ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Governor Hochul’s proposal to ensure free child care for all represents to The Children’s Agenda the culmination of years of work and hope.

The organization’s CEO, Larry Marx, talked with Adam Chodak about how it would work, key parts still missing from the plan and why he sees the move as key to New York’s success.

“We’re at a historic moment,” Marx said. “We’ve been working on this issue since the birth of the organization.”

In the interview, Adam asks questions about cost, federal cuts and implementation.
