“Sexual crimes are skyrocketing here, and nothing’s being done,” Ragusa said. “The 68th Precinct and the 62nd Precinct, they do not respect [incumbent City Councilman] Justin Brannan, because he openly voted to defund the police.”Local City Council Republican candidate, Michael Ragusa told The Post that citizens taking matters into their own hands are an indictment of current legislators’ failures.“Overall, this year the NYPD was funded to the tune of $5.
