Census 2010!
In March you should receive the questionaire from the US Census Bureau. This is the regular census held every ten years and all Americans should be counted. The census is critical to the Village of Wonder Lake. The village receives shared tax revenue from the State of Illinois. This amounts to about $100 per resident. If you are not counted, the village looses this money and it must be made up for by either cutting services or increasing taxes. Please fill out the SHORT 10 QUESTION survey to ensure you are counted. For more information you may choose to visit the census bureau website at http://2010.census.gov/2010census/.
