Why Was $608,000 Allocated by Councilman Brannan to Maimonides Hospital?
Councilman Justin Brannan never told Bay Ridge that he allocated $608,000 to Maimonides Hospital.
In the newspaper, Councilman Brannan presented Maimonides opening at the Old Victory site as “A WIN FOR THE COMMUNITY.”
It’s good that another hospital will be in the area, but it’s not a win when tax payers money went to fund the hospital.
In the newspaper, Brannan is quoted as saying, “This a colossal win for our community and something we’ve been working on together for quite a while.” (Source)
Councilman Brannan did not tell Bay Ridge that he was lobbied for money for Maimonides Hospital.
Other NYC council members who were lobbyists contacted for Maimonides also allocated money to Maimonides including Councilman Eugene, Maisel and Brad Lander totaling 1,582,000 plus the $608,000 gave the hospital over two million dollars from NYC taxpayers.
Strangely, Maimonides Hospital is described as a non-profit hospital. Nonprofit hospitals do not pay federal income or property taxes. Why did they hire lobbyists to get tax dollars from communities?
We are just coming out of a pandemic where NYC was hit pretty hard and NYC funds should not be given out like this.
These Council members were also lobbied the previous year (2020):
Why is everything in NYC controlled by lobbyists?
When Justin Brannan ran for office, Justin told us he wasn’t going to be involved with lobbyists. Almost every project and vote makes us check the lobbyist database. (See here)
Was Maimonides Hospital having money troubles that they needed Brannan to give them this money?
From 2011 – 2019, Maimonides annual reports showed the hospital is making money! (See here)
For 2021, Councilman Brannan allocated a million dollars for an office renovation for his project and never said anything about it either. Strangely, no paper has reported about this.

Brooklynites Having Trouble Getting a Passport Have Been Successful at Congresswoman Malliotakis’ Office
Passport offices are backed up with requests for passports. Even if people are willing to pay the expedited fee to get a passport, people are still having difficulty getting an appointment.
A lot of people want to travel and see family since they weren’t able to do so due to the pandemic.
Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis said she was able to help 250 people who contacted her office to get passports. (See here) That’s great news!

Man Stabbed on Shore Road Drive & 4th Avenue
Around 3:30 pm this afternoon, a man was stabbed in Bay Ridge – 4th Avenue and Shore Road Drive in the Park. (Source)
An ambulance was sent to take the man to the hopital for a stab to the stomach. Hopefully, he will be okay.
A stabbing in the early afternoon means people aren’t even afraid of being caught.
The voice in that clip above spoke about a gun in the park – see here – that hasn’t been confirmed – let’s hope it’s just a false report.

Staten Island Election Mess – Investigation
While ranked-choice voting was new this year, dead people may have voted in Staten Island’s primary elections. (Story here)
“The Board of Elections has asked for a criminal investigation into potentially fraudulent activity the agency says it found in some Staten Island absentee ballots.” (Source)
While many people think this just affects the NYC Council race to replace Steve Matteo, it may affect other primary elections as well.
Marco Kepi said, “Every single ballot that has been challenged so far by my opponent and their cronies of the Republican Party and their puppets at Board of Elections have been Albanian-American.” (See here)
