BUSHWICK — JoJo Toppin, who grew up in Bushwick, then moved to Norcross, Georgia, for his sophomore year of high school, is now part of the Georgia State Panthers basketball team, according to Georgia State Signal, the school’s website.

At Norcross High School, he was ranked as the No. 14 prospect in Georgia and No. 326 nationally, the Signal said.

MEAD, MEDIEVAL DRINK, FINDS A HOME IN TRENDY BROOKLYN

BUSHWICK — Honey’s, the taproom in Enlightenment Wines Meadery in Bushwick, was almost full on a recent Saturday night, according to The New York Times. The customers were drinking mead, a type of honey wine that dates to the Middle Ages. Most people in the modern age know of mead through Chaucer or “Game of Thrones,” but that’s about it. Rafael Lyon and a partner opened Enlightenment in 2015, and since then, several other meaderies have opened in the borough and elsewhere. “There are two groups of people,” Alison Kizu-Blair, a bartender at Honey’s, told the Times, “people who know about us and come here with the intention of trying the mead, and then there is the person who has no idea why the bar is called Honey’s.” The mead, which is made on the premises, also includes fruits like apples, cherries and black currants. 

ATTY. GEN. BARR SPEAKS TO JEWISH LEADERS IN BROOKLYN

BOROUGH PARK — U.S. Attorney General William Barr visited a gathering of Orthodox Jewish leaders in Borough Park Tuesday and told them he is “extremely distressed” about recent acts of intimidation and violence against Jewish communities, according to ABC7.

“It strikes at the very core of what this country is about,” Barr said during a meeting at the Boro Park Jewish Community Council. As part of a new effort, Barr announced new federal charges unsealed against Tiffany Harris, a woman accused of assaulting three Orthodox Jewish women in Crown Heights in December. The incident was one in a series of acts alleged to have been motivated by anti-Semitism that alarmed New York’s Jewish community just before the New Year, ABC7 said. 

COPS SEEK BROOKLYN, QUEENS BANK ROBBER

WILLIAMSBURG — The NYPD is looking for a man who robbed two banks in Brooklyn and Queens earlier this month and attempted to rob one more, according to qns.com. On Jan. 13, the unidentified man approached a teller at Popular Bank at 15 Graham Ave. in Williamsburg, gave the teller a threatening note and ran off with $2,000, police said. Ten days later, on Jan. 23, he passed a note demanding money to a teller at the Popular Bank at 918 Seneca Ave., Ridgewood, and made off with $500. On Jan. 27, he passed a similar note to a teller at a Bank of America branch at 386 Knickerbocker Ave. in Bushwick, but the teller did not comply and the perp ran away in an unknown direction. Surveillance video shows a white man with a goatee and moustache wearing a gray jacket and a gray baseball hat.

COUNCILMEMBER ESPINAL RESIGNS FROM POST

BROWNSVILLE — City Councilmember Rafael Espinal (D-Bushwick-Brownsville-East New York) has resigned after serving in the Council since 2014, according to the Brooklyn Daily Eagle website. Espinal will be taking over as executive director of the Freelancers Union, a national organization of independent workers. The news came shortly after Espinal ended his campaign for the Democratic nomination for Brooklyn borough president. Espinal had nearly two years left in his second and final term as councilmember. Espinal last year finished seventh in the race for public advocate. See future issues of the Eagle for more details. 

ASSEMBLY PASSES COLTON’S LITTER BASKET BILL

BENSONHURST — Shoppers will be seeing more litter baskets on commercial streets if a bill sponsored by Assemblymember William Colton (D-Gravesend-Bensonhurst-Dyker Heights) becomes law, according to the Brooklyn Reporter website. On Jan. 23, the Assembly passed Colton’s proposed legislation, which would mandate that urban areas place an adequate number of litter baskets on commercial streets and in public recreation areas. “I decided to sponsor this bill to ensure that garbage is properly disposed, and littering is kept to a minimum. It is very important that an adequate number of trash containers are in both business areas and in public areas,” said Colton. 

