Because,
as
minneapolis
and
minnesota
knows,
with
winter,
we
got
to
talk
about
snow
emergencies
and
things
like
that,
but
let
me
stop
so
I
digress,
and
I
want
to
thank
everybody
for
coming
to
minneapolis
360
listing
today.
My
name
is
anthony
taylor.
I
am
the
african
american
community
specialist
for
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
again
it's
always
my
pleasure
to
be
able
to
be
on
air
and
be
able
to
talk
with
you
about
current
things
that
are
happening
in
minneapolis.
C
C
I
believe
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
we
had
andrew
verton
on
and
he
talked
about
the
census
already,
but
there
are
some
new
developments
around
census
information
that
I
want
him
to
talk
about,
because
it's
important
again,
we
can't
underscore
the
importance
of
being
counted
in
our
community
and
some
of
the
ramifications
of
not
being
counted.
It's
just
it's
just
that
simple
minneapolis,
because
we're
talking
about
dollars
and
we're
talking
about
10
years
and
we're
talking
about
our
children's
future,
our
community's
future.
C
So
with
this
information,
I
felt
it
was
important
to
bring
on
andrew
verton.
He
is
again
the
director
of
census,
operation
and
engagement
for
the
state
of
minnesota,
to
talk
to
us
about
some
of
those
new
development
developments
and
also
again
re-emphasize
the
importance
of
census,
and
he
did
a
great
job
last
time.
So
andrew
welcome
again
back
to
the
program,
sir,
how
you
doing
today.
A
C
C
See
you,
you
dropped
a
lot
of
knowledge
to
to
the
city
of
minneapolis
man,
so
it
was
actually
my
pleasure
because
one
of
the
things
that
I
liked
about
how
you
came
on
the
show
a
few
weeks
ago-
and
I
told
this
to
kim-
is
that
you
you
you
broke
information
down
to
where
people
can
really
understand
the
specifics
right.
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
times
that
that
folks
come
on
and
they
just
really
stay
in
the
high
level
in
the
weeds
type
information.
C
C
A
Yeah
sure
so
yeah,
because,
as
we
discussed
before,
where
kovan
came
along-
and
you
know
the
door
knockers
were
supposed
to
start
going
out
in
the
end
of
april
and
then
it
was
going
to
be
the
end
of
may
and
then
it
was
going
to
be
the
beginning
of
august.
Well,
what
that
did
is
that
pushed
back
when
the
end
of
operations
was
supposed
to
be
so
it
was
supposed
to
be
october.
A
31
was
supposed
to
be
the
end
of
when
an
individual
complete
the
form
on
their
own
or
that
someone
could
come
to
their
door.
Well,
what
we
found
out
in
the
last
couple
of
weeks
is
now
they're
going
to
cut
the
entire
month
of
october
out
of
the
field
operations,
which
means
that
we
now
only
have
until
september
30th
to
complete
our
work.
So
that's
going
to
put
a
that's,
puts
a
real
challenge
on
on
all
of
us
all
people
living
in
minnesota,
all
people
living
in
hennepin,
county,
all
people
living
in
minneapolis.
A
We
got
to
make
sure
that
we
ourselves
are
counted
by
september
30th.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
our
neighbors
are
counted
for
purposes
of
the
census.
We
got
to
make
sure
we
got
to
make
sure
we
get
counted
because,
as
you
said,
we
only
got
this
one
chance
to
get
it
right.
You
get
counted
now
or
you
get
forgotten
you
you
get
counted
now
or
or
or
you
are
left
out.
A
You
are
locked
out
for
the
next
decade
and
we're
talking
about
political
power,
we're
talking
about
financial
power
and
we're
just
talking
about
being
counted
for
purposes
of
you
know,
business
uses
the
census
information
as
well
to
determine.
Where
do
we
put
the
night?
Where
do
we
put
the
new
next
grocery
store?
Where
do
we
put
a
gas
station?
Where
do
we
put
a
restaurant
and
if
you
live
in
a
neighborhood,
where
you
get
under
counted
you're
less
likely
to
get
those
other
resources
outside
of
government
investment?
