The House of Representatives - almost entirely along party lines - passed all 15 special session budget bills. Unfortunately, virtually all of the budget cuts to children and families are set to become law. There is still time for legislators to withdraw their attack on First Things First funding for young children - which comes from a dedicated tobacco tax and does not affect the budget deficit at all.
If you agree that First Things First is valuable to kids and families, please let your representative know! The vote for SCR 2001 (a resolution to raid early childhood funds) will be taking place TODAY at 1pm. Make your voice heard!
