(Oct. 14) -- Of all the ballot measures that are being voted on this election season, none may have more universal impact than Initiative 300 in Denver.
Put it simply: If the measure is approved by the voters, Denver's mayor will have to select seven volunteers for a commission that will meet twice a year and gather the most compelling evidence regarding the existence of extraterrestrials and UFOs and put it on the city's website.
In addition, Jeff Peckman, the man behind the proposal, says the commission will be a place where citizens can report sightings and assess the risks and benefits of dealing with the E.T.s.
"We don't know what could happen," Peckman told AOL News. "There could be some good things that come from E.T. contact and some negatives. We need to figure out if there are possible business opportunities or medical treatments that could come from them."

First question: what reasons would the opposition have to this?

Tax Dollars....Not my opinion, but that's definitely what it would come down to...All things political come back to Tax Dollars spent and saved in the end...
Personally, i think the tax dollars excuse is a convenient hide for any law/amendment or bill that the government dosn't want to acknowledge...

But the article says this will be run by volunteers appointed by the mayor. Aside from maybe the extra cost it may carry to upgrade the city's websit (if that is needed), isn't it relatively free?
This sort of thing is good for … *gulp* disclosure.
