ST. PAUL – Rep. Mary Franson (R-Alexandria), a former childcare provider, released the following statement in response the decision in Parrish v. Dayton from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit.
“Today’s decision refrained from weighing in on the merits of the case brought by childcare providers and simply means that childcare providers will have to wait for their case to be heard,” said Franson. “This decision doesn’t change the fact that Minnesota childcare rates are the highest in the country and hardworking moms and dads cannot afford the additional financial strain that forced unionization would impose on their family budgets.”
