I don’t have a lot to say today. I just want to provide a list of financial resources available to you or those you know during this time of uncertainty:
- Relief for Taxpayers Affected by Ongoing Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic – The tax filing deadline has been pushed back to July 15. If you owe money on your taxes this year, then it may be a better idea to wait. If you’re due a refund, then filing ASAP is probably a good idea.

- Indy Parks FREE Meals – Open to all kids 18 and under in multiple locations around Marion County.

- Families First Coronavirus Response Act – This is primarily help for small business owners and self-employed individuals. These are easier to digest:
And if you haven’t seen the procedure for the coronavirus test yet, then you should go check that out. I don’t want anything to do with it.
