Rent laws split Senate Republicans bracing plan
In Albany a rift among state Senate Republicans emerged over rent protections. Majority Leader Joseph Bruno faced pressure from New York City and suburban senators as he pressed to scale back protections for about 2.5 million tenants. Some moderates signaled possible defections, while Bruno kept options open and planned a Wednesday news conference to outline a plan allowing vacancy and luxury decontrol and possibly delaying a vote until June 15.
