1978
further, a proposal to raise the state's drinking age from 18 to 21 had succeeded in getting onto state ballots, and the group, which had decided to work on the issue, had to be careful not to use state funds to do so. members leafleted on college campuses, appeared on tv and radio shows, and spoke at churches and community centers, explaining how statistics on the issue had been distorted by the other side. but leaflets, travel, and other expenses had to be paid for with private donations. as the election neared, the michigan council on alcohol problems, the primary group promoting the raising of the drinking age, asked the state's attorney general to investigate the three o'clock lobby for using state funds to oppose their ballot proposal. the investigation was quickly called off, but the group decided to pursue a private grant for the coming year. the vote on the drinking age on november 7, 1978 was a painfully close one for the group -- the ballot proposal passed with only 54%.
