Justin Brannan Sits on the NYC Council Committee For Public Safety. Why Does Their September Agenda Have One Item?
We have seen a lot of violence this Summer in NYC. We have seen a lot of problems on our streets and subways.
The NYC Council Committee hasn’t done much about public safety.
Adrienne Adams is the head of this committee and she didn’t want to defund the police in 2020. She spoke out about those who were protesting last Summer: “When those with privilege put down their torches and return home, our Black, Latino and Asian communities will remain.” (Source)
Why is the NYC Council Committee on Public Safety concentrating on reducing the responsibilities of the NYPD at their first meeting after the Summer?
*** They should be concentrating on working with the NYPD and making the trains safer, so people want to ride them again. ***
Our NYC Council Representative, Justin Brannan serves on this committee.
Why isn’t he doing more for NYC?
The police in Bay Ridge stepped it up in cleaning up this neighborhood during the pandemic when Brannan failed to do his job.
The NYPD were the ones painting over graffiti – not Justin Brannan. No one asked them to – they did it because they understand Brooklyn and know graffiti tags a community.

Last June, Councilman Brannan engaged in conversation online when a man inquired about him voting to defund the police. Brannan wrote: “Ya, I’m in.” (See here) Leaders have a responsibility to change the language and work cooperatively with the police.
Brannan heads the Committee for Resiliency and Waterfronts for NYC and wrote on Twitter last night that resiliency projects were not happening. That is not true because a huge project is happening in NYC. See the responses to his tweets here.
A community in Manhattan is upset because a large portion of the East River Park is going to be closed and many trees are going to be taken down because of a project. Environmentalists were concerned about this. They went to see Councilman Brannan. Brannan’s staff would not allow them in the office, even though they were wearing masks. (See here) Brannan didn’t schedule a meeting with them. They wanted information about the park and to see the documents that weren’t blacked out.
