Retail politics vs. policy positioning: a contrast between the Markowitz and Stringer "State of the Borough" speeches
Atlantic Yards Report
OK, Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer is running for mayor. And he presides over a borough that, unlike Brooklyn, doesn't have an identity independent of the city at large nor, arguably, needs one.
But it's still worth noting how Stringer's State of the Borough Address, unlike Markowitz's version, focused on policy.
...By the way, here's the word count per speech:
- Stringer: 4,190
- Markowitz: 11,246
NoLandGrab: Y'know what they say — if you have nothing to say, talk for 95 minutes.
