Tom Barrett is Protecting Child Care Funding & Holding Scammers Accountable

Tom Barrett and House Republicans secured a big win for Michigan families, passing legislation that safeguards federal child care funding from fraud and holds scammers accountable.

The bill ensures working families receive the benefits they deserve by implementing stricter reporting standards, increasing penalties on states and providers that misuse federal funding, and codifying fraud standards. 

“Tom Barrett continues to deliver for working families, protecting the programs they need and the money they earned. Meanwhile, Democrats are addicted to a reckless agenda that bankrolls fraudulent programs, taxes Michigan families to death, and robs them of economic freedom. It’s just one more reason why Michiganders will reelect Barrett in November.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
