This Week's Program: Brenda Steppe with the U.S. Census Bureau was present. She emphasized the importance of EVERYONE completing the ten question form being mailed to homes in March. The government uses this information to determine funding for states and counties. The number of House of Representative seats is also determined by population. The enumerators (door-to-door data collectors) can also update addresses during this process. So, complete your census forms!
