It's mandated in the Constitution - every ten years we must count the number and location of the people living within the US so that we can have fair and equitable representation in Congress.  But it's more that that - the census numbers also determine the amount of state and federal funding communities will receive.  Information from the census helps shape decisions for the next ten years about public health, neighborhood improvements, transportation, education, senior services, and the list goes on.

On the next Another View we'll talk about the 2010 Census - what it means, why we do it, and why it is critical that you participate.  Plus, we'll find out about the Best Kept Secret in Hampton Roads.  Join us for Another View, Friday, January 15 at 9P on WHRO-TV.

Both the House and the Senate have passed respective versions of healthcare reform, and now the tough part begins - bringing together the best of both bills into a comprehensive plan to ensure that all Americans have access to affordable healthcare.  On the next Another View, we'll talk with Congressman Bobby Scott about his views on healthcare reform, and what he considers "sticking points" to a compromise.  We'll also get details about the Youth PROMISE Act, a bi-partisan bill introduced by the Congressman, designed to move at- risk youth away from the "cradle to prison" track.  And Lisa Godley brings us a conversation with television personality Al Roker.  It's all on Another View - on our new night - Friday, January 8, 2010 at 9P on WHRO-TV, digital 15.1.
