Cuomo says Senate 'betrayed' tenants in rent regs lapse

The New York Post reports:

Gov. Andrew Cuomo scolded senators today for “betraying” Big Apple tenants by letting rent regulations expire and threatened to keep lawmakers in Albany through the weekend to reach a deal.

The governor blamed members of both parties for late-night political gamesmanship that sunk an emergency 39-hour extender intended to buy time while he worked with legislative leaders on a long-term agreement.

“Last night the state Senate - both Democrats and Republicans - failed to continue the laws beyond their expiration,” Cuomo said. “We are making progress but the Senate's failure to act last night was unacceptable and a betrayal of the one million tenants living in rent protected apartments.”

Great moments in central planning.
