Of course, what is really happening is a completely different story but as long as it looks good on paper or in theory, they'll just keep doling out the money.

The state is not only drinking the Kool-aide but they are paying for it too

My state has been there and done that....a small amount of funding there still for academic classwork but for the most part funding is diminishing. Fifteen years later they are down 3000 Family/Group providers. The goal this last fiscal year was to raise FCC providers by 5%

Today we have 638 for the whole state that are licensed....I dare say there are triple this number of unlicensed providers legally/unlegally. We dropped providers, no gain at all!

Until Assessment is GONE, providers will not go back to being licensed and will remain under the radar. Assessment is in the law here so it is not going anywhere!
