Nobody seems to focus on the educational results which, I hope, are entailed by the bill. I don't care about the tax or how much sugar I consume but everyone will benefit from wider access to pre-K.
Speaking of elitist, most of my friends are my age peers and have no young children in their lives currently. I live with our five-year old grandson. Also, I just got a flyer that makes the following points: 1. Kids who attend pre-K score higher in reading and math; are more likely to graduate from high school. [Possible hidden common cause] 2. Pre-K for SF will create 200 jobs. 3. Low income families will benefit the most. Private pre-K costs 12000-16000 per year. [so it's non-elitist] 4. The revenue will only be used for pre-K by ordinance. 5. The City budget surplus comes and goes. Pre-K is a recurring expense. [] = my observation Frank Frank C.

It is elitist to burden your neighbors' pocketbook by pushing for law to promote general health AND is it is elitist to not care about your neighbors' health! Damned elitists! Marcus
