On Tuesday, Aug. 26 The Children's Trust will come before voters of Miami-Dade County for reauthorization through a referendum.
In 2002, voters passed The Children's Trust, opting for a final vote in 2006 to decide if they wanted the organization to be in perpetuity (just as it is in Broward and Palm Beach and other Florida counties).
Two quick and important facts: (1) The Children's Trust invests $100 million or more a year for early intervention and prevention. (2) It costs the median-assessed-value homeowner $61 a year.
