We send billions to various levels of governments--state, feds, local, etc. There are serious checks & balances to prevent outright theft/fraud. It would take several people working together to pull off the type of theft you refer to. Very unlikely to happen.
What does happen is gov officials (elected or not) pulling a scam, rather than outright theft (I know, semantics ![Dubious](https://pics3.city-data.com/forum/images/smilies/dubious.gif) ). They'll set up a friend as a vendor, then have them bill for work that was never done. Yada yada a million examples....

Hope some president can change this situation, I think people in Texas pay too much property tax.
