Does Budgeting Transparency Increase Understanding?

Does budgeting transparency increase understanding? In a previous post we discovered that sharing the results of budgeting processes, as in spending/budgeting numbers, does not significantly contribute to citizen understanding. Raw spending data is meaningless to citizens without some sort of context to show what those numbers actually mean for their communities. So, how does the city make sense of spending data? When the city decides on spending, what factors do they consider and what information sources are they looking at?
