RECOGNIZING THE IMPORTANCE OF THE UPCOMING 2020 CENSUS AND CALLING UPON THE GOVERNOR TO ESTABLISH A COMPLETE COUNT COMMISSION.

Synopsis

This Resolution recognizes the importance of the 2020 census and calls on state and local government to commit to a complete count. Federal dollars are often based on the population count of each state and it is vitally important to ensure that the State of Delaware is fully counted to ensure accuracy in the disbursement of federal dollars. The Resolution calls upon the Governor to establish a “Complete Count Commission” for the purpose of ensuring the State of Delaware is fully counted in the 2020 census.
