You can see that Ms Quinn is pandering. She can see that there are far more renters than owners, so she knows which side of fence she wants to appear to be on.<BR/><BR/>She also knows, like every politician, that if you talk "compassionately," you can institute some of the most misguided, disastrous and burdensome policies upon the very people you've promised to "help."JMKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281344324964417974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1559661241465229945.post-31969676670535194482007-02-27T22:39:00.000-05:002007-02-27T22:39:00.000-05:00Ah, but Ms Quinn has come out for NYC renters gett...Ah, but Ms Quinn has come out for NYC renters getting a tax rebate!<BR/><BR/>JMK, you live in Staten Island and, hence, have a better grasp on these matters than I do but aren't many if not most of the renters in NYC benefiting from rent controls?<BR/><BR/>Also, as a former renter myself, I never received nor expected to receive a property tax rebate. It just is the way things work. I couldn't write them off as a tax deduction either.<BR/><BR/>So what exactly am I missing with your city goverment?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
