The question begs, For the trillions who make this reform minded commentator the undisputed leaders in the politics of Brooklyn.
The question begs, This reform minded commentator has returned once again with a look at Fort Greene-Propsect Heights "Democrook", I mean Democrat Assemblyman, Hakeem Jefferies "Selective Memory".
The question begs, From

"The newly rawn maps create a state Assembly district that is 51% Asian in Sunset Park, Dyker Heights, and Bensonhurst. Asian-American groups had been pushing for a district to match their surging population in the borough."
The question begs, Code word for Assemblyman Peter Abbate turning into Assemblyman Peter Chu.
“We love it,” said Steve Chung, head of the head of the United Chinese Association of Brooklyn. “We would like to elect someone who can represent us, support us, and know our interests and our needs.
“It can really motivate a lot of Asian people. Before they might feel reluctant [to participate in politics] and I don’t blame them,” he said. “They have a better chance to win now.”
The question begs, This reform minded commentator wonders if Assemblyman Peter Abbate feels the same way?
"The plan also dramatically redraws Brooklyn state Senate districts. The Senate maps were drawn up by the Senate GOP majority, rankling many borough Democrats whose districts were sliced and diced.
The plan creates a “super Jewish” Senate district in Borough Park, Midwood, and Flatbush, closely mirroring the district that will be represented in the Assembly by Dov Hikind. Influential Orthodox Jewish groups had been pushing for more concentrated representation, and the heavily Orthodox district could be a boon for Republicans."
“The poisonous use of the gerrymander by the Senate majority undermines the integrity of our democracy,” said Assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries (D-Prospect Heights), who sponsored an independent redistricting bill. “These proposed lines demonstrate why an independent redistricting commission is critical, given the inability of some in the Legislature to conduct themselves with a modicum of responsibility."
The question begs, This reform minded commentator points out isn't Hakeem Jeffries part of the same "Democrook", I mean Democrat controlled Assembly who did this....
"But that doesn’t mean Democrats in the Assembly aren’t guilty of carving out election districts for maximum partisan benefit in the draft maps released last week.
In a presentation in Albany this morning, Common Cause’s Susan Lerner presented a PowerPoint presentation that showed what they say are Assembly districts as egregious as some of their counterparts in the Senate. In Queens, Common Cause found the conservative-leaning Middle Village area chopped up into four separate districts to keep Democratic officials in those seats, as is the case today.
Upstate, Assembly Democrats continue to divide up cities like Albany and Rochester to help dilute the impact of conservative voters. Rochester is divided into three separate districts, all of which are represented by Democrats. A similar situation is proposed for Syracuse."
The question begs, Talk about "Selective Memory" ladies and gentleman.
The question begs, Then again maybe this is why Hakeem Jeffries has some "Selective Memory".
"Prospect Heights Assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries wants to reduce penalties for people caught with small amounts of marijuana.
Currently those caught displaying 25 grams (seven-eighths of an ounce) or less of marijuana in public can be arrested on a misdemeanor, while those who have that amount in private are hit with a $100 fine."
The question begs, Somebody has a bit "too much" time on there hand.
The question begs, Ladies and Gentleman the same old "politics" from the same old "Democrooks", I mean Democrats.
The question begs, As Always The Truth Has Spoken.
