Brannan’s Late To Help With Overdevelopment
Late. But late is better than never.
Years ago, when Justin Brannan first ran for office, I never imagined he wouldn’t help people. (Info)
It’s good that Councilman Brannan got around to writing a letter about the overdevelopment, but his support should have come a long time ago – before the people rallied. Brannan has a full staff and could have done this weeks ago.

No Justice for Phil Guarino – Died Last July
Last July, the body of 28-year-old Phil Guarino from Howard Beach was found outside a home on 72nd Street near Ft. Hamilton Parkway in Dyker Heights, Brooklyn.
It’s a year later and no one was arrested for Phil Guarino’s death.
Drugs were not the cause of Phil Guarino’s death. The medical examiner was not able to determine what caused Guarino’s death. Phil’s mother said a broken bone was found in her son’s neck. (Source)
The man who brought Guarino’s body to 72nd Street on a hand truck was wearing a white hoodie pulled up covering his face.
Prayers for Phil’s mother – he was her only child.
