Jounalist Proved Pamela Harris Lied to Get Our Votes

pamela harris brooklyn assemblywoman
 

Ohhh Pamela Harris the news was not kind to you, but it brought us to the truth which you weren’t able to say.  The Daily News, the Bensonhurst Bean and even the Brooklyn Eagle slammed Assemblywoman Harris over money issues.

 

 

I am sure Pam Harris is thinking this problem isn’t anyone’s business and normally I would tend to agree. But this situation is different.

 

Why? 

 

The journalists proved that Pamela Harris lied last Fall when she ran for election.  

 

Strangely in mid-July, Stephen Witt of the Kings County Politics blog acted like he was helping Harris when he wrote about her not-for-profit.  Yet, Witt  published this bit of truth:

 

pamela harris charged rent
 

 

I wasn’t sure if that was accurate until I read Kenneth Lovett’s article in The Daily News yesterday. Lovett stated Harris’ financial disclosure matched Witt’s article.

 

pamela harris rent

 

 

Yet, The Daily News wasn’t able to name the renter. Here’s where Anna Spivak’s excellent reporting comes in:  Pamela Harris told Anna Spivak of The Brooklyn Reporter this:

 

pamela-harris-coney-island-generation-gap

 

It’s interesting that Pam spinned the situation and says that she “gave” the program the first floor when Pam was paid rent for that floor. SMH. As an educator, I will tell you when people say, “It’s about the children” – it’s never about the children – it’s just a smoke screen and they believe they don’t need to be accountable. When you mess up with money, you should be able to throw your paperwork up without being asked.

 

Through the great reporting of Kenneth Lovett,  Anna Spivak and even Steven Witt, we now have the truth. Pamela Harris lied at the debate with Lucretia Potter to get our votes. (And Lucretia Potter if you ever happen to read this blog – YOU WERE RIGHT – someone had to say it). 

 

ly
 

 

I don’t understand why  Pamela Harris told us the Coney Island Generation Gap rented “space from her neighbor.”   Why not just say the truth and tell people you collected rent from the not-for-profit?  

 

* I caught Pamela Harris lying about opening a Bay Ridge office in September, as I went there at the end of April to get help. The office didn’t  open until mid-May (story here).

 

 

 

mark treyger threw money at coney island generation gap pamela harris
 

 

Initially the Coney Island Generation Gap seemed to be doing some great things in the community. Then Councilman Mark Treyger threw money at this organization like it was water and the organization’s focus changed.  Last Spring, Harris’ not-for-profit took took 15 kids and 4 adults on a cruise. Who paid for that? The news said the group raised $6500 through fundraising. But a week long cruise for 20 people cost more than $6500 – so did our tax money foot the bill for that?  

 

Comptroller Scott Stringer had no documents to show for CIGG. He obviously isn’t the watchdog he thinks he is!  How is possible that the Comptroller can’t tell us how these funds were used? I work for the City and they give me $122 which I had to provide receipts and an itemized list.  Yes all that for $122. This is thousands of dollars that no one needs to account for. It appears that 503c’s (not-for-profits) might be a black hole for money to fall into without accountability in NYC.

 

Councilman Mark Treyger should have posted a file showing  receipts and cancelled checks to show the money was used appropriately this year. But now we know he can’t!  Because if he did that would show that Harris lied about receiving the rent money. 

 

Before you think Treyger was a good guy covering for Harris, get the whole story. NYC Council just posted the discretionary money for 2017 and Treyger gave more money to the organization even though Pam Harris’ home address remains on organization. Treyger knows he is giving money to an Assemblywoman who is not suppose to have monetary ties to a not-for-profit.

 

Page 40 of the document shows $20,000 going to the Coney Island Generation Gap.

 

councilman mark treyger money pam harris organization

 

Page 317 of the same document shows another $28,000 going to the Coney Island Generation Gap.  If you scroll in the description says that the funds will be used to offset the costs of a youth program in Coney Island, including but not limited to the purchase of studio equipment, space rental fees and other operating expenses.

