Sounds familiar. So, they're going to start cheating on the census now, eh? Hope others that are in a better position than I get the same vibe from this.

``We want to do something about it, make sure every person who should be counted is counted. We're going to look in every nook and cranny in Massachusetts to count everybody who is here."

A 50% tax cut would be a whole lot more effective. ;)

"Everyone is wringing their hands about how we're losing population," said Galvin, whose office will work with researchers at the Donahue Institute at UMass to try to track hard-to-locate populations.

I'm here to tell ya,boys and girls,that the movers and shakers of this state (both in and out of politics) are *genuinely* clueless as to why this state is losing population.

But after a thorough scouring of graveyards and foreign countries far and wide,they will find a million or more additional residents.

Watch for MA to gain three Congressional seats after the 2010 Census!

Solution is very easy: get the counters dead drunk. Then everything [whatever it is] will be counted twice. Now they need to stop the payment on that 100K check to University of Massachusetts think tank, and send me my fee - something modest but decent... say, a price of a VERY good restaurant dinner.

The less congressoinal lawmakers that come from Mass along with New York, the better for the rest of the country. Now only if California would lose some congressional seats, especially from the San Fran area.

So I guess that means they've decided not to count John & Teresa.

Massachusetts is almost a textbook virus infected cell.

A virus infects the host cell. It hijacks the cell and proceeds to alter the cell and turn it into a virus factory. In the process it kills the cell and all the virii break free and flood to the neighboring cells where they infect them and repeat the process all over again.

Just replace "virus" with "leftist thought".

I remember in the 1990 census Ted Kennedy wanted to count only US citizens in the census knowing that counting everyone would hurt Mass.

If those numbers are confirmed by the 2010 federal census, Massachusetts could lose up to two congressional seats

Please, please.

Here's hopin' the entire Northeast continues to lose influence and population. Disperse the idiot liberals up there amongst the general rural population so their power is diluted.

"could lose up to two congressional seats, as well as federal money for highway, education, and development programs that are tied to population"

It is not necessarily the population that determines government largess. Ask Senator Bird how many people are in West Virginia. Washington, D.C. has no voting representation in congress but does pretty well when it comes to budgets. How much did Massachusetts contribute to the Big Dig and how much did the rest of the country hand over? California just hocks itself to the gills

Where there is senority there is bucks.

They will fix this by making a law that you can be a citizen of Massachusetts without being a citizen of the United States. Illegals will flock there.

I'm doing my part. I escaped from MA with my wife, one daughter, and two granddaughters. Now we're working on an E&E plan for our son, daughter-in-law, and another granddaughter...

You think these numb skulls would be more interested in why people are leaving and what to do about that rather than trying to tweak the numbers.
