Justin Brannan Didn’t Become the NYC Council Speaker
Justin Brannan barely got re-elected and he thought he should be the NYC Council Speaker.
Thankfully,Brannan won’t be! If he had the votes, he wouldn’t have bailed.
Adrienne Adams started off the NYC Council Forum with Errol Louis strong, but then she said a lot things that weren’t so good. The good thing is that she wasn’t a “defund the NYPD” Council member.
Any NYC Council member would have been better than Brannan because Brannan doesn’t care if dogs are killed (34 year contract with ACC – Brannan was silent) and the East River Park was destroyed while the people weren’t allowed to see the report. (See how rudely they were treated at Brannan’s office). Don’t be angry by this, Romans 12:19.
Brannan is the head of the NYC committee on resiliency. He receives extra money to head this committee. People in NYC drowned in their basements this year and Brannan still hasn’t action, so it doesn’t happen again.
The Councilman thinks that everything I write is from him. LOL!
I write about Bay Ridge! I have for many years – long before Justin Brannan was a Councilman. When money is an issue (see here), I share it. Brannan doesn’t write about Bay Ridge on his social media any more. Why didn’t he tell Bay Ridge about that money?
When Justin Brannan took office, he wrote a bill for drone lobbyists the first month in office. (See his bill) That’s who Brannan represents. In February 2021, Gothamist wrote about Brannan. (See here)
Bay Ridge is not better since Justin Brannan took office. His wife, mother and staff should have conveyed that message to him. The community did when he won by such a small margin. As the incumbent, Brannan should have been able to carry the election as well as Vinnie Gentile did on his second term. Even Democrats voted against him.
Groups that should be holding Justin accountable are not. Some people head groups that receive money from Brannan (or they work at organizations that are funded by Brannan), so they are silent and part of the problem.
I don’t think Brannan has been a good representative for this community for years now. This community deserves someone who is willing to work, represent and stand up for us – not hold our seat and be silent as dogs die for the next 32 years. (Info)
We wish Brannan would talk about the topics I have shared here this week – prostitution, commercial vehicles and crime in our area (especially in the subway).
