In response to the dismissal of the Rocking R Bar case in Gallatin County, Attorney General Austin Knudsen issued the following statement:
"It's a positive development that Gallatin County officials have reversed course and lifted the business hour restrictions. From the beginning, the 10 o'clock curfew defied commonsense, harmed small businesses, and infringed on Montanans' right to earn a living. No business should have ever been prosecuted for safely serving its customers. My office will continue to protect Montanans from egregious and bellicose actions by elected and unelected officials."
Unfortunately, the parties in this case still have the expense of this litigation diluting their bank accounts for this ridiculous charge.
