By Michael Rodgers, SVGOP Central Committee Member In March 2021, President Joe Biden signed the $1.9T COVID Relief Bill into law.  While every Republican voted against this bill overall (as they should have), there are a couple of important lesser known provisions that can be very important to individual and household working class tax filers, here in the middle of “tax season.”   As California’s “most severe in the US” lockdowns drag on, our state and region continues to have some of the highest
