The Brooklyn Democratic Party hosted a meeting at the Coney Island Amphitheater Wednesday night that left Brooklynites waiting for hours. 

Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso told Errol Louis on “Inside City Hall” Thursday that there was an “incompetence” of the Brooklyn Democratic Party to host the meeting, have one vote on an “inconsequential item” and to not vote on the leadership is “unbelievable.”

“At this point, if there are any district leaders or any county committee members that are voting for the current slate of the Democratic Party in Brooklyn, it’s a testament to what power grabs are, what keeping power is,” he said.

“It’s not us versus them, it’s right versus wrong. It’s so objectively a problem that we have a dysfunctional party system in Brooklyn, and it seems like the powers that be and the politics that play continue to allow them to stay in power,” Reynoso continued. “And I’m going to continue to fight against that and I’m hoping that some district leaders and county committee members saw that disaster that was yesterday and what a change.”

Reynoso also talked about Brooklyn lawmakers in support of the congestion pricing proposal, while some are criticizing the proposal that calls for a fee on drivers entering Manhattan south of 60th Street.

“What we wanna do is improve the service in our subway system and our busing system. We want you to bike, we want you to walk. We want to see if there are any alternatives to car uses to get you where you need to get to,” he said, adding that the transit system needs improvement. 

When asked about his opponents pointing out that elected officials have city-issued cars and how he’s asking people to stop using cars, he said it was a “strong argument.”

“I don’t think we should have our placards and we shouldn’t be able to use those to park,” he said. “Elected officials should be treated like everyone else so if we have to go over the bridges to get wherever we need to get to, we should be able to pay for it just like everyone else. 

However, Reynoso mentioned that elected officials, especially borough presidents, are, “moving all over the borough.” He added that he’s been biking around Brooklyn for the last seven to eight months.
