James Norton said "Census forms are due. The Census form, the short form, is impressively short. It takes less than 10 minutes to fill out. I urge Members to help raise consciousness and raise the heat to get these forms back. I am having a job fair in my district today at the Convention Center from 4 to 10 p.m. to recruit Census enumerators at a rate of $15 to $17 per hour. It may sound like a lot, but actually, the cost to send live bodies out to count live bodies is about twice that. To save the government money, Members need to be visible in urging constituents to return their forms, and at least have a job fair for good jobs for people to help us correct the undercount." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
