2010 Census The following link(s) will open in one new tab or window. Should you have any questions regarding this article, please follow the specific contact information provided. I don’t think that we can emphasize enough how important this year’s census is. The census will be used to determine how much funding the state and local communities get from the federal government for important federal, state, and local programs and services. It will also impact political representation at the federal and state level as well as in many localities. Getting an accurate count is the only way to insure that we receive the level of services our tax dollars are going to fund and that we have the proper level of representation in government. It is up to everyone to do their small part by making sure their census forms are filled out accurately once they are received after being mailed out in March. There are many options for you to participate in making sure this year’s census is completed quickly and accurately. These options range from simply making sure that you fill out your own census form promptly and accurately to getting more involved through local community groups or by working directly for the U.S. Bureau of the Census. New York State and the federal government have both set up web pages to help you get involved in the census process and to answer any questions you may have about the census. Information on the census in New York State and how to participate is available at: www.empire.state.ny.us/nysdc/Census_2010/ For more general information about the census visit: www.2010.census.gov/2010census/
