--IMHO, government should be forbidden to advertise, period---

"It's the wisest thing we can do," Reiner said. "We started from a place of people really not understanding about early-childhood development. And it was written into the initiative purposefully for that reason to help people understand the importance of early childhood."

Yet you support abortion on demand, No? eh,Meathead?

For the children.. lol

Buried somewhere in there is the actual point of the article. Not being from California, I'm not sure I get the significance of this.

"Proposition 10 locked in tremendous new public spending programs that will be difficult to ever unwind," McCarthy said. "The ugly side of the initiative process is that it can be manipulated and can create lucrative, taxpayer-financed spending that is virtually unchecked."

Amen to that!

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

There is this:

The extent of the spending was found when the Daily News of Los Angeles reviewed more than 16, 000 pages of public records and comes on the heels of earlier criticism about the program's administrative spending at the state and county levels.

Any actual newspaper doing some real research! That is unheard of out here.....

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Of the $3.4 billion the tax has generated, only $1.3 billion has been spent mostly on providing universal health care to children in 18 counties.

Just damn....where did the rest go?

[NormsRevenge]

Just damn....where did the rest go?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

A little off topic but am I unique in being annoyed that the Social Security Administration spends unknown amounts of money to send each of us a newsletter in the middle of summer to tell us how much we might collect someday.
Or why the US Postal service spends money on advertising as if there is a competitive mail delivery system.

Typical Rat - Spend billions on an "anti-smoking program"

when basic parental supervision (and a good swat on the tush) is all thats needed

[SunkenCiv]

I hope California can start gearing up for the recall of Governor Reiner.
