Corporations Fight Ballot Issues in Massachusetts
Massachusetts records two large corporate gifts to defeat ballot questions, with Massachusetts Electric providing 152 471 51 to block a state power authority and the Can Manufacturers Institute contributing 150 000 against a bottle and can deposit bill. Overall corporate backing nears 495 000 for the bottle measure and 456 675 for the power proposal as public finance notes explain legal limits on corporate backing for referenda.
