Malliotakis, Tannousis and Parents Get 120+ School Safety Agents for Schools
In November, Mayor Adams cut 250 school safety agents from the NYC Budget.
Congresswoman Malliotakis, Assemblyman Michael Tannousis and parents rallied right away to let the mayor know that safety agents are necessary and shouldn’t be cut. (See video)
Tomorrow, a new group of safety agents will start the 17-week training Friday (yes tomorrow)! (Source) Some websites say 120 agents are in this class, while other sources have 125, 135 & even 140 as the number of people hired. (Here)
Security checked the students and a dozen knives and other weapons were found. (Source) One student said: “I don’t feel safe. I feel like my life is in danger.” (Source)
It’s amazing that some organizations don’t realize that students don’t feel safe and are annoyed that Mayor Adams restored some safety agents.
“Nearly 7,000 weapons were confiscated in public schools last year, an almost 160% increase compared with the 2018-19 school year, according to data shared with reporters this Fall.” (Source)
John Ricottone, Vice President of District 20 Community Education Council was one of the parents who spoke at the Staten Island rally to get the safety agents restored.
Tonight, Ricottone spoke about school safety on the news. (See here) It’s great to see a District 20 parent leading!!

Two Men Beaten in Gravesend This Morning – One Man Dead
This morning around 4:30 am, two men returned to West 9th Street in Gravesend by car service or a ride-share service. (Story here) Some articles say the men are cousins – some say that the men are not related.
The men were beaten up and punched in the head. A resident called an ambulance and the men were brought to the hospital.
The 66-year-old man died. The 52-year-old is in critical condition at the hospital. Police are looking for the driver of the sedan.

Good News! Some Restaurant Shacks Were Removed From 3rd Avenue
While we were driving on 3rd Avenue tonight, we noticed that a lot of the restaurant shacks were removed. Those streets looked a lot better.
All of the restaurants should remove the outdoor shacks. They were necessary to the help restaurants during Covid. But the pandemic has been over for a long time and the restaurants should have removed them by now.
Many restaurant owners do not live in Bay Ridge. But there is a rat problem in the area and the restaurant owners should remove the shacks so real cleaning can be done.

Will CB 10 Approve These Cannabis Shops?
On Wednesday, December 13th, a Committee will discuss in a Zoom meeting if these four (or five – two of them have the same address) cannabis shops can legally operate.
CB 10 thinks they are volunteers, who are doing the community a service by approving weed shops!
Get ready for more accidents on the street! When Senator Andrew Gounardes voted in favor of legalizing weed, he was aware that the NYPD does not have any way to test if someone is high, like they have a breathalyzer test to check if someone is drunk.
One of these shops n selling illegally since June 2022.
