Locke Says 2010 Census 'Will Not Be Politicized'


Author: Lois Romano

A Q&A with Commerce Secretary Gary Locke. Asked about the upcoming census, he says: "Well, for the first time, we will be sending our forms in different languages and specifically in Spanish. So populations, communities with a large Hispanic population, will actually receive a census questionnaire. We're going to be very specific. From past information, we know, for instance, in which parts of Houston there's a large Vietnamese population. We know where in Los Angeles . . . in the Southwest, we have large populations, blocks of Hispanic families, and so we're going to be very strategic and very targeted."
