SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Two propositions on the state ballot may be the easiest "yes" votes you'll ever find. Both help kids.
Proposition 31 would ban the retail sale in California of flavored tobacco products that are addicting teens to nicotine at an epidemic rate, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Proposition 28 would guarantee lots more funding for music and arts in public schools — and without a tax increase. There'd finally be a safety net for the programs that principals usually cut first when there's a money squeeze.
