February 15, 2023Upside-down Car on Belt Parkway Today
Mike Ragusa shared these photos of the car upside-down on the Belt Parkway this afternoon. Ragusa thanked the NYPD and the FDNY.
If you flip your car on the Belt Parkway, you should be arrested for speeding. The speed you need to go to flip a car has to be very high.
While I hope everyone in the car is alright, the amount of emergency response vehicles needed should be paid for by the person who was speeding.

February 14, 2023Grandma’s Love’s Book Vending Machine in SI
Tonight Grandma’s Love was on Channel 1 News!
Theresa Monteforte of Grandma’s Love put a book vending machine at Staten Island University Hospital for pediatric cancer patient. Theresa has been putting these machines in Brooklyn hospitals, as well.
Giving patients some joy and something to do while they are being treated is amazing and…..so thoughtful!
The vending machine can hold 250 books at a time.
This Winter, Lee got a chance to talk with Theresa. After speaking with her, he said to me, “I can see why you like her so much, she’s incredible.” Yes, she is because Theresa is an angel!

February 14, 2023Applause for the 68th Precinct – For Yesterday
When I saw the video of the police pursue the U-haul, I knew someone was seriously hurt because Deputy Inspector Tolson told us awhile back that the police will not pursue a criminal. They had to in this situation, so that no one else was hurt.
While the U-haul was speeding our neighborhood hurting people, the smart officers in the video belo realized children were outside outside Bay Ridge Prep. They raced there and had the children go inside.
PRESS PLAY:
Thank you Lieutenant Vitale, Officer Santini and Officer Ingebrethsen. These are officers who know this community and I am grateful for their quick-thinking!

In honor of #NationalDonorDay, NYC Council had Justin Brannan share how an organ donation has impacted his life.
Brannan’s already shared this story and the legislation in several papers last Spring (here, here and here), but Justin must not have anything to do, so walking around the neighborhood with a videographer seemed like a good idea to him. #ElectNewLeaders
Brannan’s glasses bill went nowhere since last March last year. (See here) Lobbyists bills move fast!
