Christopher Leon Johnson
1:10:18
Alright.
1:10:19
Hello.
1:10:19
My name is Christopher Lee Leon Johnson, and I wanna say this right now.
1:10:24
I know that there's there's a lot of BIDs that do it right there, they clean up streets, they work with the performances owners, and they make sure the streets are safe, and the businesses are safe with the NYPD, and they work with community boards, and the the the business management or the org agencies like this 1, Columbus.
1:10:39
But there's one BID that this I know this is gonna be into small business for FY 25 and FY 26.
1:10:45
Which is gonna be based in North Brooklyn.
1:10:47
It's gonna be called North Brooklyn BID.
1:10:49
Now I wanna say this right now that the city council you and the small business chair.
1:10:55
The chair, the the the the working protection, need the decline funding for the Norbrook And BID.
1:11:01
And I'll tell you why.
1:11:02
Because the NorbocomBID is ran by will be ran by Kenny Katie Dennis Horowitz who is corrupt.
1:11:10
Who mentioned on camera that there was no there was no need for notebook and BID, but she wouldn't be the head of it.
1:11:16
And all this is about where her is trying to collect money from business owners.
1:11:20
And I smell a lot of corruption.
1:11:22
I smell a lot of extortion gonna happen if this get approved.
1:11:26
Now we all know that where was, like, I don't know if Lincoln Russel is here today.
1:11:30
But this need to be sent to the at this committee because Lincoln Russell has a big stake with this notebook and BID idea that they have planned out.
1:11:39
For the city of New York.
1:11:41
This need to be rejected.
1:11:43
Kenny, Danny Horowitz, is connected to a 7th time stalker that is named Kamala Chera, and a racist anti Polish racist named Ryan Quinone, who both are members of Booking Community Board 1.
1:11:55
And I'll tell you these guys right this right now.
1:11:58
If this ever happens, And I know very soon it will happen.
1:12:02
They're gonna store all the business owners saying, well, if you don't do this, we're gonna screw your business over.
1:12:07
They did this with the Opusstreets.
1:12:09
Open Barry Street.
1:12:10
All hell is gonna break loose, and it's gonna set all community boards back, and all the DIDs back.
1:12:16
Because the BI got to do the right thing, but this one that is thick cooking up in North Brooklyn is going to do a lot of damage to all the BIDs in New York City because Dave, like I said, his own camera, Dave was at a movie theater inside the White Hotel, and the person that's gonna be that's gonna be on the board or mostly gonna be the chair of the board, Kenny, Katie, Danny Horowitz, Mitch Nang.
1:12:37
Well, there's no need of BIDs.
1:12:39
We just wanna collect money from business on his own camera.
1:12:42
I recorded it.
1:12:43
Is set up by hotel with Lincoln, leaky, leaky wrestler, and Emily Gallagher was there.
1:12:48
So I'm a conclude right now.
1:12:49
Lincoln rest linky wrestler, and Emily Gallagher was there, and and Chris Gonzalez was there.
1:12:55
Like I said, they said that there's no need for book notebook or BID.
1:12:59
But we just can't click away from business owners.
1:13:01
So I know, like I said, I work I'm not I would never disparage any other BID because I don't really know them.
1:13:09
And I know they don't I have a big I know they're doing the right thing for the BIDs and the communities that they serve, but this one that they try to cook up in North Brooklyn with Serge Greep Point in Wiesburg.
1:13:19
Wait.
1:13:19
Wait.
1:13:19
It's under leaky wrestler, under Emily Gallicher.
