We need your help in shaping our community’s future by participating in a historic event – the 2010 Census. Census data directly affects how more than 400 billion dollars per year in federal funding is distributed to local governments. Every person in McKinney who doesn’t fill out the form costs the city more than $10,000 in funding that could help schools, hospitals and roads in our city. Everyone in McKinney and across the nation will receive a short, 10-question census form in the mail this month. Participation in the census is easy, important and safe. Simply fill it out and mail it back – even the postage is prepaid. The Census cannot share your answers with anyone, and the form only takes about 10 minutes to complete. Every person living in the United States must be counted – both citizens and non-citizens. Help McKinney by participating in the 2010 Census.
