What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Jackson voters will decide on a referendum that would increase restaurant and hotel taxes for the first time in over 40 years. If approved, the proposal would raise the restaurant tax by half a percent and add one percent to hotel room rentals. The state legislature passed the measure, which applies only to voters in Jackson.
