Changes in subsidized childcare
Did you know that as of October 1, 2003, anyone above 150 percent of the 2003 Federal Poverty Guideline will be ineligible for subsidized child care in Ohio?

For those that are wondering...here are the 2003 poverty guidelines.
1............................. $8,980
2.............................$12,120
3.............................$15,260
4.............................$18,400
5.............................$21,540
6.............................$24,680
7.............................$27,820
8.............................$30,960

You have got to be kidding me! Even at 150%...How are these people supposed to afford childcare? And don't our state legislators realize they are putting these people back on assistance (for those that CAN get assistance, that is)? Or is it that they just don't care?
