RIP Joe Hynes
Charles Hynes was the Brooklyn District Attorney during most of my life. Although, I didn’t pay attention to politics back then, newspapers printed great stories about Hynes and the programs he was running.
In 2008, I made an appointment to speak to Hynes because of neighbor to my family’s business needed help. She was a victim of predatory lending. Hynes was informative and helpful. He seemed genuinely concerned and sympathetic. Hynes had his office staff contact the neighbor to assist her. And after they helped her, Hynes’ called me to tell me what they did.
I’m sorry his career ended in such a negative way. No one wanted to vote for him and neighbors were telling neighbors what they heard. It seemed like the people pushing his candidacy weren’t his friends at all. All the good things the Hynes did seemed less important to people.
RIP Joe.
Hugs,
