Finally, there are three financing entities <br />available to the Board to provide the services, i.e., the general <br />fund, municipal services taxing or benefit units ("MSTU"s or "MSBU"s), <br />and special taxing -or assessment districts. <br />(1) The following chart indicates the financing entities and . <br />jurisdictions in which ad valorem taxes can be raised: <br />79 <br />
