SALT LAKE COUNTY — Families in Salt Lake County are speaking out after a vote to cut funding for parks and recreation childcare programs.

For Andrew and Angelique Bowser, mornings at the Magna Recreation Center are a part of their family's routine. Their youngest daughter spends time at the rec center while both Andrew and Angelique work.

"It lets me be a better neighbor, lets me be a better dad," explained Andrew.
