Busted! Report Reveals Established Groups Financed Rent Control Signature Collection, Debunking Tenant Activist Claims of "Grassroots Support" for Ballot Question
During news coverage of our January press conference launching the opposition to the rent control ballot campaign, State House News Service cited statements from rent control supporters who said that their ballot initiative received "grassroots" support, as they allegedly gathered signatures without paid help. However, the publication later released an updated story about the way in which rent control supporters actually received financial support from established organizations, rendering their "grassroots" claims misleading.
Below, you will find the initial article where the "grassroots" claim was reported, in addition to the follow-up article revealing the groups that supported and financed the ballot question signature collection.
