Looking back, after 17 years, it's hard to remember just how the LYNN TENANTS ACTION COMMITTEE was formed just after I got to Lynn. Someting miraculas the very week I arrived. A City County Council meeting was held, and Rent Control was on the agenda. Shortly  before, an elction for Mayor was held and by surprise a man named Cannegiano, a furnaral direrector who had lost ten times was elected by an overweming majorinity. At the meeting, he addressed the Council from the floor. Rent Control won by a majority! In our next isse, the headline was, "People's Mayor on the Job."
