"If we're serious about ensuring that kids have an equal start in life, we need it."

Let me see. The muicipal government of Seattle thinks so little of children that it is not funding necessary child care. But if people are willing to pony up an extra ten cents a cup, well OK, gosh, we will let the people fund the kids.

What a bloody sham.

Why doesn't someone at the Seattle PI point out this ham handed political ploy?

Actually, the P.I. came out against this tax, arguing that there was no rational connection between what was being taxed (lattes) and the program that was being funded by the tax (daycare).
