Reiner Aids California Prop 10 Reform Effort
California actor Rob Reiner joins efforts to reform Prop 10 First 5 commissions. Senate critic Dean Florez pushes changes to reduce administration costs and remove county supervisors from chair roles while ensuring funds support early childhood programs for ages 0 to 5. An audit prompts new legislation with caps on admin spending and tighter conflict of interest rules, plus triennial state reports and possible withheld funds for noncompliance.
