I think that in order to provide the bonds with dedicated revenue to make them marketable, they shifted some spending that the hotel / tourist taxes had been paying for to financing from general revenues.  I think that was in the Yahoo piece linked  below.  If so, then they really did end up just extracting at least some of the funs from Miami / dade citizens.
