Massachusetts voters will not see a question about ending the state’s three-decade ban on rent control when they head to the polls next November.
State Representative Mike Connolly, a Cambridge Democrat, announced late Friday he is suspending his campaign to gather 75,000 signatures to put a question on the ballot that would aim to lift the 1994 law that bans rent control in Massachusetts. Connolly’s campaign has acquired 10,175 signatures since September, and needed to gather at least 64,399 more ahead of a Nov. 22 deadline to keep moving forward.
