Coney Island Residents Stand Up Against Casino

Today’s hearing started a lot later than planned.

Coney Island residents got up and stood up for their communities. Many do not want a casino in their community, especially not near a school! The casino team got heckled by those fighting for their hometown.

I sent in testimony and you can too if you want to help Coney Island residents: [email protected]

WHY DIDN’T DEMOCRAT DISTRICT LEADER, CHRIS MCCREIGHT STAND UP AND CALL BRANNAN OUT FOR DEMAPPING CONEY ISLAND?

McCreight is the Chief of Staff to Justin Brannan, so he never speaks out against Justin Brannan…even when Brannan does the wrong thing.
Instead Chris McCreight bothers Alec Brook Krasny because Brooks Krasny chose Marissa Solomon to be on the CAC because Solomon lives in Coney Island. Chris McCreight should have told Justin Brannan to give his seat to Mathylde Frontus because Frontus loves Coney Island.