ACTRESS MICHELLE WILLIAMS BUYS HEIGHTS TOWNHOUSE

BROOKLYN HEIGHTS — Actress Michelle Williams and her partner, theater director Tommy Kail, are moving to Brooklyn Heights, according to Brownstoner.

Eye on

REAL ESTATE Take a winter walk through landmarked Greenpoint

By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn

Come see where shipbuilders lived.

Nineteenth-century Greenpoint was a hotbed of industry.

China, porcelain and glass production were big back then, and oil refining as well, in addition to ship making.

Now, high-rise apartment towers sprout on the shoreline of this waterfront Brooklyn neighborhood. But there’s a historic district where shipyard workers and owners lived — and a magnificent apartment building Charles Pratt constructed in 1886 as model housing for employees of his refinery, which was called Astral Oil Works.

Also, Greenpoint’s got an unusual city-designated landmark — a street clock on Manhattan Avenue.

Zip up your quilted coat and bring your fingerless mittens. It’s time for a winter walk through historic Greenpoint.

THREE CHEERS FOR THE SHORELINE The most entertaining way to get to Greenpoint for this walk I’ve devised is the NYC Ferry.

As far as I’m concerned, there’s no point in visiting any of Brooklyn’s waterfront neighborhoods unless you get at least one good look at the shoreline.

The ferry pier stands beside a new combination condo-rental apartment tower called The Greenpoint. Mack Real Estate and Palin Enterprises co-developed The Greenpoint in conjunction with Urban Development Partners.

Outside the tower at 21 India St., there’s waterfront public space that belongs to the city Parks Department. It’s open from dawn to dusk.

Have a seat for a second — there are 312 linear feet of benches — and take in the view of the Empire State Building and the United Nations on the East River’s far shore.

The waterfront recreation area has a 275-foot promenade as well, plus playground equipment and a large lawn.

Welcome to landmarked Greenpoint, which is full of 19th-century rowhouses and churches.

HAVE YOU SEEN KAWS’S SCULPTURE? When you’ve had a good long look at the river, turn towards The Greenpoint’s entrance. Right alongside it, there’s a monumental-scale sculpture that consists of two figures dressed like Mickey Mouse, but in black and white. There are Xs on their faces where you’d expect their eyes to be. In a manner of speaking, they’re cross-eyed.

The sculpture, which is called “Waiting,” was installed in October. It’s the work of popular artist KAWS, whose real name is Brian Donnelly.

Other characters in his sculptures and paintings are inspired by the Smurfs, the Cookie Monster or SpongeBob SquarePants.

In May, one of KAWS’s paintings sold for $14.8 million at a Sotheby’s auction in Hong Kong. The price was about 15 times higher than the pre-auction estimate, Bloomberg.com reported.

KAWS lived a few blocks from The Greenpoint when he was commissioned to make a sculpture for the property. “My wife was often taking the ferry, and I was imagining going to wait for her to arrive,” he told Architectural Digest in October.

Once you’ve had a good look at “Waiting,” head down India Street and turn onto West Street.

Here’s Manhattan Avenue at the corner of Kent Street.

Some other time, you should walk all the way up West Street, where you’ll find other waterfront green spaces such as Newtown Barge Park. Or head in the other direction down West Street to find WNYC Transmitter Park. Both locations’ East River views are inspirational.

Today, though, I want to see Greenpoint’s historic district.

Pratt of course founded the Pratt Institute. Lamb & Rich designed the school’s Romanesque Revival-style Main Building, which was also constructed in the 1880s. It is located on Ryerson Walk.

Pratt’s Main Building is also an individual city landmark.

THANK YOU, CHARLES PRATT

The Greenpoint Historic District begins on the opposite side of Java Street from the Astral Apartments. Properties on the east side of Franklin Street are included; those on the west side of Franklin Street are not.

Walk down Franklin Street and turn onto Kent Street. Houses built by people from the neighborhood’s shipbuilding industry can be found on this block.

A shipwright named John A. Connolly built the Italianate brick rowhouse at 101 Kent St. in 1867 and the similarly styled home at 99 Kent St. in 1870, the Landmarks Preservation Commission’s designation report about the Greenpoint Historic District says.

