Statement by Republican Leader Conway on Governor Brown's Veto of Unionized Family Child Care Bill

SACRAMENTO – Assembly Republican Leader Connie Conway, of Tulare, today issued the following statement following Governor Brown’s veto of Assembly Bill 101, the unionized family child care bill passed by legislative Democrats:

"Today’s veto preserves affordable child care options for California’s families during these tough economic times.  Higher costs due to unionization would have resulted in fewer services for working families who desperately need child care.

"Instead of passing new ‘job killer’ laws, it’s time for the Legislature to get back to what matters most – improving our economic climate so we can create more private sector jobs, which will generate the revenue required to support essential services.  Until we do, our state will continue to struggle with high unemployment and severe budget deficits well into the future."
