Page 14 Thursday, April 13,1995 Winston-Salem Chronicle N.C. Black Caucus Supports Smart Start from page 1 families in our state.” The plum of Hunt’s early childhood education program might become a prune if money isn’t approved to expand Smart Start, though. Smart Start is now in 32 counties, but Gov. Hunt has pro posed an additional 24 programs to begin over the next two years. One estimate said the Smart Start expansion will cost an, additional $72 million. Forsyth County is one of the counties that already has Smart Start. “Everybody is satisfied with the program,” said Rep. Larry Womble, D-Forsyth. “We’re get ting the best bang for our buck.” Smart Start, which partners government and private enter prise, serves more than 8,600 children across the state. Smart Start’s services include early education for four year-olds and preventive health care. “Either you pay on the front end, or you pay on the back end,” Womble said, “It’s much better to put money in programs for our kids because it gives us a chance to make a difference in their lives. If we can’t do it now, then we won’t be able to build enough prisons. “It all begins with educa tion,” he said. But getting Smart Start to serve more children may be an uphill battle. The Republi can leadership in the House has not come aboard to support the proposed expansion of the pro gram. Speaker of the House Harold Brubaker, R-Randolph, said he’d like to see Smart Start studied more before additional money is spent to expand the program. He pointed out other programs, including the Basic Education Plan, that were expanded quickly before their full 'impact was known. And then it became apparent that the state wasn’t realizing the full benefits that were promised. That hasn’t stopped Smart Start’s top proponent from trav eling the state to drum up sup port for Smart Start. Since his State of Address, Gov. Hunt has pushed hard for the expansion of the program. It was one of the main points when he addressed the General Assembly in Janu ary. The next 12 counties that would be eligible for the Smart Start grants are Alleghany, Bun combe, New Hanover, Pamlico, Randolph, Robeson, Rutherford, Stokes, Surry, Wake, Washing ton and Wilson. Twelve more counties would be added next year if the appropriation is approved.
