Day Care Crisis

According to a news release sent out today (Feb. 27) Monroe County Executive, Jack Doyle said that the county will be able to restore the subsidies currently needed to help low income families continue to receive day care services. Just one week ago, 1,300 families were told they would no longer have day care assistance from the county due to a budget shortfall.

The County Executive praised Governor Pataki for providing funding to restore the subsidized income-eligible day care slots in Monroe County. “The restored subsidies provide another year of assistance for families to get back on their feet and reach self sufficiency,” said Doyle.

Doyle called the Governor the “real hero” in this announcement. “The State’s willingness to work with us and offer assistance will make a huge difference to 1,300 children in Monroe County.”
