On November 6, voters in San Antonio, Texas will vote on whether the city should own and operate a network of early childhood education centers. The initiative is controversial, and rightly so. There are many reasons to question whether such a network, which would operate in competition with existing private and public day-care and pre-school programs, is the best or even an appropriate use of taxpayer dollars.
This Policy Brief describes the initiative and then presents 21 reasons the plan is a bad idea. Sources for facts and numbers that appear here are readily found from public sources, which the author is willing to help readers find.

This plan is getting pushed hard by Castro and is getting a huge boost from some prominent business leaders like HEB.
if anyone wants to throw out some logical reasons why San Antonio should be footing this bill in the form of a tax increase, I'll be glad to listen.
At the moment, I see many, many more negatives than positives and I would encourage everyone that can vote to vote it down.
