Does it make sense for the government to mail letters telling us our Census forms are on the way?
Does it make sense for the government to mail letters alerting all U.S. households that they’ll their Census questionnaires are on the way?
LIONEL GARRETT, Dayton: “No. That’s duplication of effort. If you’re going to send it out in another week, just send it. Don’t waste the postage.”
MICHAEL WELLBAUM, Beavercreek: “Yes. It gives notice that they can expect the Census form in the mail, and if they fill it out and return it, no one will come to their house. And then, if someone comes to your house, you know they’re bogus.”
KAREN MOORE, South Vienna: “No, because we are a nation in debt, and yet they spend whatever money it costs to send out a letter saying you are going to be receiving the Census.”
JOHN BEATTY, Riverside: “No. I don’t think it’s necessary. People will do what they want to do with the Census, no matter whether they get this letter or not.”
KENNETH BREWER, Caesarscreek Twp.: “That’s just ridiculous. It serves no purpose. … They feel they have to do something, but they lose sight of what their purpose is — taking the Census.”
