Max Rose Isn’t Afraid to Speak Out

 

 

Unfortunately for Bay Ridge, we have politicians who are afraid to speak up for their community because they don’t want to offend their party, but Max Rose isn’t one of them.

Many Trees in Bay Ridge are Down From the Storm

 

 

 

 

The streets are a mess today.  I’m surprised the city didn’t have a company come and cut this tree as it is dangerous.  Thankfully, the kids here are really good or this could be a problem!

Alternate side parking was active, even though trees are down and there are piles of branches in parking spaces.

Tropical Storm Isaias Rips Through Bay Ridge

 

Tropical Storm Isaias is hitting the area with a lot of wind. Hear it here

The Verrazzano Bridge was been closed. (Update: Open again).

A tree was uprooted on Marine Avenue and crushed this car.  (Our poor neighbor whose car was crushed).  A viewer captured it on Citizen.  See here

 

 

 

This is the other side of the street where it fell. See video   

Shore Road around 1:00 pm doesn’t look too bad:

 

 

72nd Street:

Some blocks had a small amount of  debris. Like this

 

Some blocks lost branches or trees like this one on on Narrows Avenue:

We are hearing fire truck sires all around. They are moving trees, like this one on 81st Street:

Power outages are now a problem. Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis said 11,000 people are without electricity in South Brooklyn and 36,000 in Staten Island are with electricity.   See here

 Three Guys From Brooklyn Fruit and Veggie Store on Fort Hamilton closed because they lost power

 

 

 

Also at 1584 – 86th Street, there is a house that was evacuated because of arcing wires. See video here

Did Brannan’s Article on Property Taxes Fool You?

 

See larger

Did today’s article in the Daily News written by Councilman Justin Brannan and Joe Borelli fool you into thinking these politicians care about high property taxes in their area?   Seen here and here.     

All this article did was remind Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights that Justin Brannan is the wrong person for this job!

Strangely, after this year’s budget passed,  Brannan tweeted that home owners will  pay about $300 less next year.  He didn’t mention that in today’s article. 

 

 

 

 

If either Brannan or Borelli were authentic, they would have written an article when  Senator Andrew Gounardes and the senate passed a bill to give NYS homeowners a tax break. Gounardes admitted to doing that here:

 

 

  

Justin Brannan helped Corey Johnson and Mayor de Blasio fool us with a property tax commission.  The commission did nothing, but delay progress. 

 

Senator Andrew Gounardes and Senator Brian Benjamin said last Fall that they were waiting on the Property Tax Commission.  There was no reason for Gounardes or the senate to wait – they had the power to change the law for NYC.

 

 

We also didn’t see any outrage from Brannan or Borelli when the NYC Property Tax Commission came back and eight months later nothing happened!

 

Maybe Justin Brannan will write an article about all the lobbyists he is hearing from. We don’t understand why his name is listed in the lobbyist database so much and what all those dollar amounts mean.  See here – (on the left choose 2018, 2019 and 2019, then go to the bottom and choose the green button and put in Targets – type Justin Brannan – select his name from the list and then search) 

 

Maybe one of Brannan’s staffers is recording all of this nonsense and will write a book to out him for all of his nonsense! 

Hopefully, Democrats, Independents and Republicans are looking for candidates to take back our seat and get Brannan out!  There has to be a parent in this community who can fight for us, enjoy a $148,500 salary and not need lobbyist money.

 

 

Finally, let’s not forget Brannan and Borelli’s last silly newspaper article in December 2019.  A policy expert smashed Brannan and Borelli’s article and explained how their bill would hurt long-time homeowners in New York City. See here  In February 2020, Borelli and Brannan tried to fool us again with another silly article pointing the finger around at everyone but themselves.

3rd Ave Dry Cleaners & Shoe Repair Closed

 

 

Customers of 3rd Ave Dry Cleaners & Shoe Repair are going to be sad to see the above sign on the gate of the shop on 3rd Avenue and 78th Street.

 

 

 

 

This shop is next to My Thai Restaurant, which went out of business in June

This shop is a victim of Covid-19 since people haven’t been going to work and haven’t needed a dry cleaner and shoe repair shop as much.   

Good luck to the owner!

NYC Councilmen Try to Play in Sunset Park

A few days ago, Sunset Park finally got Carlos Menchaca to listen to them and put an end to the Industy City Deal.  See here – This was a big win for the people.   Bklyner explains the win for people – see here.

Today, Councilmen, Donovan Richards from Queens and Richie Torres from the Bronx wrote an article for the Daily News to overturn  Menchaca and support  Industry City. The Real Deal noted how odd the councilman from other boroughs request was. See here

 

WHATTTTTT?!!!  Donovan and Richie need to pipe down and mind their own borough!

 

 

REBNY   REBNY   REBNY   REBNY    REBNY

 

 

 

 

 

Why do Richards ad Torres from other boroughs have an interest in Industry City? 

 

REBNY   REBNY   REBNY   REBNY    REBNY

 

 

 

 

 

 

Think about what would inspire two men from other boroughs to go against Menchaca.   

Torres and Richards are being inauthentic and should be embarrassed for going against Brooklynites who are protecting their area.

 

 

Richie Torres Mind Your Own Borough - Not Sunset Park.

 

 

Errol Lewis pointed out something very strange about these men tonight on his show.  Lewis noted that both Donovan Richards and Richie Torres are about to move on to other positions.  Richards is going to be the Queens Borough President and Torres is going to be in the House.

 

The people in Sunset Park deserve a say in their neighborhood.

Do you wonder how many lobbyists are pushing this project?
