FY11 Budget Update: Voices' 4-Tiered Approach

March 5, 2010--Breaking news at today's Voices for Illinois Children Kids Count Symposium -- early childhood advocates are asking for support in working to solve budget woes and structural  deficit in the following ways:

  1. Advocate for a continuation of federal funding
  2. Work on cuts and reforms
  3. Ask for revenue enhancements
  4. Borrow

We need a balanced approach, and a combination of strategies to solve our state's problem.


Don't forget to voice your support of early childhood programs in Illinois by entering comments on the Governor's website!
