Billings Gazette: Three ballot measures will appear on the November ballot, while eight others failed to muster the necessary signatures, Secretary of State Linda McCulloch said Monday. The measures that qualified, if approved, would prohibit state and local governments from imposing new taxes on real estate transactions, end guaranteed hunting licenses for outfitters and cap interest rates that payday and title loan businesses can charge consumers. Among those that failed to qualify were high-profile measures that would have essentially banned abortion in Montana and outlawed commercial trapping on Montana public lands. An 11th-hour attempt to ban medical marijuana in Montana also failed. McCulloch said only three of the 26 ballot issues proposed ultimately qualified for the ballot. In all, 11 proposals were cleared by state officials for signature-gathering, but many were never pursued by their sponsors.
