Lake Worth (Beach) falling behind in Census

The Census League Month 3 will report out on September 21, but I wanted to encourage you not to let anyone be census suppressed. It is imperative to have every human respond. Too many of our Palm Beach County municipalities appear not to be participating in the 2020 Census and that will leave us undercounted, underfunded, and underrepresented for an entire decade!
Notice the trend of the poorest cities --at the bottom--with a large immigrant population that needs the money the most. But we've done it to ourselves by encouraging illegal immigration and voting to be a "welcoming city," basically the same thing as a sanctuary city  This passed on a 4/0 vote (Triolo absent) in April 2018. I blame the commission for falling into the Omari Hardy trap.

By mailing in your completed census, it will bring money to the Lake Worth Beach community and programs like schools, roads, healthcare, Medicare/Medicaid, assistance, unemployment, small businesses, and many more for the next 10 years.
