Chicago - Daniel Biss released the following statement in response to Bruce Rauner's decision to roll back cuts to the Child Care Assistance Program.
“While Bruce Rauner was decimating affordable childcare three years ago, Litesa and I were leading the fight to expand eligibility and restore funding,” said Daniel Biss. “An arrogant, out-of-touch billionaire who has never had to worry about affording childcare, Bruce Rauner clearly doesn't understand how cuts to these programs ripple throughout generations, stifling opportunity and perpetuating hardship."
"Bruce Rauner shouldn't get credit for finally restoring eligibility to a program that he demolished. This is too little, too late for thousands of families across Illinois. We need a governor who will fight for us every day—someone with a proven record of success and a stake in the future of our state.”
