- Mass. high court strikes rent control question from ballot
The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court removed a rent control ballot measure from consideration, citing that its exemption for religious institutions improperly involved religious matters under the state constitution. The initiative, pushed by tenant advocacy groups, would have required all cities and towns to impose rent limits tied to inflation or 5%, but faced opposition from real estate industry groups.
