Senator Gounardes is Not On The Smokeout Act to Get Rid of Illegal Cannabis Shops
At the Community Board meeting, Senator Andrew Gounardes acted as if he was against the illegal cannabis shops that have set up in Bay Ridge.
Andrew Gounardes is not on the bill to shut down the illegal smoke shops. (See the Bill) The bill was introduced into the NYS Senate in January, so Gounardes had plenty of time to sign on to it!
Why is Andrew Gounardes not on this bill? We think it is because there are no lobbyists pushing the SmokeOut Act.
Mayor Adams supports the Smokeout Act, but Andrew Gounardes was not present to back the bill with the mayor.
I was thrilled to join @nycmayor at Gracie Mansion where he endorsed my #SMOKEOUTAct to close all illegal smokeshops this year! Civic leaders from across the City joined in their support! ? pic.twitter.com/8yJZTU5kxx

Last year, the 68th Precinct Captain announced that there were over 25 illegal shops in our area. That happened because Andrew Gounardes voted to legalize cannabis, without making sure that the background work was done.
Our community is stuck with these shops, Gounardes has not taken action! Who is happy about this? (See here)
How much have car accidents in our area increased since these shops set up in Bay Ridge? When marijuana was legalized, Senator Gounardes said that there was a saliva test for the police to give to drivers. There is no saliva test being used by the police in NYC to test for marijuana.

February 20, 2024The R Train at 95th Street in Bay Ridge 2/20/24
This morning, the first two cars of the R train were packed with Brooklynites, who are in urgent need of help.
Senator Andrew Gounardes and Councilman Justin Brannan don’t think these people need help. The homeless on the train has been reported to them many times, yet the politicians don’t do anything. Why are they not meeting the NYC Homeless teams and making sure these men get help?