We're
talking
about
hey?
A
C
C
If,
if
I'm
a-
and
I
am
I'm
a
person
of
color-
and
that
looks
shady
to
me
right
if
it
feels
that
if
and
all
of
a
sudden
now,
this
happened
historically
to
our
communities
is
that
one
thing
has
happened
and
then
the
goal
posts
are
moved.
You
know,
so
it
feel
I
feel
some
type
of
way
about
that.
Can
you
kind
of
go
into
the
decision,
and
I
know
it
was
not
yours
or
the
state
of
minnesota,
but
can
you
talk
about
why
that
happened.
A
A
Well
when
they
pushed
back
those
field
operations
until
october
31,
they
were
counting
on
congress,
giving
them
an
extension
so
giving
them
an
extension
to
compile
all
that
data
because
they
did
not
get
that
extension
from
congress
means
that
the
census
bureau
did
not
feel
that
they
were
going
to
be
able
to
compile
all
the
necessary
information
between
october
31
and
december
31.
That's
only
that's
only
60
days,
so
that's
why
they're
cutting
that's.
A
A
All
of
that
has
the
ability
to
impact
the
quality
of
the
data
that
we
get
out
by
cutting
31
days
off
the
end
of
the
census.
We
stand
at
risk
of
under
counting
communities
which
are
historically
undercounted
anyway,
even
further.
So
that's
why
we
need
to
redouble
our
efforts
and
so
outreach
such
as
your
program
are
a
great
way
to
get
the
word
out
to
people
to
say
man.
This
is
important.
We
need
to
do
this.
We
need
to
stand
up
and
be
counted.
We're
here
we
live
here.
A
My
school
should
be
as
good
as
your
school.
My
my
the
bus
stop
in
my
neighborhood
should
be
as
good
as
the
bus
stop
in
your
neighborhood
emergency
services,
jobs
groceries
any
of
these
things,
health
care.
It
should
be
as
good
in
north
minneapolis
as
it
is
in
south
south
minneapolis,
as
it
is
in
saint
paul
as
it
is
in
duluth
we're
one
minnesota
and
we
should
all
be
treated
accordingly.
C
We
are
talking
with
andrew
verdon,
director
of
census,
operation
and
engagement
for
the
state
of
minnesota
talking
about
the
senses.
So
when
you
talk
about
the
field
operations
and
how
that's
going
to
change,
that
does,
will
the
census
takers
still
come
to
my
home.
If
I
have
not
completed
my
census
online
because
he
talked
about
maybe
field
operations,
changing.
Will
that
still
happen
with
folks
coming
out
andrew.
A
That
will
still
happen
absolutely.
In
fact,
you
may
have
seen
census
takers
out
in
your
neighborhood
already.
They
should
be
pretty
clearly
identified,
they'll
all
be
wearing
a
badge
around
their
neck.
They'll
have
a
little
black
pad
a
little
black
bag
with
the
census
logo
on
it,
they'll
be
using
like
an
iphone,
and
the
iphone
will
also
have
their
census
logo
on
it.
A
If
you
have
any
questions,
if
you
don't
think
that
they
are
in
fact
a
census
taker
or
something
you
can
ask
them
for
their
badge
number,
you
can
ask
them
for
a
phone
number
where
they,
where
they
can
be
verified,
and
they
are
required
to
provide
that
to
you.
If
you
do
not
wish
to
give
your
information
to
a
census
taker
because
of
covet
or
health
concerns,
or
you
just
don't
have
time
at
that
particular
moment,
you
can
still
call
it
in
844-330-2020.
C
Now
and
and
that's
great
information,
I've
been
in
conversation
andrew
with
alberta,
gillespie,
who
you
know
well
who's
the
project
manager
for
the
city
of
minneapolis,
and
we
have
weekly
meetings
regarding
census
and
we
we
talk
about
response
rates
and
we
talk
about
how
minnesota
is
leading
the
country
in
response
rates.