 

mark treyger cant handle money

 

Melissa Mark Vivierto saw the issue of the not-for-profit in Harris’ home weeks ago and still allowed the money to be given to the Coney Island Generation Gap this month.  Mark-Vivierto either doesn’t care or thinks no one will notice. I asked Melissa Mark Vivierto to provide documentation for the organization and she had nothing to show either. The admin for the financial office said they were looking into it and it’s a week later and they didn’t call me back.

I tweeted the issue to Melissa Mark Vivierto, but she didn’t answer.

 

CORRUPTION – it requires a lot of people to cover it up. 

 

Disclaimer: I don’t represent any politician or group. I represent myself, my family and my neighbors who are being taxed like crazy on our homes. We voted for Pamela Harris and she has shown that she is an unreliable politician. I do not know personally know Harris’ competitor. I have never spoken to her or met her. I follow her and most Brooklyn pols on social media.

Is Councilman Carlos Menchaca A Coward?

 

carlos menchaca councilman carlos menchaca brooklyn sunset park
 

 

At the beginning of July, there  was an incident outside the mosque on 53rd and 3rd Avenue in Brooklyn. Muslim teens said they were attacked by man. The man contends these the teens were harassing his fiance.

 

 

 

 

 

Initially everyone was calling it a hate crime. I wrote about it on both Twitter and here because it was released to looked like a hate crime.  We were shown a video where teens were attacked. We were all shocked because no one wants anyone in their community to be picked on for their religion. Christopher Vallaro, the attacker seen in the video was labeled a Muslim hater. 

 

carlos menchaca muslim sunset park

 

 

YET COUNCILMAN CARLOS MENCHACA OF SUNSET PARK  DIDN’T SAY OR DO ANYTHING.

There’s no mention of the incident on his twitter or his Facebook wall.  Why hasn’t Menchaca called for the whole video to be released? Why hasn’t Carlos Menchaca addressed the issue with the community? The men from the mosque stormed the next neighborhood (Bay Ridge) with the police from Sunset Park because they were so angry that they weren’t being heard!

 

carlo menchaca muslim march
Update: The protest was planned and The Islamic Society of Bay Ridge (6805 – 5th Avenue) was the group protesting.  If the event happened in Sunset Park, why did they bring the protest to Bay Ridge?

From Here

The NYPD announced that it wasn’t a hate crime. After seeing the teens bruised faces and people thought, “wow the system is rigged.”  The Muslim community urged people to contact their lawmakers to ask them to have the situation reviewed as a hate crime.

 

Something isn’t right here.  

 

When I looked up the address of the mosque and saw Carlos Menchaca was the Councilman, I realized why nothing was being done. I thought Menchaca was retiring. BUT ON 7/30 pictures were posted that he was running for re-election. REALLY?

 

HOW IS MENCHACA RUNNING FOR OFFICE AGAIN WHEN HE HASN’T DONE ANYTHING TO STOP THE HATE?

 

carlos menchaca hate
 

Ironically, no one in Brooklyn has called on Councilman Menchaca to do something about this!  It’s like they know Menchaca isn’t going to do anything so they don’t even say his name. In Bay Ridge, if a garbage can rolls into the street, people want to call Councilman Gentile – an over exaggeration of course, but people say they will call Gentile for every little thing that happens in Bay Ridge. To see Councilman Menchaca completely ignore the issue and the community accepting that he isn’t doing ANYTHING is strange!

 

While Menchaca was silent,  Assemblyman Felix Ortiz posted a message on Facebook:

 

 

felix ortiz muslim hate
 

 

Public Advocate Leticia James issued this: 

 

letitica james hate crime
There is hate in the Sunset Park community.  It’s either hate towards Muslims or hate towards women. Let’s get the tape and see the entire situation. I installed a security camera when I moved to Bay Ridge, but I also had one at my rental which we installed over 20 years ago. It had sound as well. I don’t know if the one near the Mosque has sound, but I would think it does since it has night vision.  Some reports say that nothing was said and some say that the word terrorist was shouted.

