Massachusetts Sec/State leading fight against Regulation A... interesting (in part copy, links below relative quote):

This is the same William Galvin, who on December 18, 2013, the very day that the SEC issued proposed Regulation A+ rules for public comment, filed a scathing comment letter with the SEC, railing against the authority of the SEC to pre-empt the power of the states to review this new class of “mini-IPO” offerings...At the moment, the best case is that an issuer who shows up at the SEC filing window on June 19 or thereafter will be left with the gnawing question – will its offering somehow be deemed illegal by the D.C. Court of Appeals at some indeterminate time in the future?

We urge the Commission not to compound these existing problems and place investors at even greater risk by preempting state review of Regulation A-Plus offerings.
The S.E.C. demonstrated its inability to adopt rules to protect investors in the Rule 506 market. How is it going to protect investors under the new Regulation A-Plus?
