Rob Reiner resigned as head of the First-5 Commission on Wednesday, as more pressure mounts to do a thorough investigation. Indeed, as the Chronicle story notes, both Democrats and Republicans believe something’s fishy with how the Commission spent money raised through the cigarette tax.
Meanwhile, Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca and other law enforcement officers came out in support of Proposition 82, the help Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Denver Initiative (aka the tax the wealthy for mandatory pre-school initiative). Support for Proposition 82 has fallen to 52 percent, which is about 30 percent higher than it should be if voters realized the economic consequences. There’s still no word if the Nevada Development Authority will sponsor advertisements supporting Proposition 82.
