Wisconsin Senator Ron Brown (R 31st) said Thursday, “SB 268, Consumer Rental Purchase Reform, would have created the strongest consumer protections in the country for rental-purchase agreements. Given his staff’s involvement in crafting the bill, I am very, very disappointed that Governor Doyle chose to veto it at the eleventh hour.

Brown added, "This action had nothing to do with policy, but is pure politics. In his veto message, Doyle cites the objections of two state agencies, the Departments of Financial Institutions (DFI) and Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection. DFI helped draft the legislation and if that department or any other agency had serious concerns about the bill they had ample opportunity to make those concerns clear before today. They did not.”
