Brannan Calls for Brooklyn VA to Stay Open
I hadn’t heard the rumors that the Brooklyn Veteran’s Hospital was considering closing. Councilman Justin Brannan issued a strong letter explaining why the the hospital should remain open for Veterans.

I could understand why they would close the VA Hospital – it’s on a real JUICY piece of property. It’s huge! The Veteran’s should hold on to it because the hospital has a parking lot and that makes it easy for patients and their visitors to park and get into the hospital easily. These men and women served our country and should have easy access to medical care. It’s absurd to plan for them to go to Manhattan when this place is always very busy. Great call by Councilman Brannan!
Greedy developers must be offering top dollar and incentives towards those who are in charge (not at the hospital, but higher up). Money can move mountains (and close hospitals too).
Senator Golden didn’t speak out on this, yet he was skydiving to support veteran’s in Staten Island (seen here). Does he know he is the State Senator for Bay Ridge?
