In Reply to: Assembly Bill A.2A, which "makes all rent-regulated tenants subject to the same system of rent adjustments." posted by Meada on March 22, 1997 at 00:15:23:

: I had written to Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver urging
: him to support rent stabilization with no weakening
: amendments. I received a letter back saying that he and
: Vito Lopez had introduced Bill A.2A, which permanently
: extends rent regulations.

: The part of the bill that I have big questions about is
: what he describes as "This legislation also streamlines the
: administrative process, making all rent-regulated tenants
: subject to the same system of rent adjustments."

: Does that statement mean they would do away with the Tenant
: Emergency Protection Act, as well as rent control as an
: entity separate from rent stabilization?

: Are there any other weakening give-backs implied in that
: statement? What does the statement mean anyway?

: Thank you very much.

I don't think it's to productive to get excited about anything happening in the assembly.
Any bill that comes out of the assembly that is 'too' pro tenant is just going to give Bruno
more of any excuse not pass any renewal ('We tried but the assembly was just not willing to
compromise ...'.)
