Alaska renames day care program and adds business tax credits
Child Care Assistance; Tax Credits
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, the bill would rename Alaska's day care assistance program and give tax credits to several industries, shifting some tax revenue away from the state.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Families could keep the same child care help, but the state would lose money to business tax breaks, which could mean fewer services or higher taxes later.
