I gave my answer. I wrote “2 residents.” Each time the enumerator came to my door for “clarification” or to apologize for assumed previous offense I said with a smile, “Two.” I refuse to be impolite to them. They are doing what they contracted for pay to do. And I did it twice, in 1990 and 2000. I do not grudge them the money though I believe it is at least 90% wasted. The Constitutional mandate can surely be accomplished with a tiny fraction of the expense that is actually incurred.
I sent the initial questionnaire back to them in March, noting that my crystal ball wasn’t working, and so I couldn’t say anything about who’d be here on 1 April.
They finally got around to leaving a note on my door with a phone number.
Since I’m a nice guy, and also because I didn’t want to be bothered, I called, told him that two people lived here, and that that was all the information I was required to provide. (I did mention that we’ve a couple of cats, who are people too...)
Anyway, he took it, and that was that, I hope.
On reflection, they already have all of this information for legal residents in one data base or another, so why bother us?
