Child care in New York and across our country is a patchwork system that fails us as child care providers and the children, parents and communities we serve every day.
Urge Westchester Board of Legislators to Override Veto
We must tell the Westchester County Legislators to support children and youth in the 2012 Budget.
On Thursday, December 22nd, the Board of Legislators will consider overriding County Executive Astorino's vetoes of several budget items that affect child care - including $4.3 million for child care subsidy. This would make the parent co-pay 35% effective March 1, 2012.
Click here to email your County Legislator and urge them to override the County Executive's vetoes and maintain this vital funding for our children and families.
Sincerely,
