Like building a tunnel, we need to dig from both directions. In closing, ACT urges the assembly to rebalance alcohol tax allocations towards prevention. Return ASD preschool funding to the alcohol tax at the full $2 million so the ACE Fund can be fully funded— can they— can fully fund the $5.2 million plan as recommended by the board to the mayor. We additionally urge that early literacy funding returns to the alcohol tax. These steps honor what voters supported and work to meet today's needs while preventing tomorrow's challenges.