Jeremiah Foulks constructed the Italianate rowhouse at 109 Kent St. in 1863. He became a partner in shipbuilding firm Lawrence & Foulks, the designation report notes.

Turn on Green Street, where the brick rowhouses on the corner are pretty enough to be on a landmarked block, though they aren’t.

Turn again onto Franklin Street, where the buildings’ ground floors are populated with shops and restaurants.

You’ll find Charles Pratt’s majestic 1880s housing development, the Astral Apartments, at 180 Franklin St. It stretches the length of the block between India and Java streets. By the way, the refinery where its original residents worked was located in Williamsburgh. The neighborhood’s name had an “h” on the end of it in that era.

Architecture firm Lamb & Rich designed the Queen Annestyle red-brick and terra cotta building, the city Landmarks Preservation Commission’s designation report about it says.

The LPC’s designation report about the Astral Apartments lists numerous features that were considered innovative for workingclass housing of that era. These included toilets in each apartment, rear courtyards that increased the amount of light and air in the apartments’ back ends, fireproof stairwells with removable windows for fresh-air circulation in warm-weather months and a lecture room with books and newspapers.

In the basement, there were bathrooms with tubs for bathing.

SHIP AHOY

A CHEESEBOX ON A RAFT Further down the block, the Episcopal Church of the Ascension at 127 Kent St. is being renovated. While Ascension is being rehabbed, its congregation is holding Sunday worship services at St. John’s Lutheran Church at 155 Milton St.

TAKE A WINTER WALK THROUGH LANDMARKED GREENPOINT Continued from page 2 INB

Henry Dudley designed Ascension, which was built in 1866, the church’s website says.

The stone edifice’s architectural style is Early English Gothic.

The benefactors who donated money for Ascension’s construction were J.W. Valentine and Thomas Fitch Rowland, the website says. Rowland owned Continental Iron Works.

That was the Greenpoint shipyard which built and launched the USS Monitor, the Union’s ironclad Civil War ship nicknamed “a cheesebox on a raft.” One of its significant innovations was its revolving turret.

The USS Monitor famously fought the Confederacy’s CSS Virginia to a draw in Hampton Roads, Virginia in 1862.

If your recollection is that the Monitor battled the Merrimack on that historic occasion, your memory is not playing tricks on you. The USS Merrimack was a Union frigate that Union forces burned and sank when they evacuated a Navy shipyard in Virginia. The Confederates salvaged its hull and constructed an ironclad warship on top of it.

ed the homes for James R. Sparrow Jr. in 1885, the LPC’s designation report says.

The Sparrow family constructed homes in various parts of the historic district.

Turn onto Franklin Street.

Have I mentioned that most of the buildings on this street’s landmarked blocks were constructed in the 1850s?

The wintry day I took my stroll, adventurous souls were sitting at sidewalk tables under an awning outside the Pencil Factory Bar at 142 Franklin St. This building is on the corner of Greenpoint Avenue, within the historic district.

‘Back to our walk. Stroll to the end of the block and turn onto Manhattan Avenue, which is another boundary of the historic district.

Actually, on Kent Street the historic district ends before you get to the corner.

The rowhouses and shops on this part of Manhattan Avenue are eye-catching even though they aren’t landmarked.

Turn onto Greenpoint Avenue. The deli on the corner, whose address is 903 Manhattan Ave., has an eyepopping mural. This building is also outside the historic district.

The landmarked properties on this block include a 21building neo-Grec-style row from 123 Greenpoint Ave. down to 83 Greenpoint Ave. Architect E.B. Ackerly design-

R E A L E S TAT E

Most of this Greenpoint Avenue block is landmarked. The corner building, whose address is 903 Manhattan Ave., is not.

THE PRINCE OF AMERICAN CATHOLIC ARCHITECTS Now, turn onto Milton Street, which has rowhouses with deep front lawns on part of the block.

