Two statewide early childhood initiatives received “yes” votes in the most recent election (Education Week, November 15, 2006; edweek.org):
- In Arizona, voters approved a tobacco tax for child development programs. Arizona smokers will now pay an 80-cent tax on cigarettes to fund the Arizona Early Childhood Development and Health Initiative, which will raise about $150 million a year for local and regional services for preschool children.
- In Nebraska, a new early childhood endowment fund gained voter approval. This new fund directs $40 million in state education money to services for at-risk infants and toddlers. The measure requires $20 million in private matching funds.
