Senator Iwen Chu Thought She Could Fool Brooklyn – STAND UP BROOKLYN – VOTE!
This week, a publication wrote about Iwen Chu’s new bill about hotels. The journalist left out something very important.
Iwen Chu accepted $5000 from the NY Hotel Trades Council Commission at the end of September this year. The journalist failed to include this. This information is made public for people and journalists to check politicians. (NYS site) See here:
That bill probably will never be voted on because money controls the politicians:

Chu’s Deputy Chief-of-Staff, Lenny Markh yelled “Shame on You” at the people protesting outside the shelter location this week. Why? Because he doesn’t live here and he doesn’t care. This article shows he is from Redhook. (Source)

Last November, Iwen Chu received the letter about the homeless shelter below and she failed to share it with the community. This letter was for the community, not for Chu to withhold.
At the end of this Summer, Iwen Chu realized the community was fighting and she wasn’t there with them.
Senator Iwen Chu could have stood up and asked for a different type of shelter or should could have asked for real housing for families in need. Instead, this shelter will have 150 men. After Covid, this community realized they can’t be quiet because they are being ignored and safety is not a concern (remember in 2020 this community was where a grandmother was lit on fire and not one politician took action – (See here)
