Andrew Gounardes Failed To Take Action When Migrants Complained of Poor Conditions
Senator Gounardes’ district was drastically changed with redistricting. While this helped Gounardes have a very easy election, it also showed Gounardes failed to take action for his community AGAIN.
The Brooklyn Cruise Terminal is in Gounardes’ district. When migrants complained of poor conditions at that location and returned to sleep outside the Watson Hotel in Manhattan in tents. (Video) Andrew Gounardes should have visited the Brooklyn facility. (Story)
One of the problems seems to be the men were staying at a $255 per night hotel and they didn’t want to downgrade. (See facility video) “More than 1,000 male, mostly Latin American migrants have been staying at the Watson for weeks.” (Source)
Andrew tweeted a statement with Alexa Aviles. In the statement, it said the shelter wasn’t ready for a visit from elected officials. Gounardes doesn’t need an invitation to visit a shelter in his area! When all your leaders do is tweet, get new leaders!
Mayor Adams went to the facility today and found the facility to be running well. See this video. Tonight this video saying the migrants were settling in was on NY 1.
