Prop 98 Loses!Thursday, June 5, 2008
Proposition 98, the California initiative which would have banned rent control and other important tenant protections, lost on Tuesday by more than 20 percentage points in a major victory for tenants, environmentalists, retired persons and a broad coalition. Tenants throughout California celebrated the hard fought win. We want to congratulate all of the activists and organizations who helped make this victory possible.
However, landlords and other property owners have vowed not to give up the fight. They now intend to take it to the State Legislature in an L.A. Times article. I don't think they have much chance of getting a new law passed, at least not until the Republicans control the State Legislature, a day which hopefully which will not come.
