Which are powers that can be granted to cities and towns?

a. appropriating money
b. making expenditures
c. collecting taxes
d. all of the above

D

Explanation:

If I remember correctly appropriation is setting aside something for its application to a particular use. If that was the correct definition then D should be the answer? (I learned this years ago so I'm exactly sure if this answer is 100% correct.)

the answer is solomon northrup. he was a free-born african american, abolitionist and professional violinist that was drugged, kidnapped and sold as slave in 1841 and remained in captivity until 1853 where he regained his freedom with the of the then-governor of new york, washington hunt. he wrote and published his memoirs "twelve years a slave" in 1853, and in this text, he tells the story of his escape thru one of louisiana's swamps (the great pacoudrie swamp) in which he ended up covered in green slime from crossing the surface of the dead water.
