Prop 10 -- Weaving
a Web of Support for Young Children and Families
PROP.
10, the California Children
and Families First Initiative, passed by voters in 1998, was a
move to bring desperately needed resources into the fragmented and
impoverished world of services for young children and their
families, but it was more than that.
The extra
50-cents-a-pack tax on cigarettes was intended, not to collect a
pot of money for a random assortment of programs, but to create
"a seamless system of integrated and comprehensive programs
and services to support early childhood development from the
prenatal stage to age five."
