Could you clarify that please...

Met Council has met with the following Councilmembers:

Angel Rodriguez, Ken Fisher, Jose Rivera, Howard Lasher, Una Clarke, Martin Golden, Annette Robinson

Although nearly all the Councilmembers we met with aligned themselves with the Vallone rent-laws-renewal bill, not one would make a straightforward pledge to vote against weakening amendments.

Neither did they make a commitment to support Resolution 801 (calling for the overturn of Urstadt) or the DiBrienza program. We did get a lot of “My record speaks for itself,” “I will do what I think is right,” “I will do what is best for tenants in my district,” etc.

All tenants should contact their Councilmembers and demand a straightforward commitment on the renewal and strengthening of the rent laws. Met Council continues to meet with Councilmembers on the rent-laws issue.
