Christie’s Budget Would Cut $30 Million From Childcare Centers | Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s proposed budget would cut $30 million from the state’s childcare centers. One childcare center director told a local newspaper that the cuts would prompt “higher across-the-board co-pays and rates, and stricter requirements for parents to prove they are working — a problem for illegal immigrants paid off the books.” And while Christie takes aim at children, he has previously vetoed a tax on millionaires, which some state Democrats are now trying to revive.
