James Price, Appellant v. Kenai Peninsula Borough and Johni Blankenship, Clerk, Appellees

Summary

The court held that the proposed referendum to repeal the Borough ordinance authorizing certain general law cities to tax nonprepared food was not prohibited local or special legislation. It also held that the referendum would be legally enforceable because it would repeal an existing authorization rather than authorize taxation itself, and the governing statute did not prohibit repeal by referendum. The court therefore reversed the superior court's judgment.
