Great Lakes Bay Parents' Blog Post: 2020 CENSUS: I Made Michigan $90,000 Today! Today I did something important for you, for me, and for everyone who lives in Michigan. I completed the 2020 Census. By including all five members of my family in the count, our great state will receive approximately $90,000 of federal funds over the next 10-years! It was easy and quick, only taking me 10-minutes to complete online. This money will help our children, families, veterans, and our elderly. You have the power to do something great for everyone living in our state! READ BLOG POST
