Letter to NY Constituents

Dear Friends, Neighbors and Fellow New Yorkers,

An urgent matter needs your immediate attention

BEFORE Senate sessions end next week!

The Loft Law (Assembly Bill A05667 and Senate Bill S5881) passed the
Assembly on June 17th and is now before the Senate.

The GOP and the Dems are currently tied, neither party has a majority of
Senators or vote. Senators on both sides of the aisle MUST hear from
their constituents that they support this bill.

The purpose of this bill is to extend provisions of the Loft Law to
buildings which have been occupied residentially by two or more families
for any 12 consecutive months during the period starting January 1, 2008 and
ending December 31, 2009.

This legislation would create a new window period for recognition of the
rights of loft tenants whose occupancy was not covered by the original,
1983, Loft Law and thus will protect thousands of NYC residents who are
now facing eviction.

See Assembly bill summary:

http://public.leginfo.state.ny.us/menugetf.cgi)

Senator Squadron has sponsored the bill and is currently trying to
push it through the senate.

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO CALL or WRITE YOUR LOCAL SENATOR

and OTHERS NY SENATORS AND TELL THEM THAT YOU SUPPORT

the Loft Law BILL S5881.
