Child Care in the Now

At Risk: Our Kids' Health- call the Governor!

On Thursday, the legislature sent a bill to the Governor that would ban a dangerous chemical from the toys our kids use every day. The Governor has threatened to veto the bill. Call Governor Pawlenty at (651) 296-3391 and tell him:
"I'm a child care provider. Please sign SF 651 because we shouldn't have to worry about toxic toys putting our kids' health at risk."
If you have questions, call Jon Grebner at (651) 287-0587.
