According to a local news website, Honolulu Civil Beat , Monsanto and Dow -- two of the world's largest biotech and agricultural conglomerates, have amassed an $8 million war chest to beat back a Maui County voter initiative that would ban temporarily all GMO farming, according to documents filed with the Hawaii Campaign Spending Commission.