 

 

The news came with more information about the crime later. The teens approached the car with the woman in it. One story  indicated that the teens thought they were speaking to a prostitute. Even if the teens thought the woman was a prostitute, why would they go and speak to her? If the teens thought this woman was a prostitute, were they speaking respectfully to her?  In some articles even stated that the boys reached into the car.  Why not release the tape to the public and let us see what happened five or ten minutes before the situation started.  Muslim leaders could show that the teens were not harassing the woman. If there are prostitutes in that area – then that is another issue that Councilman Menchaca needs to deal with.

 

Then I saw the video of one of the teens, Ahmed Emrech.  I watched the video several times because Ahmed didn’t mention the woman at all. Actually Ahmed says the man either doesn’t like Muslims or is a Trump fan. Ahmed’s brother, Yousef says his brother was attacked for no reason. He actually blamed the situation on a personal vendetta on Muslims. 

 

 

 

 

carlos menchaca muslim brooklyn

 

 

 

 

If I was in car and some young men came up to my car at that time in the morning (1:00 AM),  I know I would be yelling for Lee on my cell phone. In Brooklyn, men don’t approach cars and speak to women unless there is an emergency. I would think it would be too bold of a move for these two teens to be reaching into the car…..Let’s see the tape.

 

 

 

 

Even if the video shows that the teens instigated the situation, I in no way support the view that the teens deserved to be assaulted – the NYPD had charged Vallaro with assault.  However, I do think that Brooklyn people are very passionate towards those they love and I could understand his anger if the tape shows that the teens were messing with his fiance. 

 

Why haven’t any any leaders  asked for the full video to be released to show the truth? 

 

If Carlos Menchaca isn’t addressing the issue of Muslim hate or hate towards  women, then why is he in office?

 

 

Why does this matter?   I’ve lived in the area all my life and people of all nationalities and religions have always gotten along.  Most people in Bay Ridge like their neighbors and have good friendships with them.  This incident happened in Sunset Park, but the 72nd Precinct allowed  a group to  storm Bay Ridge  even though the incident didn’t happen here.  The 72nd Precinct who declared it wasn’t a hate crime led the group into Bay Ridge because some media revealed the Golden endorsed Trump. Golden has not endorsed Trump yet (Congressman Dan Donovan DID so the 72nd Precinct should have taken the group to storm Donovan in Staten Island) OR MAYBE STORM CARLOS MENCHACA’S OFFICE FOR DOING NOTHING! If there is hate in Sunset Park towards Muslims or women, then Carlos Menchaca should be handling the situation and I haven’t seen him say or do anything.

 

 

On March 13th, the photos of a man who sexually assaulted a woman on 50th Street in Sunset Park were released. Everyone in Sunset Park and Bay Ridge shared the photos. Yet, Councilman Carlos Menchaca did not share the story or the photos. Menchaca was silent.

 

When it’s a hate crime – declare it. If it isn’t a hate crime and just simply a men acting inappropriately, it’s okay to say that as well.

 

Finally, why did the 72nd Precinct ignore the call for protection near the Muslim holiday? These are questions that Carlos Menchaca needed to clear up for his community.

 

mosque no protection carlos menchaca
 

Why didn’t Menchaca do SOMETHING?  Either Menchaca doesn’t care or he is too much of a coward to deal with the issue with the community. The Councilman has been called out for lack of response before (here & here). It’s obvious to me that Menchaca believes leadership is dancing  and posting pictures to Instagram

 

Leadership in Brooklyn is hard work and since the salary of a Councilperson increased this year, the people in Sunset Park are clearly being denied leadership!  Councilman Menchaca needs to get the entire tape of the situation, post it online and deal with the issues in the community (hate towards Muslims or women and prostitution if that is also an issue).

