December 10, 2021Brooklyn Socialist Don’t Want Max Rose Again Either

Who would have thought that Socialists and I had the same thought – No More Max Rose!
Update: I‘ve seen some recent things about Brittany and I don’t think those things are good for a candidate running for a government office.
I don’t want Max Rose because he became part of the system and he hasn’t been able to tell Democrats in our area when they are wrong. When Andrew Gounardes voted for bail reform, Rose didn’t say anything. When Councilman Brannan played around on Twitter about Defunding the Police, Max Rose didn’t say anything. (Rose is very active on social media so he saw what Brannan wrote and was silent).
Nicole Malliotakis is working for Brooklyn and Staten Island and doing a good job of it. I was never a Malliotakis fan, but I think she has done a good job representing her district. Her office has been helpful and her communication has been excellent.

December 10, 2021Eric Adams Announced David Banks at the New NYC Chancellor of Schools

The announcement is making many people happy because David Banks is an educator. Someone who has taught in NYC knows what is going on.
Mayor de Blasio’s biggest success was because he appointed an educator to NYC schools, Carmen Farina – not the other guy!
Banks is showing he is curriculum and wants to make sure all students in NYC know how to read.
You can’t take an educator from Florida and expect him to understand NYC schools and families. Caranza went on the attack with parents – bad move in NYC. (See here) If parents are taking the time to be at the school and meetings, it means that education is important to them.
Banks said he will expand Gifted and Talented Programs. (See his statements here)

Incoming Schools Chancellor David Banks will do away with several choices made under the de Blasio administration. He wants to keep both the gifted and talented program and the SHSAT, while also expanding on these opportunities for students to get into specialized schools. pic.twitter.com/qrUr4F8WJX
— Spectrum News NY1 (@NY1) December 10, 2021
It’s nice to see Chancellor Banks start on such a positive and hopeful tone- that matters. Banks also didn’t talk favorably about people working at Tweed who were impacting education.
If you know anything about education, G&T is special education – it’s necessary for children who need to be challenged.
Where are all those politicians who supported G&T when they ran for office, but then folded when Mayor de Blasio announced he was ending these programs, politicians like Senator Andrew Gounardes folded – he didn’t fight back – at all.
Brannan initially suppoted G&T, but then went silent.
Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis consistently supported G&T – she didn’t waver on it.
Today, Malliotakis was satisfied with Banks appointment.

December 10, 202111th Avenue Got the Old Xmas Lights

For the last few years, the 3rd Avenue Merchants talked about the cost of Christmas lights. Last year, residents chipped in to help fund the lights.
I don’t know who paid for the lights this year. In other communities, NYC Council members put it on their list of items.
Today, Frank shared the photo of 11th Avenue with the old style of Christmas lights. The modern style lights are more energy efficient as they are LEDs.
I would love to see the bill for these lights.
Some vender is making money on these old lights – while the rest of the city has moved to the new style lights.

December 10, 2021Brannan Mentioned a Book Published in 1998 at the Speaker’s Forum

When people are asked, “What book did you last read?” at an interview or in this case, the NYC Speakers forum, they are asking to see if the person keeps current with the latest publications or trends.
A good answer to the question would be a current top seller or an inspiring autobiography. Some of the Councilmembers at the forum spoke about current books. Some checked the titles on their bookcase.
Justin Brannan talked about a book originally published in 1998.

That’s how you know Errol Louis’ questions were real and the politicians didn’t have them beforehand! (Sometimes politicians are given them by the people doing the debate/forum)
Louis wanted to show who was current and who wasn’t.
Brannan didn’t even realize he messed up on the question because he tweeted about it:

The version Brannan showed in his tweet was published in 2000.
Brannan got very little response from the tweet because it was an old book – probably from when he was in college.
