Brooklyn Beep's Tone-deaf Pitch for Atlantic Yards
Yesterday, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz tried to make the case to NY1 that the stalled Atlantic Yards project is deserving of a federal bailout:
"It has all the earmarks of exactly all the kinds of projects that Congress is looking for and President Obama is looking for."
Last night, in his prime-time news conference, President Obama had this to say about the federal stimulus package:
"What it does not contain, however, is a single pet project, not a single earmark, and it has been stripped of the projects members of both parties found most objectionable."
