Did anyone call him out for this during the meeting?
There’s a public comment section, right? Straight up ask why he feels it’s appropriate be deciding matters of public saftey while actively endangering the public himself by distracted driving during this very meeting.

From my experience with a different fight in NY, these people don’t give a shit. They have no shame, they only care about their golden kickbacks.

How do people not vote them out?

They’re backed by billionaires and landlords

If billionaires always could win unions wouldn’t exist.

Quick, without googling, tell me your state level representative, and give me a summary of their votes on key issues.

Exactly. We can only deal with so many issues in a 24 hour period. With trump, there’s 47 new issues every day. Fraud overload. No way to respond to all the trash. We need the boondocks saints to just get rid of the bulk of the garbage and let’s see how the surviving trash changes almost overnight.

Most people don’t pay much or any attention to local politics which makes advertising and incumbency very powerful. Most people literally just vote for the name they recognize from TV or mailers.
It would take a large increase in political consciousness to fix this.
