Cordray & U.S. Senator Brown encourage use of Earned Income Tax Credit

( Columbus )--Ohio Treasurer Richard Cordray says thousands of Ohioans have a thousand-dollar check waiting for them to cash….if they knew where to find it.

Ohio Governor Ted Strickland announced today that the Governor's Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives has launched a statewide effort to provide free federal and Ohio income tax return assistance to Ohioans with household incomes below $54,000 per year.

The assistance is offered through The Ohio Benefit Bank – a free service that provides help for low and moderate-income Ohioans to claim tax credits and other work support benefits.

Ohio Treasurer Richard Cordray and Ohio Senator Tim Grendell today joined forces to push for quick passage of Senate Joint Resolution 5, the Veterans' Service Bonus Amendment.

In a press conference with Senator Grendell prior to offering proponent testimony before the Senate Finance Committee, Cordray outlined the significance of the Service Bonus Amendment.