Question to the Blog…..Are You Supporting Trump?

 

Interesting question…..the answer is simple – I can’t support Trump.

 

Trump hates immigrants.  My grandfathers were immigrants. These men chose America for my family and I understand that it’s my job to keep America the same way for other men who want to be like my grandfathers. You can choose to say, “Well these people are different.”  I assure you, my grandfathers had the same belief as these men – “America will be better.” 

 

Didn’t you guys hear the Pope? His message was clear, “take care of immigrants.”

 

Trump didn’t make his own money. He took his family’s money and built from that.

 

Trump didn’t pay his bills and didn’t pay people who did work on his buildings.

 

Voting for a reality television star doesn’t appeal to me.

 

And you don’t hear me saying vibrantly, “I’m with her either.”
I wish I could say that, “I’m with her” but I don’t feel that either.  I am watching and listening.

 

I’ve voted for unpopular candidates before. I am aware the winning candidate doesn’t always understand the message, but after an election everyone looks to see how many people voted against the winner.

 

By November, a choice will be clear.

Councilman Mark Treyger Fails to Do His Job

mark treyger councilman fails to do his job
 

Although we live in Bay Ridge, my family has a business at the end of Gravesend in Councilman Mark Treyger’s  area. In June, I drove up to the shop and noticed that the street sign had been hit pretty bad by a tall truck (someone must have used the driveway to backup and went too far).  A tall kid could grab on to it and swing from it.

 

We reported it to 311 online.

 

councilman mark treyger coney island

 

 

About 10 days after, the DOT responded that they fixed the sign and sent us an e-mail. 

 

 

In mid-July, I stopped by the shop and the sign was still really bent – less than before, but still bent (straight up is 90 degrees, it was bent by the truck to like 140 degrees – the city repaired it to a 115 degree angle). Basically someone from the city came and pushed the sign up a bit, but it was still bent.  I went back to 311 online and re-reported it.

 

 

I shouldn’t have to do that.  Mark Treyger has a staff of people who should be monitoring the area and checking that 311 calls have been handled. 

 

Yesterday we received this:

 

mark treyger fails to handle problems in his district

 

 

311 sends their records to City Council so Mark Treyger should have rode around his district or had someone on his staff do so,  instead of filing stupid complaints and  seeking another position out of his area, maybe people will be satisfied with the job he was doing.  From 311’s site: 

 

 

city council gets 311 calls mark treyger fails

 

 

There’s no point in Treyger being a Councilman if he isn’t going to take care of the area. Last month, Treyger gave a press release to newspapers that signs in his area were old instead of reporting them to 311 to be replaced. Get out of the office or do your job Mark Treyger.

Treyger’s Hot Air Fails to Cool Schools in His District

 

A new t-shirt for hot air blowing Councilman Treyger!

 

 

mark treyger tshirt for blowing hot air conditioning brooklyn
 

Mark Treyger gave a press release out stating that he wrote a letter asking Comptroller Scott Stringer to cover the cost of air conditioning in NYC schools. Yes, a website actually wrote about Treyger sending an e-mail to Stringer because this is how low politics has gone.

 

NYC Council released their spending for 2016-2017.  Treyger could have given money to schools in Coney Island for air conditioners, but he didn’t. Instead Treyger  gave more money to the not-for-profit in Assemblywoman Pam Harris’ home.  Treyger has been a Councilman since 2013 and students in his district have had to sit through testing for years without Treyger stepping up and offering air conditioning.

 

While I wish this was a real move on a politician’s part, calling for air conditioners when it is nearly Fall is just a “playing politics.”  Although it is hot now at the end of August, in September air conditioning is used in the first and second weeks of school only. Fall weather hits NYC quickly and air conditioning isn’t needed much in September.

 

If Treyger spoke up about air conditioning in March or April, we would know he was authentic. 

