March 30, 2025Ari Kagan is Running Against Inna Vernikov for NYC Council – Why?
Ari Kagan announced that he is running for the 48th District Council seat. That seat is held by a Republican, Inna Vernikov.
Inna Vernikov was thinking of running for a state seat, but can serve four more years as a councilmember before she is term-limited. She wrote this:
Inna Vernikov has been one of the loudest voices against Antisemitism in Brooklyn for many years.
She’s the head of the minority party in NYC Council and there isn’t a Democrat who can beat her! She smashed Saperstein in the last election:
The Chairman of the Republican Party should recall Kagan because Brooklyn needs Vernikov’s loud voice.
Vernikov should not be using her resources to fight him as a Republican in the primary. If Kagan was running as an independent, it would be different (and he would be on the ballot in November anyway).
PS. I actually like Ari Kagan – he’s a good man. Dirty politics and a SuperPac killed his last election. But this election with Vernikov isn’t for him.

March 30, 2025The Bay Ridge Racetrack Opened for 2025
The good weather brought out the speed drivers in Brooklyn. There were accidents all over during the day and the Bay Ridge Racetrack opened at night.
I was sleeping and woke up to the sound of loud screeching from the racetrack riders. You might be thinking, “Hey close your windows and mind your business.” My windows were closed.
As we have said previously, Senator Andrew Gounardes’ Sleep bill is useless. The problem is that there are not enough police officers on our streets at night. If drivers saw one police car, the Bay Ridge racetrack won’t be open here.
The 68th Precinct needs something else to back it up because they can’t respond to calls and deal with the teens/20-somethings on the racetrack.
