Supervisors in four California counties are expected Tuesday to place anti-biotechnology measures on their November ballots, galvanized by a Mendocino County law passed in March that bans genetically modified plants and animals from its borders.Organizers in Marin, Humboldt, Butte and San Luis Obispo counties all collected enough voter signatures for inclusion on the November ballots.Organizers in several more California counties are gathering signatures in hopes of qualifying their own anti-biotech measures in early 2005 and activists in other local muncipalities in Hawaii, Vermont and elsewhere are also circulating petitions and urging politicians to pass similar legislation.
