Quote of the Day | August 30, 2019 - Oklahoma Policy Institute

“A conservative estimate of dollars associated with each person counted by the Census is $1,600 annually. For Oklahoma, with our estimated population of about 4 million, that translates to $6.4 billion a year. For every person not counted, subtract $1,600. For every person we can find and accurately report, add that same amount to funding for roads, health care and other resources.”

– Joe Dorman, Executive Director of the Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy [CNHI]