A row of homes from 139 to 151 Milton St. was constructed a bit later than most of the historic district, namely in 1894, the designation report notes. These brick Queen Anne houses have oriels — meaning cantilevered

This is St. Anthony-St. Alphonsus Roman Catholic Church.

PRE-CIVIL WAR ROWHOUSES

Eye on

bay windows — on their facades or a combination of oriels and loggias, which are arcades that are open to the air on one side.

This Milton Avenue block is a must-see because it ends at Manhattan Avenue where landmarked St. Anthony-St. Alphonsus Roman Catholic Church stands.

Attentive readers will notice that I mention this red-brick, limestone-trimmed house of worship in almost every story I write about Greenpoint. It’s so beautiful.

It has a 240-foot spire.

Sometimes I see this church in my dreams.

Patrick Charles Keely, nicknamed the Prince of American Catholic Architects, designed the Gothic Revival house of worship at 862 Manhattan Ave. It opened in 1874, the church website says.

Keely was born in Ireland and lived in Brooklyn. He is said to have designed almost 700 religious buildings in the Eastern United States and Canada.

Another one of his lovely local church designs is 1870svintage Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary and St. Stephen Roman Catholic Church in Carroll Gardens. It looks a bit like St. Anthony-St. Alphonsus.

BELOVED WOODEN HOUSES After you get an eyeful of St. Anthony-St. Alphonsus, walk down Manhattan Avenue and turn onto Noble Street.

Some of my favorite Greenpoint wood-frame houses are located on this block.

The LPC’s designation report calls shingle-covered, Italianate-style 107 Noble St.

“one of the finest frame houses within the district” and notes that it was constructed around 1853 and 1854. The houses on both sides of it are wood-frame beauties as well.

In February 2018, the Landmarks Preservation Commission approved a plan to renovate and expand 111 Noble St., which had been a wood-frame house but was drastically altered over the years.

When you turn from Noble Street to Franklin Street, walk down to Calyer Street and head for the corner of Clifford Place.

This tiny street has a lovely row of five neo-Grec houses from 2 to 10 Clifford Place that falls within the historic district.

These brick homes were built in the early 1880s.

Unless you live in Greenpoint, it’s possible you’ve never heard of Clifford Place.

I hadn’t until I took my walk, and it’s my job to know everything I possibly can about Brooklyn’s historic blocks.

Part of Guernsey Street is also included in the Greenpoint Historic District.

around 1870 and continued to do so into the 1960s.

Shop owners of yesteryear placed street clocks outside their businesses as forms of advertising — they put their names on the clocks. When they moved, they often took the clocks with them, the designation report said.

At the time of the Manhattan Avenue clock’s landmark designation in 1981, the name “Bomelsteins Jewelers” was inscribed on a frame around the two-faced clock. The clock has been renovated since then. The name on the frame is now “Greenpoint.”

When you’re looking for the beautiful clock, don’t be confused by online postings that say it stands outside 753 Manhattan Ave. You can’t

blame the people who wrote these postings. This address appears several times in the designation report about the clock. If you read all the way to the end of the report, it gives Bomelsteins Jewelers’ address, just once, as 735 Manhattan Ave., which makes a lot more sense.

Also, online postings say this is the only street clock in Brooklyn. I imagine that was true when the designation report was written in 1981.

But today, there are other street clocks in our borough.

For instance, there’s one outside Century 21 on 86th Street in Bay Ridge. And another’s in Ditmas Park, outside the Newkirk Plaza shops by the B and Q subway stop. Tick tock tick tock.

TICK TOCK This walk through the historic district ends at the corner of Calyer Street and Manhattan Avenue. But there’s one more important thing to see: the landmarked cast-iron street clock that stands on a pole on the sidewalk outside Greenpoint Vision Care at 733 Manhattan Ave. It was manufactured by the E. Howard Clock Company, which was founded by Edward Howard in 1861, the Landmarks Preservation Commission’s designation report about the street clock says.

