    Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer; Staten Island Borough President James Molinaro, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz; Queens Borough President Helen Marshall, Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrión.

    This just in from the office of omnipresent Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz: The five BPs in the city got together today at Junior’s restaurant for a summit to discuss “keeping or doing away with term limits, the City budget, mayoral control over public schools and budget cuts at the Department for the Aging (DFTA).”

    This might be the biggest meeting since heads of the five families met in “The Godfather.”

    From the picture it seems they also ate some pickles at what they called a “semi-annual” gathering.
