'F**k It, I Quit' AP | Posted: 11/30/2014 11:59 am EST Excerpts: ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - "A campaign-finance investigation is moving forward against an Alaska television reporter who quit her job on-air and vowed to work toward legalizing marijuana. The Alaska Public Offices Commission wants to know whether Charlo Greene used crowdsourcing funds to advocate for a ballot initiative to legalize recreational pot use. Greene challenged the commission's request for documents. The commission on Wednesday rejected her objection to a subpoena, the Alaska Dispatch News (http://ow.ly/EZQhr)reported. That gives the agency the authority to continue the investigation to determine whether money that was spent would trigger reporting requirements. The commission is unfairly targeting her, she added. During a live newscast in September, she revealed herself to be the owner of a medical marijuana business and quit her job with a four-letter tirade. Soon after quitting, she launched an IndieGoGo online fundraising campaign to continue her fight for marijuana legalization. The effort raised more than $8,400. The commission notes that she hasn't been found in violation of the law. "But without a reasonable investigation, no determination can be reached," the commission wrote in a three-page order. Greene said the campaign should not be subject to reporting requirements because it was fundraising for her organization, the Alaska Cannabis Club, not for passing Ballot Measure 2. The agency cited examples where they believed her campaign was advocating for the initiative. Alaska and Oregon this month joined Washington and Colorado as states approving legal pot." read more: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/11/30/charlo-greene-investigation_n_6243708.html?cps=gravity ...... IMO: Like, these Alaskans' heads explode over funds raised for legal purposes for her club called the Alaska Cannabis Club. Greene should have started a fan club, said she was writing a book and would love contributions to be able to carry on with her work. Her club was probably formerly political but as of November, Alaska approved legal pot, so now Greene became socially inclined to promote something as legal as baby's diapers. Further it is a 'social club' where contributions are welcome in return for a pot plant for home use. Frankly, I don't see the problem either party has with the Alaska Cannabis Club ...pot is now legal in Alaska since November. Both sides should just get together at the club, light up a joint and negotiate the whole sordid issue into infinity.
