STATEMENT FROM KENNY SCHAEFFER

WORKING FAMILIES PARTY

Having achieved success raising the state minimum wage fro $5.15/hr to a slightly less shameful
$7.15, reform of Rockefeller drug laws, and enactment of progressive taxation, among many
other issues, the Working Families Party is now prioritizing strengthening rent and eviction
proctions for more than 1,000,000 working families.

New York City needs control of our own rent laws back. We had it in 1971, and things were
working fine. There were a million rent controlled apartments, and the median rent was
$215/month. We need control of our rent and eviction laws back but as long as the state
legislature has control of NYC's rent laws, for God's sake get it right!

No rent laws, no votes!
