Editorial: Use Tobacco Tax Funds on Health Care
A San Diego Union-Tribune editorial supports a proposal by Sen. Dave Cox (R-Fair Oaks) to "amend Proposition 10 and move its revenue to the Healthy Families and Medi-Cal programs." The editorial argues that the approximate $600 million generated annually by a 50-cent-per-pack cigarette tax "has never been spent coherently."
