Keep Marty Markowitz: He symbolizes Brooklyn
Pro Bono Barrister
The main reason Borough President Elect Eric Adams faced no serious political opposition in the recent election is that he brings an impressive record to this very vital position held the past 12 years by one of our most iconic Brooklynites, Marty Markowitz.
We have no doubt Eric Adams will be one of the finest to occupy Borough Hall. His qualifications are unquestioned and we look forward to four or more years of B.P. Adams in charge here.
Yet, maybe due to nostalgia or just a refusal to let go, there are many who don’t really want the effervescent Marty Markowitz to step off the public stage.. His happy, booming style has typified Brooklyn during the period of amazing growth we’ve enjoyed during the past 12 years and helped us carry on through the Depression of ’08.
