California Board of Equalization Vice Chair George Runner announced a new outreach effort to California veterans in his district, including free tax help, a customized resource Webpage, and a new publication that provides veterans with information on tax exemptions and credits.

"As the proud father of a veteran, I'm very grateful for the sacrifices these courageous men and women have made," said Runner. "I encourage veterans to take advantage of these new resources, and I hope they find this service to be useful."
