And as tax filing season kicks into gear later this month, low-income filers could face some refunding obstacles. Those who qualify for certain tax credits may have to wait longer than usual for the money. Plus: a look at how the Canadian greenhouse industry is trying to keep Lake Erie pollution-free.
