Hate NoMi's roads? Want better schools? Get counted.

So we loathe the suddenly accelerated Census response deadline of Sept. 30, 2020. Seeing as it’s tough to accurately count people in normal times, forcing a faster count during a pandemic strikes us as silly and, well … a bit scary. Money for our schools, roads, and social programs are on the line here. And, red alert, y’all: If we miss counting folks, the amount of federal funding (you know, the money your pay the Feds in taxes) Michigan stands to lose is $1,800 per person … per year … for the next 10 years. Which brings us to our latest love: www.NorthwestCounts.com, where you can log on to answer nine quick questions and ensure you and yours are counted. And no, it doesn’t matter whether you’re a permanent or seasonal resident, a renter, a college student, or an immigrant; you count. And counting you helps our entire community.
