“ FSSA told WFYI in an email that the cuts were necessary because former Gov. Eric Holcomb’s administration had grown the program without a sustainable funding source.”
This is so much nonsense.
The state chose to stop using CCDF funding for pre-K.
The state chose to cut taxes yet again this session instead even considering a tax increase that could have maintained or increased funding.
Don’t claim there was no other option than to cut spending. For a supposedly pro-life state, we are sure stingy it comes to actually supporting children.
Ditto for education. They’ll spend millions for committees and consultants to devise yet another school-grading system, and ignore the clear and obvious benefits of early childhood education.
Of course, the Christian Nationalist wackos calling it “government indoctrination” doesn’t help.
Outlaw abortion, promote childbearing, then strip away parental support systems. Idiotic.
Indiana. A state that doesn’t work (for us).
Indiana Republicans are like a turtle once the egg is laid the off spring is on its own to survive or not .
Maybe we need more smokers to help pay for it, the legislature and chamber would be happy for that. Or, maybe we legalize marijuana and use that $400-500M tax income.
More winning from the MAGA/GOP. Seems like half this state lives in caves and writes on rocks. Knuckle dragging from the Governor on down.
This is state supported day care. And, it was created with funds that were earmarked to stimulate the economy post-Covid. The funds were never intended to create a program that would need a consistent source of funds to survive. Marion County is still throwing around Covid funds for purposes other than for what they were intended.
1. There’s a significant difference between “daycare” and preschool.
2. Since Hoosiers generally are behind/below par on K-12 education, investing in getting kids a leg up on reading is especially valuable and important.
3. State support for working 2-parent families is exactly where our tax dollars should be going.
