Casino bribes

Casino bribes

Shout out to the No Casino folks who are grinding out some very effective videos on Instagram. I grabbed this from one of those. If these numbers are accurate, we need to vote accordingly. Unless, of course, you’re ok with billionaires bribing our electeds to get what they want, the rest of us be damned. The worst offender, Larinda Hooks, is running for reelection unopposed. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Next on the list is Shanel Thomas-Henry who’s up for reelection next year. Who do we have to challenge her??? In our neck of the woods, we have Romero and Gonzalez-Rojas. Are ya’ll ready to vote in Rosa Sanchez? And are we going to give Ramos another undeserved term or put in Monserrate?? Do we not have any good, decent, civic minded folks in Jackson Heights/Corona/East Elmhurst to run for anything??? Feeling sick and defeated right now. But at least the No Casino folks are fighting back. 💪

Apparently we have new Democratic District Leaders in 34B

In a shocking turn of events, our current DLs, Andres Vargas & Monica Valdes, were knocked off the ballot via court order due to fraudulent signatures (including a dead voter!) and Restore Roosevelt Ave leader, Rosa Sanchez, is now the de facto female DL, along with Fausto Rodriguez (m). Someone explain to me why the four lawyers also listed on the petition (Grace Meng, Jasmine Valle, Edmund Wong & Ed Irizarry) didn’t do their due diligence to examine the signatures before they were submitted and why only the DLs were removed from the ballot. The last three are even running for judge so how are they still on the ballot???
