June 19, 2021Sector D of the 68th Precinct Took This Car Off the Street
When this driver thought it was OK to terrorize Bay Ridge driving recklessly with a loud muffler, ? plate, tinted windows, numerous suspensions and evade the ?, your Steady Sector D said ABSOLUTELY NOT!! Knowing him and his car, they did not rest until both were off the streets pic.twitter.com/C75DPq6YZu

The 68th Precinct took this car off the street.
This problem has been left for many years so one car off the street isn’t going to make a difference.
They probably have to take about 10 cars off the street to send the message that Bay Ridge isn’t a racetrack.

June 18, 2021Malliotakis Calls for Transparency and Accountability with Where’s Out Money Act?
.@NYGovCuomo & @NYCMayor spend our tax dollars worse than drunken sailors. Whether it’s using $2B+ in federal aid on checks for illegal immigrants or squandering billions on ThriveNYC – enough is enough. My bill will bring transparency with the goal of accountability. ?? pic.twitter.com/zPxgYlgt7e
— Office of Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (@RepMalliotakis) June 18, 2021
This sounds like a solid bill that Congresswoman Malliotakis introduced (her description), but it’s not available online yet to read it. (See here)
Politics and political parties aside, whoever is in leadership in 2021 should be able to and WANT to show how our money is being spent.
Malliotakis is making me like her. Maybe she grows on people after awhile.
In our community in Bay Ridge, Assemblywoman Mathylde Frontus is transparent about the spending, even if you or I don’t agree with how she spent it, Frontus has been transparent.
Senator Andrew Gounardes has not been transparent. Last Fall, my husband asked about spending and was given a strange list without specifics. Gounardes’ staffer took several weeks to reply to my husband. Tori said to contact her with any questions, but did not reply to my husband.
Councilman Justin Brannan doesn’t want to be transparent on some things. NYC government records let us know that Brannan set aside a million dollars for an office upgrade. (See here) The building doesn’t seem to need a million dollar upgrade, but Brannan has not spoken about our tax money being used there. The building is not owned by the government, so that money is not being invested in the community long-term, as it would be on a community center.

One family home – 3 Bedrooms – 2 bathrooms. The inside is very pretty – nice floors. Everything looks new. (See pics)
