January 31, 2022Andrew Gounardes Likes To Stand In This Subway And Campaign, But He Won’t Help These People
It was a cold morning in NYC.
There were many homeless people seeking refuge on the R train this morning. They need help and shouldn’t be living like this.
Another frigid morning in #BayRidge & the subways are serving as a defacto shelter providing warmth for those whom the @NYCCouncil has neglected.

The taxes for mental health programs have been collected & spent; where has it all gone? Where is the audit?
When is enough enough? pic.twitter.com/yKJrR0BIKe
Politicians don’t care because they don’t ride the subway and this doesn’t affect their family.
Senator Gounardes failed to help these people, but will campaign in this station in October and ask for our vote.
