The NY Times correction on Marty Purge story
An article last Wednesday about a decision by the Brooklyn borough president, Marty Markowitz, to remove at least five members of Community Board 6 who oppose the Atlantic Yards development project — which Mr. Markowitz supports — misstated the reason for the absence of a response by Mr. Markowitz. At the time the article was being reported, Mr. Markowitz could not be reached by his aides because he was on a ship at sea, had no telephone access and was not regularly checking his e-mail messages. He did not “refuse” to comment. (Go to Article)
NoLandGrab: The Times calls for a comment, but they couldn't get hold of the Borough President because he was on a cruise? Is that supposed to be code for "Marty is unable to tear himself away from the buffet table?"
