Most Loathsome Response
NY Press, Letter to the Editor
Brooklynite Paul Sheridan makes the case for Marty:
You ask us our opinions on your Web site—to vote for the Most Loathsome New Yorkers—and then what do you do with the results? Whatever you want! OK, so you designated Bruce Ratner #1, but what happened to our dear Brooklyn leader, Marty Markowitz? The readers voted him in as #2, but you list him as #31?
Hey, you guys got a career ahead in Ohio or Florida doing voter tabulation.
Cleveland Scene, Outsourcing our scum
The top of the Most Loathsome leaderboard gets some play in Cleveland, though they may be too quick to claim their prodigal son:
New Yorkers may think they're cooler than we are, but when they need someone worthy of mockery, they turn to Cleveland.
The New York Press recently gave Forest City's Bruce Ratner top honors in its annual list of the "50 Most Loathsome New Yorkers." It seems Ratner -- or "this comb-over-mini-Donald," as the magazine affectionately describes him -- hasn't made too many friends in the Big Apple with his $3.5 billion project to turn Brooklyn into an outdoor Tower City.
