HOLLAND, MI (WHTC-AM/FM, Apr. 9, 2026) – Governor Whitmer spotlighted reading literacy, in her State of the State address six weeks ago, as a goal for her final year in office. As the federal and state income tax filing deadline of next Wednesday nears, financial literacy takes center stage at this time.
The rise of inflation nationally over the past two-plus years, along with increasing unemployment and decreasing job creation, has added to the burden of many who are trying to make ends meet, living paycheck to paycheck, and being just one emergency away from insolvency. This has made the work of those looking to help those in need, such as Alicia Beene, Financial Wellness Program Manager with Holland-based Community Action House, all the more challenging.
Resources for those seeking financial guidance are available through the Community Action House’s website.
