March 22, 2022Lonestar
During the pandemic, Lonestar was bringing food to first responders.
They weren’t having an easy time then and they aren’t now. A lot of businesses received money to help them recover from the pandemic.
Say some prayers that things get straightened out for these owners.
Community Board 10 spoke about the issues.

March 21, 2022Pay-To-Play Politics is Alive and Well – Another Dentist Bill Makes It To the Senate Calendar

Andrew Gounardes is pushing another dentist bill and it has made it to the Senate calendar.


We have asked Gounardes for help for over three years now and he hasn’t done anything to help Bay Ridge home owners.
What’s driving these bills? Follow the money!


THIS IS PAY-TO-PLAY POLITICS.
Last April, Andrew accepted $5000 from this PAC:

We have seen Senator Gounardes pushing dentist bills before. (See here)
Why aren’t more journalists writing about this? This has been going on for years! (See here)
There are a lot of NYS Politicians who accepted money from the Empire Dental PAC. GO HERE.
TYPE: EMPIRE DENTAL PAC

I am so tired of Andrew Gounardes. He doesn’t represent this community.

March 21, 2022Monday Morning R Train Hotel in Bay Ridge
$3B+ of your taxpayer dollars goes to social services. Find a private corporation that spends $3B & gets negative results, & I’ll show you a long list of people who were fired & held accountable.
— Brian Sullivan (@BrianSullivan96) March 21, 2022
That’s not how it works with YOUR money
Great job @agounardes & @JustinBrannan! pic.twitter.com/TgYfliwsEg
The 95th Street station is the last stop.
Breaking Grounds social workers should be at this station in the morning helping these men get the services they need.
Andrew Gounardes is campaigning in the subway, but he refuses to help these men.
How does Gounardes keep looking away when he knows NYC has invested billions of dollars in social services and these men are not getting any help?

March 20, 2022Vito LaBella is Running for Senate – He Stood Up For Brooklyn Being Gerrymandered

Vito LaBella is running for Senate District 22.
I know Vito LaBella and his work in this community. We are not personal friends, but I can tell you that he is a good person, a hard worker, he’s very postive and he believes in every person being heard.
LaBella is the father of three teenagers and that’s a good thing for this community because Vito has a lot of people he has to answer to!
I was happy to hear that LaBella spoke out against gerrymandering in July.

Hear LaBella’s views on how districts can be divided fairly:
Years ago, the Democrats in this community spoke out against the Republicans gerrymandering this district.

It was surprising to Andrew Gounardes, Justin Brannan and Chris McCreight be silent while Brooklyn was super gerrymandered into districts that have nothing in common. Why didn’t the Democrats just draw rectangles around area like they do update?

I was equally surprised that District Leaders, like Joanne Seminara and Tori Kelly would remain silent when these district maps were published. Why are they District Leaders if they can’t speak up for Brooklyn?

Vito LaBella said, No matter who does gerrymandering – it’s wrong. That’s the type of leader Brooklyn needs!
When Andrew Gounardes saw the new district lines, he should have voted against them, if he believed in democracy.

We should have seen Gounardes writing articles for the newspaper speaking out against super gerrymandering this borough. If he believed gerrymandering with wrong when the Republicans did it, he should have taken the high road and made fair districts in Brooklyn.

Instead, Andrew was silent because he fears being voted out by his existing community. Leading from FEAR creates a closed district, like we have now. People in our community don’t have a voice in the state government because Gounardes believes his position is just to back what the Democratic Party wants and he doesn’t present out our community’s needs.
Vito LaBella has been an advocate for parents in this area for many years. He’s represented parents who felt like their voice wasn’t being heart. LaBella has build a community with the parents in Brooklyn and they fought together. They stood together and won because they were united.
Democrats in the area will say they made they gerrymandered the district to help create an Asian district. If that was true, then they wouldn’t have divided up Chinatown like they did. With Asian hate on the rise and Asians in Chinatown asking to keep their district together, the Democrats should have done everything they could to strengthen Chinatown. It was divided to keep the area weak.
Vito LaBella put together a list of his top issues. His choice of issues shows he knows Brooklyn and is ready to represent our area!
