This is the point noone managed to get over to the voters. When C was being formulated, the rats were asked, no begged, to insert provisions in C committing the funds to roads, bridges, schools etc. They allowed only a non-binding, wishy-washy, statement of intentions.
Of course, the reason they would not commit is that they control the legislature and have no intention of spending the money on sensible stuff. If they did, then they wouldn't have any reason to come back to the voters in a few years and ask for more money for roads, bridges, schools etc.
