I know that back in Jan or Feb, some places were citing the new legislation as if it had already passed. I seem to recall this coming up a number of times. Apparently, some of the higher ups were saying that they were to just run things starting at that point under the new legislation, which was, of course, completely false. I believe another person posted that ECE courses were also reflective of the new legislation. I don't know if that was across the board, but I don't doubt it was happening.

I think we have a tough row to hoe here. No doubt about it! However, I do think we at least have a shot at having our issues heard if we all work together at it. I'm finding that many providers just don't want to deal with it. Either they feel it's not going to help anyway or that it might rub a few people the wrong way. They could be right, but really, what have we got to lose at this point? I think the coalition is the best thing to come along in some time as a means of being given a chance to get the appropriate message out there...the one being completely overlooked by the government.
