Wisconsin Governor Faces Rent Control Decision
Madison governor Rennebohm delayed ruling on the controversial rent control bill, saying more consultation was needed. The measure would allow 15 percent increases for tenants, 30 percent in some cases, and lift controls next June 1. He had sought longer controls until 1951 but lawmakers refused. Federal law governs increases if area offices approve. He also signed two bills and vetoed two others, funding studies, inspections, and pension changes while rejecting library and wardens’ pension proposals.
