How Did Free Concerts in a Park Become Part of an Election Flyer with Maimonides Hospital?
NIA (the Neighborhood Improvement Association) is running concerts in the park. These concerts used to be run by the former senator, Marty Golden. (See here or here)
Why is Maimonides Hospital and Investor’s Bank on the flyer?
Here’s why that is a problem:
Maimonides Hospital lobbied Justin Brannan and Shahana Hanif.
Maimonides received over a million dollars from the NYC budget:
While Councilman Brannan shared the money he gave to community groups that year, Brannan failed to mention the million dollars to Maimonides.
Why did Maimonides lobbying Brannan in 2022?
In 2021, Maimonides purchased the naming rights to MCU Park in Coney Island.(Source) That’s the huge stadium where the Cyclones play.
A lawsuit against Maimonides says the hospital lost $145 million in 2021. (See here)
In 2021, Maimonides started work on the Emergency Department in Bay Ridge, where SUNY Downstate used to be on 7th Avenue and 92nd Street. (See here)
Yesterday, Justin Brannan sent out a card advertising his campaign.
Are these concerts now campaign events? NIA was paid with our tax money – so this should not be on a Re-elect Brannan card.
Why is Maimonides, who successfully lobbied Brannan, on these cards?
