Did Brannan’s Article on Property Taxes Fool You?
Did today’s article in the Daily News written by Councilman Justin Brannan and Joe Borelli fool you into thinking these politicians care about high property taxes in their area? Seen here and here.
All this article did was remind Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights that Justin Brannan is the wrong person for this job!
Strangely, after this year’s budget passed, Brannan tweeted that home owners will pay about $300 less next year. He didn’t mention that in today’s article.
If either Brannan or Borelli were authentic, they would have written an article when Senator Andrew Gounardes and the senate passed a bill to give NYS homeowners a tax break. Gounardes admitted to doing that here:
Justin Brannan helped Corey Johnson and Mayor de Blasio fool us with a property tax commission. The commission did nothing, but delay progress.
Senator Andrew Gounardes and Senator Brian Benjamin said last Fall that they were waiting on the Property Tax Commission. There was no reason for Gounardes or the senate to wait – they had the power to change the law for NYC.
We also didn’t see any outrage from Brannan or Borelli when the NYC Property Tax Commission came back and eight months later nothing happened!
Maybe Justin Brannan will write an article about all the lobbyists he is hearing from. We don’t understand why his name is listed in the lobbyist database so much and what all those dollar amounts mean. See here – (on the left choose 2018, 2019 and 2019, then go to the bottom and choose the green button and put in Targets – type Justin Brannan – select his name from the list and then search)
Maybe one of Brannan’s staffers is recording all of this nonsense and will write a book to out him for all of his nonsense!
Hopefully, Democrats, Independents and Republicans are looking for candidates to take back our seat and get Brannan out! There has to be a parent in this community who can fight for us, enjoy a $148,500 salary and not need lobbyist money.
Finally, let’s not forget Brannan and Borelli’s last silly newspaper article in December 2019. A policy expert smashed Brannan and Borelli’s article and explained how their bill would hurt long-time homeowners in New York City. See here In February 2020, Borelli and Brannan tried to fool us again with another silly article pointing the finger around at everyone but themselves.
