November 7, 2023Who Won the District 47 Election? Justin Brannan

Today, many residents in Dyker Heights didn’t know they were gerrymandered out of the area until they went to vote!

See street map of the new district
The news didn’t mention that the area was severely gerrymandered and Democrats were able to pick blocks of voters and exclude other blocks.

Graphic by The City – seen here
Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights used to be together (see above).
This is the shape of the new district that extends from Bay Ridge to Coney Island.

Tonight, Justin Brannan gave a victory speech at The Brooklyn Firefly. In his speech, Brannan lashed out at Brooklyn Kings County leader, Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn for being against him.

There were plenty of Democrats campaigning from out-of-the district this week, but the ones we spoke to didn’t know about the lobbyist projects in Bay Ridge.
The results 97% of the votes were counted – 9:50 pm:

11,148 votes for Brannan vs. 7,916 votes for Ari Kagan is where they finished counting tonight.
Steven shared this:

I’ve never seen politicians go as low as they did this election. I was surprised that Senator Andrew Gounardes was part of it. (See here)

November 7, 2023Parking Meter Prices Increase in Bay Ridge

Parking meters increased from $1.50 to $2 per hour today.
And it’s now $5 for two hours. Cue the ‘it’s only 50 cents’ reply. But it’s not about 50 cents.
And you might be thinking, “well it’s just a little more.” The reality is NYC is just nickel and diming everyone instead of cutting down on frivolous expenses.

November 7, 2023How Many Absentee Ballots in District 47?
1,926 Absentee Ballots

Of course District 47 had the most mail-in ballots.
But it also had 103 invalid ballots. If the election is close, all of those people will be called to (cure) fix their ballot.

November 5, 2023Can They Legally Do This in Our Election?

Update: This isn’t just a joke or a fake robocall. Our election is being manipulated.

The NY Post found that Jon Paul Lupo was behind the robocall stating there was a write-in candidate, when it has been clear there is no write-in candidate.

Lupo worked for DeBlasio (see here) and the caption under the photo says that Lupo is a Brannan pal.

Here’s the money raised by Verrazano Victory Alliance (From Here)

It’s mostly real estate developers donating the money to the organization. Sadly, two politicians as well!
Is it legal for someone to interfere in an election like this? Even Grubhub was involved in our election.
Bay Ridge there is no write-in candidate, but I am not sure we have a valid election any longer either.

November 4, 2023Hate Crimes are Up 600% in Bay Ridge

Crime rates are rising in Bay Ridge for robbery, assault and hate crimes.

Robberies are up 29% YTD, felony assault up 25%, and a lot of hate crimes – up 600%.
The NYPD and politician meetings are not working.
We need new leadership to make changes so that people get to know their neighbors better. The existing politicians are not doing anything about the hate.
