Dollar Bill Tool: how does your city invest $1 in revenues?

This presentation is a case study of The Dollar Bill Tool, developed by Iowa State University Extension and Outreach in partnership with the Iowa League of Cities. The tool, created using Tableau, simplifies city budget data into an easy-to-understand visual format. By showing how each dollar is spent in Iowa’s 939 cities, it enhances transparency, facilitates discussions, and empowers residents, leaders, and stakeholders to make informed decisions about local priorities.
