My family business was in sunset park since 1890. We survived the gangs, riots, armed robberies, pollution from the BQE, recessions, even the great depression. Who would have thought property tax and bureaucrats would be out greatest threat. #smallbusinessowner#taxreform
Only 1 of the 18 Knicks players is from New York, I think that is why our politicians root for them. Local business owners from Brooklyn are not going to pay a minimum $3000 a ticket to watch a game, but we will pay more than that a month in Property Taxes

@queenoftheclick@Sen_Gounardes Agreed, Andrew has turned the nonprofits into a political cash machine. Has given millions of dollars to nonprofits that recycle money into his campaign. He uses minority owned Nonprofits in Red Hook to petition for him and give him money.
@NYSkdiver@Sen_Gounardes If I didn't follow Andrew on social media, I would know we had a senator. He will not talk to local business owners or anyone who does not belong to a state sponsored nonprofit.
@BklynBridgeNYC Brad Landers has the support of all the nonprofits that he and his wife set up at funded with tax dollars when in office. He should really be investigated.
A tax funded nonprofit came to our store today to order work boots, they couldn't order from us because we are "white" males, not minority owned business.
I don't think our customers care what race or sex we are, they want good value and products.

I explained to our senator why local businesses were closing and people were
moving; local property taxes. Don't know why politicians have to pretend they know more than they do. Andrew & his staff slandered me after speaking about local corruption & lack of accountability.
FOR YEARS, @Sen_Gounardes allowed homes and businesses in his community to be overcharged in property taxes.
Gounardes was #Silent
Andrew Gounardes didn't care or tarke any action when businesses went to him. Right @ErikFrankel
Gounardes' actions won't help anyone in #Bklyn
@emiliemunson I think my city council woman and state Assembly woman are much worse. You scratched just the tip of the iceberg.

@BklynBridgeNYC@JulioPenaNY Julio is a fraud, he should be investigated and resign from CB7 and district leader. Still getting paid by the Chinese American planning commission? The nonprofits should declare where their funding comes from, this includes Katie Walsh's fake non-profit climatecadidates

@JCats2013@NYCMayor In Sunset Park we wanted housing and lower taxes, instead we got a 70+ acre assembly plant for windmills which is owned by Norway, and cost the US tax payer billions.

One might begin to question why the most incompetent and corrupt politicians are representing our district. They were put in office by big money to cover up the corruption and theft.
🧵THREAD: Is Brooklyn, NY a Medicaid fraud hotspot?
Brooklyn, NY has a home care billing industry that defies belief.
One zip code (11232, Sunset Park) has 30,181 residents and $3.8 BILLION in Medicaid claims. That's $143,000 per man, woman, and child.
What's even stranger is that the average income is $90K, the poverty rate is below 20%, and it is one of the younger zip codes in the area.
Receipts below.👇
As always, patience as I pull together the thread.
@BillAckman It is probably much higher, we just don't report it. It is better now than the 1940s when they would put swastikas on the Jewish owned businesses on 3rd Ave in Brooklyn. Now they just write F-israel on street signs.
To tackle the affordability crisis in New York, our politicians decided to raise property taxes again. Wish politicians focus as much on local issues as they do on campaigning.
The people in Sunset park have seen real violence. We had Over a dozen gangs all with guns, shootings every week. But the lies and virtue signaling from our pretentious politicians is much worse than the violence that I have witnessed.
My grandfather came to this country 100 years ago in search of a better life. Today, countless immigrant New Yorkers are doing the same.
My New York For All Act prevents city and state agencies from participating in ICE's cruelty. It makes us all safer. It's time to pass it.
@queenoftheclick@ShahanaFromBK@NYCMayor There is no difference in policy between Brad and Alexa, neither of them are from New York and both have deep ties to Pratt ( Old Rockefeller money). Besides Alexa is busy buying foreclosed homes of seniors in Florida.
@JCColtin Why do you call her a progressive when she is backed by the billionaires and lobbyists. Heard Alexa will move to Florida where she has been buying up foreclosed homes while claiming housing is a human right ;-)
