What They Are Saying About Ballot Measure 1 On Election Day

This is an even more important than usual midterm Election Day, so regardless of how you’re going to or you would vote, please get out to the polls today or your ballot dropoff stations with your votes.

One of Alaska’s most talked about votes today is Ballot Measure 1, the “Stand For Salmon” initative that if passed would help protect more salmon habitat in Alaska. Here’s a little bit of the buzz on social media as decision day arrives:

Bush pilot and former state Senate President Rick Halford says pass Measure 1 and hold foreign mining companies accountable. “Remember: Their fiduciary responsibility is to their shareholders around the world, not to Alaskans.” #Yeson1 https://t.co/wFqsJ9gxz8

The Anchorage Daily News is against Ballot Measure 1, which would create new requirements for projects affecting salmon habitat.

"The improvement in salmon habitat would not be meaningful, but the negative impact on Alaska's economy would be substantial." https://t.co/z6f3v8Ckxm

Tomorrow I hope #Alaska votes #yesforsalmon Yes on ballot measure 1. The #salmon sustained us and will for many generations if Alaskans protect them.
