Newcomer Bids to Deny Markowitz a Third Term
The Local [Fort Greene/Clinton Hill]
by Michael Szeto
Eugene Myrick has a message for Fort Greene: Slow down.
Mr. Myrick, an online entrepreneur who is hoping to challenge Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz in his bid for a third term, said the neighborhood is developing too quickly.
“On the Fort Greene side of town you have to slow down,” he said in an interview. “Fort Greene is becoming more like Clinton Hill.”
The yield message includes the Atlantic Yards project, which Mr. Myrick strongly opposes, arguing in his campaign that it has received too much support from Borough Hall.
NoLandGrab: Though New York City's electorate twice voted for two-term limits, Markowitz is happily seeking a third, courtesy of Mayor Bloomberg, Christine Quinn and the Bloomberg 29.
