June 14, 2018Bill Colton is Sleeping – Brooklyn
The students, parents and politicians protested this LAST weekend (before the protest, they held meetingS). Assemblyman Bill Colton just woke up and is holding a meeting on June 16th. (Yes Really)
How did Colton miss this? Here’s Colton’s “emergency meeting.” Bill, the Assembly called off the vote…..No Emergency.
NEWS from ASSEMBLYMAN WILLIAM COLTON
CALL TO EMERGENCY MEETING!
Assemblyman William Colton Mobilizing All Parents & Those Interested In the Quality of Education in NYC Protest Mayor de Blasio’s Plan To Eliminate the Specialized High School Admissions Test!
Come Express Our Disapproval WHEN: Saturday, June 16, 2018 at 11:00AM WHERE: 29 Bay 25th Street Brooklyn (Between 86th Street & Benson Avenue)
Dear Friends,
I have been opposing the proposals to eliminate the SHSAT and drastically change the criteria for admissions to our Specialized HighSchools and I will continue to do so.
Thanks to the huge number of opposing emails received by legislators, I am happy to tell you the attempt to rush this divisive proposal to a vote has been stopped, but not before the Assembly
Education Committee narrowly voted for it.
However, this will come up again next year. We cannot wait to act and unless we plan now to organize a massive campaign against it, we will face another serious threat to destroy these schools that are so important to our children.
This is why I am calling an Emergency Meeting for this Saturday June 16 at 11AM at 29 Bay 25 Street Brooklyn (between 86 Street and Benson Avenue) to plan how to save our children’s education and how to organize ourselves against this divisive and destructive plan and to improve the quality of education for all children.
Please come to this important meeting. We will have light refreshments and critical ideas as to what must be done to protect the education of all children in NYS. I hope to see you on Saturday,
Sincerely,
Assemblyman Bill Colton

June 13, 2018Christ Church Little Library
Christ Church at 7301 Ridge Blvd in Bay Ridge recently received a well-stocked Little Library. Some Girl Scouts choose to install the Little Library as their bronze project. It’s a pretty impressive project for the girl scouts to take on and children in Bay Ridge will enjoy the access to books, especially when the library is closed or their parent can’t bring them. I’m grateful for Community Organizations in Bay Ridge that inspire young people to use their creativity and kindness to help others.
The other Little Library that I know of was installed by Tony in Sunset Park.

June 12, 2018Mark Treyger Needs to Step Down
Days ago, Mark Treyger blamed Pam Harris’ problems on Bay Ridge……as if Pam Harris was the victim – see here. He couldn’t hear the community who elected him District Leader because of hubris.
Pam Harris plead guilty to four charges today. Remember during election season when she swore she was innocent and cried crocodile tears? We knew better.
Bay Ridge has known about the corruption for a long time and we are glad someone took action because Treyger won’t. Treyger pushed Harris even after we knew about some of the corruption. Even now in 2018, Tregyer has never acknowledged his role in allowing Pam to steal all of that money. The FBI had to investigate because Treyger didn’t take care of taxpayer’s money.
It’s time for Mark Treyger to step down as District Leader and allow someone with a connection to the community help choose and support leaders. Treyger doesn’t have the heart or the connection to our community. He is term-limited as a councilman and needs to seek a new position so our area is not his concern.
Here are Mark Treyger’s lousy endorsements as a leader:
– Pam Harris for Assembly – Treyger pushed her even after the newspapers revealed she had done some corrupt things.
– Nancy Tong – Treyger pushed an out of district candidate even though the community had a candidate. Tong didn’t live in the area and and wasn’t able to answer simple questions about the diverse community of Bay Ridge.
– Currently, Mark Treyger is pushing Ethan Lustig-Elgrably and Coney Island residents were annoyed with Treyger for not finding someone in the community to run for Assembly. Ethan Lustig-Elgrably worker for Treyger while the whole Pam Harris situation went on so Lustig-Elgrably knows no one is watching the assembly. #GimmeABreak
Step Down Mark Treyger!!!

June 12, 2018Grimm and Donovan NY1 Debate – June 14th
On Thursday, June 14th Errol Louis will be moderating a debate on Channel 1 between Michael Grimm and Dan Donovan. Grimm accepted the debate in April.
See the first debate here.
Grab your popcorn and invite your neighbors for a showdown (or not). Dan Donovan will be coming out confident because he has the President’s endorsement.
Grimm is going to come on strong….maybe too strong.
