Voters in the Dallas area have rejected a proposed tax measure that would have helped fund a new arena for the NHL's Dallas Stars, the Associated Press reported Wednesday.
The referendum asked residents to approve taxes tied to the planned venue. The measure failed, leaving the team's arena plans uncertain.
The Stars currently play at American Airlines Center, which they share with the NBA's Dallas Mavericks. The team had sought public funding for a new facility, but the vote indicates a lack of public support for taxpayer-backed subsidies.
