FOR BREAKING NEWS VISIT www.queenscourier.com APRIL 23, 2015 • THE QUEENS COURIER 21 Douglaston/Little Neck Library Art Gallery Exhibit Opening This is what happens when the 25,000 landlords of 1 million rent-stabilized apartments have the financial resources to make repairs and improvements. They re-invest the rent in their buildings and our neighborhoods. They provide work to small businesses and jobs to local residents – and, most importantly, they preserve existing affordable housing. But some Albany and City Hall politicians, like Mayor Bill de Blasio, want to turn back the clock to old policies that failed in the past. They want stricter rent laws, and they want to freeze rents while raising property taxes and water and sewer rates. That would push affordable housing right back into the 1970’s and 80’s. We need to move forward, not backwards. IT’S TIME FOR NEW SOLUTIONS TO AN OLD PROBLEM. Store your precious Fur in Cold Storage for only $37.95 plus free steaming & glazing.
