Does the Brooklyn Library Allow Politicians to Use The Library as an Office?
Why is Senator Iwen Chu and her staff meeting at their office in the Brooklyn Library? Notice the 800 section books behind them.
I didn’t know the Brooklyn Library allowed elected officials to use the library as an office and selfie station!
There are plenty of empty storefronts in the area – why didn’t the newly elected senator rent one?
I also didn’t know that state senators only worked three days a week for four hours a day:
Chu told Brooklynites she was a “decade-long public servant,” so she must have realized in November that she needed an office, yet visitors to her site won’t find one on her website:
How would someone in Dyker Heights who is working to pay their rent or mortgage meet with a representative whose hours are 10 am – 2 pm? The only people who are free during those hours are seniors, stay-at-home mothers, college students and unemployed individuals.
Why didn’t Peter Abbate’s offer Iwen Chu his office? Brooks-Krasny took over Frontus’ offices and already shared all the information – that’s someone who is showing the community they are ready to go.
NYS budgets must allow for a year of rent. If Chu doesn’t use the full twelve months, where does the money go?
