DUBLIN — Environmentalists are fighting hard to block a “land grab” ballot measure in Dublin on next week’s ballot — and the price tag for both sides is getting steeper.
Now, supporters and opponents have raised $250,000 total for their campaigns — a remarkable amount for what would normally be considered a small ballot measure. The opposition, a group called Save Dublin Open Space, has raised $136,304.42 in contributions as of the most recent filing deadline. They spent $75,375.75 and have $60,928.67 remaining.
