Who is Pulling Justin Brannan?
This week Councilman Justin Brannan tweeted a link to his op-ed in Crain’s Twice. The article was written with Carlo Scissura. Scissura hailed the BQX project could see was terrible and he welcomed AirBnB to Brooklyn. (If you ever wondered why Cars2Go (see here), a car rental place can take parking on our streets without paying anything – this is the guy to ask).
Who is pulling Brannan’s strings here?
Did Brannan forget who elected him?
Why isn’t the Councilman handling the problems in this district? Brannan has a large staff, but I think he was more productive when his staff was smaller.
While he has been in office for two years, Brannan hasn’t been able to cut the red tape for home owners in his district. In fact, he has become part of the red tape in some situations while he whispers op-eds into local papers….no Crains op-ed for the discriminatory property taxes our neighborhood is receiving. Even Mayor de Blasio ignored Brannan’s article from September.
He’s good at the small 311 reported problems, but our district has a lot of larger problems that he hasn’t been able to get in front of. So he shouldn’t be writing Op-Eds like he has unlimited free time. For home owners in his district, we want to know: “Who is pulling Justin Brannan?”
