The Progressive Caucus Wants to Reduce the NYPD…Brannan Steps Back

The Daily News has a story about the Progressives Caucus in NYC Council.

They made a Statement of Principles, which includes reducing the NYPD. (Story here)

The story says Councilman Brannan left the caucus.

LOL don’t let that fool you, Bay Ridge. A leopard can’t change his spots.

These Progressives allowed schools to be defunded because they rushed the budget and didn’t follow the procedures.

The beginning month of school was chaotic because the Progressive politicians didn’t care. Justin Brannan was the head of finance for NYC Council and he should have backtracked and done the right thing. But he didn’t do anything.

Progressives are working against NYC and against Mayor Adams.

For nine months some stores in our neighborhood have been illegally selling pot and not one Progressive politician spoke up about people breaking the law for nine months.

A Hate Crime Happened in Bay Ridge…And No One Mentioned It. Why Is It a Secret?

A hate crime happened in Bay Ridge last week.

Hate crimes is the last category on the Crime Stats. You can see this for yourself here – pull down Brooklyn South and then 68th Precinct.

Senator Gounardes and Councilman Brannan either don’t know a hate crime happened or they don’t want you to know.

We need leaders who aren’t afraid to talk about hate crimes and to deal with them. Pretending they didn’t happen, just makes matters worse.

*The Hate Crime percentage should show 100%, but they only show -100% on the 68th Precinct’s crimestats.

Lombardo’s Pizzeria is Changing Hands

Manny, the owner of Lombardo’s Pizzeria wrote this message:

I am grateful to each of our loyal customers. Some of you have become family to us, throughout the years. Family that has come to visit from our previous endeavors , following and believing in my product from the very beginning , years ago in Greenpoint.

I have been blessed with many accomplishments in the NYC culinary community. I cannot thank our customers enough for their support from day one, at Lombardo’s of Bay Ridge.

Losing my mom, this year has been very tough. I cherish every moment I had with her . She was always so proud that i owned and operated restaurants, from a young age, for the last 20 years.

Doing so has comes with hours and hours of dedication, away from home. She always told me she wanted me to spend more time with my own family …my beautiful wife and two sons.

Mom, you are right.

With a heavy heart, I am passing the Lombardo’s of BayRidge over to two very passionate foodies, to carry out the same product, everyone is used to.

I will be working with them the next few weeks, to ensure the ingredients and recipe are transitioned. Little Frankie’s will be opening in our place.

There would have never been a Lombardos of Bay Ridge without the amazing support and loyalty of this community…

I love and thank you all

~Manny .

Take care, Manny!

No One Is Working on Property Taxes – Just Taking Photos. It’s What You Elected.

Oh and Gounardes shared that his mother was in his office…for a LOBBY visit! SMH.

Andrew’s Mom is on Community Board 10. She voted for the school at Nathan’s. The City reported this. Neither Gounardes spoke out against that.

Family members of elected leaders should not be on Community Boards. It doesn’t matter that “it’s just advisory” – it matters that things have gone down, that shouldn’t have.

Everyone who reads this blog knows that Andrew Gounardes has never returned a phone call to me. I called his office multiple times – left messages on his machine and with several staff members. He emailed me a generic response once and pretended he didn’t know I called.
