Rep. Henry Cuellar speaks out on importance of participating in 2020 Census

Laredo's U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar spoke to constituents at the Joe A. Guerra Public Library on Tuesday about the importance of participating in the 2020 Census.

"In order to continue receiving necessary federal funds for both public and private projects, it is vital that everyone in Laredo receive and complete the U.S. Census in 2020 to ensure that all Laredoans are properly accounted for," Cuellar is quoted as saying in a news release. "As always, all responses will remain confidential."

The U.S. Census Bureau co-hosted the workshop with Cuellar.

Cuellar also held a roundtable Tuesday afternoon with some of Laredo's restaurant owners at Palenque Grill.

Before the meeting began, Cuellar said he was there to speak with them about tax reform, and how small businesses can be helped as Congress mulls changing tax laws.
