We Thought We Couldn’t Do Any Worse than Eric Adams….Antonio Reynoso Would be WORSE.
Eric Adams is term-limited – THANK GOD. Brooklyn needs a borough president who actually loves Brooklyn and the people here.
Candidates are coming forward to run for the position. We didn’t think we can do any worse than Eric Adams, but Antonio Reynoso is a lot WORSE. Reynoso is term-limited in NYC Council, so he’s looking for his next paycheck.
Reynoso represents the other side of Brooklyn and Queens. There is NO WAY he should represent Brooklyn because he doesn’t seem to understand the people or even what’s going on in Brooklyn!
1) Antonio Reynoso wants to take control away from Community Boards. SMH…..Seriously? Reynoso wants bike lanes so it’s okay if they are shoved on a community….even if they don’t want them. People who serve on these community boards give up their time to represent their neighbors because Reynoso wants to run his agenda, he wants to take away their say. See here
2) Antonio Reynoso, as the Sanitation Chair of NYC Council recommended that residents be charged to have their garbage picked up. Apparently, Reynoso thought NYC residents were getting free garbage pickup. Reynoso complained that in other places in the United States, people pay for sanitation services. NY’ers already pay for trash pickup – Reynoso doesn’t realized the tax is called “tax’em until they move out of NYC.” See here
3) Under Reynoso as the Sanitation of NYC, streets seemed to be a lot dirtier than they were before. (Just sayin’…….I doubt there is any Brooklynite who would disagree with me here.)
4) Reynoso’s plan is to force small businesses to use certain garbage carting services. That is sooo wrong! This is America – people can purchase from whomever they want. See here I have no idea who is benefitting here, but from the moment I heard this plan, I could see the word corruption written all over it. Some companies are choosen and businesses will need to purchase a garbage carting plan from that company. Can you imagine how this will hurt small business owners in Bay Ridge?
5) While parents in our Bay Ridge community are fighting over the SHSAT, Antonio is speaking against them! Parents go to work and after work they attend these meetings to fight for their children’s education. They don’t want to spend their evening that way. These parent didn’t make the system that exists today.
If we were talking about sports, no one would care if parents paid for coaches or special classes for the athletes to be successful. For these children, education is their sport – it’s what they are good at and enjoy.
The city should be reproducing successful programs where parents are this engaged. All these years, Antonio Reynoso was SILENT when the results of the Specialized Schools came out. Reynoso NEVER spoke out for any group in Brooklyn. See here
Why hasn’t Antonio Reynoso visited the successful schools where these students want to go. When there are issues with education, politicians should be talking to successful EDUCATION leaders in our community. Let them lead this conversation! We are sooo tired of politicians playing politics over our school sytem.
6) Reynoso is so full of himself that he retweets his own messages (see the top of the picture above). That means he doesn’t have a clue about social media and is just obsessed with himself.
One of the things I think politicians should think about is….if they didn’t exist in this world, would what they have done gotten taken care of anyway? If the answer is YES, then they shouldn’t run for office. There are plenty of people who have great ideas and want to move this city forward without shoving things down people’s throats.
Reynoso, sadly is one of those politicians who has a lot of pictures and articles out there, but hasn’t really done much.
Keep moving Reynoso – go run for something in Queens. By the way, Reynoso is said to be a Progressive. Progressives should make him turn in his card.
Let’s hope Brooklyn gets some better candidates.
Hugs,
