Andrew Gounardes Acts for Bay Ridge Children
As a lifelong resident of Bay Ridge, Andrew Gounardes knows our streets and he knows he can make them safer. While he’s not our Senator yet, Gounardes crowdfunded to get these signs which will be a good reminder for drivers in our neighborhood. Why? Because he’s someone who will act when he sees there is a problem.
Marty Golden is being referred to as a speed racer and reckless politician in the paper today. Golden has done nothing to stop the speeding that everyone is complaining about in Bay Ridge.
Golden has also failed to protect this community as has played games in the Senate by initially backing the speed camera bill and then introducing a weaker bill for stop signs.
What’s changed about Marty Golden?
Marty Golden no longer has the influence in the Senate. In July, Golden told the papers he called for the Senate to reconvene and nothing happened – Senator Flanagan, the majority leader ignored Marty. Any movement on this bill after the September primary elections would make Golden look like a chump because Senator Perata has already called Golden out on this by saying: “I have a suspicion he’ll try to call us back after the primary, when Golden’s opponent will be determined,” Peralta said. “That way, it will be seen as a victory for Golden if and when [the speed camera program] gets expanded.”
