School funding. Absolutely, that's got to be a priority. Child care. This comes up consistently. I don't care where I am. Rural, urban, suburban, child care. Federal government says for child care to be affordable, it should be no more than 7% of your income. If anybody out here has a child in child care, you're probably laughing right now. So with average costs in Wisconsin, just average, a family would have to be making $185,000 a year to afford one child in child care. (43:29–43:35)