This company, which was successful in Massachusetts, had an office in Manhattan. It started making street clocks

Sunset Park celebrates the Lunar New Year

BY PAUL FRANGIPANE EDITORIAL@ BROOKLYNREPORTER.COM

Despite news of the rapidly spreading Coronavirus, hundreds of people came out Sunday to celebrate the Lunar New Year by making Eighth Avenue in Sunset Park a colorful canvas of Chinese culture.

T he Brook ly n Ch inese-American Association hosted the 33rd annual Lunar New Year celebration in Brooklyn’s Chinatown, with performances by schools, after-school programs and senior centers from the area.

As the clock ticked closer to 1 p.m., the crowd packed together tightly in anticipation of a deafening firecracker display and balloon drop before the parade.

Kids and parents alike reveled in the colorful chaos of party poppers, silly string and sparklers that decorated the avenue while lion dancers made their way down to 60th Street in the parade.

The first year in the Chinese zodiac calendar is named after the rat. The last Year of the Rat was celebrated in 2008.

The parade marched from 50th Street and Eighth Avenue down to 60th Street.

The celebration turned Eighth Avenue into a colorful mess.

Traditional lion dancers were at the head of the parade.

HOLDER, Paula Helena — Was born on Aug. 16, 1955 in Guyana to the late Osbert Fitzherbert Pierre and Adrianna (Smith) Pierre. She passed away surrounded by her family on Tuesday, Jan. 21 at Northwell Health, North Shore-Long Island Jewish Hospital at age 64. She was preceded by her husband and love of her life of over 40 years, Wilfred Harold Holder.

The Celebration of Life and Legacy of Mrs. Paula Helena Holder was held on Tuesday,

Jan. 28 at Dabar Bethlehem Cathedral. The Interment and Committal Service was held at Trinity Cemetery on Wednesday, Jan. 29. One word to describe Paula is relentless.

She was a woman with incredible foresight, determination, kindness, heart and love for her family. Everything she did was for and about her family. Paula was a force to be reckoned with, inspiring everyone she engaged to be their best self. A loving wife, beloved mother and grandmother, sister and aunt, Paula was uniquely excellent and full of faith, hope and love.

She gave people hope in dire situations, walking in impossible operations and pursued to successful completion. Paula graduated with her Bachelor of Social Science degree from the University of Guyana and her

Master of Business Administration from Rutgers Business School. She was in pursuit of her Master of Divinity from the New Brunswick Theological Seminary. With over 40 years in the banking and finance industry, Mrs. Holder served as an expert in guiding companies out of financial crises into debt free status, phenomenal growth and stability through her many roles internationally and nationally as chief financial officer, financial consultant, accountant, banking executive amongst others. Simultaneously, she founded and operated several successful businesses alongside her husband, inclusive of the multimillion-dollar Radiance Home Health and Caleb Ambulette companies, and became a top revenue earner across North America for an Inc. 500

She served as financial advisor and consultant to many churches. Her most proud accomplishment was serving successfully as capital campaign director of Elim International Fellowship under Archbishop Wilbert McKinley. Ordained as evangelist and licensed lay minister by Bishop Waterman of People’s Cathedral, Paula founded the Wailing Women Ministries, Inc. to develop and strengthen intercessors locally and globally whilst also meeting the tangible needs of widows and orphans. Paula was an honorary member of the Family Life Worship Center under Bishop Christopher Cox II. Paula was also a certified chaplain of the New York State Chaplain Taskforce, a division of New York Chaplaincy Services and elder

Former Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church pastor Kjell Jordheim has died at 97

BY JOHN ALEXANDER JALEXANDER@BROOKLYNEAGLE. COM

Beloved former Bay Ridge Pastor Kjell Jordheim died on Thursday, Jan. 16 at the age of 97.

Jordheim was born in Oslo, Norway in 1922. His studies at the University of Oslo were interrupted during WWII with the German occupation of Norway. The university was closed by the Germans after civil disobedience against the German occupation by student groups intensified. Jordheim’s involvement with the groups leading protests made it dangerous for him to remain in Oslo when the Germans rounded up students to be sent to “reeducation camps” in Germany.

