Posted by Dottie on March 05, 1997 at 09:51:10:

In an article in NYTimes,March 5, "the poll by Quinnipiac College's Polling Institute in Hamden, Conn.,shows that 54 percent of New York registered voters want to keep the state's rent laws intact...Support...ran deep not just in New York City...but also in the suburbs and upstate. In the city, 62% said they supported retaining the laws...in the suburbs, 54 % supported the laws...Maurice Carroll, the director of the polling institute, said the poll suggested that...Bruno might have trouble maintaining support even among his fellow Republicans for his proposal to phase out most rent portections this year...Officials with tenants groups among their supporters seized upon the poll results to argue that Mr.Bruno's position was becoming increasingly untenable." Here's ammmunition we can use as we write to our elected officials.
