State Sen. Eric Adams (D-Crown Heights) charged that Republicans were catering to voters in the newly-created “super Jewish” Senate district when they allocated $1 million for 150 cameras for Borough Park last month – while higher crime neighborhoods like Crown Heights go without the extra security.
Republican State Sen. Marty Golden (R-Borough Park) responded that Adams is using the camera controversy as a springboard in his bid to become Brooklyn’s next borough president.
State Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos – who funded the Borough Park cameras – “is paying special attention to the neighborhood,” said Adams “because it a Republican-leaning district. He carved out the district and now he allocated funds to that district.”
Hey Adams. No one is stopping you from getting cameras for Crown Heights or any other community you want. As a politician, give something up and negotiate for it. Prove that you are a statesman, if you can.
Its nice that when Mr. Adams come to Boro Park every wanna be macher wants to take a photo with him
The only thing not kosher about these cameras, is who is going to be monitoring them.
Am I missing something? 1 MILLION dollars for 150 cameras????? that comes out to $6,666.00 per camera!!!!!!! whos RIPPING off all that money????????
while higher crime neighborhoods like Crown Heights go without the extra security.
makes sense put it where it is needed most. Of course spending is not an issue when it helps you whoever that you is
There have been murders/homicides in Flatbush, bank robberies, etc and no cameras!!
