Have you noticed that any social program mandates for employers do not require government entities to participate?
School Districts (Government entity):
Do NOT have to participate in FAMLI
Do NOT pay property taxes
DO receive a little more than 52% of your property taxes
CAN float bond issues (tax free)
CAN access grants that aren't available to the private industry (tax free)
CAN ask voters for Mill Levy Overrides (tax free)
Think about it:
Constitutional guarantees that protect parent choice in the K12 system can eventually help support parent choice in early care and education. Take a stand for private industry...VOTE.
It really is something to consider. We know that state funding is becoming strained (projected shortage between allowable revenue and projected expenses in the amount of $921 million). This is the perfect time to ask what services are absolutely necessary that the state provides? Statewide, what programs from any and every department can be cut back? This is the kind of business decision process that programs utilize regularly. Election year, consider the spending priorities of the people you vote for.

But we can't do it without YOU!! Our Trade Association needs every licensed provider to join to ensure that someone is working to address your needs every day with the state. If every program does their part we can accomplish so much more!
