Why Did Jay Brown Fail to Mention That Wai Yee Chan Lives in Queens?
Jay Brown, a journalist for the Brooklyn Reporter wrote a column called, “It’s a Matter of Fact.”
Yet, Jay Brown failed to tell Brooklyn that Wai Yee Chan is a Queens resident. (See article)
When Brown was asked about this on Twitter, Jay ignored people and didn’t correct the article. Brown didn’t want to explain the mistake or why he left out this important information.
Some of the candidates running for the District 43 City Council seat are parents. It’s surprising that Jay Brown would try to take another parent’s opportunity away by minimizing another candidate’s accomplishments and pushing for a politician that lives in Queens.
Today, John Liu was in Brooklyn campaigning for Wai Yee. What interest does Liu have in our election.
Jay Brown is seen on the Bay Ridge Democrats social media page supporting Wai Yee. He should have disclosed that information in his article.
We were shocked the Bay Ridge Democrats endorsed a candidate that had taken money from a PAC money (PAC = political action Committee).
Taypayers for Affordable New York is a known Real Estate Pac. Julia Salazar explains this here. This article explains Real Estate Pac money in this election.
How embarrassing for Andrew Gounardes, Justin Brannan and Iwen Chu to be pushing a candidate who took Real Estate PAC money!
Democrat District Leader, Chris McCreight used to speak out against PACs, but now he is tweeting and supporting Wei Yee Chan. Not one Democrat has spoken out against Wai Yee accepting PAC money.
Sadly, none of these politicians were present supporting the community at the 86th Street meeting in April, where residents had to fight against a developer. (Info here and here)