But
you
know,
as
you
dig
deeper
into
the
numbers-
and
I
want
you
to
kind
of
talk
about
this-
tell
us
maybe
some
communities
in
minneapolis,
where
the
response
rates
are
happening
that
are
maybe
lower
or
higher.
A
Absolutely
absolutely
I'm
glad
you
mentioned
that
you
know
minnesota
scores
highly
on
a
lot
of
national
national
matters,
measures
right,
whether
you're
talking
about
high
school,
graduation
rate,
college,
graduation
rate
homeownership,
low
unemployment
rates
and
such
so
overall
from
from
a
high
level.
It
appears
that
minnesota
is
doing
very,
very
well,
but
just
like
those
other
measures.
Well
so
minnesota
is
leading
the
country
in
census
response
rate
right
now.
But
when
you
start
to
dig
down,
you
start
to
look
and
say:
okay:
where
are
the
inequalities?
A
I?
I
really
truly
believe
that
the
census
is
a
matter
of
equity.
There
are
certain
neighborhoods
in
certain
communities
which
are
less
likely
less
likely
to
be
counted
so
using
minneapolis
as
an
example.
Couple
neighborhoods,
where
the
response
rate
is
low,
where
they're
more
heavily
populated
with
african
americans
right
jordan,
neither
neighborhood
hawthorne
neighborhood
around
the
university
of
minnesota
como
whittier.
These
are
all
neighborhoods
with
the
response
rate
of
right
around
50
percent.
A
Keep
in
mind
that
right
now,
minneapolis
as
a
whole
is
at
71.3
percent.
So
that
means
that
these
neighborhoods
are
about
20
percent
less
than
the
city
as
a
whole.
So
let
me
tell
you
some
other
characteristics
that
might
make
a
neighborhood
have
a
lower
response
rate
right.
Communities
of
color
is
a
big
one,
but
immigrants
non-native
english
speakers,
low
educational
attainment,
renters
renters,
is
actually
the
number
one.
A
The
number
one
predictor
of
whether
the
neighborhood
you
live
in
has
a
high
or
low
response
rate
is
how
many
renters
live
there.
If
you
live
in
a
neighborhood
with
a
lot
of
apartments
and
a
lot
of
renters
like
I
do
in
stephen
square,
the
response
rate
is
low.
If
you
live
in
an
area,
perhaps
more
affluent
area.
But
if
you
live
in
an
area
where
the
the
number
of
renters
is
low,
the
response
rate
is
higher.
A
So
like
lake,
the
isles
kenwood
neighborhood,
the
response
rates
are
very
high,
because
home
ownership
is
also
high.
General
wealth
is
very
high,
but
when
you
look
at,
like
I
said,
hawthorne
neighborhood
see
the
riverside
neighborhood
whittier
neighborhood.
The
response
rate
is
significantly
lower
in
large
part,
due
to
the
number
of
renters
in
those
areas.
B
Well-
and
I
just
want
to
reiterate
this
again-
I
know
I
can't
say
it
enough
anthony
and
every
time
probably
andrew,
the
last
time
you
were
on
I'm
sure
I
said
it,
but
I
think
a
lot
of
times,
especially
in
the
areas,
as
you
mentioned,
where
there's
a
lot
of
renters
or
in
areas
with
communities
of
colors
a
lot
of
times.
Sometimes
you.
C
B
We
allow
other
family
members
or
people
to
live
with
us
who
may
not
have
a
place
at
the
moment,
or
you
know
it's
going
through
or
whatever
and
for
whatever
reason
we
just
don't
want
it
to
get
out
that
there's
more
people
standing
there
than
they
should
right.
So
I
just
want
to
reiterate
again
to
all
of
you
listening
that
the
senses
and-
and
we
talked
about
this-
there's
a
fine
if
they
tell
this
information
it's
confidential,
so
it
doesn't
matter
how
many
people
you
have
stand
in
your
home.
That
will
not
get
leaked.
A
I
am
so
I
am
so
glad
you
brought
that
up,
because
that
is
very,
very,
very
important.
Any
information
you
give
the
census
bureau
about
yourself
about
your
household
is
confidential
for
72
years.
