Do you disagree with those programs or just he doesn't have the authority to do it on his own. Let's go back. You said rent freeze. He has the authority to do so. No, he does not. There's an independent rent guideline, boards that independently make that decision. So he does not have the authority to do that [rent freeze]. He had the authority to do free buses. I gave him a pilot project to do when he was in the Assembly. He failed to carry out on it. (06:40)

CLAIM

Asserts that rent freezes are decided by independent rent guideline boards, not by the mayor.
