AG rejects ballot proposal that would prevent lawyers from serving in the Legislature

Ouch. This proposal, cited as a legal "reform" measure, was rejected by Attorney General Dustin McDaniel on the basis that it contained too many ambiguities. The proposal would also prevent an attorney from being attorney general. The ballot measure was proposed by the Oden-based (Montgomery Co.) Campaign for Comprehensive Legal Reform led by Kerry M. Hicks. Rob Moritz has the story.
