County executive makes census appeal to Montgomery Hispanics

Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett on Wednesday pushed for all county Hispanics to participate in the 2010 census, traditionally a hard sell for immigrants — both legal and illegal — wary of drawing attention to themselves.

County officials identified the 42 most difficult areas to count residents in the region, and will reach out to church leaders, apartment complex managers and employers to ensure compliance with the April population count.
