Description: From GASP of Colorado Education Center, summary of evidence that the tobacco industry was funding and organizing opposition to a Boulder smoke free ordinance.
Were Election Expenses Withheld in Boulder? (1999) Philip Morris PR Firm Appears to Have Run Campaign, But Didn't Report it GASP of Colorado (Group to Alleviate Smoking Pollution) has uncovered internal documents indicating that Philip Morris did not report all its expenses in the 1995 Boulder no-smoking initiative campaign. POGO (the opposition) reported receiving $22,255 in donations, with a minimal amount coming directly from tobacco companies. The group used an attorney who works for the tobacco lobby, got donations from retailers, and the Colorado Tobacco and Candy Association. The opposition denied until the very end that they were getting help or money from Big Tobacco. Proponents of the ordinance (FAIR) knew that other tobacco industry consultants were helping the opposition behind the scenes and not reporting it to the city clerk. However, no concrete proof was available at the time to verify this information.
