Senate Debates Rent Control Vote Set For Monday
Washington June 10 A weary Senate agreed to a test vote Monday on rent controls after Sen Cain delayed proceedings with a 12 hour filibuster. The move would send the bill back to the banking committee and could derail the measure which would extend federal controls for six months beyond June 30. The House has a similar bill pending. Cain’s marathon session ended after 16 hours 40 minutes the longest in years and surpassed his prior record.
