Brannan Wants Ticket Fines Tied to Your Income

Justin Brannan received 16 tickets for speeding. (Source)
An elected official breaking the law should pay two times the ticket penalty when they are blatantly careless about the law. Just because we want to punish spoiled politicians, doesn’t mean that’s the law.
Brannan believes that if you are a business owner and you speed, then you should be charged more than a delivery man who speeds because he makes less money. (Story here)
Both men broke the law – they both get the same penalty.
It would be ridiculous for tickets to be tied to salary because some people know how to fudge their salary or they have special side deals.
Brannan doesn’t know what he is talking about because he plays both sides of the coin. See:
On Thursday, April 26th, Brannan wrote that fines are intended to deter crime and punish the offender. (See here)
But on April 23rd, Justin Brannan wrote this:
Ticket penalties can’t be tied to someone’s income. When did NYC become like this? When politicians, like Justin Brannan want to nickel and dime everyone!
If Brannan’s bill passes, progressives will want “the rich” to pay more for many things in including utilities, groceries, their homes and ;property taxes (oh yeah we already do that because the Democrats at the city and state level don’t think we should pay fair taxes).

CB 11 Meeting’s Are Better Than CB 10’s
Community Board 11 held a virtual meeting tonight on Zoom. This meeting did not discuss the 86th Street and 14th Avenue building – that meeting was supposed to be on May 4th, but they shared the information above that the application was withdrawn.
I thought CB 11’s meeting was going to be horrible because the Brooklyn Borough President’s staffer was there with his slide deck.
It’s no secret that lobbyists win with Antonio Reynoso, but it was actually informative. (See Brooklyn’s Plan here)
The meeting highlighted some problems that I never saw Community Board 10 talk about.
First up was the filthy air near Owl’s Head Wastewater Treatment Plant and Sunset Park.
Look at the map above – poor Sunset Park has a Particle Mass of 2.5, which means it is dangerous for people’s health!
Also Reynoso’s staffer said that they want to make parking for residents in Brooklyn. While Reynoso supports cyclists, he drives a car. (See here)
Reynoso’s staffer breezed by the waterfront issues. Pay attention here – there’s way too many people who are interested in Brooklyn’s waterfront AND Andrew Gounardes made a waterfront district for himself.
Finally, they discussed housing, but the 86th Street and 14th Avenue property was not spoken about. This might be why people think the housing fight is not over.
Marnee and Laurie know the problems of the community well – they both told Ethan from the Borough Presidents office that his presentation was not complete because it did not include the 800 to 1000 units coming to Cropsey Avenue (but none of them are affordable units). That has to be the development that Councilman Brannan was lobbied over. (See here)
Can you imagine that Justin Brannan did not include affordable units in the new buildings! All of those units and none of them have affordable apartments!
They discussed the sewer problems, as well as the overcrowded schools. Ethan didn’t say he was going to help or do anything after Marnee explained that the area smells like a treatment plant sometimes. Ross said that other communities need to have their fair share, as there are already existing problems in Community Board 11.

On May 18th, the Brooklyn Borough President is having a meeting about the plan for Brooklyn – information here.
