Senator Gounardes Voted for Bail Reform and Refused to Make Changes Even When the Statistics Showed Problems in NYC
Mayor Eric Adams presented these statistics to the NYS Senate and Assembly today here.
At the beginning of this year, when Andrew Gounardes saw the 2021 rates had increased dramatically, he should have moved to change bail reform.
There are stories in the newspapers every week showing how bail reform is allowing criminals to be repeat offenders. Gounardes obviously doesn’t read them. This week, a man was given a second chance and he attacked a sanitation worker. (See here)
Instead, Gounardes just wants to tweet and not take action..
Eric Adams shouldn’t have to ask the Senate to make a change, when it’s obvious something is wrong in NYC.
We asked Gounardes to change the bail reform bill when a woman was sexually assaulted. (See here) Gounardes didn’t tell his friends in Albany about the women in Brooklyn, who have been hurt by bail reform.
Please someone in Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights or Brooklyn, step up and run against Andrew Gounardes. The senate position isn’t for playing politics and for someone to accept PAC money when our community keeps asking for help. Gounardes failed this community and should not be running for re-election.
