"Governor eliminates child care for 80,000 children and jeopardizes employment for tens of thousands of working parents and child care providers.

On Friday, October 8, 2010 Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger used his draconian tactics to hurt working families across the State of California by eliminating CalWORKs Stage 3 child care services to put money in his “rainy day” fund. 

This single “blue pencil” action pushes us even closer to becoming a welfare state despite the fact that California has worked diligently over the last 15 years to move families from welfare to work.  The Governor’s attempt to balance the budget on the backs of poor people will most likely result in thousands of California residents being forced on to unemployment and welfare."
