Washington voters are about to decide on Initiative 522 to require companies to label genetically engineered foods. The polls are now statistically tied, despite the previous popularity of the initiative. This popularity slide may be due to corporate mega-funding against the initiative, which now totals $17.1 million and tramples the $6.3 million in grassroots funding for the initiative.
