Michael Nulty remembers the ninth anniversary of the Tenants Associations Coalition in 2007.

Nulty is a TAC program director and possesses a roomful of activist hats.

As part of the anniversary celebration, the coalition party also featured the first mayoral candidate debate of that campaign season, and the party was open to the public.

“It was an opportunity for the public to ask the candidates questions; it was a really empowering moment,” said Nulty, who added that the celebration is also remembered for another reason: “One of the mayoral candidates got arrested for disrupting the event by blocking doors and pulling the fire alarm.

“When you plan an event, you don’t like it when unexpected things happen.”

Regardless, TAC’s event was a success and, most memorable of all, it even ended with food left over.
