VOTE FOR JOE CONCANNON ON NOVEMBER 3RD!

VOTE FOR JOE CONCANNON ON NOVEMBER 3RD!

grand opening

The major theme of Joe Concannon’s campaign for the City Council race in District #23 is to “send de Blasio a midterm message.” This message is boldly emblazoned on all campaign signs and literature. The notion that de Blasio is taking NYC in the wrong direction is shared by voters of all political affiliations. Some are asking what is the message? In answer to the question, here’s some recent history.


NYPD LOSES ANOTHER

 

NYPD LOSES ANOTHER

Fred Bedell has written to our local and regional papers about another fallen officer and implores voters to come out and vote for Joe Concannon in the City Council race in CD#23.

NYPD Officer Randolph Holder

NYPD Officer Randolph Holder

It is with great sadness I write about another one of our Finest killed in the line of duty. NYPD officer Randolph Holder, while chasing a fleeing perpetrator, was shot in the head and killed by alleged killer Tyrone Howard. According to published reports this man was a career criminal and was arrested many times, and some arrests were commissions of violent acts. Here is a man that should not have been released from his last arrest. In my opinion our justice system is broken.

Furthermore our previous policy of,” Stop and frisk,” should not have been stopped. The criminals out there have become very brazen and not afraid to carry an illegal weapon, knowing they will not be stopped. Added to that more guns are entering the city. If we don’t do a turn around, more of our Finest will be killed or maimed, not to mention more of our innocent men, women and children will be killed. Remember our Finest are sworn to serve and protect and yet who’s protecting them ?

Now on  November 3rd there is a special election in the 23rd district and a man named Joe Concannon is running for a seat on the City Council. He is a retired Captain and has served on the NYPD and has served in the military. He has promised to fight against taxpayer money being used for criminal bail and has also said he will fight to bring back Stop, Question and Frisk. This is the common sense person we need and will get us back on track and save lives. Finally, in closing, my heartfelt prayers go out to the family of Randolph Holder and his friends and fellow officers who are grieving so.

Remember this too: Evil thrives when good people do nothing, so let your voice be heard to all of our elected officials!

Republican and Conservative candidate Joe Concannon, a U.S. Air Force veteran and retired NYPD captain, has been steadfast in campaigning for the vacant northeast Queens City Council seat since announcing his election bid in June.

Concannon is challenging his Democratic opponent, Bob Grodenchik, for the City Council seat that covers Glen Oaks, Bayside Hills, Fresh Meadows, Queens Village and several other smaller neighborhoods. Mark Weprin gave up the seat to take a position in the Cuomo administration in May.

No Republican has held District 23 in at least five decades, although the boundaries of the district have been redrawn about every 10 years during that period.

And with only three Republican members currently serving in the City Council, Concannon has a big task ahead of him. Even so, he said he and his campaigners are “cautiously optimistic.”


Voters should take action about the Iran nuclear deal

The pendulum is now swinging back in the opposite direction. The people have had enough of de Blasio, Obama and the Democratic Party. The only things that elected officials respect are votes.

Voters should take action about the Iran nuclear deal

Bellerose calls for crackdown on ‘spas’

Residents say city needs to act on concentration of massage parlors

Posted: Thursday, August 20, 2015 10:30 am

??????????????

The building at 89-39 Gettysburg St. in Bellerose, just north of Braddock Avenue, for years was the office of former state Sen. Frank Padavan.

Signs in the window now advertise it as a spa, open from 10 to 11. It doesn’t specify either a.m. or p.m.

Resident Michelle Knowles was dubious.

“I went in and asked ‘How much for a facial?’” Knowles said. “They said ‘No, no, no facial.’”

They also said they did not do nails.

“The man said ‘Only massage,’” she said.

Residents gathered outside the spa on Monday, calling for the city to take action against between five and seven such establishments they say have opened nearby in recent months.

Joe Concannon, who is running for the Republicans in the 23rd Council District special election in the fall, came out to support them. The retired NYPD captain said he is certain police are investigating the matter.

Bur he also said at least three other city agencies could have acted to shut them down, calling the NYPD the agency of last resort.

He said Consumer Affairs could act on the fact that there is not a required list of services and prices inside; that the Department of Buildings or Health and Mental Hygiene likely could find enough violations.

“This is another quality-of-life issue in which Mayor de Blasio has let us down,” Concannon said. He added that the state’s Department of State has the authority to check for the license of each masseuse in a business.
