Positives

Special taxing districts have some positive aspects.

Special taxing districts provide a means for citizens to obtain needed services by overcoming the funding obstacles (political and financial) often associated with general purpose government.

Government administrators working within a special taxing district environment do not have to adopt a “spend it or lose it” attitude with regard to their revenues. Funds are dedicated to a specific use and cannot be diverted and used for another purpose.
