The latest multi-billion-dollar ask from state lawmakers comes from child care advocates in Wisconsin.
The group Wisconsin Early Childhood Action Needed yesterday joined with a number of other advocacy groups to ask Governor Evers for two billion-dollars for child care in the next state budget. Evers has said for years that he wants to pump more money into Wisconsin’s child car system. He says without it, many child care centers will close.
The advocate said essentially the same thing yesterday. Republican lawmakers say they want to help Wisconsin’s parents find good, affordable child care options as well. But they want to open more spots at more centers, rather than simply spending more money on what’s already available.
