For the past two weeks, Lt. Gov. Mead Treadwell has traveled across Alaska, hosting hearings on the ballot initiatives Alaskans will vote on in November.
One of those has been Ballot Measure 2, which would legalize recreational marijuana in Alaska for those 21 and older and regulate it in a manner similar to that of alcohol. The hearings are intended to give people a chance to ask questions of state officials and to voice their concerns.
For a crowd of about 70 people at Anchorage’s Dena’ina Center Tuesday night, questions to state officials were few, but concerns -- and accusations -- about the campaigns were many.
