  “waiting for the Mayor” was acceptable, I never would have voted for him.
