Now You Know - Spending Public Money
Wondering whether your township can spend money on an activity? Townships need statutory authority to spend public money. Why all the restrictions? Because it’s ‘other people’s money’. If you can’t point to a law authorizing the use of public funds on a particular activity then it’s an “unlawful expenditure”. This webinar, featuring MTA Staff Attorney Catherine Mullhaupt, will review the general guidelines and offer specific examples of lawful and unlawful expenditures—all in just one hour!
