@rachbarnhart one of your prime issues as well. -
My conversation with a voter over weekend was eye-opening. $1000 a month - half her salary - for childcare. County said no subsidies left.

This one of the major reasons my son currently has no sibling. We can't afford the cost of daycare for 2 kids.
