We recieved 2 Censuses however we only returned one but did n’tsil it until the last week of April. Do we just tell the census taker that if they come?

That’s the problem. People don’t think or when they do it is about themselves!! Micheal, I didn’t know the government decisions were made in NYC. I always heard it was in DC.

It also determines how much money we get for our schools.
In other words for our children in our community for their education.

What in the world are you thinking?

Wondering why your area still has dirt roads and no street lights while the rest of the county is receiving state money for construction, fire & police services?

A lot of that stuff is determined by the Census. The Census determines how many House Of Representative Members go to Congress to represent our area.

When our representation is smaller, the folks up in NYC can dictate how much money we get for our highways, what type of federal and state resources we get for law enforcement, our soon to be much needed oil cleanup dollars and any number of things based on our population.

NOT filling out the Census is like not voting in national & local elections and then complaining when they start doing something you don’t like . . . . STUPID!

I don’t answer my front door. I don;’t now if you can even open it. My friends go the back. Insurance salesmen, meat salemen and census workers can knock until they blue in the face for all I care at the front door.
