Oppose HF 2127! I am a grandparent supporting my daughter and two children who came to live with me during Covid. I am very familiar with how much it costs to raise a family in today's economy. It is unrealistic to believe that lowincome parents receiving child care assistance could pay the difference between the cost of care and the childcare assistance support if making over $33,394. This amount is not a living wage for a family of three, no less that the parent would be required to take part of that poverty level salary and pay for childcare. I ask that you oppose HF 2127.
