Show Notes
Washington Democratic lawmakers propose significant cuts to day care subsidies for low-income families, affecting over thirty-three thousand enrolled families. The plans, differing between the House and Senate, aim to save millions by tying reimbursements to actual child attendance. Providers express concern over income loss due to inconsistent attendance, while Democratic leaders argue the changes impact providers more than families. The cuts are part of a two billion dollar shortfall, marking the second year of reduced child care and early learning funds. Lawmakers have two weeks to compromise on a supplemental budget before the session ends.
