Most people have received their 2010 Census questionnaire in their mailbox by now.
Please complete your form and return it promptly in the postage paid envelope. The 2010 Census will affect federal, state and local programs for the next 10 years.
It will also ensure that our states and communities receive their fair share of representation and funding. In May Census takers will begin collection information from non-responding households in a door-to-door effort. The Census Bureau saves approximately $85 million in operating costs for every percentage point increase in the national response rate. If 100% participated that's a savings of $1 BILLION.
Take 10 minutes to answer 10 questions and help to guide your community for the next 10 years. We move forward when you send it back.
Editor's Note: The city of Iowa City is spending money urging you to send in your census form so they can "qualify" for more of YOUR money, via federal tax dollars. Can you say, "Elected officials playing games with YOUR money?" Why yes, yes you can.....
