Voters In Minneapolis, St. Paul Approve Rent Control

MINNEAPOLIS/ST. PAUL -- Voters in Saint Paul by a margin of 53 to 47 percent have approved a three-percent annual cap on rent increases in the Capitol City, while across the river in Minneapolis, voters said yes (also 53 to 47 percent) to a measure that allows the city council to either craft a rent-control measure or kick the issue back to voters.

Claire Bergren with the group "Home To Stay in Minneapolis":

"It's really too soon to say what the policy will look like, but we are elated and so excited that Minneapolis voters tonight voted for that pathway towards rent stabilization."
