    If you've seen the news or have read the headlines, you know Illinois is in a state of crisis right now.
    The fact that Illinois still does not have a state budget, forces many women and girls, particularly working mothers, to make difficult decisions on how to keep themselves safe, care for their families and make a living. Moreover, Governor Rauner recently and unilaterally cut the Child Care Assistance Program in Illinois, meaning that a single mom of two children entering the workforce can only access child care assistance in Illinois if she makes less than $838 per month. It's not surprising that The National Women's Law Center ranked our state as worst in the nation for access to quality, affordable child care.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/k-sujata/illinois-now-worse-state-_b_8490698.html

    Illinois has some tough decisions to make. Subsidized trapshooting for millionaires or childcare?
