Nebraska Makes Child Care Permanent

Nebraska just dropped a major win for working families: Governor Jim Pillen signed LB 304, making child care subsidies permanent for families earning up to $61,050 a year. With childcare costs soaring—sometimes $9K to $15K annually—this move lets parents stay in the workforce without choosing between jobs and care. Paired with a new tax credit offering up to $2K per child, and a new bill (LB 1165) that lets employers use tax credits to fund childcare, Nebraska is building a multi-pronged support system. It’s not perfect, but it’s a powerful step toward dignity, stability, and economic growth for working parents and their kids. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
