It's just what have you back with us, and appearing just day is april which is special senses that are from mike dunn is here from the hamilton county government talking about the census here in hamilton county all across america might federal census we know takes place every 10 year absolute lot people realize the importance o how it helps put money in your pocket was $675 billion available to locals that is valid is gone and for every person is not counted we lose about thousand dollars in the city of chattanooga.

About $30 million.

I last all last census and the monies used for my health departments for roads fo infrastructure for schools for planning for economic development.

There's so many reasons people to do it.

Plus it's your duty as a citizen, it is your duty as and now this year, especially the federal government is made easier than a pastor for the first time ever i were doing it online and considering coronavirus and everything's going on by the seems like a perfect onside to actually use your ipad or your desktop computer or your phone and go to 2020 census.gov i just fill it out.

I went online just that i didn't fill it up becaus i want so we can you know i do sophie and put it on at work but you can actually fill it all right no official do so again.

2020 census.gov or any new information in the census, the government is looking for this time is host to last.

I noticed some controversy about that.

Bu no, it's the same as for it's all i believe a questions i need to do it, and the standard stuf you know like are you what's your age.

How may people live i your residence.

The only thing that might make people will be queasy is asked for your phone number and the reason they're asking for her phone number is in my one resulting for one reason or fill it out online than you don't have to worry about people coming to your house knocking on your door com may or eighth and with everything is going on right no in the country.

It seems just do online like the smart thing to note, no doubt about it.

A lot of people is you i discussed previously, the kind of dock taking census it so i could be brothers watching you are tryin to maintain the secret file lik that.

This is something that is very real and very important that they be trickles down to your next-door neighbors to use specifically some of the goods and services we have available here in exactly and it's all confidential law of researching it a couple weeks ago and if a member the census wars to actually disclose information about you.

They'd be liable for a gentle up to five years so it is a real reason not to disclos short and again it is confidential.

Ps settle spend just few seconds talking about that confidentiality even if yo do, do it online is got the necessary means in place and they are sure that this is not just double secured the triple secure triple secret probation for several secret probation is how do we do last time around you.

You had about as far as getting the census time not affect and i put in on the remember if i was good.

Julie offered a competitor but i assume that everybody did because it's the responsible thing to do and it also helps your community.

For example, our population has increased since 20 10 x 27,000 on if we can help you watch people, people of hamilton county is a great plac as mayor, just as live, work an retire.

The mayor also says that if there's one thing we want to do we want to make sure we get every federal dollar.

The were entitled to.

So if you fill out out that you're helping him in his mind he can go to schools, roads or other projects, and all if we could get 20,000 more people to actually confirm that they live in hamilton county that we would be eligible annually for $800,000 in hud grants as well as her money to come here sure that one of a lo of sherwood all across or no doubt about it.

As mike mentioned he can do it online.

It is quick.

It is easy like telus website again.

It is 2020 census.gov and what you been looking at just before the graphic here was the actual invitation that should be in your mailbox in the next couple of days and according to the notes i have here hamilton county had 70 and according to the notes i have here hamilton county had 75% mail, return 2010.
