President Biden Visiting Crystal Lake Wednesday, Addressing American Families Plan
CHICAGO (CBS)-- President Joe Biden will be in Crystal Lake, Illinois, on Wednesday.
His focus is on the American Families Plan, which the administration says is about children and education.
Biden will speak at McHenry County College and plans to meet with both Governor JB Pritzker and Mayor Lori Lightfoot during his first visit to Illinois as president.
Biden's plan will provide universal preschool to all 3 and 4-year-olds and two years of free community college.
There's also a plan to make sure low- to middle-income families spend no more than 7% of their income on child care. It also creates a national paid family and medical leave program.
Then there's tax cuts, also for lower and middle income families and workers, which includes the expanded child tax credit and earned income tax credit.
President Biden is likely to discuss his infrastructure deal as well.
He arrives at O'Hare Airport at 11:35 a.m.