 

Treyger must have already discussed this with Stringer. I predict cronyism will be strong at play  when Stringer comes out and announces Airconditioning for Testing Classrooms. Hint to the Politicians: Clear things about school with Carmen Farina because most schools in NYC are air conditioned now. The ones that aren’t have weaker PTAs or cheap politicians (NOT) working for them

City Council Fails to Provide for Accountability in Brooklyn

 After contacting NYC Council and Melissa Mark Vivierto, I made them a new banner. It was either that or “I contacted NYC Council and  I wished I  poked myself in the eye instead.”

 

nyc council real message
 

 

The NY Post wrote this article about a not-for-profit that is being run out of Assemblywoman Pamela Harris’ home.  Money is easy to explain because there has to be receipts so I was waiting to hear from Assemblywoman Pam Harris.

 

A week after the article came out,  Harris and Treyger held a quiet meeting for some members of the media (it wasn’t shared on social media). I figured they waited so long because Harris had to get her accounting information together. At the press conference, Harris stated the not-for-profit is still at her home, but she is not collecting rent money. Harris said that her neighbor rents space to the Coney Island Generational Gap. 

 

Then Harris threw up a smoke screen. And we all know where there is smoke – there’s fire.

 

While Harris was supposed to justify the spending of the not-for-profit, she appealed to people’s emotions and stated that her kids were questioning why their group was in the news. There was no reason to share that as Harris and Treyger could have easily explained to the kids that they messed up.

 

When a mistake happens like this in government, all elected representatives should be presenting their paperwork without constituents asking for it. 

 

Councilman Mark Treyger should have stepped in and corrected the mistake by providing a detailed list of funding and cancelled checks on who received the money for rent and from the not-for-profit in Harris’ home. Treyger could have shown Harris’ neighbor received the money for rent/maintenance. BUT HE DIDN’T and he responded like a typical pol.  Councilman Treyger  accepted no responsibility for not handling his job properly and threw the blame away from himself:

 

 

treyger not-for-profit

 

 

Treyger is paid $145,000 to handle the money and now he wants other people to do the job.  If he can’t account for less than $100,000 what is he doing in office?

 

Further, Mark Treyger was  a teacher so he knows there are plenty of groups who could have used that money and when he saw that Harris’ successor was unable to take the reigns, he should have given the money to another group who could work with these teens.

 

If you look at the Coney Island Generation Gap’s  activities online, it’s clear it was running events and being productive over the years through 2014. When the city’s funding drastically increased,  it seems the group’s focus changed as well. In the Spring of 2015, Harris took 15 children and four adults on an eight day cruise to Jamaica, the Cayman Island and Mexico. As an educator, I think taking a group of teens who have never been out of NYC on an educational trip to Washington might have been beneficial. Providing the teens a cruise ticket sounds excessive to me. The group raised $6,500 through fundraising, but where did the rest of the money come from? (2015 tax return is not up yet).

 

 In 2016, the Coney Island Generation Gap received this money from the city and  money from Treyger is listed here as well 

 

The 2017 budget has already been posted and Treyger has set aside $48,500 to the Coney Island Generation Gap again even though the address on the record was not changed (see below).  Why is NYC Council allowing Mark Treyger  to continue to fund a not-for-profit in the Assemblywoman’s home? 

 

 

coney island generation gap 2017

 

 

 

 

Most of the time we are all too busy to check into these things even though we know something isn’t right. And the people who are running NYC know that we are busy so they are hoping that we will ask and then just forget about it. 

 

Attempts at Trying to Get Information from NYC Council:

 

1. July 18th – I called the NYC Council and they transferred me to the NYC Finance Department. I left a detailed message for the admin and she didn’t call back.

