July 1, 2022Dead Rats in Bay Ridge – Dog Owners Beware!

Dead rats are better than live rats running on the street, right?
The rise in rats has to do with dirty streets. We’ve seen rats on 3rd Avenue running around near some of the restaurants where there is outside eating. The city isn’t able to clean because of the outside units.
One Bay Ridge resident sad that 4 dead rats were seen on 92nd Street

July 1, 2022Why Are Politicians Printing Postcards When People Are In Need of Basics?

I could understand if a politician was sending out events or important numbers in a community.
It’s weird that Brannan would send out a picture card when there are families in need.
The budget was done too fast and schools are sharing that they are losing their art teachers – that’s terrible. We were surprised Brannan didn’t update the budget to help those schools since he was interested in art programs awhile back.

July 1, 2022Tannousis: “Don’t Disarm Law Abiding Citizens”

Bay Ridge and Staten Island Assemblyman, Mike Tannousis said that violent criminals are not being held responsible for their actions.
Tannousis wants to make sure that law-abiding citizens’ rights aren’t infringed upon. Tannousis said he never saw an individual who had legally possessed a gun.
Play the video:
Instead of holding violent criminals accountable for their actions, they are more concerned w/ responsible citizens buying firearms. As a former prosecutor, I prosecuted a multitude of gun-related crimes. I never saw a defendant who was a lawful gun owner with a carry permit.? pic.twitter.com/nWP5KSPs1A
