## Plano residents meet
Plano residents who oppose the Dallas Stars arena construction met on Tuesday to discuss concerns about Proposition A.
## Proposition A vote
Plano voters will decide in November whether the city can use a venue tax to fund a new Dallas Stars arena at the Shops at Willow Bend Mall.
## STOP The Stars Arena PAC
Plano residents formed STOP The Stars Arena PAC to oppose city funding for the arena, citing unanswered questions about the tax plan.
## Tax concerns
PAC leaders say the city hasn’t built a financing plan, tax revenue plan, or site plan for the arena project.

> One of the things that we’re hoping to get across to everyone is there’s a lot of unanswered questions. The city hasn’t built a financing plan, they haven.
## City response
The city says Prop A would only apply to people using venue services like car rentals and hotels, not all residents.
## Stars support
The Dallas Stars say Prop A will bring economic opportunity and world-class hockey to Plano residents.
## Next steps
The Willow Bend Redevelopment Advisory Committee will hold a public meeting on October 13 to answer questions about Proposition A.
## Key takeaway

Plano residents oppose using city funds for a new Dallas Stars arena through Proposition A vote on November 3.
