Causer: Participate in Census
Rep. Martin Causer (R-Turtlepoint) is encouraging everyone in Cameron, Potter, McKean and surrounding counties to participate in the U.S. Census in order to ensure the region gets its fair share of federal funding.
"The federal government decides where to invest tax dollars based on a region's population," Causer said. "People who don't participate in the census won't be counted. That means they and their families, not to mention entire communities, will miss out on funding, programs and services that could really benefit our rural region."
Census figures also affect representation in Congress and the General Assembly, and guide state government decisions on education, health care, job training and more.
"If you haven't already completed your form, please do so as soon as possible. It takes just a few minutes of your time," Causer said.
People who have misplaced their Census forms or never received them may call the U.S. Census Bureau's Questionnaire Assistance Center at 1-866-872-6868.
Forms and assistance are also available at a number of locations in McKean, Potter and Cameron counties through April 19. Contact one of Causer's local offices for information on the nearest location, or view a complete list at RepCauser.com. The Bradford office can be reached at 814-362-4400, and the Coudersport office can be reached at 814-274-9769.