 

2. Next I contacted NYC Council and Melissa Mark Vivierto on Twitter. Although my request was clear, the city council account responded with a link to buy time. I explained my request again. BTW,  Melissa Mark Vivierto and NYC Council should have had this report ready to go as The NY Post covered this story on July 9th. The NYC Council Twitter site is busy retweeting Melissa Mark Vivierto and posting nonsense like this.

 

3. July 20th – I called back the City Council office and asked to speak to the head of the Finance Department. I got the admin and left my number.  Strangely, the admin called me back and said her boss is looking into it.  I asked if they had a report or receipts – she said no.  I asked when would I hear back and the admin repeated that her boss is looking in to it. Now usually when you call and ask for help, they will say we will call you back tomorrow or by the end of the week. No not this office, they just play shoefly with people.  

 

 

Why can’t the head of the Finance Department just pull the records? Either they don’t have any or they don’t want me to have them.  It’s sad there are many employees working in this finance department and they can’t produce records.

 

 

Today,  July 21st – I filled out a FOIL request. I didn’t even know this existed. I don’t think I will hear back as Scott Stringer is good friends with Mark Treyger.  Melissa Mark Vivierto should be embarrassed of  office she is heading. If a person asks NYC Council for documents, they should be willing to provide them.

 

 

The truth is out there – but NYC Council isn’t going to share it because SOMETHING JUST ISN’T RIGHT HERE.

He’s Talking To You Mark Treyger, Just in Case You Missed It.

The below letter is in the Courier Life’s Brooklyn Daily Letters to the Editor on July 17th.  It’s clearly about Councilman Mark Treyger even though the author is being polite. I am glad that other people are noticing a problem with Treyger’s leadership and #PlayingPolitcs in Coney Island.

 

I am copying Michael Owen’s letter here just in case some people  missed it.

 

 

Grandma’s wisdom

To the editor,

I was raised by my grandmother. One of the earliest lessons she taught me was that you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. If only some of these southwestern Brooklyn pols had been taught the same lesson!

Because I don’t want to risk diluting the point I am trying to make, I will leave anonymous the names of the current office holders I am condemning. If only because I don’t want people to think I am only writing because I have an ax to grind with someone. To make my point, however, I must mention a former pol no longer in office: Domenic M. Recchia, Jr.

Recchia represented Coney Island with dignity in the City Council, first as chairman of the cultural affairs committee and later as chairman of the powerful council finance committee, back when Mike Bloomberg was mayor and Chris Quinn was the council speaker.

Did Recchia agree with Mayor Bloomberg and Speaker Quinn on every single issue? Most certainly not, but he was a smart politician and he knew it was more important to put the interests and welfare of his taxpaying constituents before his own self-interest and self-righteousness. It meant he had to hold his nose here and there, but it also meant he was able to build a great working relationship with the mayor and speaker.

Thanks to that strategic relationship, Coney Island prospered for many years. In fact, many of the large projects coming to bloom now are thanks to Recchia and his partnerships with Mayor Bloomberg and others.

Kings Country Politics – News Needs to Be Correct

If you post about politics in Bay Ridge and your writing is not accurate, I will ask you to update it.  If you want people in Brooklyn to respect your writing, then you will probably correct it.  

 

Last week The NY Post revealed that Assemblywoman Pam Harris maintains a strange connection to the not-for-profit, The Coney Island Generation Gap.  King Country Politics posted an op-ed about Pam Harris where KCP defended Harris.  No one is questioning Harris’ work with the not-for-profit. We wouldn’t have voted for her if that was the question.  We don’t need a smoke screen by Harris complaining that the kids are questioning why their group is mentioned in the news. (Politicians should have explained that they messed up).   The question now is:  Why haven’t cancelled checks been shown yet?  This is easy to prove and someone who has been around as long as KCP should have mentioned that already.  

