Hello, I'm Tamra Marshall, a summer intern at the Florence County Planning Department. I've decided to contribute my two cents or more about the 2010 Census peaking right around your corner in our nation. This will be taking effect sometime in April of next year. It is highly important that EVERYONE takes advantage to be accounted for in part of not only as an American but also a South Carolinian. I will discuss what the Census is and how very important it is to everyone. Here goes ...
According to the website, 2010.census.gov, the Census is a count of every person in the United States that is held every 10 years. This is mandated by the US Constitution and is required by law that everyone to provide accurate information. The information each individual provides is protected by the federal law.
The US Census Bureau serves to collect data about the people and the economy provided that the people of this nation provide accurate and relevant information asked.
I write to you all that the Census is highly important to fill out due to how it affects everyone's way of life. From a further page from the first website, census.gov/aboutus, the Census data affects how funding is allocated to communities for: neighborhood improvements, public health, education, transportation and much more.
If the info I provided here wasn't enough for you please visit the three websites I placed at the bottom of this discussion. Thanks
TSM
