Civics education grant and public understanding
Summary
The museum won a $9,000 civics education grant to teach how city government works through local stories — prompted in part by a resident at a budget meeting shouting 'no taxation without representation' at an elected body. Board members see real confusion in the community about how budgets and levies work.
