I have some concerns about this bill and how it may impact our community. It seems like there are a lot of unanswered questions about how it will be funded and what the long-term effects will be. I worry about the potential consequences for families like mine who rely on affordable child care options. It's important to consider all perspectives before moving forward with legislation that could have such a significant impact on so many people. #HRBill9811 #ChildCareInfrastructureAct Families across the country will be affected by this bill.
