Around 12:10 pm today, a building at 1266 – 50th Street in Brooklyn collapsed and killed a 33-year-old construction worker. (Story) Work was being done on the first floor and this worker was in the cellar of the building. (Source)
The building had a stop work order. “The only work at the 50th Street home should have been “to make this site safe, as you can see, that stop work order was violated,” Department of Buildings Commissioner Jimmy Oddo said.” (Source)

Politicians Can’t Throw Tokens in Brooklyn During Black History Month – DO SOMETHING!
Senator Gounardes does not use social media well. He is either fighting with Republicans on X (formerly Twitter) or posting graphics to make it look like he did something, when he hasn’t done anything,except make the graphic.
Senator Gounardes has the ability to change the law and and make things equitable for people, but he has failed to do this for five years.
Gounardes is in Chair of the Budget and Revenue in the NYS Senator, so he should have been working on adjusting taxes, instead he started promoting Congestion Pricing. I believe he makes extra money heading this committee, but fails to act for New Yorkers.
In 2019, Gounardes met with political leaders from other areas of NYC and it looked like he was going to do something, but he didn’t do anything, except post a picture of their meeting. (Info here)
In New York City, Bay Ridge is not the only place where people are being overcharged in property taxes.
Every year, someone in NYC writes about how black home owners in NYC are being overcharged property taxes. (See here)
It’s 2024 – Why hasn’t anyone fixed the property tax system so black homeowners are not paying more to own a home? We have so many people who want to be state leaders, but they don’t believe in equity or taking action.
Why did Senator Gounardes make a “token graphic” for Black History month, instead of taking action for people?
Strangely, Senator Gounrades linked to an article about abolitionists homes in Brooklyn. One of those homes was owned by a black woman who fought NYC, as they tried to take her home by eminent domain!
Senator Gounardes represented a small part of Coney Island for years, but he didn’t take action to honor or promote the people there.
Now the new gerrymandered district has Gounardes posting a “token graphic” for Black History Month, instead of taking action. Property taxes favor rich white homeowners. (See here)
Equity means everyone pays their share – no property discounts. The property tax commission came back years ago with the rate, why did Andrew Gounardes fail to take action?
—————————————–
The Bay Ridge Democrats also posted a Black History Month graphic on X, but they shared they are going to honor some people, so let’s see what they do this month.
Politicans in Bay Ridge need to stop wasting time making and posting graphics – they aren’t helping anyone. Take action and use social media to promote the action.

Elect Leaders Who Care, Bay Ridge!
While our elected leaders, Councilman Brannan and Senator Gounardes play on social medial (See here and here), homeless people ride the R train into Bay Ridge and are not receiving help.
Local organizations are using our tax dollars, but not one of these organizations cares enough about giving these people the basic needs.

Protest at Councilman Brannan’s Office Today – Brannan’s Staffer Tried to Shame Protesters
Residents saw Councilman Brannan talking to the police outside the office up until fifteen minutes before the protest. Then Councilman Brannan disappeared.
Several Bay Ridge residents sent me pictures of a man photographing them at the protest. I recognized Justin Brannan’s staffer from Community Board 10 meetings.
The staffer is a community liaison. How can you be a community liason if you don’t understand people have the right to protest? Community Board 10 should not allow him to act as a liason because this is inappropriate.
The staffer returned to the office and thought he went unnoticed. He was boo’d by the protesters.
Here’s the sad part: This guy knows the residents in The Towers have not received any information about the homeless shelter from Justin Brannan. Brannan has not held any community meetings or sent information about the shelter through the mail. This is just mean.
A homeless shelter is being put up next to their home. Of course someone should have spoken to the residents there by now!
Some of the children living in The Towers will be walking past this Homeless Shelter to get to school. Of course adults in Bay Ridge are going to protest this!
Here’s where things got ugly….Justin Brannan went after the protesters and posted the photo his staffer took on X (formerly Twitter) while they were outside his office. (See here – it’s actually still up!)
The people who peacefully protested today should be proud of themselves for standing up for our community.
I believe many of the people living in The Towers are Democrats, but what if they aren’t? Why would the Councilman be so obsessed with calling anyone a Maga?
In flyers, Brannan says that he doesn’t care what party people belong to:

I guess that’s his way of dehumanizing someone because they called out his failure to communicate. People have the right to protest, even if Justin Brannan wants to act like a fascist and try to stop them.
Residents noted that the 68th Precinct had six police officers, three community affairs officers and a Captain at the protest.
Justin Brannan’s job isn’t to be a teenager and post resident’s picture on the social media to mock residents – it’s to provide residents with information.
Ironically, years ago, Justin Brannan and Chris McCreight spoke out against a politician who hid from protesters.
Why didn’t Democrat District Leader, Chris McCreight take the names of all the protesters and contact them one-by-on? McCreight knows these residents have received very little information about the homeless shelter!
