MEDIA
ADVISORY: COUNTY LEGISLATOR
BILL BURTON AND OSSINING COMMUNITY LEADERS
RALLY AGAINST ASTORINO CHILD CARE CUTS

(Ossining, NY)
— Westchester County
Legislator Bill Burton (D-Ossining) and other community leaders will
join educators, parents, business leaders, and childcare advocates at Ossining’s Market Square on Thursday, July 15, at 6:00 pm to protest
cuts to childcare funding being made by the County Executive.

The programs that are in danger
include the Westchester County Child Care Scholarship program (created by the
Board of Legislators) and Title XX child care, a federal program that helps
countless families. In addition, the County
Executive has drastically
increased parental contributions, from 15% to 20%.

“These cuts will
disproportionately impact working families. These actions will force working
parents to choose between having to place their children in sub-standard care
or quitting their jobs to take care of their kids. Westchester
should not be about deliberately pushing working parents onto the unemployment
rolls.”
