The Alaska Supreme Court, upholding a lower court ruling, dismissed a lawsuit against the oil tax ballot measure scheduled for a vote Nov. 3.
The ruling means the measure, which would increase taxes on select North Slope oil fields, will be on the ballot in November.
The Resource Development Council, Alaska Chamber of Commerce and four other plaintiffs had argued that the Alaska Division of Elections improperly approved the measure because some signature-gatherers were paid more than allowed by state law.
They asked courts to throw out signatures collected by those paid gatherers.
