Flashes: November 6, 2013 Elections and choices

  • Voters in Broomfield, CO narrowly rejected a moratorium on fracking in their town (by a margin of 50.51% to 49.49%, while Youngstown and Bowling Green, OH defeated bans against fracking.
  • Voters in Boulder, Lafayette, and Fort Collins, CO and Oberlin, OH passed moratorium or bans on fracking by significant margins.
  • Voters in Washington state, similarly to those in California last year, turned down a ballot measure that would have required labeling of food products containing genetically modified organisms (GMO).
  • Anyone wishing to buy products without GMO in them need only look for the USDA Organic label.  The process for obtaining the label requires that the food product have no GMO in them.
  • Enjoy the journey!
