As expected, the Montana AG has found The Montana Plan to be "legally insufficient." While the decision was expected, the weakness of the argument was not. Montanans deserve better legal analysis than was afforded in this sufficiency review.

“The Montana Plan,” as local organizers have dubbed it, is moving toward the state’s 2026 ballot as a constitutional initiative. Its language leaves no doubt: Montanans want corporations out of their politics, and they intend to make that decision stick." www.usatoday.com/story/opini...
