Ross Barkan is Good for Bay Ridge Businesses
Ross Barkan called Senator Golden out for his failure to meet with a Bay Ridge resident and discuss money for schools in Bay Ridge. Senator Golden’s staff scheduled an appointment, cancelled it and has not rescheduled it.
Barkan is ready to listen to constituents REGULARLY. While a resident couldn’t get a meeting with Senator Golden, Ross Barkan wants to open up the lines of communication and hold meetups in local places. He realizes that it is important to be accessible to residents.
Barkan’s plan is also a great way to help our local businesses! We can all see Merchant’s Avenues are suffering. Why hasn’t Senator Golden ever done anything like this to help local businesses on 3rd or 5th Avenue?
On Wednesday, May 18th, Ross Barkan will be at Coffee RX 6903 – 3rd Avenue from 3:00 – 5:00 pm . Don’t worry if you miss this one, he will be doing more.
One of the most important tweets from Barkan was this one that I saw today:
My husband and I have great healthcare. If we didn’t, we would have been pushed into debt by bills last year when Lee had stomach cancer. A one day operation and a week in the hospital was paid entirely by his healthcare – over $70,000. What would someone who didn’t have healthcare have done? No one should be put in this position.
Andrew Gounardes has also called out Senator Golden many times for failing Bay Ridge.
