Protesters Were Outside Senator Andrew Gounardes Office in Brooklyn
The cowardly senator and his staff didn’t respond to the large crowd of Brooklynites protesting outside of his office. They were protesting because the people want transparency on The Brooklyn Marine Terminal Project – the vote on this project has been postponed three times!
Senator Gounardes has failed to provide leadership and represent the people after all this time. A transportation study has not even been done after all this time!
See video:
Andrew Gounardes has not taken this project seriously from the start. Last Summer, meetings were held while Gounardes was out of the country at his brother’s wedding. The people running the meeting just kept repeating the same information over and over.
Above, the people thanked all the politicians except Andrew Gounardes and Dan Goldman.
See journalist, Mary Frost’s writing about this project:
Before Senator Gounardes was elected to office, he was against gerrymandering and lobbyists. After being elected, the district lines were changed dramatically. We went to see who was lobbying Andrew Gounardes and trying to get hold of the Brooklyn waters. We saw this:
Andrew Gounardes should have recused himself from this project because he has received a lot of donations and this should not be a pay-to-play project. Before coming a senator, Gounardes used to speak out against the former senator for pay-to-play projects.
Charles Tebele is on the EDC that is in charge of this project. Former Mayor de Blasio appointed Charles Tebele to the EDC. See the reason why here:
Congressman Dan Goldman received donations from Tebele soon after Mayor Adams added him to this project.
