Justin Brannan Did Not Rally for the NYPD Bill
Did you all hear that NYC Council failed to pass a bill? Apparently all bills get passed in NYC Council, yet no one is talking about it. (See story in City and State)
The bill was created to reward long-serving NY police officers with a pension deal.
The bill seemed reasonable. (See the bill)
Justin Brannan voted in favor of the bill, but he never mentioned it on social media. When Justin Brannan wants a bill to pass, he will continuously talk about it.
Here’s how the NYC Council voted:
SIXTEEN NYC COUNCIL CANDIDATES ABSTAINED FROM VOTING.
This bill won’t appear on Brannan’s social media for “upcoming bills,” press releases or newsletters.

RIP George Politis, Bay Ridge’s Cat Protector
I was sad to hear the news that George Politis, co-founder of Itty Bitty Cat Rescue in Bay Ridge died this morning.
George’s memorial will be held on June 9th from 10 am – 1pm at Clavin Funeral Home.
George trapped cats for TNR in South Brooklyn for many years. TNR stands for trap, neuter and release. A group of good people in Bay Ridge try to keep the community cats population under control by neutering them.
George even took the cats with felv.
George took care of community cats that no one was taking care of, and he helped these cats find homes.
I imagine George was welcomed at Heaven’s gate by all the cats he was kind to and all the cats he rescued.
There are eight cats at the Itty Bitty Cat Rescue that need fosters or to be adopted. You can see them here.
RIP George, South Brooklyn’s Cat Protector.
A Go Fund Me was set up – see here.

New Owners of the Outpatient Treatment Center on 77th Street in Bay Ridge
Donna Mae DePola, who owns The Resource Counseling Center of Bay Ridge at 408 – 77th Street was at the Community Board 10 virtual meeting this week. She talked about another company taking over the counseling business. This is an out patient treatment and counseling office, so this may be a concern to people living in that area.
Donna said that she was in business in Bay Ridge for eight years and the place hasn’t had any problems.
She said that during the pandemic, she worked virtually with patients, but they were not able to give people drug tests. A lot of people relapsed, since counseling works better in person.
De Paola looked for another management company and wanted to find someone who would continue to be discrete and not disrupt most neighbors. I think she appeared at the CB 10 meeting as a courtesy because she has the right to sell the business if she wants to.
De Paola found Seek Management and brought Charles, Marvin and Josh to talk with Community Board 10 because now Seek Management has taken over De Paola’s business. They said they were going to continue the business and maybe add more hours for patients.
Here’s the meeting:
