Senior Editor Note<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Alaska</strong> Supreme Court<br />
granted a joint motion to dismiss<br />
all appeals to Clean Water 1 on<br />
June 9. According to a press release<br />
from Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell’s<br />
office, the court’s action means<br />
the initiative will not appear on the<br />
Aug. 26 ballot, in accordance with<br />
a lower court ruling by Judge Blankenship<br />
in a Fairbanks case. <strong>The</strong><br />
Supreme Court was scheduled<br />
to hear oral arguments on the<br />
remaining water initiative – Ballot<br />
Measure 4 – on June 16.
