A new group that’s opposing the local citizens initiative to ban ships on Saturdays has reported raising more than $300,000 to fight the proposal. Donations include $75,000 from an affiliate of Norwegian Cruise Line, $75,000 from Westmark Hotels, $10,000 from Wings Airways and $8,000 from Northrim Bank.
The anti-initiative campaign has hired Anchorage-based Thompson & Co. as its campaign manager, according to filings with state campaign finance regulators.
