URBANA – Crisis Nursery of Champaign County might have to serve 150 fewer children over the next year after a one-two punch from funding sources.

Executive Director Stephanie Record learned Friday that the organization, 1309 W. Hill St., U, will see a more than 10 percent cut in state funding. The Legislature has lined out the item for all six crisis nurseries in Illinois.
