Thursday’s open line


I got a letter in the mail on Tuesday from the US Census Bureau informing me that I would be receiving a census form next week.

Although I question the necessity and the cost of sending me a letter telling me that I’m going to get a letter, I do not question the need for all Vance County residents and all North Carolinians to complete this decade’s head count. As you probably already know, our portion of federal dollars and our representation in the US Congress is determined by this count. The more accurate the count, the more likely we are to get our fair share of our tax dollars back out of Washington.

And it’s something to do as a family.

Here’s your open line.
