Cement head Republicans and Conservatives still not getting it about Vito Bruno --- bringing all of his 1970s & '80s after-hours values to his NY State Senate Campaign

His real life performance vis a vis the Angel Guardian re-development/ landmark fight graphically demonstrated that Whiney Ratso Vito Bruno was not there for the Dyker Heights community when it counted  ---  instead he was 200% into his "businessman" persona with a promotion of a show in the very  same neighborhood that glorified his personal history connected to the violence, sex, drugs & rock'n'roll after-hours scene of the '70s & '80s

Boston's Charlestown had their "businessman" Ratso Whitey Bulger  ---  AND  ---  Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Bath Beach, Bensonhurst, Gravesend, Gerrittsen Beach and Marine Park has their "businessman" Ratso Whiney Bruno  ---  both cut from the same very porous cloth;  just ask so many of their "business" associates that had long vacations upstate or at "Club Fed"

Even the Vito Bruno campaign strategy of relying on the very short memories and rather limited intelligence of the old line Republicans and Conservatives still in Brooklyn can't cover up his most recent epic fail with his supposed attempt to have the whole campus of Angel Guardian buildings declared a landmark....  The truth is he did next to nothing.

First off, if Vito Bruno, who claims to be an architect from Brooklyn's Pratt Institute, really cared about getting the whole Angel Guardian site declared a "landmark,"  he would have gotten that well-respected Brooklyn institution into the fray.  Vito Bruno never attempted to get his alma mater involved in the fight to save the all the Angel Guardian buildings  as landmarks, even though Pratt has a well-publicized institutional commitment to the preservation of architecturally significant landmarks in Brooklyn.

Furthermore, as recently as August 11, 2020  ---  Bruno was mum when the matter was up for public comment at a hearing in front of the Landmarks Preservation Commission,  while his opponent State Senator Gounardes formally went on the record with the LPC; and at that time, his spokesperson said to the media:  "Senator Gounardes [has] been a strong supporter of landmarking the Angel Guardian Home and has worked with the commission and local stakeholders to make it happen since his election in 2018. The designation of the landmark and the construction of a new school are both exciting developments in our communities that he’s happy to support....” 

It has been well-said on this blog in the prior featured post that it had been all made very clear by going back to Vito Bruno's 2017 campaign for Brooklyn Borough President .  In that year,  the news of the probable re-development of the Angel Guardian site had already been circulating at the north end of Dyker Heights around Regina Pacis.  At that time, Vito Bruno was running as the Republican-Conservative candidate for Borough President against Eric Adams.  In a 2017 article in the Brooklyn Paper said that the Brooklyn Borough President would be a key figure in determining the future use of the Angel Guardian site.....   If Vito Bruno were truly interested in that particular local issue  --- the future use and possibly obtaining landmark designation for the Angel Guardian site ---  he would have brought it up in and during that campaign for Brooklyn Borough President.  He didn't; and the reason for that was that Vito was too busy with his "business" of putting together elements of and promoting a particular local event at the old  "2001 Odyssey" dance club  ---   "The 40th Anniversary of 'Saturday Night Fever' ".    Interestingly, one of the honored guests at Vito's event was none other than Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams.....

Somethings never change,  for many, many years Whiney Ratso Vito Bruno has done whatever he needed to do to advance his selfish "business" interests to the complete exclusion of all other interests and loyalties.....  Whiney Bruno followed a lot of the playbook of Whitey Bulger  ---  especially the part that said to throw your "business" associates under the bus whenever necessary.  So, it should be no surprise that Whiney Ratso Vito Bruno would use the same playbook in his "businessman's" approach to politics.
