Brooklyn Census Workers Fake 10,000 Forms
It is alleged that Alvin Aviles and Sonya Merritt used the Internet and phone books to obtain information to fill out census forms for thousands of homes in Brooklyn. Census workers are paid $25 an hour to stop at homes and interview occupants. Aviles and Merritt allegedly told their team members to get the information or don’t come back to work. Seven employees left and became whistle blowsers. Aviles, who also worked the 2000 Census says that he was falsely accused for his work at the Brooklyn LCO 2225 Census office.
The forms are being redone and apparently errors have been found in 4000+
Next time the government decides to do the census, maybe they should ask employees to sign off on a sheet saying they won’t discuss office issues online. (Brooklyn census workers comment on census blog).
