Day care proposal unwise

As a licensed day care provider, I am very concerned about the proposed federal budget for fiscal year 1991. The most significant change that pertains to my day care is the provision to reinstate an income report for each child.

This proposal would not only hurt me, but the families I care for also. The cost of day care would increase $10 to $15 a week per child. This would no doubt upset many parents.

The USDA program is very important. The parents feel much better about leaving their children in day care homes because of good programs like this one.

Please help us fight to keep this important program. Laurie Gardner Kidsville Day Care, Corinna
