ANCHORAGE – Anchorage's new downtown parking garage has a name now, it's part of one of three bills that Governor Palin signed into law on Tuesday. The parking garage will be named after Carolyn Linny Pacillo, a woman who fought in the name of downtown parking.

For almost five-years, Pacillo and her sister dressed as Fairies and put coins in parking meters to prevent drivers from getting tickets. Wearing tutus, fairy wings an sometimes carrying a wand, the dou drew attention to what they considered unfair ticketing practices.

Pacillo also raised money for the Food Bank of Alaska and Challenge Alaska - she passed away last November.
