“The census is so important because of the money the state receives due
to each person being counted. Our jobs are dependent on that, especially in
New York with the amount of people leaving the state. It’s more important in
New York than probably anywhere else.
I think it impacts everything in our school districts, with the amount of
money we get back from the state, even at the federal level. [The census]
just impacts everything. Being counted in the census is so important for our
jobs, our income and the services we provide.”
