From the Queens Gazette:Assemblymember Margaret M. Markey (D-Maspeth) announced on April 25 that the state of New York has awarded a grant of $70,000 to the Queens Tourism Council (QTC) to help it promote the borough as a destination during the upcoming year.
Markey, who now chairs the Tourism, Parks, Culture and Sports Development Committee, created the first tourism program for Queens when she was a member of the staff of Queens Borough President Claire Shulman and established the Queens Tourism Council. The group currently consists of some 50 entities, including hotels, cultural organizations, restaurants and venues such as Citi Field, the USTA and Resorts World Casino NYC.
When her hometown of Maspeth needed $50K to start ULURP action for a park, Marge came up empty. She's now allegedly "preserving" Astoria's Steinway Mansion by sitting on a committee to save it, but has put no money toward that, either.
Corporations that make billions? No problem finding $70K for them!
And this woman gets returned to the assembly by dopey voters time after time...

And her facelift is rapidly falling apart.
Geez,
is this crooked old bag still hanging around?
She's a product of the Manes Shulman era of borough hall.That's the graduate school for shady bastards and bitches.
What a hack!
Is she a rummy?
Her face is awfully red.
I'll bet her ass lift is also falling down.
She is an incompetent hack who is great at being elected - I am not sure how or why that so!!! I been after her for years!
If Tony The Florist wants to try again, he can. But in my view, the local GOP should tap into new voter groups such as Polish voters.
She should have given me the 70k to flush down the toilet. At least I could have wiped my ass with it first.
Hell, she should take the 70K and invest in a nice nursing home. How old is she? She must be pushing 80. She's been in the Assembly forever. Another political Hack. Come on Maspeth -- is this the best we can do?
This woman is the ultimate party hack. THe FBI should investigate how she got her husband a judgeship and her son went out on an FDNY 75% disability relating to 9/11 when he spent just a few hours there if any. The bum really has sleep apnea. I heard an attorney named Crowley got him the sweetheart deal, Dizzy Lizzy's sister in fact.
Markey represents the worst thing about Queens.
Marge at Large (because she only rears her ugly head at election time, is a useless political hack. She does nothing for her constituents. She's responsible for the building of PS 58. Her good friend Liz Crowley is responsible for the Maspeth High School, however, Maspeth students aren't eligible to be admitted to the school. -- We have 3 schools in a 6-block radius which has caused overcrowding, over- busing, street traffic and overbuilding. What was once a nice neighborhood is a shit hole. The only reason Marge is in power is because she's in bed with the Crowley family and she will do and vote which ever way they tell her to. We need to flush all these politicians and start over. Time for term limits or you won't recognize your neighborhood once they ruin it.
