644 IS YOUR TIME. IT’S TIME FOR NEWS TO GO. WE’VE GOT IT. TODAY’S LOOK AT THE TOP STORIES, TRAFFIC AND WEATHER BEFORE YOU HEAD OUT THE DOOR. FIRST, WE BEGIN IN GREENVILLE COUNTY, WHERE AN UPSTATE ARCADE AND GAME LOUNGE ANNOUNCED IT WILL CLOSE ITS DOORS. PINKY’S REVENGE IN TAYLORS MILL SAYS IT’S CLOSING BECAUSE OF NEW LAWS IN THE STATE, AND A POST. THE OWNERS SAY THAT DESPITE FOLLOWING ALL CRITERIA FOR NEW LAWS PASSED ABOUT LIQUOR LIABILITY, THEIR INSURANCE WENT UP $17,000 FOR THE YEAR. THE POST DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THEY WILL CLOSE, JUST THAT IT WOULD BE SOMETIME THIS WEEK, BUT IN THE SAME POST, THE BUSINESS DID ANNOUNCE IT’S OPENING AN ARCADE LOCATION IN DOWNTOWN GREER. AN OPENING DATE HAS NOT BEEN ANNOUNCED. MORE THAN 3 MILLION BOTTLES OF EYE DROPS WERE SOLD AT STORES LIKE WALGREENS AND CVS ARE BEING RECALLED BECAUSE OF STERILIZATION CONCERNS. THE EYE DROPS WERE SOLD UNDER A NUMBER OF BRAND NAMES, INCLUDING ARTIFICIAL TEARS, DRY EYE RELIEF, EYE DROPS, ULTRA LUBRICATING EYE DROP AND SOOTHING TEARS. THE FDA SAYS USING THESE MAY CAUSE TEMPORARY OR MEDICALLY REVERSIBLE HEALTH EFFECTS. FEDERAL HEALTH LEADERS ARE URGING PEOPLE TO STOP USING THE BOTTLES IMMEDIATELY, AND THE USDA SAYS CERTAIN PACKAGES OF DINOSAUR SHAPED CHICKEN NUGGETS ALSO SOLD AT WALMART, COULD CONTAIN LEAD. THEIR PRODUCTION DATE IS FEBRUARY 10TH, AND THEIR BEST BY DATE IS THE SAME DAY. A YEAR LATER, THEY WERE SHIPPED TO WALMARTS NATIONWIDE. THE USDA SAYS THE ITEMS ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR SALE. LEAD IS ESPECIALLY HARMFUL TO PREGNANT WOMEN, INFANTS AND YOUNG CHILDREN. THE MAJOR DECISION TO THE SOUTH CAROLINA STATE HOUSE IS BRINGING CLARITY FOR TAXPAYERS. THE STATE SENATE VOTED AGAINST A BILL THAT WOULD HAVE ALIGNED STATE TAX LAW WITH RECENT FEDERAL CHANGES, ENDING WEEKS OF CONFUSION FOR PEOPLE IN SOUTH CAROLINA WHO WEREN’T SURE WHETHER TO WAIT OR TO FILE. STATE HAD EVEN EXTENDED THE FILING DEADLINE TO GIVE LAWMAKERS TIME TO DECIDE. AND NOW, EXPERTS SAY YOU CAN FILE WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT HAVING TO AMEND YOUR RETURN. IF YOU ARE OVER AGE 65. IF YOU HAD TIPS, IF YOU HAD OVERTIME, IF YOU HAD PAID HIGH STATE INCOME TAXES, YOU ARE GOING TO BE IMPACTED BY THIS BILL NOT BEING PASSED. SUPPORTERS SAY KEEPING THE STATE TAX CODE AS IS COULD HELP WITH LONG TERM TAX CUTS. SOUTH CAROLINA, INCLUDING A PUSH TO ELIMINATE THE STATE INCOME TAX NEXT WEEK. PRESIDENT TRUMP SUGGESTED STATES SHOULD COVER DAYCARE COSTS INSTEAD OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. BUT IN A RARE BIPARTISAN WIN IN WASHINGTON, IT’S ALREADY LED TO BILLIONS IN MORE DOLLARS TO HELP PARENTS COVER CERTAIN COSTS. NBC’S JULIE