The A.2A bill (passed by the Assembly on 3/17/97) permanently extends the state authorization for municipalities to continue rent regulations.

The Senate vote was for a completely different bill (had nothing to do with the Assembly bill) and it was not a vote on the merits, it was a motion to discharge.

The Senate has no bill. What diffrerent bill are you talking about? The vote defeated a Democratic motion to bring a four-year extension of the laws to the Senate floor. [4/8/97] New York Times.

: Silver has long been a landlord's man no matter what speaches he's giving now.

In passing the A.2A the Assembly has made it clear that their intention is to preserve rent regulated housing.

The laws will be renewed.

Bruno comment regarding people not taking his threat seriously, he replied, If they are stupid enough to do that, they will make the biggest mistake that they have made this year". [4/6/97] New York Times.

The real threat is that Silver might agree to further weakening. Put your pressure on him and your local assembly people and Senators; hold them responsible for further weakening.

The purpose of the Grandstand was so that the Senators could "STAND UP AND BE COUNTED". [Senator Connor - LES Forum on Housing]

Forget Bruno and lobby day -- they're both a waste of time.

The only person that shouldn't be there on lobby day is Bruno. We don't need anyone to run interference for the Governor. We will represent a clear message to our elected officials. Renew the Rent Laws for 2.7 Million People in New York.
