Voters in Anaheim, California, will decide Nov. 8 on Measure J, which would require online travel companies to be taxed as much as hotels whenever a room is booked.

Typically, hotel guests in the city that book a room through an online travel agency, like Expedia or Travelocity, pay less tax than directly booking through the hotel.
