Cost of Living Council Exempts Small Retailers From Controls
The Cost of Living Council exempts small mom and pop retail firms with annual sales under 100000 from price controls and about 45 percent of rental units from rent controls. The move targets 75 percent of retail firms and 10 million renter-occupied units, concentrating enforcement on areas with inflation risk. Donald Rumsfeld calls it a refinement not decontrol, stressing continued price and rent discipline.
