GLP’s Entine reveals Hawaii anti-GMO campaign breaks spending laws

When Walter Ritte ran for the at-large seat for the Board of Trustees at the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, his campaign was based on a single platform principal: “Aloha ‘aina is a matter of our survival.”

But can the long-time environmental activist survive in the political world? Questions have recently been raised concerning how Ritte conducted his campaign and whether or not he violated Hawaii campaign spending laws…

But was Ritte’s funding part of a well-organized anti-GMO coalition from the mainland that is now funding legislative efforts to ban GMO activity on Kauai and the Big Island? A report published Sept. 4 on Forbes.com [by The Genetic Literacy Project Executive Director, Jon Entine] accuses Ritte of receiving campaign funds that have been funneled through a private foundation in Minnesota known as Ceres Trust to help sustain his anti-GMO activities.
