Plano residents shared their thoughts on the proposed Dallas Stars arena at a council meeting Nov. 9.

The meeting was the first since voters rejected taxes for the arena during the Nov. 3 election.

In a nutshell: Of 17 speakers, 11 spoke in opposition to the Stars arena. Four Plano residents shared support for the arena, while two asked city council to carefully consider their options.

The background: Plano City Council called the arena tax election in August, per previous reporting. Approval would have provided the city the option to implement various taxes to help fund the arena.

Looking ahead: While city officials did not address speakers at the meeting Nov. 9, Mayor John Muns and City Manager Mark Israelson released statements the morning after the Nov. 3 election. The city plans to reassess its financial approach for the project.
