WA voters want more child care investments, new poll finds

Washington voters want more money invested in child care and support more taxes on wealthy people and businesses to pay for it.

And, in a poll released Thursday, 87% of those surveyed said child care and early education will be priorities for them when casting ballots this November.

A coalition comprised of Children’s Campaign Fund Action, OneAmerica Votes and MomsRising conducted the poll of about 800 voters statewide.

Seventy percent backed a proposal to cap what families pay for child care at 7% of their household income and provide a living wage for providers. It’s a package pushed by child care advocates to lawmakers in recent years but is likely a big fiscal ask.

We're awash in millionaires and we have plenty of billionaires too. They resist it, and of course, so do plenty of people who would be barely affected in the pocketbook but would reap mightily in services (and might even come out ahead if we could lower our regressive user taxes).
