Taxpayers are then responsible for covering the shortfall, as the funds used to repay the bonds come from public resources. This can result in increased taxes or reduced funding for other essential services and projects. The impact on taxpayers is significant. Not only do they face the immediate financial strain of higher taxes or budget cuts, but the failure of a project can also lead to long-term economic consequences.
