Just look at the items folks at the Early Education for All (EEA) campaign found worthy of state funding:You read that right, ten times the administrative costs for a program that probably won't serve nearly enough kids in poverty.
- $12.5M for the subsidized child care provider salary rate reserve
- $10.9M for the Department of Early Education and Care's administrative account
- $1.3M increase for Resource and Referral Agencies
- $1M increase for Head Start
- $1.5M for Professional Development
For those of you counting, that's $24.9M for administration, salaries, and professional development compared with $2.3M that may actually flow to the families who need it.

My favorite part:
Child-care workers are now called “educators.”
Let it be so! What a circus!
