NYC Council Plays Politics with Home Owners
NYC Council is playing games. While they formws a tax advisory committee, the group is just playing games and wasting time, but not changing antone’s tax.
With Corey Johnson as Speaker, this just isn’t a priority, so the tax advisory committee is going to hold hearings now and in the Spring. While that was an effective way for dealing with the MTA problem, that isn’t effective for property tax because all the data they needs is is already available – property tax records! Why do they need people to get up and say “Hey we are paying an unreasonable amount of tax – can you check that all parts of the city are being charged at the same rate?”
The city continues to use an old tax rate chart and Bill de Blasio and his wife continue to pay low taxes (less than half of our tax for a bigger house that’s closer to the city and has a working subway nearby). Councilman Joe Borelli also pays more than the Mayor, so he introduced a resolution for property tax last Winter, yet the Council has not followed up on it.

September 23, 2018Gerry Kassar Showing Out Again
Earlier this month, Gerry Kassar got schooled by a resident and he got caught for retweeting one of Senator Golden’s staff fake accounts. As Chief of Staff, Kassar should be in control of what is happening at Golden’s office, but instead he’s engaged in online banter:
Gerry Kassar, former Chairman of the Brooklyn Conservative Party love the attention. Above is Gerry’e normal online banter which is typical before his candidate loses. We saw him do the same last year!
Kassar really shouldn’t endorse in this election because everyone in Bay Ridge still remembers his involvement in the placeholder candidate from last year and how Mike Long threw Gerry under the bus.
The Bay Ridge Dems had endorsed Chris McCreight and McCreight had withdrawn from the race. The club doesn’t do second endorsements, so they had to sit out the last election.
When Senator Golden loses in November, now he’ll have Gerry to blame.

September 22, 2018Mark Treyger Doesn’t Know How to Do the Right Thing for the Community
I fixed Mark Treyger’s Facebook Post because he doesn’t know how to be appropriate when a woman wins!
Doesn’t Mark Treyger have any political friends who can tell him not to write nonsense like this? Treyger could have written: Congratulations Dr. Frontus……and left it at that.
As the elected District Leader, Treyger should have been able to put out a simple congratulatory message to Mathylde…..but he’s been a Bad Democrat for a long time so this was all he could put together.
The people of Coney Island and Bay Ridge have spoken with their vote and that’s all that matters. People in these two different areas started talking with each other because they have not been happy with the candidates Mark Treyger has been pushing.
No one cares that Ethan got votes from Trump Village Democrats. Treyger told all of them to vote for Ethan. If Treyger supported his community, he would have told them to vote for Mathylde and they would have. Treyger is just angry that he doesn’t have all the control in Coney Island, so he can fool people. No Democrat would have voted for Ethan if they knew he had IDC money from Diane Savino. (By the way, that was a real dumb move, but they did it because they are used to no one watching in Coney Island).
The real Democrats went out and voted – Mark Treyger Jr. lost. It’s time for Mark Treyger to stop being divisive (even saying Ethan was a mensch is not okay because women are not mensch’ and most of the district doesn’t understand what a mensch is anyway).
Did you see the kind words Dr. Frontus said after she won? Mathylde is not a cookie cutter politician and that means it isn’t going to be politics as usual here.
