So city council approved - but when do voters weigh in on this?
I read something about using existing taxes - did they find a way to avoid an election?

There is an existing revenue stream from a tourism tax. No election required. Voters might play a role in two ways:
1) There is noise about collecting petition signatures to force a vote on this. If so, it might be on the ballot as the same time as the initiative to stop light rail expansion and DiCiccio's other initiative related to city finances:

2) Voters who have strong feelings about this arrangement might decide to make it a factor when council members are up for re-election. It might even be an issue in the Nowakowski recall vote.
