Andrew Gounardes Doesn’t Want to Tell The Community About a Deceased Resident, But He Wants to Celebrate World Day of Remembrance
This morning Senator Andrew Gounardes tweeted about World Day of Remembrance.
Yet in July, when a woman was hit and killed by a livery driver on 4th Avenue and Senator Street, Andrew Gounardes never mentioned her name. (See info here)
Both Gounardes and Brannan say they are in contact with the NYPD. So why didn’t they share the information with the community?
The nameless 61-year-old woman remained nameless when the Bay Ridge environmental group invited Transalt and Families for Safer Streets for a walk through Bay Ridge. When they got to Senator Street, they said a woman was killed her. She’s not just a woman – she’s someone’s family member who had a life before the livery driver hit her.
Both Transalt and Families for Safer streets have no idea that Gounrdes does not speak out in the community. When he shared the World Remembrance Day it is because Families for Safer Streets celebrates that day.
Celebrating World Day of Remembrance is pointless when Senator Gounardes didn’t take the time to acknowledge the loss of this resident in Bay Ridge.
