Brooklyn Showed Up To Support Lester Chang

The community stood outside of Peter Abbate’s office to let him know they support Lester Chang. Lester Won – Abbate’s Done.

People are hopeful because Abbate hasn’t helped them.

The Democrats have to look at their people at the Board of Elections – If Lester was not eligible for election, then he would not be on the ballot.

We saw Rodneyse’s staffer, Sabrina was removed from the ballot for not living in the area. Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn would have kicked Lester off the ballot if this was an issue.

Both the NY Post and the Daily News Editorial Boards have called for Lester Chang to be seated.

We Need Politicians Who Will Take Action For The People on the R Train Every Morning

These are pictures from the R train this morning. Day-after-day these people ride the subway for warmth and time to sleep. No one will help them.

In the Summer, politicians told us that these people would be receiving help because Gouardes was running for office and wanted your vote.

Yesterday’s Riders:

We wish there were less tweets and more politicians doing the work the public chose them to do.

The Sheriff Raided the 86th Street Tobacco Shop

My neighbor called me right before 10:00 pm tonight because Bay Ridge was on Fox News. The sheriff raided the Tobacco Shop at 554 – 86th Street. (See here)

The sheriff confiscated cigarettes that didn’t have the stamp.

And they also confiscated illegal vape products – on the news they said the illegal vape contains flavoring.

The sheriff also searched the store for hidden compartments where marijuana could be hidden.

The sheriff didn’t find any marijuana at this shop, but they found a lot of edibles at the Fort Hamilton Smoke Shop. (See here)

Fox News taped the sheriff as he and his team raided the Smoke Shop on Fort Hamilton Parkway and 45th Street in Borough Park, Brooklyn. They seized a lot of products there. (See News Story)

The store had edibles in bags that looked liked cereal packages that people would recognize. The real Lucky Charms is not spelled with a Z.

Instead of Packy Sticks, there were Packy Woods:

They had marijuana cigarettes in prescription containers.

And snack bags with edibles were being sold.

This store had not applied for a license to sell these products.

Ari Kagan is Expected to Challenge Brannan

Woot Woot! What good news!

NYC Council changed district lines. In the Summer, Bay Ridge started out with Staten Island. Bay Ridge Democrats complained and the district was moved to Bay Ridge and Sunset Park. Brannan could never beat Alexa Aviles.

Then the district was changed to this gerrymandered monster with one street connector for the monster’s head.

Ari Kagan was pushed out. Current elected leaders and district leaders in Brooklyn didn’t say anything. Chris McCreight and Tori Burhas were silent (as usual). (Story here)

Ari Kagan switched parties and will challenge Justin Brannan as a Republican. Ari Kagan and Mike Ragusa (his website) will have a primary. Bye bye Brannan!

Anyone who has backed Brannan in the past has no idea how many lobbyists projects he has pushed in the area. Please check before you endorse/support. It’s clear, we need a new representative.

Ari Kagan’s work has been impressing Brooklynites:

Chris McCreight and other Democrats were bitter about the news.

If McCreight spoke out against the gerrymandered district which overtook Ari Kagan’s district, this wouldn’t have made more divisions in the Democratic Party. (See here)

McCreight’s silence to preserve his position in Brannan’s office doesn’t work out well for Brooklyn.
