And the process of preparing a grant proposal is a prime example of disagreement in democracy. The grant from the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency would allow the three agencies to hire specialists to work on domestic abuse, sexual abuse and child abuse cases.

Whatever the reason for applying for the grant, Wedler said Gricar manipulated the media and the Women's Resource Center.
