Brock's bill and public comments from community members, including Rodriguez's letter, can be found in the last agenda here:
www.cityofithaca.orgCynthia Brock has stated that she would take the chance to talk to local tenants, however she did not specifically state that she would be talk with the ITU. Rodriguez said that that is not enough, and that in order to create a housing bill that benefits the most, a conversation with all involved needs to take place.
Concerning the confusion surrounding the "Right to Renew" bill by the ITU and the "Prohibition of Eviction without Good Cause" bill, Rodriguez mentioned that she would like to learn more about why the ITU's bill was dismissed, when many of its policies and procedures, according to Rodriguez, would have helped tenants.
