Carlos Menchaca meets with Chinese business community
Carlos Menchaca, who is poised to be the next councilmember of the 38th District, met with business leaders in the Chinese community on Friday, October 18 to learn about what issues matter to them most.
Menchaca, who defeated longtime Councilmember Sara Gonzalez in the primary election and who will face Conservative Party candidate Henry Lallave on November 5, chatted with the movers and shakers of the Chinese community at a luncheon at Pacificana Restaurant on Eighth Avenue.
Wai-Yee Chan, director of the Brooklyn branch of the Chinese-American Planning Council, said that some of the concerns the community include pedestrian and child safety. She said that the busy shopping strips of Eighth and Sixth Avenue need surveillance cameras.
