Phillips knows nothing about child care, has no plan, has no idea how to set it up or what the rules are, has never been involved in child care in any way, so let’s give him $2 million to see what happens, instead of working with a group that seems to know what they’re doing. That sounds exactly like the decision our commissioners will make. It’s the decision that’s the worst possible one for the county, so that’s where they will head.

Don't have any experience with childcare? That's OK, here is $2 million because you are a Republican.
If nothing else give their proposal back to the committee to look at and do a deep dive.
Nope.
