Well, the results are in on Prop. 82
in California. It failed by a 6-4 margin. The measure would have
provided preschool education to California 4-year olds who wanted into
the program. An additional tax for the wealthy would have funded the
program. Rob Reiner spearheaded the project, but the proposal fell on deaf ears when many business groups formed the "No on 82" campaign.
