State Ends Daycare Assistance

 Illinois' budget crisis is hitting close to home for many parents.  The state says it can no longer pay for a childcare assistance program, which helps 100-thousand families across the state pay for daycare.  Daycare providers who receive money from the state will come up short for at least the next several months, or until lawmakers decide whether the state can afford to restore funding.  Parents say this could force them to quit their jobs and stay at home with the kids.
