The tax increase- from 3-percent to 6-percent was approved by a 17-percent margin of votes.
The tax has "a 20-year sunset clause" which means the increased tax would revert to the original 3-percent if the higher tax was not re-approved by St. Joe voters.
Your Captain wonders how many of the other 89-percent of non-voting registered voters will grouse about the increased tax....

Well can at least say the voters have nobody to whine at but themselves.
And since it is a lodging tax, the reality is that the majority of those 77,000 will not be paying the tax.
