Since publically speaking out against Ballot Measure 2 I have had some of my friends, family, colleagues, and even my ex-wife ask me what the *%#!! I’m doing. They have heard Ballot Measure 2 is simply restoring the coastal management program that expired in June 2011. They know I spent thirty years working for the state of Alaska on coastal management and environmental protection, and don’t understand why I am speaking out against a measure to restore such a program.
