Via Twitter, it's impact on students
A resident of Bayside asks => @BarryGrodenchik @MTA
and 10 others
I am very concerned about the elimination of the current Q76 route. The new proposal adversely impacts students at St. Agnes HS, Holy Cross HS, St. Francis Prep, and the Mary Louis Academy. Further, it adversely impacts many other residents of Eastern Queens.Via twitter getting variety of information regarding the MTA hearings:

How disgusting is this. The mta has a second special closed door session for elected officials with no passengers or advocates invited. Shame on the Mta, Bourough hall and elected officials who actually don’t want to be bothered hearing passengers concerns. Expect protests coming

This morning I joined other #Queens elected officials including @jessicaramos to give feedback to @MTA on their proposed Queens bus network plan. Senator Ramos and I both hit home how this plan does not work for so many and must be changed."

Various INFORMATION regarding the California Fires - January 2025 via social media

Various videos reporting the fires in Los Angeles area on Twitter/X Updated information Jan 10, 2025: About the Resnicks and shortage of WATER and other manipulations." One billionaire couple owns almost all water in California. The family donates SIGNIFICANTLY to Democratic candidates You won’t believe this, in 2021 they made a huge donation to Gavin Newsom to fight against his recall Lynda and Stewart Resnick own roughly 60% of California's water rights.

These two were in attendance and it was divided up by private interest groups before the 1994 secret meeting.” They’ve been paying off Democrats ever since to keep the scam going and Governor Gavin Newsom is their guy" =================================== I had a girlfriend mention about “smart cities” and I ju...

Alder wood, known for its water resistance, was primarily used, along with oak and larch. 2. The wooden piles have petrified over time – Partially true. The piles haven’t literally turned into stone (petrification), but they have become extremely hard. This is because they are submerged in oxygen-poor water, which prevents decay and allows minerals from the water to gradually reinforce the wood. 3. St. Mark’s Campanile stands on 100,000 piles – False. The bell tower is supported by about 10,000 wooden piles, not 100,000. 4. Basilica della Salute required over a million trunks – Likely an exaggeration. The basilica does rest on thousands of piles, but claims of a million are probably inflated. 5.
