That was a really big deal. Another big policy that we got across the finish line, and I'm really disappointed that the governor vetoed it, was our child care bill. We passed a bill to ensure that we are paying our early childhood educators a fair wage, that we're giving them professional development opportunities, and that we're creating opportunities to create more slots in this state. You know, it's. It's heartbreaking when you have conversations with people who are literally debating whether it's better for them to leave their job and stay home with their child because they can't find a slot.
