'Foreign Interests Attack Alaskan Initiative; Outside Corporations Outspend Locals Ten To One Say Supporters'...
O- the howls of pain by the pro-Coastal Management crowd to outside money flowing in to encourage a 'No' vote. And where pray tell did the funding that destroyed our timber industry come from?
Yep, many of these Coast Management environmental players were up to their arm pits in that debate.
I rest my case, with a chuckle at turn about being fair play.
