Why is the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce Partnering with Companies Which Don’t Help Brooklyn?
AND WHY IS THE BROOKLYN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MAKING AN ENDORSEMENT TOWARDS CHARTER SCHOOLS?
Someone needs to look into the politics of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce. Employees of the Chamber were recently in Albany. I’ve seen them in Albany before.
This time, the public was told that the chamber was there to showcase Brooklyn Companies.
On page 8 of this document, the Chamber of Commerce is supporting Golden’s bill for Education Tax Investment Credit (for 90% credit – see bill here). Vouchers aren’t legal and last year Golden and others tried to push this bill as well. WHAT THE HECK IS THE CHAMBER DOING DISCUSSING THIS?
This is not the first time I have seen the Chamber representative in Albany.
2) The Brooklyn Chamber has AirBnB as a member. Linda Rosenthal wrote a bill about AirBnB because she saw the problem!
3) The Brooklyn Chamber was present a meeting to discuss eminent domain of a Coney Island property. The City of NY had representatives there through another office, so why was the Chamber there? Eminent domain is not supposed to be used to seize private property for another business’ use. Why was a representative speaking against the Brooklyn business owner who owned the land.
4) The Brooklyn Chamber has Cars2Go as a member of there group. Parking is a commodity in Brooklyn and yet Cars2Go can use our streets as their parking lot. Something isn’t right here.
Something doesn’t seem right here.
