Newport poor save $900,000 on taxes

Chase Law School student volunteers leveraged a government program to bring more than $900,000 to Newport residents.

The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program was open every Saturday from Jan. 27 to April 15 to assist low-income families in preparing tax returns and taking advantage of the earned income tax credit. More than 700 individual families - with $900,000 in refunds - were helped in Newport.
