Ballot Measure 4 poses threat to Alaska
The proponents of Ballot Measure 4 want you to believe the measure is all about the Pebble Mine. They've spent millions upon millions of dollars to try to convince you that it is.

Ballot Measure 4, "An Act to Protect Alaska's Clean Water," is focused on preventing the certain disaster threatening the world's largest salmon run -- the Pebble Mine. Nothing more, nothing less.
GUEST OPINION: PRO ON MEASURE 3
