July 15, 2024 ~ Lucy Ann Lance talks with Lou Glazer, Founder, Michigan Future, Inc. A coalition in Michigan is advocating for a tax cut to assist working parents, proposing a fully refundable $5,000 per child tax credit for children up to three years old and a $2,500 credit for children aged three to six. This initiative aims to support lower-wage workers struggling with childcare costs, targeting around 250,000 children. It addresses the limitations of existing programs like the state’s childcare subsidy and the tri-share program, which suffers from low participation due to cost and bureaucracy.