Jordheim evaded arrest by hiding in a church basement for several days before escaping the city. He survived the rest of the war as a night watchman at the post office,

and later was able to finish his from 1967 to 1994. studies in 1948.

Jordheim very first parent meeting that was pastor at Our Saviour’s took place a few weeks after

Pastor Kjell Jordheim speaking to the students at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Preschool graduation in 1974. the school opened.

“He detailed for the families that he wanted the preschool to be non-sectarian and of service to the community, and that the church was ‘not only open to people of Norwegian background’ but to all in the community. I am very grateful that Pastor Jordheim had the vision 50 years ago to create a place for children to learn and grow in our Bay Ridge

community. His desire to welcome all children is truly at the heart of what we believe at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Preschool,” she added.

Jordheim was also a leader in the Norwegian American community in Brooklyn for 27 years, having served as the Chair of the Annual Norwegian Day Parade in Bay Ridge.

He was also the recipient of the St. Olav medal, awarded to

him by King Olav V, the King of Norway, in January, 1976.

Norwegian Day Parade Chair Arlene Rutuelo said that hearing about Jordheim’s passing was devastating. “Although he was 97 years old, this news was like a lightning bolt that shot across the U.S. as well as in Norway,” Rutuelo told this paper.

“He served God, the church, the Norwegian community and the whole Brooklyn community as though everyone was his own family. We would do well as a society to learn from his civic-minded example.

Job well done! His legacy will continue in the lives of those he loved and served. Rest in peace, Pastor Jordheim.”

Jordheim died at the Lenoir Woods Long Term Care Center in Columbia, Missouri, surrounded by family. He was preceded in death by his son, Jon Steffen, and is survived by his wife Anne, daughter Kristin, son Jan, five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

ON JAN. 30, 1948, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported, “New Delhi, Jan. 30 (UP) — Mohandas K. Gandhi, saint of India, was shot and killed today in an assassination which may set the whole subcontinent of India ablaze with warfare between Hindus and Moslems. The 78-year-old wisp of a man, his body even more frail than usual after a fast which ended a scant fortnight ago, was shot down by three bullets as he walked to the prayer grounds of Birla House for his evening devotions. He was carried into the great mansion, home of one of India’s greatest industrial magnates, in the arms of his weeping disciples. There he died at 5:45 p.m. (7:15 a.m. Brooklyn time), a martyr to the cause for which he had dedicated his life – India’s freedom.”

OPINION NO TO NON-CITIZENS VOTING

T

he progressive Democrats in the City Council never fail to show the world how little common sense they can muster. Just last week Councilmember Ydanis Rodriguez introduced legislation that would allow non-citizens to vote in New York City municipal elections.

That means non-citizens could vote for mayor, comptroller, public advocate, borough presidents and city councilmembers. He was able to garner 22 equally common sense-lacking co-sponsors.

The mayor has not been warm to this idea in the

F

past and even the City Council speaker has raised questions. In fact, there are a number of Democratic councilmembers, including Conservative Party-endorsed Kalman Yeger of Brooklyn and Bob Holden of Queens, who have expressed opposition, in addition to the small but visible contingent of GOP/Conservative members.

The five Conservative Party county organizations in the city, through their chairpeople, together with the state party, have issued a joint statement opposing the legislation.

Devaluing the vote of

citizens and a belief that this is no more than a backdoor way of electing more progressives were two of the points stressed by the Conservative Party leaders.

Councilmember Yeger, always on point, said, “It’s not progressive to tell legal residents of the United States that citizenship has no value.”

Councilmember Holden stated, “I’m against any non-citizen voting. That’s our basic right that we’ve earned as citizens.”

You need 26 votes and a signature on a delivered bill from the mayor before something as far left as

this proposal can become law. Rodriguez is still a few supporters short. Readers should call their local councilmembers to express their thoughts. *** The governor released his

HIGHLY QUESTIONABLE

or only the third time in the 230-year history of the United States Congress, the Senate is in the midst of holding a presidential impeachment trial. The proceedings are slow and yet move at a rapid pace.

For all of the developments in what appeared to be a trial with a foregone conclusion, what most Americans are certain to take away from the trial are more questions.

