## Plano Voters Decide on Prop A
Plano voters decide on Proposition A to fund Dallas Stars arena at Shops at Willow Bend Mall.
## Prop A Tax Details
Prop A would add venue tax on hotels and car rentals to generate $700 million for arena.
## Current Vote Status
As of 9 p.m., Prop A stands at 46% for with 40,579 votes and 54% against with 47,552 votes.
## Opposition Concerns
Opposition cites potential property tax hikes and lack of financing plan for arena construction.

> 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’t built a tax revenue plan, we don’t even have a site plan, so they can’t create the traffic study. There’s some very basic things that are missing, but we’re rushing to a vote on November 3rd
## What's Next
If Prop A passes, arena opens by 2031; if fails, Plano seeks alternate funding for arena.
## Key takeaway

Plano voters will decide November 3 on Prop A, a venue tax to fund Dallas Stars arena at Shops at Willow Bend Mall.
