EXCERPT FROM: KRQE News 13
By Bill Diven
ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - Working parents who say they are caught between a rock and a hard spot protested cutbacks in day care support outside a state office Wednesday morning.
Parents, their kids and day care center owners gathered outside the Albuquerque office of the Children, Youth and Families Department on Pan American Freeway NE. They cut out paper dolls representing 2,000 children they say are on the waiting list for child-care vouchers.
The state, wrestling with a budget shortfall, reduced the income eligibility by half on Jan. 1.
