Summary
Hoke residents already pay the extra 0.25% when shopping in Cumberland and Moore counties; putting it on the November ballot lets voters decide whether to capture that revenue locally for schools and public safety. It's advisory only — the Board would still have to act.

Impact analysis
Could generate new county revenue from local purchases, but not until after November — too late for this year's $6 million gap.
Hoke County taxpayers generally if voter-approved, since local purchases would fund local services.
Shoppers would pay slightly more at the register if voters approve and the Board implements it.
