Chris McCreight Stayed Silent For Years – Now He is Fear Mongering
Chris McCreight. the Democrat District Leader for our area was the Chief of Staff to Justin Brannan. McCreight stayed silent for years as lobbyists had their way in our community. When a secret lobbyist scored at the Nathan’s school and another overpriced property, Chris McCreight didn’t say a word. He had no objections.
When Debrina Kawam was set on fire and killed in Coney Island, what did Chris McCreight do? We didn’t see him do anything. McCreight didn’t speak out for the woman or hold a prayer service for the community. McCreight didn’t speak out for public safety in Coney Island.
When Coney Island residents fought for their community, Chris McCreight was the guy in the back of the meeting laughing. While everyone in the room is serious because they are fighting against the casino, McCreight continuously checks his phone and laughs with Kayla. Why wasn’t he clapping and rooting on the people?
Today, McCreight sent out this nonsense. He hasn’t spoke up about the rising property taxes or when Justin Brannan carved his home out of the City of Yes, but today he cares about the cost of utilities:
McCreight wants Alec Brook-Krasny’s position. Brook-Krasny was the only politician who allowed a Coney Island resident to be on The Coney Island Advisory Committee for the Casino. He chose Marissa Solomon, who fought the casino with THE FACTS.
