“Snoweflake”Campaign Earlier this fall, the Senate Finance Committee passed a TANF reauthorization bill with only $1 billion for child care funding over 5 years -- an amount that would not maintain current levels of child care assistance. Senator Olympia Snowe of Maine is proposing an amendment which will likely add $6 billion to mandatory child care funding, for a total of $7 billion. If the Snowe amendment passes, $272 million in new child care funding would be allocated to Pennsylvania over 5 years.
