Justin Brannan Had 16 Tickets For Speeding in School Zones Because He Isn’t Accountable To Anyone
Several years ago, Andrew Gounardes led a campaign against Marty Golden. He, the Bay Ridge Democrats and other community groups hammered Golden for his driving record. Gounardes won the election and put in the red light camera bill. (See bill)
NY Post journalist Sam Raskin reported that Justin Brannan received 16 tickets for speeding in school zone. (See here)
Four days later, Senator Gounardes hasn’t said anything about the speeding Councilman.
Years ago, Democratic District Leader, Chris McCreight lashed into Marty Golden about his driving. Since Friday, McCreight has been silent as he serves as Chief-of-Staff to Justin Brannan.
What about those activist groups from years ago? RadioFreeBR wrote that they were disappointed (see here).
No other local groups have spoken out publicly about Justin Brannan’s speeding in school zones. Years ago, this was a huge issue for Fight Back Bay Ridge.
What happened to street safety activists like Transalt and the Families for Safe Streets who protested and marched in our streets? All were silent on social media. Is this just politics for them?
What about local papers? No local papers covered the story.
Brannan paid for advertising with them in the past. BUT there’s something strange about this.
In January 2000, Justin Brannan was fined almost $2,000 by the NY Campaign Finance Board for problems on his disclosure statements from 2017. See here and here
The Brooklyn Media Group owned the local papers. It’s weird that the election ended in early November and there were late December payments. Notice the amount was $2500 – not $1000 as initially reported.
Since 2018, Brannan has been making statements about speeding and acting like he cared about street safety.
When the news showed Brannan’s driving record, Brannan went to Twitter and thought people weren’t going to be annoyed. When they criticized him, he wanted to argue with them – he didn’t own what he did.
Brannan went to a private Facebook group and blamed his opponent for planting the story with the journalist.
Why didn’t Brannan just apologize and offer a plan to remedy the situation?
Surprisingly, I saw some Ridgites on social media giving Brannan a pass on this. Some were people that protested Marty Golden. The reason Golden stayed in office so long was because people continued to support him, even when they knew there was some issues.
Sam Raskin responded to Brannan’s nonsense:
Last Thursday, Raskin saw the entitled politician parked in the No Parking zone outside the Williamburg’s venue using his placard.

Channel 1 Journalist, Jillian Jorgensen pointed out Brannan’s ridiculous claim:
Streetsblog and some good journalists are the only ones committed to holding Justin Brannan accountable.
And Justin Brannan refused to respond to Streetsblog because they asked Justin Brannan to give up his placard. (See here)
In 2019, Brannan’s staffer was caught using a placard to park his car. Brannan promised there would be no more placard abuse. (See here)
Bay Ridge, when leaders support people breaking the law, then we are saying that laws don’t matter.

Chris McCreight – Hell No!
Chris McCreight sent me his fundraiser flyer.
The guy is the Democratic District Leader in Bay Ridge and not doing a good job because corruption has gone wild in our area. McCreight used to be against corruption, but now he looks the other way as things happen.

Years ago, I thought McCreight was one of the nicest people and a honest politican.
But McCreight has sat back and been silent as lobbyists, developers and PACs are controlling our local governments.
Where was Chris McCreight when the Angel Guardian fiasco went down? The developer took down part of the building before it could be determined if the building was historic or not. Brannan and Gounardes each had money added to their pots. Oh and Chris – why was Justin Brannan speaking at a meeting when he didn’t represent that community. Because Gounardes (an expert on historic buildings didn’t want to speak?)
A local reporter revealed the Nathan’s school deal.
Then there is all of the PACs giving money to Andrew Gounardes – even in 2021 there are a lot more PACs.
Say no to Chris McCreight because he doesn’t know how to speak up for Bay Ridge.

Look Who Visited Brooklyn Roots?
Jo from Lenny’s Pizzeria (the Pizza place that John Travolta ordered pizza from in Saturday Night Live) visited Thomas Perrone at Brooklyn Roots at 4601 – 4th Avenue.
When one restaurant owner compliments another, listen!

I love when business owners give shout outs to each other. See Brooklyn Roots food here. Brooklyn Roots is at 4601 4th Avenue. 347-987-4634. Their menu is here, but they do specials like Sunday sauce on certain days.
Thomas Perrone is from Bay Ridge. He used to own The Pig Guy Restaurant. He’s a fantastic caterer. I used him for a party with a lot of picky Italian people and they loved the food (people still ask me where the mini riceballs came from). When he opened Brooklyn Roots, we had to try it. (See here)
