Idaho Prop. 2 (Black Bear Initiative) is coming up
for a vote in Idaho. I'm told a recent Spokesman-Review
poll shows the initiative behind. If the poll is accurate
(which may or may not be true), it would mean that
things have changed considerably in Idaho based on
earlier polling results. The change may be a result of
the number of media spots against the
initiative backed by over $350,000 raised by
hunting special interest groups.
My question...for those that listen to TV, radio,
and read the newspaper, how extensive has been the
media campaign against Prop. 2? I would ask Bill
London directly but we all know how much he watches
TV (grin). Any insights you can offer as an observer
(objective or not) would be appreciated.
