Keeping The Pols Honest With Regionalization, Chester Smolski
Keeping The Pols Honest With Regionalization, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The New England Governor's Conference will hold a meeting in Hartford on December 6 to address regional economic issues that are common to the six states located in the northeast corner of the country.

Deemed "not the best census ever" by the New York Times, the count, as detailed by an embarrassed Census Bureau, missed between four and six million of the country's residents, an undercount even greater than that of 1980.

Census Numbers May Mean Money To Cities, Chester Smolski
Census Numbers May Mean Money To Cities, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It looks like we're nearly there. The results of America's most costly census have been announced and many cities and states are not happy with them. A possible adjustment of figures will likely do little to placate them."
