Marion Council OKs Federal Census for City
The Marion City Council authorized a federal census to be taken in the fall at a cost of 2105 dollars, with 1005 paid upfront and 1100 locally for enumerators and staff. Officials estimate population gains could boost motor fuel taxes by about 5000 dollars yearly, offset by possible fire department staffing needs. The action aims to confirm Marion as the region’s largest city south of Mt. Vernon to spur business, retail growth, and tax revenue.
