Comment on How come I can vote a yes or no vote for new taxes or bonds? But cannot choose where the money I give goes to? Should that also be my choice?

Most bonds or tax increases I vote on say what they are for, and the money has to be spent that way. I can’t decide the specifics, but I can vote yes or no on road maintenance, or school funding, or whatever.

Most people here won’t even know what you mean when you say “bonds” in this context.

I’m quite cynical about it. No matter what is short money, the funding is always for education or fire fighting. It seems more likely they always shuffle around the budget so the shortfall always end up where we’ll vote for it
