The article states that various supporter groups had $857,000 to spend. It then states that, "The sole opposition group, Alaskans Against the Legalization of Marijuana/Hemp" had about $28,000 dollars to spend. This definitely makes the race seem one-sided. That is until I page through the rest of section A and see a full page ad against Measure 2 on Page 7 paid for by the Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce and yet another smaller ad against on Page 12 paid for by Alaska Peace Officers Association. Boy, sounds like a lot more than one group opposing, and more money as well. I don't know if this is intentional misinformation on the part of the News-Miner, or if the editors don't bother to read their own paper to notice this glaring factual inaccuracy. Perhaps they are too stoned themselves to notice. Jim Brader Fairbanks - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
