Councilwoman under criminal investigation after we uncover trail of fraud

fter a month-long investigation, Channel 2 Action News and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution asked Georgia's Department of Revenue about Ruth Barr and B&B Accounting and Tax Service, including repeated complaints that she preyed on her tax clients.

The state immediately opened a criminal investigation, alleging Barr prepared thousands of suspicious tax returns which inflated the value of her clients' refunds.
