No one who works full time should have to raise their family in poverty. The Earned Income Tax Credit pulls working families out of poverty and yet 15-20 percent of eligible families in Los Angeles do not claim it. If elected to the City Council, I will work with Mayor Garcetti and private sector partners to boost LAs participation in the EITC. Earlier today, I attended Garcettis launch of the Investing in Working Families campaign. For 2014, the EITC can offer refunds of up to $6,143 for low and moderate-income families with three or more children. This could pump an estimated $200 - $300 million into LAs economy, strengthening local businesses. For more information, visit: FreeTaxHelpLA
