In the blink of an eye?or rather, the party flip-flopping of two State Senate representatives?the controversial package of pro-tenant, rent-regulation-strengthening legislation has gone bye-bye. Tenant groups had hoped the first Democrat-controlled State Senate in four decades would reverse the tide of landlord-friendly law-blocking, but now, "It's dead, it's dead," one activist tells the Observer's Eliot Brown. Landlords aren't ready to celebrate quite yet. One lobbyist says, "I think the reality is, it's a reprieve, albeit a temporary reprieve." [NYO; previously]