That
means
that
this
information
collected
for
the
2020
census
will
not
be
available
on
an
individual
basis
until
the
year
2092..
B
A
Means
your
information
is
safe,
whether
you're
talking
about
the
irs
or
the
fbi
or
ice
or
the
minnesota
department
of
revenue
or
child
protective
services
or
a
creditor
or
your
landlord,
your
neighbors,
no
one
can
anyone
else
can
get
this
information,
and
so
there
is
no
penalty
for
you,
for
you
know
giving
this
information
to
the
census.
There
is,
however,
a
substantial
fine
for
the
census
taker
for
divulging
that
information,
and
that
could
be
up
to
five
years
in
federal
prison
and
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
right.
A
B
C
And
that's
the
great
point
you
know
what's
what's
interesting
about
that
is
after
you
got
off
the
air
last
time.
Andrew
me
and
and
glam
life
had
a
conversation
about
that
right
and
and
and
she
brought
that
up
again
and
I'm
so
glad
she
did,
because
it's
not
worth
it
right,
it's
not
worth
it.
These
folks
are
are
serious
business
when
it
comes
to
collecting
census
data.
C
C
This
is
my
plug
for
for
folks
to
get
out
and
vote,
but
we
also
understand
some
of
the
shenanigans
and
for
lack
of
a
better
word
that
the
trump
administration
is
putting
out
there
right
to
divide
us
in
our
country
along
racial
lines
along
gender
lines,
religion,
everything
and
one
of
his
tactics
is
the
exclusion
of
unauthorized
immigrants
from
using
the
census
for
to
divide
up
congressional
seats.
So
kind
of
talk
to
us
about
what
that
means
for
residents
who
aren't
citizens
who
need
and
would
love
to
complete
the
census.
A
A
You
know
the
constitution
uses
the
term
citizens
half
a
dozen
times,
but
in
this
which
says
to
me
that
the
framers
of
the
constitution,
the
people
who
wrote
the
constitution
understood
what
the
difference
was
between
a
citizen
and
a
person,
and
when
they
talked
about
this,
when
they
talked
about
the
census,
they
very
clearly
use
the
term
person
or
shall
be
account
of
all
persons
living
in
the
united
states.
That
means
you,
everyone,
everyone.
Everyone
should
be
counted
as
long
as
you
were
alive
on
april
1
of
2020
this
year.
A
You
need
to
be
counted,
it
doesn't
matter.
If
you
are
a
baby,
it
doesn't
matter
if
you're
104
years
old
doesn't
matter
if
you're
a
citizen
doesn't
matter.
If
you
have
a
criminal
record
doesn't
matter.
If
you
are
behind
on
your
taxes,
it
doesn't
matt,
it
doesn't
matter.
If
you
are,
who
you
are,
what
the
status
or
station
in
life
is,
every
single
person
shall
be
counted
by
the
census.
A
Now
I
know
that's
a
lot
easier
said
than
done,
and
I
understand
that
for
a
lot
of
people
they
may
have
trepidation
giving
this
information
to
to
the
government.
The
reality
is
that
the
constitution
is
very,
very
clear.
It
says
that
all
persons
shall
be
counted
and
that's
what
we
want
in
minnesota
too.
A
We
want
all
people
in
minnesota
all
people
in
minneapolis
all
people
in
your
neighborhood
to
get
counted,
and
you
can
be
helpful
in
that
regard
not
only
filling
out
the
form
yourself,
but
as
we
get
closer
to
that
september,
30th
deadline,
a
census,
taker
may
come
to
you
anthony
and
say
you
know,
anthony
a
knock
at
your
door.
You've
already
filled
out
your
form.
I
know
you
have
anthony
because
we've
talked
about
this.
A
The
census
taker
could
come
to
your
door
and
say:
excuse
me,
I'm
looking
to
get
some
information
about
about
your
neighbor.
Do
you
know
was
that
house
occupied
on
on
april
1st?
Do
you
know
how
many
people
were
living
there?
