The following is a list of priorities for children and families on which CAA will focus during the session. If the bold face heading of the issue is a blue link , this indicates that there is a Fact Sheet on that particular issue. If the bill number is in blue ink , this indicates there is a link to the bill on ALIS. Our 2004 priorities are: Balance the state budget to improve children’s health, safety, and education: Although the economy is getting stronger and state revenues are picking up, projected tax dollars will not be enough to maintain the existing services from state government. Lawmakers will have to cover a deficit of $500 million or more through revenue increases, budget cuts, or temporary financing strategies. Arizona cannot afford budget cuts that balance the books but threaten our children and ultimately lead to greater expense. CAA will work to secure adequate funding for children and families, including: child care subsidies
