Who Did Sen. Gournardes Write This Report For?
Senator Andrew Gounardes released a report about the broken MTA. There’s no new information and no solutions. Who in Bay Ridge or Marine Park wanted this report?
Did Andrew Gounardes do these transit surveys so he could have his staffer take his pictures and send it to the paper? Would this fool people into believe he did something? I hope not!
Did the cyclists who Gounardes overrode our Community Board want to hear about the broken train system so they could push for more rights on the road? See here
Or is this to help the owners of the ferry get money from the state? The report is obviously for someone because Bay Ridge residents aren’t asking for this. Story here
I just don’t get it. There are thousands of residents in Senator Gounardes area who are overpaying on their property taxes. Why isn’t there a report stating how many residents are being overcharged? Why wouldn’t Gounardes want to know how much property tax his district is paying in comparison to Bill de Blasio’s district. (Gournardes’ friend, Brad Lander also benefits from the low property taxes).
Andrew Gounardes isn’t willing to do the work to meet with de Blasio and get an answer about when there will be property tax reform in the city. Justin Brannan can’t ask Corey Johnson to follow through on the Property Tax Commission, but Andrew Gounardes certainly can. He’s just too lazy to do it.
