Budget action

California still doesn't have a 2007-08 budget, which means some early care and education programs aren't getting the funds they need to stay open. Senate Republicans refuse to vote for the current budget unless it includes $1 billion in additional cuts.

The California Child Development Administrators Association is calling on advocates to contact Republicans about the impact of the budget delay on child care programs, staff, parents, and children -- and to urge them to vote yes on the Assembly budget.
