Cuomo urged to veto Airbnb bill that fines short-term rentals

Gov. Andrew Cuomo and lawmakers have been flooded with emails and phone calls urging the veto of an Airbnb bill that was passed at the end of the 2016 legislative session. If enacted, this legislation would create fines ranging from $1,000 to $7,500 for advertising a rental available for less than 30 days in New York City. Actor Ashton Kutcher, along with the co-founders of Facebook and PayPal, are also urging Cuomo to veto the same bill. The story can be found here.
