April 18, 2019Union Church in Bay Ridge Received Threat
Last night Union Church in Bay Ridge was threatened with destruction of property because of their support of the LGBTQ community. More about the phoned-in threat here and here
Councilman Brannan shared:
Why would someone threaten a peaceful church and pastor? They didn’t like the rainbow flag sticker.
This evening, rainbow ribbons were tied to the Union Church fence. Bay Ridge Community Groups came out to support the Union Church. Hate has no place in Bay Ridge and good people in Bay Ridge put these ribbons up as a sign of support. They always do nice things and their message is clear to all. We are lucky to have neighbors like this.
Don’t mess with the Union Church or the LGBTQ community – there’s no reason to bother these people.
Some jerks gave Councilman Brannan a hard time for expressing his support for the Union Church and LGBTQ community. (See here) We are glad that our Councilman’s message is loud and clear against hate towards anyone in Bay Ridge.

April 18, 2019Stephen Witt Smacks Jeff Coltin with White Priviledge in Journalism
Jeff Coltin, a politics reporter for City and State was tagged by Jumaane Williams staff to publish news.
Kelly Mena at Kings County Politics owned by Stephen Witt had been reporting on this topic. Why didn’t Williams team tag Mena? And why didn’t Witt go after Williams for that?
It’s simple….. Stephen Witt knows Williams will advertise with him in the future, so rather than attacking Williams for not giving KCP the story, he attacked Coltin and used white priviledge to silence Coltin.

April 18, 2019What John Alexander Doesn’t Want Us to Know in Bay Ridge
John Alexander writes articles for the Brooklyn Reporter. Alexander is also listed as a senior editor of the paper (see here).
This week he wrote about the Bay Ridge Memorial Day Parade. Marty Golden was chosen to lead the parade which is nice. But then Alexander just went off talking about Golden and leaving out some key things:
MARTY GOLDEN STOPPED FUNDING THE BAY RIDGE MEMORIAL DAY PARADE. The same paper years before told us the truth (see here)
We could understand if Marty was asked to head the Ragamuffin Parade because he and his wife have been involved in it. We can understand if Marty is asked to lead the Norwegian Day Parade because his former staffer heads that parade. But to lead a parade he didn’t fund…..that’s IRONIC….or idiotic.
We don’t understand why John Alexander doesn’t want Bay Ridge to know the truth about Republican politicians. At first we thought Alexander didn’t understand politics, but as time wore on, we saw Alexander purposely left out important details. John Alexander has never wanted us to know about Marty’s pay-to-play politics which was even discussed this week by Will Bredderman (See here) that was widely shared. Is Alexander so out of touch that he didn’t see it?
We have written to Helen Klein, the editor of the paper several times about issues with the paper printing one-sided articles. Klein doesn’t respond. She is one of the few editors that doesn’t respond to residents – I’ve even had an editor write to me on his son’s wedding day.
Last Fall, we realized that John Alexander didn’t want us to know the truth as he wrote about his friend Marty Golden. NOW we are grateful that Alexander wrote his piece because it allowed many to refute it – including Golden’s opponents. Residents realized that our local paper weren’t telling the whole story. (See here)
I won’t boo when Golden passes during the parade. I won’t cheer for a man who had no problem supporting the tobacco company with legislation (See here), created bills for rich Manhattan developers to get huge tax breaks (See here) while Bay Ridge’s small business owners suffered and Golden did nothing for them.
