FROM THE MOUTHS OF BABES...RIGHT: U.S. Rep. Tom Barrett visited the UWM Children's Center in July in response to a letter he received from three center students. Tonia Qaisar, Toby Schwartz, and Allie Schwartz wrote Barrett to ask him to work for more funding for child-care programs. The students were responding to the departure of one of their favorite teachers, who left because she needed a higher income. Barrett agreed with the students that caring for young people was one of the most valuable career choices a person could make, and said he would do whatever he could to see that child-care funding was considered a priority in the federal budget. He also urged center students to keep making their feelings known to elected officials. "I read your mail and it was important to me to talk to you," he said. "I'm glad you're concerned about serious issues and the future of your world." |
