Muskegon Heights' Mayor Darrell Paige rallying residents to fill out census


Muskegon Heights' Mayor Darrell Paige rallying residents to fill out census
"After Paige finished speaking at a census rally at the Hackley Community Care Center, 2700 Baker, census workers gave out T-shirts, hats and other items printed with 2010 census slogans.
Workers also gave out census forms, which are in multiple languages, to anyone who needed them.
Forms also are available at the Muskegon Heights Library, in addition to other locations.

Shortly after giving a T-shirt to a Hackley employee, Partnership Assistant Cozette Thomas said she felt the giveaways had a good impact.

“Last year we had an event at the Muskegon Heights Festival In the Park, and a lot of people we talked to didn’t even know what the census was,” she said. “If anything else, it’s getting them to know what it’s all about.”"

Nuff said about the Heights....and lot's of free "items" from Obama.....
