Marty Golden’s Office Has Some Common Sense……..FINALLY!
Senator Golden is great at giving speeches, but he isn’t a good manager. For years, we have watched his staff make him look foolish. Finally he hired some men who are real community activists with common sense – they have a new page called Graffiti Squad. Bay Ridge and other areas of Brooklyn have lame graffiti artists who use templates or stickers on posts and mailboxes. Marko Kepi went out spraying over the graffiti. On Senator Golden’s Facebook page, he wrote if you see graffiti in our community you can call my office at 718-238-6044 and Marko & James will remove it.
In October, Senator Golden retweeted his staff member, John Quaglione’s tweet with a picture and complaint about graffiti. Instead of getting a can of paint and taking care of the graffiti, Quaglione went on social media to complain about it. On Twitter, I questioned why Marty Golden would retweet that because it isn’t helpful! In fact, posting pictures of graffiti just gives publicity to the graffiti artist. The same finger that taps the phone can be used to press the button on the spray paint.
If the staff member who retweeted this on Twitter didn’t know any better, than Marty’s Chief of Staff should have told them to take it down/.
I’m glad Senator Golden finally has some workers who are interested in helping the community and have some common sense. Thank you Marko and James. BTW, I think this is the first time in seven years that I have written something positive about Marty Golden.
Hugs,
