“Senator: Governor, commissioner trying to oust him”

AP:

A Republican Senate leader claims in recently filed court documents that Montana Gov. Steve Bullock, the commissioner of political practices and two others conspired to remove him from office by accusing him of breaking campaign laws.

Commissioner Jonathan Motl has filed a civil action against Senate Majority Leader Art Wittich that says Wittich coordinated with and took illegal corporate contributions from the conservative group Western Tradition Partnership in the 2010 election campaign.

If a judge upholds Motl’s findings, Wittich of Bozeman could be removed from office and struck from the 2014 ballot.
