Thank you for the information on Navigator Programs. I was not aware of this activity and I'm glad to see these efforts. Voters should contact their local elected officials to try and get more of these programs in place - a long-term goal. It's frustrating when people who are ignorant about the issues and problems (i.e., Elon Musk) think that the goal should be to cut billions out of the Federal budget. I helped to set up and run an IRS program, VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance), when I was a university professor. It not only helped taxpayers but it also helped the student volunteers gain experience of preparing tax returns, but also experience dealing with people of all ages, races and backgrounds. The law clinics that law schools run also serve this purpose. I think we need a lot more of these types of programs, especially on college and university campuses - more civic involvement.
