Hot Springs, Mont., town council passes resolution against corporate personhood

HOT SPRINGS – This little eastern Sanders County community is now on record too as saying corporations are not human beings. The town council Tuesday night unanimously passed a resolution stating just that.
The resolution was modeled after a referendum overwhelmingly passed by Missoula voters in November, and the 4-0 vote by Hot Springs councilors made Susan Hagen proud of her small community.
... Hagen headed a small group – a “pretty loose coalition” as she describes it – associated with High Country Peace and Justice, and Occupy Hot Springs, who first approached the council with the resolution in December.
... They collected signatures from about 10 percent of the town’s population of 550, and although not all turned out to be registered voters, Hagen guesses the 30 or so that were was probably close to 10 percent of registered voters as well.
