Regardless of if you you like the program or not, this taking from this voter mandated program (PAID for by the voters directly) shows the utter contempt the government has to its “subjects" ...

Agreed. It stinks.

I dont know much about this program...

First5 is a program run by the liberal meathead, Rob Reiner. If you scroll back to the keyword index, you will find that there was a large controversy involving the misuse (and disappearance) of funds in the mid-2006 time period.

Redirecting funds from a voter approved intiative turns my stomach. Taking away funds from Rob Reiner warms my heart. Call me conflicted. ;-)

I'd be interested in knowing more about where the funds are proposed to go. That may end up being the decision point for me.

Are kids dumber or smarter after going through this program or is it just another make work venture to increase union membership for locking up more votes for the left. I see stories from time to time that more kids are dropping out before graduation...
