Why it is Vital that YOU Complete the Census
There has been much discussion, and a fair amount of controversy, about the 2020 Census; however, putting all the politics to one side, there are some REALLY important reasons why everyone in Tahoe, especially YOU, should complete the census. Firstly is the issue of government funding. Funding allocations for fire departments, hospitals, schools, roads, block grants for mental health services, the SNAP food program and over 100 other vital resources are based on census numbers. Here in Tahoe, each person counted in the census equates to app. $2000 in government funding. So if you don't fill out the census - that is $2000 LESS coming to our community EVERY year for a decade.
