McCabe Challenges Gounardes Over Bail Reform
Liam McCabe is challenging Andrew Gounardes’ support for ‘no bail’ for criminals. See here
In Bay Ridge, a woman was attacked and had her leggings pulled down in the bathroom at the 95th Street Subway Station by a man who got out of jail because of bail reform.
McCabe called Gounardes a bum on Facebook for supporting bail reform. See here
Most people here believe the NY State elected politicians went too far with bail reform.
I called on Mathylde Frontus and Andrew Gounardes to do something and neither has done anything to correct the bill because their party doesn’t want to. We got the feeling that neither thinks they need our support.
While Bay Ridge has many Democrats, Socialists and Republicans, a lot of us will base our vote on our community. We are looking for the Bay Ridge candidate. There are enough people playing politics and the Trump cards. We need someone who is going to base their vote on the Bay Ridge community and not their party.

The city has primary and secondary locations identified to quarantine people, but they need army bases for large groups who aren’t showing signs of the virus, but need to be tested.

Shore Rd & Ridge Blvd 3:56:22 PM EST
Prayers for our neighbor…hopefully she is okay and has a quick recovery! We’re glad she is alive!
Prayers also for the driver.
In the afternoon, the 68th Precinct shared that they were talking to residents about pedestrian safety. Maybe this wasn’t the best day to talk about pedestrian safety. Their flyer needs to add a new box: “Wear sneakers and start running when a 3,000 pound vehicle is approaching you on the sidewalk.”
Neighborhood Coordination Officers Caputo and Alverio were out at 9000 Shore Rd on Tuesday giving out flyers spreading awareness about pedestrian safety. #NYPDTransport #VisionZero pic.twitter.com/FCau6qxnP0

February 5, 2020Shorefront News Doesn’t Have it Right
I saw the above blur and went to read it.
Shorefront News wrote here, “Because of term limits, next year will be the last for Mr, Brannan in the City Council. That’s not true.
Brannan was elected in November 2017 and started in January 2018. Councilmembers are elected for four years and can serve for two consecutive terms. Why would David Strobin write that Brannan was term-limited?
