Slow Response From Justin Brannan. He Used to Be The First Voice Heard….Now He’s One of the Last
Yesterday, people noticed that Columbus Day was nixed from the NYC school calendar. In it’s place was: Indigenous People’s Day (now Italian Heritage Indigenous People Day).
People spoke in favor or against the change on social media on Monday and newspaper early yesterday (See here). Justin Brannan didn’t say anything.
Late today, Brannan responded on Facebook. Brannan used to be one of the first voices people heard in our community. We’ve seen Brannan delayed in responding to situations.
This should have been an easy one for Brannan to write as he celebrates Columbus Day. (See photos here)
What was he doing yesterday? Writing another opt-ed for the paper of course. (See here) In the article, Brannan failed to mention all of the businesses which received no help. Brannan also left out all of the Bay Ridge businesses that that closed quietly this year.
NYC Council did not help businesses a lot after Covid. Why is Justin Brannan spending time writing to a newspaper about what other parts of government are doing for businesses? (See here)
How was Justin Brannan with businesses in Bay Ridge before Covid? Justin pushed a BID that the majority of the business owners didn’t want. For over a year they tried to get a BID to pass. The residents want the business owners to do well here. Brannan needed to listen better – not to a small group, but to the all business owners. Thousands of tax dollars were wasted on “exploring a BID.”

Silence during an election year. Or lack of taking a clear position. Andrew Gournades employed the same technique last year during the summer. These guys are extremely afraid of pushing their moderate districts too far.

Yes, same nonsense.