 

In September 2015, Kings County Politics  wrote that Harris opened an office in Bay Ridge.  It’s obvious that Kings Country Politics didn’t do their homework and just printed a press release  from Harris. In April, we went to office when we needed help and the store front was still an old store for Middle Eastern clothing.  When I discovered there was no office, I posted pictures online (zoom in and you will see the pics on the door still).    I contacted Kings Country Politics both privately and then publicly.  On May 16th, Harris was in the papers (see here) for opening an office in Bay Ridge. Kings County Politics has yet to retract the mistake and yesterday KCP tweeted this to me:

 

 

kings country politics 99

 

The mistake still remains even though KCP wrote this:

 

kings country politics lies

 

kings country politics lies to us

 

 

Stephen Witt blocked me and then asked my name.  Stephen, learn about social media….once you block someone they can’t see what you wrote unless they log out and look at your feed. I didn’t have the time to do that until I woke at 3:00 am this morning.

 

 

kings country politics 2

 

Hate? This guy must get a lot of hate mail as why would someone asking him to report things honestly make him think they hate him. 

 

 

Witt should be looking at the paperwork for Harris’ office. If the Bay Ridge office was open, why would Harris have no staff working in the Bay Ridge office? This is May 18th’s payroll list:

 

 

pam harris

 

Ironically, King County Politics posted the wrong twitter account for Pam Harris. KCP doesn’t know Pam Harris hasn’t used that Twitter account since March. In July, Harris’ staff started tweeting under this account.  I guess KCP doesn’t expect much from Harris so they didn’t notice there was no tweets for several months.

 

 

Disclaimer:  Steven Witt isn’t a fan of mine.  I have been writing online under the name Queen of the Click for more than 10 years. While Steven Witt was a big fan of Bruce Ratner’s, I was not.  My family’s property was threatened by eminent domain and we  strongly supported the home owners whose homes were threatened in the Atlantic Yards.  I always commented on Witt’s articles because he left people in Downtown hopeless.  In 2013, the Daily News reported  that Bruce Ratner’s sister published Steven Witt’s book.  This didn’t surprise us at all as in 2006, a paper reported that Witt hugged Ratner.

Top Democrat Nods at Chris McCreight

Yesterday, Councilman Vincent Gentile endorsed Chris McCreight for District Leader. Did you hear the cheering in Bay Ridge?

 

mark treyger chris mccreight
 

 

 

I didn’t think Councilman Gentile would endorse McCreight because Gentile works on City Council with  Mark Treyger. That says A LOT.   Vinnie lives here with us and he knows McCreight is the right one for the positon. McCreight has been speaking out against corruption for years and I wish he would run for a higher office.

 

 

chris mccreight bay ridge

 

 

I didn’t know what a district leader was until it was announced that Mark Treyger planned to move AGAIN to become the District Leader of Bay Ridge.  Treyger  moved in 2013 from Bath Beach to his current home, so he could run for the Gravesend/Coney Island City Council position.  Even if you aren’t a democrat, you should be concerned with who the district leader is in your area. Why? Because the district leader helps chose people who will run in the upcoming elections in your area. (Cool job, but there is no salary for this position). 

 

 

Treyger is the type of politician we don’t need in Bay Ridge! This Winter, Mark Treyger allowed a property owner in Coney Island to be intimidated by the city and he blamed past politicians for allowing the plan.  Treyger could stood up to the City, but he didn’t because he is a weak man. Mark Treyger accepts no responsibility for anything that is happening in Coney Island, unless it is a picture-taking moment.

This weekend Treyger and Pam Harris brought a case of a water to the sanitation department and took a picture of themselves to post on social media!  Playing Politics – SMH.  

 

 

When the news came out that Vinnie Gentile endorsed Chris McCreight, Treyger trashed Gentile to an online publication.  Wait…..Treyger wants to represent Bay Ridge and he just trashed a top Democrat?! Recently,  Treyger posted pictures with Gentile on social media to make us think that he was with Gentile/BayRidge – Treyger is such a phony!

 

 

Congratulations Chris McCreight!  A nod from the top democrat in the area says you are the one!
