Thread Name: BS: The Baby Sitter Law
Subject: RE: BS: The Baby Sitter Law
Hi Deb

Can you name a non partisan objective source to appeal too? Everyone seems to have an opinion but the source that substantiates their facts are unacceptable to others.

I usually rely on the Christian Science Monitor for strict news. Pull all the demagoguery out of this article and the fact remains that there is a bill that is likely to become law that reads on the surface to require all baby sitter types to be paid a union wage with benefits.

I haven't looked up the bill to see if specifically exempts high schoolers from this bill. Perhaps I should have. Nothing surprises me anymore. And I won't be terribly amazed should it come to the turn that the statement I posted suggests.

It sounds silly but imagine the restaurants that will go out of business because Mom and Dad can't go out at night. And if single Moms have it tough now affording child care it will become impossible in California.
