How Many People in Bay Ridge Is Senator Golden “Too Busy” For?
Earlier today, there was a candidates forum in Bay Ridge. Senator Golden told Bay Ridge resident, Mallory McMahon that he was TOO BUSY for her. (See Kadia Goba’s video here)
Senator Golden’s thinks it’s acceptable for a state senator to tell a resident that “he’s too busy.”
WHAT CHANGED ABOUT SENATOR GOLDEN?
Is the arrogant man seen in the video the one that the residents of this community elected years ago?
A kind politician would have been polite and he would have offered a meeting with her right there. But that’s not who Marty Golden has become.
The real reason Golden didn’t want to meet with McMahon is she questioned why Senator Golden hasn’t fought for the NY State funds that Bay Ridge schools are owed. Senator Golden hasn’t even spoken up about our schools being consistently underfunded. Every paper in this area should be questioning why Golden hasn’t fought for that funding. But no one mentions it. Marty knows he hasn’t done his job and he doesn’t want McMahon to point it out to him (or anyone else).
McMahon has tried to meet with Golden since February 27th and has received the run around from Golden’s staff (scheduled meetings and cancelled). See here
How many people in Bay Ridge has Marty Golden been “too busy” to speak to because the are not the same political party as Senator Golden? Most people aren’t as persistent or as organized as McMahon and probably let it go after Golden has ignored them a few times.
After the forum, Senator Golden had his staffer attack Mallory on Twitter with a lie that McMahon worked for Gounardes. The staffer has several accounts and goes on the attack with the accounts to make it look like more people are supporting Marty. Marty doesn’t realize that this makes him look worse.
McMahon asks Gournardes to confirm that she doesn’t work for him. He confirms and then get ready for this……..Senator Golden’s wife tweeted Gounardes and McMahon. Yes, Senator Golden’s wife is attacking his opponent online – see here. Again, this just makes Marty looks worse. Why? Because Senator Golden, his wife and staff didn’t stoop this low in the last election. What’s different now?
