Re: San Diego UT on Prop 82

I too, am voting against 82 because the school system is broken.  82 
seems like a distraction, not a workable fix.  I live in an area where 
reduced/free breakfast & lunch are more common than not.  We have head 
start & VIP pre-school.  Everyone I know is getting the pre-school they 
need.  It really amounts to free daycare.  Let's focus on the problems 
in grades K-12 first.
