    Can I nominate mma fighter Quinton "Rampage" Jackson? A task force like this needs some muscle if you get my drift.

    I'm so skeptical of anything the State does these days - wouldn't surprise me to see this turns into an enforcement arm that works to enforce stablization laws for the real estate lobby - these are the same people who say we need to be surveilled for our safety 24/7 - don't trust them for a second. the same people who are pushing medical totalitarianism - no flu vaccine, you can't ride the subway. its coming. nmaking no payoffs to health insurance industry? you have to pay a fine to the State. its already here

    This is good news. The state agency previously tasked with handling rent regulated harassment cases did shit. We'll see how it goes.
