Shilelagh Law at the Wicked Monk 12/3

Several years ago, I walked into this band playing at the Wicked Monk. The Monk was ALIVE!

Shilelagh Law is my favorite Irish band.

If you like Irish music, you will love them!

The Wicked Monk has a King’s Court Shilelagh Law lager on tap.

The Wicked Monk is on 95th Street and 3rd Avenue.

Did You Want Justin Brannan to Vote in Favor of Giving Green Card Holders The Right to Vote?

NYC Council is expected to vote on the bill to allow greencard holders the right to vote. Councilman Justin Brannan not only supports this bill, he is one of the co-sponsors of the bill, Int 1867-2020.

By now, we should have heard about Brannan’s support for this bill in one of his newsletters since it was introduced in January 2020. See the bill

NYC Council should be helping people become citizens! If someone has a green card, they are eligible for citizenship in 3-5 years. NYC Council should help those people expedite their citizenship papers.

People who have greencards use the passport from their home country to travel because they are not citizens of the US yet.

It’s strange that we haven’t heard opposition on this from the head of the Republican Party, Ted Ghorra and Conservative Party leaders, Fran and Jerry Kassar. Jerry’s article this week was terrible (don’t click) in the Brooklyn Reporter.

Maybe Stephen Maresca will have some comments to make about this. (See here)

The Post Called Out Jumaane Williams For Calling to Defund the Police While Living on the Fort Hamilton Army Base

Most people in Bay Ridge don’t know that Jumaane Williams lives in our community. Williams is the NYC Public Advocate.

Jumaane Williams is a supporter of “defunding the police,” while he lives behind the gates of the Fort Hamilton Army Base.

He pays around $4000 a month for a townhouse on the federal property. (See story)

“When Williams leaves the base he’s escorted by an NYPD police detail.”
