St. Patrick's Day without a pub in sight -- Peter Donegan reports in from the Irish countryside. Legislative updates with the League of Women Voters and Action Utah. Census2020 update. Living the Circle of Life and Native American voting rights.

Tonight's lineup:

Tim Olson, associate director of field operations for the U.S. Census Bureau. By March 20, households will receive the first of several invitations to participate in the 2020 Census. Everyone can respond right now by visiting 2020census.gov.

  • The invitation will also include phone numbers for English and 12 additional languages, ensuring over 99% of U.S. households can respond over the phone in their preferred language. Telephone assistance is available seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 2 a.m. EDT for those who prefer to respond by phone.
  • Census results help determine how billions of dollars in federal funding flow into states and communities each year, as well as how many seats in Congress each state gets.
  • By law, the Census Bureau cannot release any identifiable information about you, your home, or your business, even to law enforcement agencies. That's protected under Title 13 of the U.S. Code.
