Access to reliable and trusted childcare is crucial for working families and their children's development. This morning, I joined Spectrum News to discuss a motion that will be voted on at the Tuesday, February 18, Board of Supervisors meeting to help with recovery efforts for the hundreds of childcare providers who were displaced by the recent wildfires. Check out my discussion with Kelvin Washington and join the Board meeting tomorrow to share your public comment on this item (41-B) here: https://t.co/NJEcZWn02h

JUST NOW: @CASpeakerRivas (D-Hollister) and Senate President Pro Tempore @ilike_mike (D-Healdsburg) announce budget proposal they vow will “build housing and reject many social services cuts.”

The proposal would save approximately half of CA’s reserves, per Rivas and McGuire.

The continued resistance to adopting long-term revenue solutions puts corporate profits over families.
