Their is no reason for them to ask how many bathrooms etc. Then there is the problem of gerrymandering the districts for false representation.Another problem I have is the millions being spent on advertising and now they are spending millions more on mailings telling you that you will be receiving the Census in the mail. That's a WASTE of money. When I called them on it I was told that there was a study done and by sending out the pre-census letter there is a better response. I forgot to ask how much was that study. If the students were being taught proper history and the reason for the census there may not be a need for the added expense.
