Description
COMPTON, Justice. In 1979 the City of Fairbanks (city) enacted a motel and hotel tax (bed tax) as part of its municipal code. 1 Up to seventy
percent of the revenues from this tax supports the Fairbanks Convention and Visitors Bureau (FCVB). In 1989 the city certified
for inclusion on the general election ballot a voter initiative to create a new arrangement for allocating the bed tax revenues.
FCVB sought declaratory and injunctive relief against the initiative in superior court, and was granted a preliminary injunction
barring the initiative from appearing on the ballot. The court then declared the proposed initiative unconstitutional, concluding
it repealed an appropriation, and issued a permanent injunction. The city appeals. We reverse.
