September 27, 2025Sunset Park Residents Flew Message To Andrew Gounardes and Dan Donovan
The Brooklyn Marine Terminal Project was approved this week.
As you can see from the message flying in the sky, elected leaders didn’t do a good job representing Sunset Park. Many felt the politicians sold out Brooklyn to the EDC.
Many residents are upset because the project lacked transparency and infrastructure for the housing plans. The vote was delayed five times. This time, the Assemblywoman for the area called for more time before they vote and they refused.
This area was gerrymandered into Gounardes’ district, so Andrew should have made a better effort to hear and help the people get the needed reports and answers.

September 26, 2025After Hours Street Work on 94th Street Between 3rd and Ridge Blvd. in Bay Ridge
The streets are being ripped up in Bay Ridge. On 94th street between 3rd Avenue and Ridge Blvd., there were notices posted for work to be done between 7:00 am and 7:00 pm for 9/25-9/26.
The crew showed up with their trucks on Thursday evening 9/25 at 10:30pm and started working.
When residents complained about the noise, the workers suggested they call 311.
311 told the resident to call the 68th Precinct. The 68th Precinct told the resident to call the DOT. The resident called 311 and left a complaint for the DOT
The DOT is allowed to do emergency work at night. Repaving the street is not emergency work.
The DOT does this because there is no politician living in Bay Ridge who will say or do anything. Do you think this is happening on Andrew Gounardes or Justin Brannan’s blocks?
It’s been happening for years. We need better leaders who are concerned with local issues and not playing on social media.

September 23, 2025Liam McCabe is the Head of the Brooklyn Republicans and They Are United
Update: 9/25/25 I saw this:
Look at that – Liam McCabe is the GOP Boss.
Things seemed to have calmed down in the Brooklyn Republican Party’s reorganization.
The last we saw local Republicans were collecting proxy votes without the names of candidates on the proxy paper.
Now there is a UNITY slate. Let’s see what they will do.
