Where I live (one of the most liberal cities in the US), it seems that most taxes get passed - even the poorly structured or regressive ones. It's frankly frustrating to see our profoundly mismanaged school district get yet another 10 million dollar bond (generated from property tax) passed every 4 years.

School districts spend an insane amount of money. The budget of our local school district is 10x that of the city and they mismanage the hell out of it. They just spent 100M building a new middle school when the old one was only ~40 years old, solid brick, and just needed roof repairs.

the school district in my parents town is one of the smallest in the area and they built one of the largest football stadiums in the area they passed a levey to pay for it, but while this was going on they had a roof that needed replaced on the highschool, they knew this it was leaking already but they figured they wouldn't get the stadium built if they had to do it second, they waited until the next year to demand money to fix the roof.
