Indiana Governor Mike Braun announced a significant reduction in the state’s child care voucher waitlist, which has decreased by 78% since May, dropping from 41,175 to 9,006 children.
This improvement follows a $200 million investment aimed at expanding access to child care assistance through the Child Care and Development Fund.
Nearly 48,000 children are now benefiting from these vouchers.

There are people on the waitlist who are still having to pay ridiculous amounts to private childcare places! And its either pay money they demand or parents have to miss work. There shouldnt be a waitlist still. State hates taking their greedy hands off the money.

Speaking of greedy, what do you think about expecting everyone else to pay for your childcare? Is that “greedy” or no?

Because I think that’s pretty greedy.
