Several groups contributed to the park. For some, it was a personal cause.
'Our granddaughter was born with Down syndrome, so that put a huge light in our family that we wanted to make sure that our Merrin would have somewhere she could play,' said Kay Jennings, executive director of TCR Child Care Corporation.
City manager Derrick Swanson said the city is still accepting donations for the park, so it can be expanded and updated for future children.

The GOP's biggest falsehoods about Medicaid in Trump's spending bill, debunked
It's undeniable: The House Republican reconciliation bill would take health coverage away from millions of people to partially pay for trillions in tax cuts, which are skewed to wealthy people and corporations. But the legislation's backers would rather dismiss these uncomfortable facts and the people harmed by the bill they support. 'No one will lose coverage a result' of this bill, Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought recently said. 'People will not lose their Medicaid unless they choose to do so,' House Speaker Mike Johnson claimed. These comments ignore the unprecedented harm the House legislation would inflict. Republicans' proposed cuts — and their decision to let tax credits for the Affordable Care Act marketplaces expire — would cause an estimated 16 million people to become uninsured by 2034. Many of the House bill's cuts target people enrolled through the ACA's Medicaid expansion for low-income adults, which most states adopted and without which many of these adults would lack any pathway to coverage. Johnson's contention that only Americans who 'choose' to will lose coverage refers to the bill's so-called work requirements. But there's little choice — for individuals or states — under those harsh provisions, which take coverage away from certain low-income adults when they can't prove in a red-tape-laden process that they are working or should be exempt. In fact, more than 90% of adults on Medicaid either work full time or part time or meet exemptions like disability, education or caregiving. Most of the remainder are retired or unable to find work. Under the GOP bill, the Congressional Budget Office estimates 5.2 million adults would lose Medicaid because of the work requirement, and other analysts, including my colleagues at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, think the number could be higher. Also, under this bill, people would have to be employed to get Medicaid coverage in the first place. This harms people who lose employer coverage after a layoff, or who get sick and need care to get better and find work. Taking away people's coverage doesn't make them healthier or help them find a job. The work requirements' main function is to reduce federal investment in health care by leaving more people uninsured; it is the single biggest Medicaid cut in the House bill. The bill wouldn't just hurt people with Medicaid, but those with plans through the Affordable Care Act marketplaces. During Joe Biden's presidency, Democrats in Congress passed enhanced subsidies that have greatly lowered the costs of plans on the ACA's marketplaces. But those tax credits expire at the end of the year, and Republicans in Congress also haven't extended them. That will mean premiums will spike and, the Congressional Budget Office estimates, 4.2 million people will become uninsured. Worse, millions who manage to stay covered will still face higher health care costs, even as families are already struggling with rising costs for food, rent and other household expenses. The ACA marketplaces, meanwhile, are a critical source of coverage for people who lack employer coverage, such as gig workers, low-paid workers and older people not yet eligible for Medicare. In total, by letting the ACA marketplace subsidies expire, the House bill would cause health coverage costs to skyrocket for about 22 million people, including 3 million small-business owners and self-employed workers. A typical family of four with income of $65,000 would pay $2,400 more per year to keep their marketplace coverage. The GOP bill goes out of its way to make it harder for all Medicaid and marketplace plan enrollees to get and keep coverage. Republicans would impose a set of overlapping, punitive policies designed to trip up people, such as more frequent eligibility checks for some and shorter enrollment periods. And speaking of punitive policies, the House bill blocks access to coverage for millions of people who are immigrants. It strips many people lawfully present in the U.S. of their ability to buy affordable ACA marketplace plans and of their access to Medicare benefits. It even penalizes states that provide comprehensive health coverage under Medicaid to certain immigrants with their own funds. Republicans claim the cuts target people without documented immigration status, but those people already do not qualify for Medicaid, Medicare or financial help under the ACA. The cuts would hurt immigrants who lawfully live and work in the U.S., including refugees, people granted asylum, and victims of domestic violence and labor or sex trafficking. Losing coverage means losing access to lifesaving treatments for costly illnesses like cancer and chronic diseases like diabetes. People with disabilities, older adults, children and the many people in low-paid jobs that lack health benefits will delay or avoid needed care, and more people will contend with bankruptcy and medical debt. Finally, the House bill doesn't just threaten access to care for all Medicaid enrollees, but for entire communities as well. Provider payments would likely drop in all states, which would struggle to keep local providers whole as they grapple with increases in uncompensated care. To take one example, Medicaid covers nearly half of all births in rural hospitals. These hospitals are already more likely to experience negative operating margins and can ill afford massive Medicaid cuts. Rural hospital closures will risk people's lives as labor and delivery services, emergency services, or other lifesaving measures become out of reach. No matter what GOP lawmakers and officials like Johnson and Vought say, you can't strip hundreds of billions of dollars out of Medicaid and the ACA and claim with a straight face that no one will lose coverage. And whether people have access to health care or not, their health care needs won't go away. Thankfully, the House bill isn't law yet. The Senate still has time to reject provisions that leave millions of people uninsured, raise costs for millions more, and upend the major programs that provide low-income people with lifesaving health care around the country.

WH budget chief pressed on PEPFAR funds, says Africa ‘needs to absorb more of the burden'
Office and Management Budget Director Russell Vought on Wednesday was pressed on proposed cuts to the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) pursued as part of a new rescissions request from the Trump administration. During a budget hearing on Wednesday, Vought defended proposed reductions as targeting items like 'teaching young children how to make environmentally friendly reproductive health decisions,' and efforts he claimed were aimed at strengthening 'the resilience of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer global movements.' 'We can find waste, fraud and abuse there that the American people would not support, and it's one of the reasons why it's in the package, but it will not lead to life saving treatment being denied,' he said during the hearing. Congress, under the Biden administration, appropriated approximately $7 billion for PEPFAR in fiscal year 2024. The program is considered to be one of America's most consequential programs in Africa and is credited with saving 25 million lives and scaling back the AIDS epidemic. Vought was pressed again about his comments as a follow-up question from Rep. Mark Alford (R-Mo.) during the hearing and potential cuts to prevention efforts. 'Aside from the crazy woke programs, which I agree should be stripped,' Alford asked, 'is there any other prevention program, not treatment, but prevention program listed in this rescission package which is not of a woke nature?' Vought said in response that the administration seeks to scale 'down the program as it pertains to the types of organizations that are providing the examples of the waste, fraud and abuse.' But he also said 'the prevention itself is where an analytical look needs to be done.' 'There's life saving treatment after you already have HIV, but there are prevention programs that PEPFAR does, which are not of the woke nature, which can prevent someone from getting HIV,' Alford countered. 'Are those programs going to survive?' 'It is something that our budget will be very trim on because we believe that many of these nonprofits are not geared toward the viewpoints of the administration, and we're $37 trillion in debt,' Vought responded. 'So, at some point, the continent of Africa needs to absorb more of the burden of providing this healthcare.' The moment comes as the prospect of PEPFAR cuts has prompted concern from some congressional Republicans as part of a larger request sent by the Trump administration to cut more than $9 billion in congressionally approved funds for foreign aid and public broadcasting programs. Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins (R-Maine) has also voiced opposition to cutting PEPFAR, saying Wednesday that the idea makes 'no sense to me whatsoever.' 'Given the extraordinary record of PEPFAR in saving lives, it has literally saved millions of lives, and so I do not see a basis for cutting it,' she said.
