"Residents reached out to our local leaders: Borough president/ Helen Marshall, Councilman/ Leroy Comrie and many others. Our request was to clean the abandoned property at 107-58 164 Street.Local leaders ignored residents/voters. Thereafter,residents were forced to proceed with a protest. Residents invited: Everly Brown, Melinda Katz, and Peter Vallone, because the three are asking for our votes to be the next borough president.
Only one person marched with residents on 6/29/13 against landlords who abandoned their property. That ONE PERSON IS EVERLY BROWN. He MARCHED with us while Katz and Vallone looked the other way.Thanks Everly Brown. As a result of Everly Brown's intervention, the site was cleaned. Queens residents, please show thanks to Everly Brown at the POLLS.
Vote for Everly Brown for borough president. Brown will continue to serve Queens residents. Send this message to your friends, family etc.1 & 2 photos are before the protest. The last photo is after the protest." - Pamela Hazel, Jamaica

Well he lives there. Where was he for the past 5 years when all of this trash was piling up?
But Everly Brown was not in office, but Helen Marshall was (for twelve years), Councilman Leroy Comrie was (for twelve years), Councilman Ruben Wills was, Assembly member Vivian Cook was, Senator James Sanders (then Councilman was), Assembly Member Malcolm Smith was, Former Senator Shirley Huntley was, Senator Malcolm Smith was. All of those folks were actually in office all this time, including many of the other candidates who said they were "leaders" in the Jamaica community doing things, like Manny Caughman, Joan Flowers, etc. So where were all those elected leaders? A civilian can only do so much.
The same place where Ruben Wills, Leroy Comrie and others were. Sometimes the phony who suddenly cares during the election is the best you're gonna get...
Never heard of this Everly Brown. Joe, you should have put your name on the ballot. You are widely recognized and CARE about your community! Go for it next time around.

CUrious - he owns property at 1246 Central Avenue that's been abandoned for YEARS. Hypocrite!
he does not own that property, he developed it and sold it.
