Chris Marte Should Not Be a City Councilmember
In February, Councilman Chris Marte’s aide used vulgar language to a female journalist and spoke inappropriately about two Asian female leaders. (See here)
In all these weeks, the aide or Councilman Chris Marte never apologized to the women. Marte should have accepted responsibility by now.
This morning Lester Chang tweeted and shared the translated message here (CAUTION: vulgar language):
Today Marte’s aide finally resigned. (Newspaper story)
Councilman Chris Marte at first said he couldn’t do anything, but wished he could. (Info here) But then Marte changed his tune and said what was said was not unforgiveable. (Info here) Someone who doesn’t know what’s appropriate should not be a council representative.
I was surprised that Councilman Justin Brannan didn’t speak up. #Silent
Now so surprising, Senator Andrew Gounardes and Senator
Iwen Chu were both silent about the vulgar aide. Gounardes never speaks up when Democrats do the wrong thing – he’s too afraid to speak out against his party. Sadly, Iwen Chu is also meek didn’t take an opportunity to speak our! #Silent.
Why didn’t Speaker Adrianne Adams fire Marte’s aide?
When Marte was unable to do the right thing, Speaker Adams should have.
Chris Marte should have called the women and apologized by now, but he hasn’t.

Assemblyman Tannousis Said The New Budget Increases Taxes and Does Not Address Crime
Assemblyman Mike Tannousis said he voted against the budget that Senator Gounardes is hailing.
Tannousis said that the new budget will increase taxes. Gounardes has not spoken up about property taxes for years!
Tannousis also said the new budget does not address the increase in crime. Listen here:
The Assembly considered the one-house budget bill this week which would increase taxes and did not address our increase in crime.? pic.twitter.com/7qQT5c2ol7

Starbucks on Bay Ridge Pkwy is Closed for Renovations
Many Ridgites were sad to see that they weren’t able to use the app to put an order for their favorite drink at the Starbucks on Bay Ridge Pkwy.
This Starbucks was closed and then the following day. people saw the store had a green wooden fence around it.
Starbucks posted in their window that they are closed from March 15th to April 27th for renovations.
Starbucks lovers will need to use the 86th Street and 5th Avenue store or the Starbucks on 3rd Avenue and 92nd Street.

Happy St. Paddy’s Day Bay Ridge
Happy St. Patrick’s Day Bay Ridge!
I snapped the photo above of one of Bay Ridge Rock’s Shamrock Shells – very cute and also smart to use shells! I didn’t take it because I know someone else will be excited to “find” it.
St. Patrick’s Day on a Friday is awesome! Everyone have a wonderful St. Paddy’s Day in Bay Ridge!

Smoke Shop/Deli Closed on 4th Ave/95th Street
95 Smoke Shop, Deli and Juice Bar was shut down today because it was operating illegally.
As you know this shop is across the street from St. Patrick’s Church and that makes it close enough to St. Patrick’s School.
No one spoke or wrote about what this business was doing illegally, but if there was leadership in this community, someone would have spoken up and told the community this afternoon.
Bay Ridge, elect better leaders.

The building sold last Spring for $1,880,000. (Info)
Now the office space is for rent.
All this metal was on 3rd Avenue today:

Councilwoman Inna Venikov formed Asian Community Watch to help residents in her community in Brooklyn feel safe.
Sadly not much has been done to stop the hate towards Asians and make people feel more comfortable in their community.
It’s nice to see this group organizing and being present for their neighbors.
