It All Starts With An Informed Citizenry
A sustainable community’s success depends upon its members’ commitment and involvement through active, organized, and informed citizenship. It also needs inspiring, effective, and responsive leadership, as well as responsible, caring, and healthy community institutions, services, and businesses. The budget reflects all of this. That is why we need to understand both the budget process and the way in which taxpayer dollars are allocated.
