Gounardes Carried the Water as Governor Hochul Pretends She is Going to Take Action
Govenor Kathy Hochul gave her state of the state speech. It’s no surprise that developers are going to be in NYS for another year.
In July 2023, Governor Hochul told NYS that she was going to fine illegal cannabis shops. In the past six months, no stores in Bay Ridge have been fined by the Governor.
Senator Andrew Gounardes should have stood up in Albany and spoken out or protested for our community. Instead Gounardes is a puppet and repeated Hochul on X/Twitter.
Andrew Gounardes is calling illegal pot stores: “small cannabis retailers.” We need a new leader Bay Ridge. Those who can’t abide by the rules are operating illegally! Since 2022, Gouanardes has been looking the other way. (See here)
Meanwhile New Yorkers rallied against Governor Hochul over the drug overdose crisis. They want Governor to declare a state of emergency on the opioid crisis!
