Montana Sues Over Bonds

"Several states, including Montana, plan to sue the federal government over billions of unclaimed savings bonds.

The bonds date all the way back to the World War Two era, when national fundraising efforts were underway.

Patriotic Americans bought them, but with a catch...they wouldn't be paid off for 40 years.
Now billions of dollars worth of savings bonds remain unclaimed, most of them forgotten about with the death of the original purchasers.
Now Montana, along with five other states, is making its case against the federal government, claiming that under the 10th Amendement of the Constitution, the states have the rights to unclaimed funds.

Montana's Attorney General, Steve Bullock, states that, "It makes much more sense, rather than have the money sit in the Treasury, for Montana to take charge of its part."
