Journalist Called Out Andrew Gounardes and Brannan For Playing Politics On Social Media
If you are wondering why things don’t get done in Bay Ridge, it’s because elected officials are playing on social media and not taking care of important issues (ex. PS 185’s Afterschool Program was defunded. (Info Here)
Finally, a journalist called out our Bay Ridge politicians for going after their political foes:
There was a lot of chaos in Brooklyn yesterday near the location for the new homeless shelter planned for 86th Street in Gravesend, Brooklyn. The developers started working at 5:00 am and when the Councilwoman Susan Zhuang saw there were no permits, she went to the location to protest the work. Things got heated between the people and police.
Neither Senator Andrew Gounardes or Justin Brannan attended the rally. Yet, Andrew Gounardes spent yesterday playing on social media like a 15-year-old teen. He wrote the statement below to stick it to another politician because his friend (a woman from Queens lost to the current councilwoman)….so hateful!
Neither Gounardes or Brannan represents that area, so why would they need to make a statement? The politicians should have worked on restoring funding the afterschool programs in Bay Ridge! (Info Here)
People are catching on to Gounardes’ unprofessional use of social media
Today, the same journalist shared this photo saying that Justin Brannan handed these teeth to a reporter for Spectrum News at a press conference today:
Bay Ridge, remember our community was only told one sentence from Community Board 10 about the homeless shelter in Bay Ridge.
Andrew Gounardes and Justin Brannan failed to communicate with the community about the homeless shelter and the City of Yes.
A few times a month, Andrew Gounardes sends out an email with photos of himself, but he isn’t sharing important information like the difference between a legal marijuana dispensary and the illegal ones we have been seen for two years!
Andrew Gounardes attended the City of Yes meeting at St. Anselm and he didn’t stand up and share any information with the community. Brannan didn’t even attend!
We need to elect people who want to help our community, communicate with us and not be people who who hate other politicians in adjacent districts.
Hugs,
