Start: 5:30 pm
End: 9:30 pm
The annual ritual of the raising the rents (of stabilized tenants) in NYC will occur on June 19 at the Great Hall of Cooper Union, 7 East 7th Street, at the corner of 3rd Ave. A tenant press event will occur at 4:30 and the drama itself begins at 5:30 PM. If you've never gone, you'll get an interesting and important piece of NYC culture. I suspect that the NYC Rent Guidelines Board will, as usual, raise rents, impose hardships, on low and moderate income tenants and go home. Can you remember a day when the Board tried to raise Mr. Bloomberg's rent? Oh yes, he's an owner! He gets a tax rebate. Look for screaming tenants waving signs. That's the place.

This comes from the Harrison campaign. And let me just add that Steve Harrison's very consistent stand against Bush's Iraq Quagmire is one contrast with Mike McMahon's more ambiguous position (see here, here, and here for McMahon's shifting or unclear position).
