Last Week in the News: From President Bush to Markowitz
Brooklyn Daily Eagle, Editorial
By Dennis Holt
Even though Borough President Marty Markowitz is telling anyone who will listen that last month's purge of Community Board 6 wasn't about "Atlantic Yards," the Eagle's Dennis Holt confirms it was and blames the victims:
Here in Brooklyn, there was much angst, screaming headlines and mutters of freedom of speech about Marty Markowitz exercising one of the few powers a borough president has.
If it has to be known, not one of the people Markowitz didn’t reappoint ever bothered to call him to tell why they were taking the position on Atlantic Yards — not one. No one else bothered to use abstaining as a way to say no.
No one is demanding homage or lock-stepping. A little common courtesy to the guy who opened the door for you is not too much to ask.
