A Montana judge ruled that the states Department of Commerce director, Marta Bertoglio, was unconstitutionally appointed due to her concurrent legislative service. The decision, which disallows her from working or receiving pay, was based on the state constitutions prohibition of lawmakers taking civil jobs during their terms. Bertoglio resigned her legislative seat but was appointed by Governor Gianforte, who maintains her employment pending appeals. The case is now before the Montana Supreme Court, challenging the judges selection under a new random selection law.
