Recent Streetsblog NYC posts about Marty Golden

New Yorkers are circulating a petition calling on Senate ethics committee chair Elaine Phillips to investigate the incident in which Golden reportedly used his placard to impersonate a police officer and bully a cyclist.

Golden has shown himself to be an unrepentant menace behind the windshield. The revocation of his parking placard is the least that should happen to correct his behavior.

Who do you believe: Brian Howald, who has nothing to gain from saying that Golden used his parking placard to impersonate an officer? Or State Senator Marty Golden, who has everything to lose?

Twelve years ago State Senator Marty Golden ran over a 74-year-old woman with his SUV on Brooklyn's Third Avenue, a few miles down the same street where, on Monday night, Golden impersonated a police officer while brandishing his parking placard in an attempt to bully a cyclist out of a bike lane with his chauffeured Cadillac.
