It appears as though Brooklyn Councilman Brad Lander thinks that he could teach newly-elected councilwoman Leslie Knope (aka Amy Poehler of NBC’s “Parks and Recreation”) a thing or two. Lander wrote a congratulatory letter to Ms. Knope in May inviting her to “spend a day as a Council Member of the City of New York,” stating that he “can provide [her] with valuable insight into the role of a City Council member.”
While explaining what goes into a typical day of a Councilman, he mentions a key incentive – Knope will not run into her nemesis department, the library: “you will definitely love that our local library has been closed for years due to construction (no librarians around here, lately).”
Lander closes by hitting her soft spot – officiating the marriage of Penguins: “if you have any spare time during your visit, I know of two very enamored penguins at the Prospect Park Zoo who have been waiting for the right officiant to get married.”
Clearly Mr. Lander’s letter was a joke. But let’s join him in rallying for Ms. Knope to come to Brooklyn and bring Pawnee’s magic with her!
