Marty Endorses Bill deBlasio for Public Advocate

I read it on my Facebook page. But then I saw it on the Brooklyn Paper. Here's an excerpt:

Borough President Markowitz heartily endorsed Councilman Bill
DeBlasio for public advocate on Monday — the second time in as many
weeks that the borough’s highest elected official has backed a
Brooklynite for a citywide office.

Last week, Markowitz journeyed to City Hall to endorse Councilman David Yassky (D-Brooklyn Heights) in his run for comptroller.

A cynic would say — not this cynic, of course, but another cynic who
looks like him — that Markowitz, the ultimate Brooklyn booster, didn’t
look at resumes, but a map when he selected Yassky over his three
Queens rivals John Liu, Melinda Katz and David Weprin; and then
DeBlasio over his adversaries, Councilman Eric Gioia (D-Queens), and
Mark Green and Norman Siegel, both of Manhattan.

“I must say that I know all the candidates [in both races] and
they’re very good candidates,” Markowitz said at Borough Hall on
Monday. “But I just think that David and Bill will do a better job.

“And the fact that they’re both from Brooklyn is just the strawberries on top of Junior’s cheesecake,” he added.

  1. Marty, deBlasio, and Yassky are all cut from the same who gives a crap about what people want let’s just give the developer$ what they want cloth. And they are all against Superfund for the Gowanus.
