Hawaii legislature passes bill to undo Citizens United

Extremely good news out of Hawaii today. The legislature has passed SB 2471, which would no longer empower corporations to spend in the state's politics. It is now off to the governor's desk for his signature.

Hawaii becomes the first state to embrace this approach, which is also headed toward Montana's November ballot as a voter initiative. Legislators in 13 other states introduced similar bills this year, but Hawaii's effort was the only one to make it all the way through the process.
