Heastie helps Harris open Bay Ridge district office
Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie came to Bay Ridge on Friday to help Assemblymember Pamela Harris open her new district office. Heastie was greeted by a group of civic activists and heads of non-profit groups all asking for his help in keeping their causes alive.
Harris (D-Bay Ridge-Dyker Heights-Coney Island) invited the activists and advocates to her distinct office at 8525 Third Ave. to meet the powerful assembly speaker and briefly discuss their issues.
Combating illegal home conversions, getting help for residents addicted to prescription pain killers and heroin, funding for senior citizen centers and money for programs that help the developmentally disabled were among the topics brought up during the open house hosted by Harris and her staff.
