Two on Scooter Critically Injured – 66th & 5th Avenue in Bay Ridge
Picture from Loudlabs Video here
Loudlabs shared a video taken after an accident on from Wednesday, June 14th. The video description says that a Subaru struck the moped on 5th Avenue and 66th Street in Bay Ridge. (See video)
Not one politician mentioned the accident or that people were hurt, so please do not say that any of them are street activists.
Hopefully the people on the scooter are okay. Prayers.

June 15, 2023Anna Belfiore-Delfaus With the Seniors at Prom!
It’s great to see Anna Belfiore-Delfaus at the NIA Senior Prom, which was held at Dyker Beach Golf Course this week.
Peter Abbate used to fund and attend this event, but now that he isn’t in office, it’s good that other politicians want to celebrate the seniors. I don’t recall seeing Republicans attend the prom and dance with the seniors.
Anna Belfiore-Delfaus is a special education teacher. While politicians argue about whether to have gifted education classes or not, Anna will be able to remind them that gifted education is part of special education. As a teacher, she can recommend how to make the admission process fair for everyone.
In April, I was impressed when Anna got up and spoke to the developers at the meeting for the oversized development on 86th Street. (Info here) She is an excellent speaker and passionate about Brooklyn. Anna spoke about the overcrowding in schools. Councilman Justin Brannan did not attend the meeting or send someone to speak on his behalf.

June 15, 2023Avery Pereira Spoke Out for Victim’s Rights
While NYS continues to make bills, like Clean Slate, Avery Pereira spoke about introducing the “Victims Bill of Rights” legislation. What a great idea to balance what is happening in NYS. Everyone feels terrible for the victims who are hearing that criminals who harmed them/or their families (in cases where people have been murdered) will be entitled to a Clean Slate if Kathy Hochul signs the legislation.
Avery also spoke out about parent’s right’s this week:

Caileigh Duggan peacefully died in her sleep, from an undiagnosed heart condition on Saturday on June 10th – she was only 18 years old.
Caileigh Duggan was involved in activities in Bay Ridge because she attended school in Bay Ridge – Visitation Elementary School and Fontbonne High School. The school has a picture on their fence. (See here) Her obituary – see here
Orange bows were hung all over Breezy Point, where the family lives because it’s Caileigh‘s school, the University of Tennessee’s school color. Friends of the family hung bows around Bay Ridge trees as well.