If President Trump was only concerned about corruption, why did he not push Hunter Biden and Joe Biden to be investigated in his first two and a half years in office? Why did he wait until Joe Biden was leading in the polls among Democratic candidates looking to challenge him in the 2020 election?

If rooting out corruption in other countries is something President Trump is

so passionate about, and it has nothing to do with the Bidens, how come he has not asked any foreign leaders to conduct any corruption investigations that don’t involve his political opponents?

If it was all genuine concern over Hunter Biden’s role on the board of a Ukrainian company, why would he not ask the United States Justice Department to look into it, rather than press a foreign nation to investigate a United States citizen?

The hypocrisy is difficult to comprehend. The Mueller investigation determined that during candidate Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, he pursued a deal in secret to build a Moscow Trump Tower, including asking for assistance from Putin's office, despite assuring Americans he had nothing to do with Russia.

COMMON SENSE

BY JERRY KASSAR 2020/2021 budget last week.

The hill he needs to climb before he has a spending document in place is overcoming what he is suggesting will be a $10 billion dollar deficit — up for this upcoming fiscal year from $6.1 billion.

To accomplish this goal, he is proposing a number of cuts that lack the detail that will be necessary before the legislature is likely to sign off. He is also proposing what he calls several hundred million dollars’ worth of revenue enhancements (new taxes, fees and the like) as well as one-shots, which just kick the problem down

the road.

Once again, the governor is using the budget to push a number of non- budgetary items such as the legalization of recreational marijuana, commissions that effectively will be doing the job of the legislature and even revisions in the birth surrogacy laws. Last year, he used the budget to give us a plastic bag ban and the much-maligned criminal justice reforms.

Cuomo has governed now for nine years. He owns the budget, our state’s economy and what comes next, at least for now.

MATTER OF FACT

BY JAY BROWN

While President Trump and his GOP supporters avoid disputing the facts of the case being made against him, they repeat time and again that he didn’t actually break any laws, all while frequently reverting back to mentioning what they claim Hunter Biden did. The fact is, what the president is accusing Hunter Biden of is, at worst, possibly unethical, but not a crime.

If President Trump is so interested in finding corruption, he doesn’t need to look 5,000 miles away to Ukraine, but rather just down the hall in the West Wing to his top two White House advisers.

Lawyers for the president argued on the Senate floor that nepotism in the

executive branch is a very bad thing that needs to be investigated and dealt with.

Meanwhile, the president that they are defending has his daughter and son-in-law holding top White House adviser positions in his administration, without any relevant experience necessary to have ever been rightfully considered for such posts.

In his five years with Burisma, Hunter Biden made about $3 million. In 2018 alone, Ivanka and Jared Kushner made as much as $135M, much of it from new ventures they have secured since her father took office.

A firm that Jared Kushner owns a large stake in created a fund that takes advantage of large tax breaks by investing in areas that are

in disrepair and have been designated as “Opportunity Zones” by a Trump administration program that was promoted by none other than Ivanka and Jared.

If President Trump is so interested in finding corruption, he doesn’t need to look 5,000 miles away to Ukraine, but rather just down the hall in the West Wing to his top two White House advisers.

If the congressional Republicans who are defending President Trump are so concerned about Hunter Biden, why didn’t they investigate him in 2014 or 2015 or 2016, during his father’s time as vice president, when they knew about his role at Burisma and they were in control of both houses of Congress?

The answers to these questions are self-evident.

All of the protestations and distractions are completely

disingenuous and meant only to draw attention away from actions that cannot be defended.

In no other trial would a defendant claim, “The jury shouldn’t consider whether I committed the offense I stand accused of, but instead focus on the fact that someone else did something else at some other time and therefore they made me do it.”

Regardless of the outcome of the Senate’s verdict, it will have created many more questions. Will it have permanently crippled its oversight powers, establishing that a president can disregard all congressional subpoenas? Will it have forever ceded its power of the purse, setting the precedent that a president can withhold congressional appropriations in exchange for personal favors?
