The use of collected sales taxes varies from state to state. Often, specified portions of sales taxes are dedicated to specific uses, such as education, highways, etc. Usually, the total amount of sales taxes is not dedicated, with some of it going into a states "General Fund" to be applied as the legislature and executive branch determine.
