FLASHPOINT for Apr 11, 2007

So the governor said this week he would veto the public edu- cation bill if it contained funding for all-day kindergarten. "I would have to," the governor was quoted saying in the Reno Gazette-Journal. "In the next biennium, we would not be able to meet those needs because the cost of full-day kindergarten would rise so rapidly in the next two years." So now he is not going to sign the bill because all-day kindergarten is too expensive? Previously, the governor had said it was because its efficacy has not been proved. So what if it were proved effective and yet still expensive? What then? I would love to see the Assembly Democrats somehow find a way to push it through the Senate to the governor's desk. Let's see whether he vetoes it.