SIRKIN REPORTS. COME ON THIS WAY. MOST DAYS, INDIA BROWN, A SINGLE MOM, BRINGS HER TWO YOUNG CHILDREN TO THIS CARE CENTER IN ALABAMA AND THAT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SOMEBODY THAT CARES ABOUT KIDS AND THEIR WELL-BEING. THIS IS A GOOD THING. WHAT ABOUT THIS ONE? IT IS A GOOD THING FOR HER FAMILY. INDIA BROWN IS ABLE TO WORK BECAUSE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIZES CHILDCARE. I DROPPED MY KIDS OFF KNOWING THAT THEY’RE SAFE. THAT I CAN KEEP THEM HERE FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS, GO TO WORK, PROVIDE FOR THEM. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN DECADES, CONGRESS PASSED $16 BILLION IN NEW CHILD CARE SPENDING, SIGNED INTO LAW BY PRESIDENT TRUMP. MORE FAMILIES CAN GET A BIGGER TAX CREDIT. WORKING PARENTS CAN CLAIM UP TO HALF OF CHILD CARE COSTS DEPENDING ON INCOME, AND BUSINESSES ARE GETTING BIGGER SUBSIDIES, ALLOWING WORKERS TO SET ASIDE MORE PRETAX DOLLARS. WHY? AND THIS COULD MAKE A BIG DENT BECAUSE LABOR DEPARTMENT DATA SHOWS AMERICAN FAMILIES SPEND UP TO 16% OF THEIR MEDIAN INCOME ON FULL DAY CARE, JUST FOR ONE CHILD. THE VERY HUNGRY SENATOR KATIE BRITT, A MOM OF TWO AND THE YOUNGEST REPUBLICAN WOMAN ELECTED TO THE SENATE, LED THE EFFORT WITH DEMOCRATIC SENATOR TIM KAINE. I DON’T HAVE TO ASK PEOPLE WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE RAISING KIDS RIGHT NOW. SO, SO MANY OF THESE THINGS ARE THINGS THAT I’VE EXPERIENCED IN MY OWN LIFE. SHE MET WITH CHILDCARE PROVIDERS AND ADVOCATES TO DISCUSS THE IMPACTS. IT ENABLED A LOT OF PARENTS TO GO BACK TO WORK. BRITT FRAMED THE PUSH AS AN ECONOMIC ISSUE. IT’S HOW SHE CONVINCED HER PARTY TO GET ON BOARD THE DEPENDABILITY OF CHILDCARE AFFORDABILITY. ACCESSIBILITY IS AN IMPEDIMENT TO PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BE IN THE WORKFORCE. 99% OF THE KIDS WHO GO TO THIS CHILDCARE CENTER IN MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA, RELY ON FEDERAL SUBSIDIES. AND WITHOUT THAT FUNDING, THEIR PARENTS WOULD HAVE NO OPTIONS. LOWER INCOME FAMILIES IN AT LEAST FIVE OTHER STATES, ALL RUN BY DEMOCRATS, ARE BRACING FOR POTENTIAL DISRUPTIONS AFTER THE WHITE HOUSE ATTEMPTED TO FREEZE CERTAIN FEDERAL CHILD CARE FUNDING, CITING FRAUD CONCERNS. WHAT IF IT JUST WENT AWAY? WHAT WOULD YOU DO? FIGURE IT OUT. THERE YOU GO. IT WOULD BE HARD, THOUGH, RIGHT? IF WE DIDN’T HAVE DAYCARE. I DON’T KNOW, MOST PARENTS WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO SURVIVE. JULIE SIRKIN, NBC NEWS, MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA. SHARING A PASSION FOR SCIENCE WITH STUDENTS, THE IMAGINE UPSTATE STEAM FESTIVAL TOOK OVER MAIN STREET IN DOWNTOWN GREENVILLE SATURDAY.
