Adequate federal funding for broadband Internet, water systems, law enforcement and other areas vital to rural Arizona depends on residents participating fully in the upcoming U.S. census, Secretary of State Ken Bennett said Dec. 1.
“There are services that kind of develop naturally in the more populated areas of the state and many federal programs are focused on trying to accomplish those same types of things out in the rural areas,” he said.
The U.S. Census Bureau’s Phoenix office invited Bennett and other public officials to a “Spirit of Community Celebration” at which they emphasized the importance participating in the 2010 census.
