Coburn, Carper Ask Census Bureau For Answers

Senators Question Why the 2010 Census Will Not Be Held Online

Senators Tom Coburn and Tom Carper sent a letter to the Director of the U.S. Census Bureau, Louis Kincannon, requesting information on why the bureau decided this past spring to eliminate its plans to put the 2010 Census online. The senators were concerned that long-standing plans to offer the survey online were suddenly reversed without any public notice or explanation.

In June, the Subcommittee held a hearing on the same issue, read here for further background.
