Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson, joined by former U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, State Sen. Royce West, State Rep. Victoria Neave Criado and former Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert at a press conference yesterday, urged citizens to vote Yes for Proposition A, supporting a $1.5 billion measure to revitalize Fair Park and Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas.
The ballot measure ask citizens to vote for a 2% increase in the hotel occupancy tax which is paid by visitors who stay overnight in Dallas hotels and motels, and citizens would reap the benefits of modernizing these venues but would pay no increase in property or sales taxes.
