: I should know about?
: The rent regulatory laws (both RC & RS) are very complicated and they're

: which allows the municipalities to pass their own laws. The RC law
: stems from 1962 and after the state allowed them to do it, the city

: extension, the city laws as well.
: Although Pataki is one of the villians, you should set your sites
: locally -- on your own state assemblyman and state senator as well
: as Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver; they are the ones who must be
: held accountable for any weakening. I agree but I had the impression that the Assembly is for the continuation, the Senate seems to be against and Pataki could have alot of influence on what happens. Is that correct?
