Fraud runs rampant in Census Bureau | New York Post
There’s a pattern of falsifying statistics
throughout the entire Census Bureau. And anyone who attempts to blow
the whistle on the fraud is either retaliated against or ignored,
according to two new sources who have experienced the process firsthand.
As I’ve been writing for more than six months, the Census Bureau
office in Philadelphia uncovered a case of fraud in 2010, did nothing
about it and allowed the practice to continue.
In that instance, a data collector named Julius Buckmon was faking
reports that went into the nation’s all-important jobless tally and
consumer-inflation survey.
“I can tell you that waste, falsification and fraud are rampant,” says
one of my new sources, who works as a Census supervisor in the Midwest
and handles a number of surveys, including those on jobs, health and
crime….When this source complained, higher-ups “told me to shut my
mouth.” When that didn’t happen, the source was deprived of work.
