Re "Lawmakers, Gov. Reach
Budget Deal," June
27
In a $131-billion budget, it is hard to understand how
$23 million that would have provided healthcare to
needy kids was a major sticking point. It is disappointing
that a few legislators blocked what most policymakers
and the public know is good policy. Californians will
have the opportunity to finish the goal of ensuring
that all children have health insurance with the Tobacco
Tax Act of 2006 on the November ballot.
