Brooklyn BP Antonio Reynoso is poster boy for privileged pols

Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso is letting his privilege present: Final Friday, Twitter sleuth @placardabuse caught the pol driving with an expired registration and parking with an expired city-issued parking allow.

“Hello @BKBPReynoso. Is that this your automotive, with the expired @nysdmv registration, utilizing an expired @NYCCouncil placard?” ran the tweet, with photographs of Reynoso’s darkish gray Nissan Rogue parked in entrance of a sidewalk ramp exterior Borough Corridor with its Metropolis Council-issued placard and plates.

“Sure, that’s my unhealthy, genuinely,” the staunchly anti-car Reynoso tweeted again the subsequent morning.

Beep-beep, beep-beep, yeah!

“Seldom used, I introduced it out to deal with all these points,” he tweeted. “Eliminated Gov’t plates and returning placard. Coping with DMV on registration. Will not have plates or placard shifting ahead. No excuses.”

It’s not the primary time the Brooklyn beep’s chutzpah has been on show: Public data present his automobile has 12 violations, together with seven for unlawful parking and 4 for expired registration or inspection stickers, per the “How’s My Driving NY” database.

This is similar man who in January dismissed constituent parking issues as “not my duty.” That’s most likely as a result of he’s too busy shirking his personal duty in favor of his privilege; one other Twitter photograph exhibits his automotive parked in a no-standing zone together with his metropolis placard within the sprint.

Making the chutzpah extra profound, Reynoso made preventing parking-placard abuse, significantly round Borough Corridor, considered one of his chief points in working for workplace final 12 months.

Then once more, logic is hardly Reynoso’s sturdy swimsuit: He as soon as proposed a invoice to let bicyclists cost on by cease indicators and pink lights after merely slowing down. Even our bike-furious colleague Steve Cuozzo has extra regard for cyclists’ security.
