Red, Blue, Rich, Poor, Urban, Rural, Right, Left (you get the idea) we generally, universally, agree there is a problem with money in politics. I've heard from folks for years "we need to do something!!". I 100% agree!. Let's do this, as Montanans! montanaplan.com

"I've long argued that hidden corporate political spending hurts investors. The Montana Plan leapfrogs the disclosure fight by preventing corporations from creating political-spending funds that investors can't see in the first place.

"Like all constitutions, the Montana Constitution is a creature of compromise, spinning a web of rights and powers holding each other in tension.

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. Thread 👇
