Katie Seltz, director of the Creative New Beginnings Childcare & Early Learning Center, said she's getting at least one call a day from families in need of care. For the rural town of Strum in Trempealeau county, it's anything but normal, she said. 

"I feel awful every time I have to turn away a family and say, 'I'm sorry, our waitlist is at least a year out,'" she said. "It's heartbreaking." 

But she can’t open more spaces for children without hiring more staff, which is not easy to do. She said some workers didn't want to leave the field but sought out better pay and opportunities.

The GOP has a stranglehold on both houses of the Wisconsin legislature -- 21 to 12 in the Senate and 57 to 38 in the Assembly.
