I was interested to see on the back of your July 24 edition the half-page color ad that “Alaskans are speaking out to oppose Ballot Measure 1.” I read the statements by Alaskans giving their various reasons about how good (allegedly) SB21 is for us all. Then I read the fine print at the very bottom of the ad: “Paid for by Vote No on 1… Top contributors are BP, Anchorage, Alaska, ConocoPhillips, Anchorage, Alaska, and ExxonMobil, Anchorage, Alaska.” That was all the information I needed!
