All types of government like to play Santa with your tax dollars. Politicians give your money to organizations that you didn't vote for and no one asked if you wanted to. You might call it the Santa Scheme. They try to skirt the Wyoming Constitutional provision prohibiting hand outs through what they call, "Service Contracts." But it's always for some allegedly benevolent purpose. If it's such a great cause, why don't elected officials write the check themselves?
Another way they pull this gag is they say, "We found some money in our budget." As if any of them really don't know what's in there in the first place. Here's how it works, at budget time, they tell you they have to have your cash. Then, they don't spend it as intended only later to claim that it was "found."
But if they don't spend it for what they told you, do they really need it in the first place? Nope!
