Montana Opts Out of REAL ID; Tester Calls on Congress to Listen

by: Matt Singer

Tue Apr 17, 2007 at 11:35:36 AM MST


The Governor signed a bill opting out of REAL ID today -- meaning Montana is not going to be part of the de facto national ID system. The bill passed unanimously.

Jon Tester is already on it -- calling on the U.S. Senate to listen to the people of Montana. Similar bills are moving elsewhere in the country.

More as real news stories are up.

Update - AP story is up. Montana is joining Arkansas and Idaho. Maine, Washington, and Hawaii are also being pains in the feds' asses on this one. That's a nice red/blue coalition, I think.

Congrats to Brady Wiseman who sponsored this (0.00 / 0)
bill and ushered it through.  He's a software engineer so he's knows about what this kind of I.D. could do.  He's not some "keep off my property" kind of private property fanatic.  He's a common sense legislator who brought a good bill that all Montanans could get behind. So hats off once again to our valiant legislators who get $67 a day to pay for their room and board in Helena.
