My town did this very thing. They haven’t even paid off the new middle school they built 10+ years ago and aren’t even taking proper care of it anymore. Then they built an $83 million high school with baseball diamonds, tennis courts, etc even though they could just use the local parks for that. To top it off, my town is not very big at all.. and they’ve hiked up property taxes because of the big waste of money in this huge high school.

Not a big waste to them, they get all the kickbacks from the contracts, they love it.
