Narconon reminds families that
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) sent a
letter to U.S. Department of
Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross
today in response to a New York
Times article that reported new
measures being used to conduct the'
2020 Census could negatively
impact the population count in rural
areas of West Virginia.
Senator Manchin said in part:
"According to the New York Times
article, due to budget cuts, the
Department canceled testing in
Bluefield, West Virginia that would
have better informed how to develop
accurate population counts in hard
to count and remote rural areas.
The article also goes on to state
that the Bureau plans to use
information from the United States.
Postal Service, satellite imagery and
online surveys to make up for the
Iabor intensive work of going from
door-to-door to gather data and
ensure the Bureau is using an
accurate list of addresses for the
2020 Census.
I was alarmed to learn that only
30% of the country would be visited
by enumerators in order to gather
this information and it is unclear
which areas are included in this 30%
or the threshold that was used to
come to this percentage."
