The Albany Countdown
Albany's legislative session ends Wednesday, but rent laws and 421a expire today. WNYC's economic development reporter Janet Babin, WNYC's City Hall and politics reporter Brigid Bergin and Karen DeWitt, Capitol bureau chief for New York State Public Radio, talk about what's still to come from the state capitol and how it affects New York City.
.@kdewitt7 reports from Albany: "My job...is to sort out what's real and what's posturing this morning."

If any tenants need information about rent regulations; if you think your landlord is trying to take advantage of the uncertainty, call 311.

421a has taken a backseat here...I think the electeds have given up on it b/c rent regulation is the most important thing, says @jennababin.
