Why support renewal of the Early Childhood Millage?
When they first approved an Early Childhood millage, local voters were acknowledging the fact that parents of young children often need more or different support than what they can get from their extended family, friendship groups, or church. Prior to that millage, Leelanau families had been able to seek such help from an informal network of service providers, including churches and nonprofits. But the county itself offered only basic health services for families with young children, and the limited services available through the informal network were always facing an uncertain funding future.
