Calif. Public Backs Legislators on Pre-K Support

Jerry Brown have presided over a big retrofit of the state's K-12 finance system on the back of a major statewide income tax increase, finally achieved through passage of Proposition 30 in 2012. However, there's one significant education policy issue where liberal state legislators and the Democratic governor don't see eye-to-eye: the expansion of state-backed prekindergarten.
