How do you prepare to count New York City?   In the first episode of a new monthly series, Cheryl Wills sat down with City Council Speaker Julie Menin to talk about why New York City is already prepping for the 2030 census — four years in advance.   Menin broke down how the count decides funding for hundreds of programs, shapes how much say New York gets in Congress and what's at risk if communities get missed.   #NY1 #NYC #News -------- For more on this and the latest NYC news: http://specne.ws/NY1YT Watch live news: http://specne.ws/YTliveSN Get the Spectrum News App on all your favorite devices: http://specne.ws/GetSNApp2
