While Other State Representatives Are Fighting Against the $600 Million Stadium, Andrew Gounardes is in Brooklyn Taking More Photos
This morning on social media, NYS politicians are complaining about the long hours they worked in Albany fighting against the budget.
The NYS Finance Committee worked until 3:15 am. Andrew Gounardes is a member of the Finance Committee, but he wasn’t in Albany at the meeting to work at the budget. (See here)
Other politicians tweeted about working until 5:00 AM this morning.
Many Assembly members worked until 7:50 am. (Updated)
Senator Meyer was at the capitol at 8:30 pm last night still working. Why wasn’t Andrew Gounardes?

Where are our state representatives?
1) Senator Gounardes was taking photos in Leif Ericson Park in Brooklyn on Friday night. Brannan was atthe park, so it wasn’t necessary for Gounardes to be there – except to campaign for himself! (More photos here)
Events haven’t been done in our community for a long time due to the pandemic.

The state budget passed at 9:30 am today, Saturday morning (minutes ago) so Gounardes should have been in Albany fighting!

2) Frontus wrote yesterday that she was in Albany at the conference for NYS Black, Puerto Rican, Hispanic and Asian Legislators. On Saturday evening, Frontus said she voted against the stadium:
I asked Dr. Frontus for help this year (after Karen Diaz’ death on the Gowanas I asked her to increase penalties against drunk drivers (See here) and help to freeze our property taxes.
We saw no new bills. Today she is sponsoring this workshop:
3) Tannousis did not mention the stadium or the budget. He said earlier in the week, he spoke out against bail reform. That’s great because he was the only one from our area against this bail system.

Don’t Use the Mailboxes Outside the Post Office on 5th Avenue and 88th Street To Send Checks
Joe shared the photo above to give everyone in the community a heads up about the mailboxes outside the Post Office on 5th Avenue and 88th Street in Bay Ridge. The NYPD is investigating, but the mailbox theft has been going on for years.
Don’t mail your checks/bills from this mailbox.
Thieves search for checks. Then they wash the check and issue it again.

Why Didn’t Politicians and the Police Tell Bay Ridge That a 48 Year Old Man Was Beaten at The 86th Street Station Nearly a Month Ago?
Politicians in Bay Ridge don’t think it is their job to share information with residents.
The 68th Precinct has the ability to share information with the community, but they don’t.
On Wednesday, March 9th, a 48-year-old man was beaten inside the 86th Station while he was using the Metrocard Machine at 6:30 pm . The man was punched and kicked in the head and body. His cell phone was taken. (Source)
We are glad our neighbor is still alive. I wonder if he is staying in Bay Ridge?
On March 15th, Captain Tolson held the meeting at the precinct and didn’t bother telling the community that this violent assault happened to one of our neighbors. Why? Because Captain Tolson doesn’t live here.
Instead of speaking about crime in Bay Ridge, Captain Tolson talked about crime being down. (YES, he did.) Then Andrew Gounardes started talking and the Captain never spoke about what crime was up…..he certainly didn’t tell us that a man in our community was beaten! At that point, Gounardes should have told the community about the assault, but he didn’t!
There is a $3000 reward:
