Gounardes Joins a Rent Bill on March 30th
The NYS Senate had a rent bill. Why didn’t Senator Andrew Gounardes join that rent bill and work with those senators to refine the bill.
Instead he was tweeting nonsense. On March 30th, Gounardes announced he was supporting an alternate rent bill. That bill hasn’t been passed for tomorrow, April 1st.
How does Gounardes face people and tell them that he only joined the rent bill this late?
Every year, the state lawmakers gather and rush a budget through instead of taking their time and making cuts where necessary. This year was no different. Why? Because these are not proactive people representing us. They aren’t taking the care and diligence to do the job well.
The Coronavirus Pandemic isn’t people’s fault and politicians should have had people’s backs. Having someone’s back doesn’t mean hopping on an alternate bill right before April 1st and not providing immediate relief for people.
Gounardes tweeted that the Senate will work on Property Tax Bill next week – yeah right. You and I both know the senate isn’t going to help Bay Ridge home owners. If they were going to do it, they would have done it right after the NYC property tax commission’s work came back incomplete. Instead Gounardes got a bill for the bike community passed.
Do you remember how fast Senator Gounardes pushed the bill to give tickets to cars speeding to school zones? Sadly, he hasn’t pushed any other bills through like that money-maker.