You
know
oh
yeah,
there's
two:
two
men,
a
man,
a
wife
and
a
small
child.
What's
approximately
their
age,
they,
the
sense
of
taker,
might
ask
you
some
some
very
broad
information
about
that
about
that
person.
The
census
taker
has
been
unsuccessful.
Getting
that
information
you
can
provide
that
information.
A
You
don't
have
to
give
a
name.
You
don't
have
to
give
personal
identify
information
about
that
person,
but
that's
one
way
that
you
can
help.
You
can
help
make
sure
that
it
gets
counted,
because
if
you
anthony
don't
give
the
census
that
that
particular
bit
of
information,
the
census
might
just
say,
okay
boom,
we'll
just
we'll
just
say
that
no
one
lives
in
that
house.
A
Well,
the
reality
is,
it
could
be
actually
a
three
generation
family
of
10
or
11
people
who
are
living
there,
and
it's
better
that
the
sense
of
bureau
get
a
little
bit
of
information
about
that
home
or
about
that
residence.
Then
that
the
census
bureau
walks
away
and
says
yep.
Nobody
lives
there,
because
that
that
I
fear
anthony.
A
You
know
it
results
in
things
like
so
may
so
so
maybe
you
don't
have
a
fresh
food
available
right.
Maybe
it
means
there
aren't
good
jobs
available.
Maybe
the
transportation
options
require
that
you
have
to
connect
via
downtown
or
you
have
to
wait,
20
or
30
minutes
between
buses,
because,
according
to
the
census,
zip
code,
55411
55412
lost
7,
123
people.
A
I
I
don't
believe
that
that
was
actually
the
case.
I
don't
believe
that's
actually
the
case
so
very
important
that
we
get
the
account
right.
What
happened?
What
happened
after
the
last
census
is
north
minneapolis
lost
one
city
council,
member
on
city
council
right.
We
have
13
members
of
the
city
council
minneapolis
up
until
2010
north
minneapolis
had
three
representatives
now
north
minneapolis
only
has
two.
That
means
there's
one
fewer
person
at
city
hall,
who's
fighting
for
resources
for
north
minneapolis.
C
That's
and
that's
a
that's
a
great
point,
andrew
I'm
glad
you
said
that,
because
that
those
are
folks
that
that
that
speak
for
community
you
know,
and
as
we
talk
about
some
of
the
many
issues
that
are
happening
in
our
in
our
city,
we
need
those
voices
in
city,
council
and
especially
some
of
the
upcoming
things
like
police
reform
and
also
the
issues
around
38th
and
chicago
right.
I,
I
think
that's
just
a
beautiful
way
that
you
describe
that
because
now
we're
down
one
voice
in
government
for
community.
C
So
I'm
really
glad
you
say
that
and
as
we
run
up
against
the
clock
andrew,
I
want
you
to
talk
about
this.
This
just
one
thing,
and
you
did
this
so
well
and
again,
minneapolis
I.
I
know
we've
talked
about
the
senses
before,
but
if
you
haven't
listened
to
andrew
the
first
time
and
you
listen
to
him
again,
this
is
one
of
the
most
important
things
that
that
that
he
has
said
before,
and
it's
about
the
dollars
that
are
that
are
allocated
for
census,
because
the
census
tells
the
story.
C
A
That
means
we're
talking
about
twenty
eight
thousand
dollars
per
person
per
decade
on
the
basis
of
the
census
count,
and
that's
for
things
like
snap
wic
s,
chip
this
is
about
pre-reduced
lunch
programs.
This
is
about
transportation,
assistance,
programs
about
job
training,
programs,
ged
programs,
education,
roads,
transportation,
hospitals,
unemployment,
events.
All
these
things
are
all
tied
to
the
census.
A
So
that's
a
lot
of
money
now
keep
in
mind
twenty
seven
hundred
ninety
six
dollars
per
person
per
year.
That
does
not
include
money
that
saint
paul
might
also
appropriate
on
the
basis
of
the
census.
