Justin Brannan Does Not Support NYC Retirees
Intro 1096 is a New York City Council bill that protects the health insurance coverage of retired city employees. (See the bill) The retirees won in court, but the bill was made so the NYC Mayor can’t push retirees off their healthcare plan again.
Councilman Justin Brannan is not on the bill. The bill was introduced on October 23, 2024, so Brannan has had plenty of time to get on the bill.
How is a politician, who claims to support union workers, not on a bill to guarantee that NYC retirees keep the healthcare that was promised to them?
As the head of the NYC Finance Committee, Councilman Brannan should be a co-sponsor of the bill. Brannan should be rallying his NYC Council friends to get on the bill because Brannan said that NYC has plenty of money.
In 2023, we saw Councilman Brannan fail to put support behind Intro 1099 until retirees in our community raised their voices on Facebook together and then Brannan got onboard.
When Brannan signed onto the bill, he wrote this:
Bay Ridge retirees, can also call Brannan’s office: 718-748-5200. We will see his name be highlighted in green if/when he does. (See here)
Brannan was not an original supported of 1099 until Bay Ridge residents called him to get on the bill.

Why didn’t the towers or the trainmaster notice them and stop the train?
