From the Desk of Marty Markowitz
Julia Lipkins | March 13, 2008
On January 6, 2007, The New York Times editorial board wrote the following:
“Gov. Eliot Spitzer is fond of saying that you can’t change the world by whispering…The goals he has set may be daunting to the old guard in Albany, but anything less from this governor would have been a grave disappointment.”
On March 12, 2008, Marty Markowitz said the following:
“In what can only be called a personal failure and tragedy, Governor Spitzer leaves office with great promise unfulfilled. As we move forward, I join all Brooklynites and New Yorkers in supporting our soon-to-be-Governor David Paterson. David and I served together in the Senate, and I have no doubt this Harlemite born in Brooklyn will prove to be a very effective Governor—by bringing people together, working with both Democrats and Republicans, and restoring people’s faith and trust in Albany.”
