By now you have heard all of the facts about why supporting this measure good idea: how crucial early childhood education is to long term success for the child, the return on investment for the economy, how childcare support allows our workforce to stay strong in our community…the list goes on. You’ve also been informed of how unaffordable childcare has become and how such a high cost early on in a family’s existence will affect both short term and long term financial stability for families in our community. I won’t continue to belabor these extremely important and powerful points.
What I will do, however, is remind you how we are all on the same team here, a team working to ensure our community stays a strong, diverse, beautiful, respectful and supportive place for our locals to live. You were voted to city council by the locals in the community with trust that you would do everything in your power to ensure the community isn’t swallowed up by the second homeowners and major corporations. That you would help keep the community affordable and diverse, and consider how future generations are impacted by the decisions you make today.
The Park City Cares About Kids proposal is a perfect opportunity to show the people of Park City that we elected the right folks for the job of protecting our community and our future. By investing in childcare, you are not only helping the people in our community who need it the most now, but you are ensuring success for the entire town long term by investing in economic growth for our local businesses and restaurants. Don’t let future leaders in our town ask the question ‘what could we have done differently’ when looking back on the legacy of our leaders today.
Thank you for the consideration of this proposal and I hope you so the right thing.
P.S. Since I know we pride ourselves on living in a world class destination, are we really going to let ski destinations like Aspen and Breckenridge do better for their local kids than us?
