 This is Maine Public Radio News. Good morning. I'm Erwin Gratz at 10.04. Child care workers in Maine are now eligible for state subsidies of up to more than $600 a month to pay for their own child care costs. It's one of several child care initiatives included in a state budget deal last year. Rita Furlow of the Maine Children's Alliance says some in the industry were disappointed it took more than a year for the program to launch, but she says the incentives should bring stability and entice workers into the field.
