Look at New York city...

Reminds me about the issue in New York city. So they could
build a cell phone E911 network the city applied a extra taxed
on cell phones. Sadly a few years ago when their boat was going
down two boys called into 911 but, they couldn't be located. The
outcome of the investigation was the city took the tax money (in
the millions) spent it on other things not building the E911
network. The city had been doing that with the money for many
years. After that finding one of the parents sued the city; don't
know the final outcome.

According to the national news reports the city justified their
need to spend the money on other areas rather than their
original intent for a E911 cell network.
