- Description:
- The document from Mr. L. L. Hutchinson to Senators Elmer Thomas and Moore, and Congressman George B. Schwabe, expresses frustration with OPA and rent control, stating that it is an imposition on free people and hinders efforts to earn income from rental properties. He highlights the challenges faced due to increased taxes, insurance, maintenance costs, and labor costs, and criticizes the lack of relief provided by local Rent Control. He urges the government to prioritize justice, equity, and fairness, and calls for the removal of one-sided government policies to allow for personal freedom. Congressman Schwabe responds, expressing agreement with Hutchinson's views on OPA and rent controls, and states his commitment to continue fighting against these measures.