Count
that
does
not
include
money
that
the
hennepin
county
may
also
appropriate
on
the
basis
of
the
account
that
does
not
include
money
that
the
city
of
minneapolis
might
also
assign
to
say:
well,
the
jordan
neighborhood's
going
to
get
such
and
such
dollars,
because
we
got
so
many
people
right.
So
it's
important
that
we
all
get
counted.
A
B
You
know
not
right
off
hand.
I
know,
we've
touched
this
a
lot
of
times
and
I'll
just
you
know
want
to
reiterate
to
our
listeners
again.
This
is
very
important.
You
guys,
when
you're
wondering
why
your
neighborhood
doesn't
look
or
why
you
don't
have
parks,
or
all
these
you
know
different
things
that
can
enhance
the
neighborhood
and
you're
looking
at
other
people's
neighborhood
like.
Why
do
they
have
it?
Well,
maybe
because
they
have
more
people
filling
out
their
census
form.
So
I
just
you
know,
want
to
reiterate
again
the
importance
of
getting
these
completed.
A
So
you
folks
can
still
go
to.
You
can
call
844-330-2020
seven
days
a
week
from
six
a
six
a.m
to
one
p.m,
which
is
terrific,
there's
also
my
2020
census.gov.
You
can
go
online,
you
can
fill
that
out
and
if
you
don't
do
either
one
of
those
you
can,
you
can
expect
that
a
census
taker
will
come,
knocking
to
your
door
now
they'll
be
wearing
a
mask,
they'll
have
their
badge,
they'll,
have
their
little
bag,
they'll
be
social
distancing
and
they
can
help
you
complete
the
form
in
person.
C
C
C
B
C
I
mean
kim,
we
can't
talk
about
it
enough
right
when
we,
when
we
talk
about
census
and
how
it's
important
and
if
you
just
look
at
the
dollars
and
the
timeline-
and
I
know
there's
so
many
other
things
going
on
in
our
community-
that
we
are
worried
about.
They
were
worried
about
and
you
know,
in
a
pandemic
and
with
you
know,
children
still
not
able
to
go
to
school
in
minneapolis
until
maybe
possibly
2021.
B
It
is,
and
you
know
I
think,
that
you
know
it's
a
hard
one,
but
even
with
that,
I
know
for
some
people.
It's
like.
Let's
not
just
think
about
yourselves,
though
we
got
to
think
about
our
babies
and
you
know
our
future
because
just
to
think
right
now
we
think
the
cost
of
living
is
high,
but
just
to
think
you
know,
10
years
from
now
how
high
it's
going
to
be
so
you
know
every
little
penny
counts.
C
C
So
I
want
to
make
sure
I
get
this
information
out
to
to
folks
before
we
get
out
of
here
and
that
there
is
a
free
covert
testing
site
next
tuesday
august
25th
at
pika
head
start
the
mcknight
early
childhood
center
development
center
at
4225
third
avenue
south
all
people
are
welcome
to
this
event.
It
is
free
testing,
there
will
be
somali
spanish
and
hmong
interpreters
will
be
on
site.
C
The
good
thing
is
that
you'll
be
able
to
get
your
results
in
two
days.
It
is
free.
You
can
drive
up,
you
can
walk
up.
It
is
really
really
important
that
folks
know
this
information
about
where
they
can
go
to
get
tested.
Again.
It's
free.
It
is
at
pike
ahead,
stipe
starting
ignite
early
childhood
family
development
center
4225,
third
avenue
south.
So
folks,
please
get
out
there.
If
you
need
to
get
tested,
it
is
free.
C
C
It
is
not
a
long
wait
and
I'm
glad
you
said
that
too,
it
is
from
11
to
7.,
and
the
way
they
had
it
set
up
kim
and
minneapolis
is
that
it
was
really
really
your
wait
time
and
I
was
there
for
most
of
the
day.
Your
wait
time
was
really
just
about
maybe
from
two
to
five
minutes:
okay,
that
folks
can
get
in
there
and
get
tested,
and
you
can
you
can
bring
your
babies,
you
can
stand
your
car,
you
can
walk
up,
but
it's
free
so
and.
