Governor Olene Walker expressed her opposition to the open-space initiative on the November ballot, reasoning that the measure contains too many pork barrel projects. She noted that $30 million of the $150 million initiative is earmarked for convention centers, fair grounds and local government buildings and the like. She said she supports the concept of preserving open space, but can not support this measure.
