Car Parade by City Council Candidate Irene Estrada Fails to Draw Followers

 

Signs like the one above were posted on poles throughout Indian Village. It was an event behind Jacobi Hospital Building #2 where the Just Home proposal to house current incarcerated people at Rikers Island. At 6 PM there were only four cars gathered for the Car Rally. It took forty-five minutes and many calls by City Council candidate Irene Estrada to get six more cars to join the Car Parade. Getting off forty-five minutes late there were eleven cars in the parade including the News 12 car that was filming the event. By the time the Car Parade turned onto Eastchester Road it was down to only Eight cars. 

If signs for political candidates are placed on city owned poles there is a seventy-five dollar fine for each sign, and a copy  of the sign must be filed with all other materials which mention this event as a city council candidate event to the Campaign Finance Board. 

At the 6 PM hour only four cars were lined up for the Car Parade. one car from the 49th Precinct is at the curb, while a New York Hospital Police car is double parked next to the car from the 49th Precinct.
