From Times Wire Reports
The Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday backed an initiative that would pay for voluntary preschool for all 4-year-olds in California.
Chamber President Rusty Hammer said the measure, which would raise income taxes for the wealthiest Californians, “will significantly improve the quality of our workforce, our education system and our quality of life.”
Filmmaker Rob Reiner, who is spearheading the campaign for the Preschool for All Act, said, “I think this is the most important endorsement this initiative will receive.”
