Vallone Holding Pro-Tenant Legislation Hostage

Peter Vallone claims to be a friend of tenants.

Yet Vallone is currently blocking Resolution 801 from going to the Council floor for a hearing and vote. Similarly, Vallone’s people are blocking the DiBrienza program from even being introduced!

Contact Vallone’s office to express outrage at his underhanded and undemocratic tactics. Tell him Resolution 801 and the DiBrienza program need to be heard and voted on by the City Council. Don’t forget to mention that you know he’s running for mayor in 2001.

Contact Vallone: (212) 788-7210 (phone), (212) 788-7207 (fax)

DON’T BE FOOLED

City Council Speaker Peter Vallone, an unannounced candidate for Mayor in 2001, has sent out thousands of flyers at public expense to tenants throughout the city stating that he “shares [our] concerns.” Does that mean he’s going to stop blocking Stanley Michels’s and Stephen DiBrienza’s proposals to strengthen the rent laws?
