About the City
The reason the 2010 Census is an important issue for our community because it determines a lot to things;
· It will determine the number of seats each state has in the House of Representatives,
· It also will use the totals to determine how the Indiana Legislature redraws (gerrymanders) its legislative districts.
· The totals also affect funding for our community, approximately $300 billion in federal funding is comes to communities like ours and the amount is dictated by the numbers produced by the Census
· The Census numbers are also used to track how our community is changing demographically and numerically.
The 2010 Census will be a short form consisting of 10 questions and everyone is expected to do their part and complete the census.
The census is completely confidential your answers are protected by law (Title 13 of the United State Code Section 9). "It is illegal for the Census Bureau, or any its employees, to share your personal information with any other governmental agency---not law enforcement, not the IRS, not welfare, not the FBI, not Immigration, no courts of law, not even the President of the United States can access your individual responses".
All Census Bureau employees are subject to a $250,000 fine and/or a 5 year prison term for disclosing any information that could identify a respondent or household.
We (as a community) have been asked to help by forming a Complete Count Committee (CCC). The CCC is a volunteer committee established by a state, and local government to increase awareness about the census and motivate residents to respond.
We need as many people as we can to be involved with the CCC, we need bank tellers, firemen, ministers, co-workers, union people, non-union people, farmers lawyers, insurance agents, realtors, teacher, absolutely anyone interested in helping promote involvement in filling out the Census.
The Logansport Cass County Planning Department Assistant Planner Director Arin Shaver will be working with the CCC to help our community become aware and prepared to complete the Census in October of 2010.
This is an important issue for Cass County on every level of government. Volunteer for the Complete Count Committee by contacting Arin Shaver, Assistant Planning Director, at the Logansport/Cass County Planning Department 753-7775 or email her at arin.shaver@co.cass.in.us .
There are several meeting being planned so watch for times and locations in the newspaper and on the radio.
