Jacobs v Adolphe
Monday, August 23rd, 2010
Brooklyn Paper hosts a debate between incumbent Assemblywoman Rhoda Jacobs and challenger (for the third time) Michele Adolphe. Required watching for anyone going to vote in the primaries on September 14th in the 42nd District.
The interview/debate starts off rather hostile, with Jacobs defending her decision to also collect state pension. Then it turns to demographics, and who would better represent the district, and what has been done in the name of the voters in the 32 years Rhoda Jacobs has been in office.
By the end of the almost one hour long piece, it was striking how given that most of the district extends way over across Flatbush, both ladies seemed very familiar with Cortelyou Road. When asked, Jacobs very diplomatically would not tell which was her favorite restaurant in the district, while Adolphe mentioned Picket Fence (on Cortelyou ) and Mamma Lucia’s (we presume on Foster & E17th), the former definitely in Jim Brennan’s district. When asked about milk, talk went to organic, and how much that would be at the Flatbush Food Coop (for the sake of exactness – again – not in the district).
And lastly – let’s not even talk about books.
