John Alexander Makes Bay Ridge Not Love Marty Golden!
I have no idea what Senator Golden did to the Brooklyn Eagle journalists, but this is the second time that I have seen the Brooklyn Eagle writers make Twitter go in an uproar against Senator Golden!
Brooklyn Eagle writer, Paula Katinas published Senator Golden’s comments about “Heroin Not Being a Ghetto Drug.” Katinas exposed a serious problem and Marty was labeled a racists by various outlets (here, here and here)
Then today on Valentine’s Day, John Alexander wrote an opinion piece called: Why I Love Senator Golden. Alexander started the article by referring to Golden’s snafu as an off-hand comment!
John Alexander interviewed Golden’s Chief of Staff, Jerry Kassar. Alexander wrote: “Kassar thinks Golden is in a unique position to help introduce bills benefiting Brooklyn.”
John Alexander knows that Golden’s latest bills are Pay-To-Play Bills for Cigarette Companies. Why would Alexander shine the light on how Senator Golden isn’t working for his communities in Brooklyn, but rather a few individuals? See the bills here
John Alexander talked to John Quaglione and wrote: “Golden was also a proponent of the Barclays Center from the onset before it was even built, according to his Deputy Chief of Staff John Quaglione. “He was one of the key original supporters of the project.”
Why would John Alexander remind Bay Ridge residents that Marty Golden supported the eminent domain-created failure inwhich politicians and developers stole a neighborhood to build that center? (Source) Why didn’t Quaglione name something that Marty did for Bay Ridge?
When Twitter saw Alexander’s piece, they thought that Alexander was declaring his love for the fallen politicians, and Fight Back Bay Ridge made the #NotSoGolden hashtag for Valentine’s Day. They invited Bay Ridge residents to share why they don’t love Senator Golden.

Did the Brooklyn Eagle Make a Mistake in Printing John Alexander’s Article?
