If the CCC slate won, rent control would likely die, and the majority of the group's officers are definitely condominium owners. Duehay and Wylie were perhaps equally surprised at the nasty reaction of many of their own supporters. The Rent Control Task Force reportedly scheduled a meeting to consider unendorsing the pair, who quickly demanded instead that the CCC remove...
