New Jersey lawmakers propose a significant tax hike, including a sales tax increase and fees on ride-shares and hotel bookings, to cover World Cup security costs. The plan faces opposition from Republicans and local leaders, who worry about deterring visitors and ensuring fair distribution of funds.
