March 31, 2025While Brooklyn Mourns The Death of Two Children, Politicians Take Photos with Speeding Brad Lander
Two children are dead and Andrew Gounardes thought this was the time to promote another lobbyist project.
On Saturday, Natasha Saada and her two daughters, Deborah and Diana were killed by a woman speeding on Ocean Parkway in Midwood. The woman had many tickets and a suspended license.
Senator Andrew Gounardes thought having a press conference with Brad Lander, a politician who was caught speeding repeatedly was appropriate.
How disrespectful can you get? Does Andrew Gounardes think people have forgotten?
Andrew Gounardes failed to speak out against his friends Brad Lander and Justin Brannan speeding. Both politicians were caught repeatedly by red light cameras.
Not one politician who was standing on the steps for the photo-opt spoke out when Justin Brannan was caught speeding 16 times through red light cameras. https://nypost.com/2021/07/16/speed-cameras-caught-councilman-justin-brannan-16-times/
This is a joke to politicians – that’s why Andrew Gounardes keeps using lobbyists solutions. He’s been in office for seven years and the streets of Bay Ridge are far worse.

March 31, 2025NYC Retirees – Justin Brannan Should Have Sponsored Intro 1096 By Now
Councilman Justin Brannan told us he supports unions. But Brannan doesn’t support retired union workers. Justin Brannan has not signed on to Intro 1096 to protect traditional Medicare for NYC retirees. See bill…
While NYC lost their fight – the healthcare issue keeps coming up because unions are making changes which can affect Retirees co-pays and deductibles. So 1096 is necessary to stop that.
Richie Barsamian is running for Bay Ridge’s NYC Council seat. He released a statement of support for Intro 1096.
Ritchie understands that Medicare Advantage is not the same as traditional Medicare and that thousands of NYC Retirees living in Brooklyn are entitled to the plan they have.

March 30, 2025Ari Kagan is Running Against Inna Vernikov for NYC Council – Why?
Ari Kagan announced that he is running for the 48th District Council seat. That seat is held by a Republican, Inna Vernikov.
Inna Vernikov was thinking of running for a state seat, but can serve four more years as a councilmember before she is term-limited. She wrote this:
Inna Vernikov has been one of the loudest voices against Antisemitism in Brooklyn for many years.
She’s the head of the minority party in NYC Council and there isn’t a Democrat who can beat her! She smashed Saperstein in the last election:
The Chairman of the Republican Party should recall Kagan because Brooklyn needs Vernikov’s loud voice.
Vernikov should not be using her resources to fight him as a Republican in the primary. If Kagan was running as an independent, it would be different (and he would be on the ballot in November anyway).
PS. I actually like Ari Kagan – he’s a good man. Dirty politics and a SuperPac killed his last election. But this election with Vernikov isn’t for him.

March 30, 2025The Bay Ridge Racetrack Opened for 2025
The good weather brought out the speed drivers in Brooklyn. There were accidents all over during the day and the Bay Ridge Racetrack opened at night.
I was sleeping and woke up to the sound of loud screeching from the racetrack riders. You might be thinking, “Hey close your windows and mind your business.” My windows were closed.
As we have said previously, Senator Andrew Gounardes’ Sleep bill is useless. The problem is that there are not enough police officers on our streets at night. If drivers saw one police car, the Bay Ridge racetrack won’t be open here.
The 68th Precinct needs something else to back it up because they can’t respond to calls and deal with the teens/20-somethings on the racetrack.
