Put Ohio Kids First in Ohio’s Budget
The Time is NOW for Pro-Family, Pro-Business, Pro-Kid Investment.
Ohio families are struggling to get by because of rising costs and a lack of access to affordable, quality child care. It’s not only negatively impacting kids and families, it’s harming businesses and our economy which rely on a strong workforce.
It’s time for our state government to step up and pass Governor DeWine’s budget proposals to:
-
Increase access to affordable, quality child care for working families to 200% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL).
-
Implement a refundable child tax credit for working parents with young children.
Ohio can’t afford for our elected representatives to fall down on the job. The time is NOW to put Ohio kids first and invest in strong families, a strong economy, and a strong future!
The record-high cost of child care and raising a child is making it impossible for parents to be employed or fully employed, and businesses are struggling with ongoing workforce challenges.
A staggering
84% of OHIO VOTERS
support a child tax credit
including 83% of Republicans, 94% of Democrats and 78% of Independents.
Ohio's child care crisis COSTS $3.9 BILLION each year
in lost earnings, productivity
and revenue. [ReadyNation]
