What Jerry Kassar Didn’t Tell Us Is Important….
Jerry Kassar, head of the Brooklyn Conservatives and Chief of Staff at Marty Golden’s office has a column in the Brooklyn Reporter. It was recently shared by the Brooklyn Conservatives on Twitter.
This week Kassar wrote about the Fight Back Bay Ridge. What Jerry didn’t include in the article is very interesting as well.
- Something must have changed at Senator Golden’s office this year, as Kassar was never concerned with people who didn’t support Marty. As the head of the Conservatives, Kassar would confidently talk about candidates he endorsed. Even when he knew they were going to lose, he would psych people out with some fake statistic and optimistic win like this:
- Fight Back Bay Ridge’s bags contained some interesting papers discussing what Marty has been doing as our senator. They were so informative! one and two
- At the Summer Stroll, I realized a lot of residents who are volunteers or run things in Bay Ridge are also in Fight Back Bay Ridge. Jerry’s been talking to Fight Back Bay Ridge online since at last November. Why didn’t he go over and say hello to them?
- Jerry seemed upset by the name of the group….don’t worry Jerry it’s not a scary antifa group, it’s just your neighbors talking about Marty car being caught by the the speed cameras in school safety zones
- Jerry referred to the group as It……The pronoun ‘They’ might work better. Let’s see if I can show that in an example here: The Conservatives held a party and collected money. It gave money to Mike Long. ‘They’ would work much better than the word ‘it’ to describe a group. How did the paper’s editor miss that?
- Bohemian Rose took a great picture with FBBR during the Summer Stroll (see here). People get dramatic on on Facebook and say such silly things. Example: Summer Stroll was a “battlefield.”
- At the Summer Stroll, if y’all don’t want politics, don’t bring politics. It’s that simple. Maybe politicians shouldn’t have staff working during Summer Stroll.
- Kassar left out all the details of the ‘Cease and Desist letter’ that Golden was served. Why? Jerry could have given the juicy details of who read the letter first and who was most outraged. It would have made for a more interesting article and less Doom and Gloom.
- When I see FBBR, I will tell them not to hand out the scary fans
- Jerry tells new residents that they chose Bay Ridge for a reason. New residents and potential home buyers have no idea how Marty is participating in pay-to-play politics. As a Conservative does Kassar think, “oh no not again Marty” when it happens or does he like it? Kassar didn’t share about Marty’s pay-to-play bills from this year (but more info here)
- Finally, Kassar should schedule Fight Back Bay Ridge for a meeting with Marty Golden. One member of Fight Back Bay Ridge has been trying to get a meeting with Senator Golden for months because Bay Ridge schools are owed money from the state and Senator Golden hasn’t brought that back. Golden’s staffer cancelled the meeting, but forgot to reschedule it. As Chief of Staff, Kassar should get everyone together for a cup of coffee.
- It’s Summer, take it easy and enjoy the art.
