There are tax advantages leasing versus owning. State & local taxes can be eliminated and federal taxes can be reduced as leases are operational expenses that reduce taxable income.

Exactly! One thing we both agree upon.

Doesn't the new owner of the towers have the same tax consequences that the towers previously caused for Sprint? Won't they just pass that along to Sprint?

That would all be taken in to account with the terms of the lease. Obviously the tower company would want all their costs( + a profit) covered in the lease. So the localities aren't losing anything, but Sprint gets advantages by having the costs covered "above the line" in the lease.

But all the original tax is still being charged to the new owner and sprint will have to pay some tax. This equals more taxes overall. And the new company is going to have to collect this money, plus an additional 50% for profit. Sprint has to be going under.
