Speakers say a fuller census count would bring more resources to Aurora schools, hospitals and businesses
Summary
Speakers at an outreach event argued that a more complete census would increase resources for schools, hospitals and local businesses, and urged residents and business owners to be counted.
Speakers at the Aurora outreach event said a fuller census count would translate into increased resources for schools, hospitals and other city services. Presenter (S1) told attendees, "Los fondos son muy importantes porque, por medio del censo, la ciudad recibe fondos que van a ayudar las escuelas, ayudan a los servicios públicos que recibimos como ciudad."
A resident (Resident (S2)) framed the argument in economic terms, saying businesses and workers would benefit: "también las personas que tienen sus negocios aquí y que tienen o que trabajan aquí en Aurora, porque más recursos recursos para la comunidad iguala a una mejor ciudad." The speakers presented the argument as part of outreach; they did not provide budget figures or a formal fiscal analysis during the meeting.
As in the rest of the session, the speakers closed with appeals for participation. Resident (S2) said, "Que tengan la confianza, que hagan esto, sean contados para tener una aurora mejor," linking a complete count to community improvements.
