Perriello Talks Up The Census

Reported by Kasey Hott

Congressman Tom Perriello took a break from Washington and visited Greene County Saturday to stress the importance of the 2010 Census. 

Perriello stopped at the library in Stanardsville to encourage people to fill out the census forms and to highlight the many jobs that the census bureau has to offer in central Virginia. Perriello says, "So many things in our community - funding for schools, for seniors, political boundaries - are all affected by making sure we have a good, accurate count of the American people." 

The Census will create 1,100 temporary jobs in central Virginia over the next few months.
