Comment on If my county passes a new tax for um lets say a new jail. They staff it and build it and everything with the tax money. How come it seems the tax is there forever? Why not get rid of it when built?

In addition to staffing that other people mentioned, your town isn’t paying for the jail up front. They are issue a decades-long bond and paying it off over 30+ years.
