Snowy sidewalks an issue in Bay Ridge council race
Brannan wants bigger fines for chain stores that fail to shovel
In the wake of the snowstorm that hit New York City last week, the icy winter weather has become a hot issue in the Bay Ridge City Council race.
One of the candidates, Democrat Justin Brannan, said the city should crack down on large chain stores that fail to shovel the sidewalks in front of their businesses.
His political rivals, however, said that increasing the fines would be a mistake.
