Last week, the department said that \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/OPA/Pages/NR24-22.aspx\">as of Aug. 21\u003c/a>, the number of confirmed cases linked to the festival is at least 19, including eight hospitalizations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The actual number of people infected is likely higher since \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12001920/valley-fever-in-california-symptoms-protecting-yourself-and-why-cases-are-way-up\">valley fever symptoms\u003c/a> — cough, fever, chest pain and fatigue — can be confused with other common respiratory infections and COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valley fever is not contagious from person to person but infects people and animals who breathe in dust or dirt that contains fungal spores of coccidioides, or “cocci.” When this dust is blown up into the air, people in the area can inhale the cocci spores, which can infect the lungs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State officials have warned that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12001920/valley-fever-in-california-symptoms-protecting-yourself-and-why-cases-are-way-up\">valley fever is on the rise\u003c/a> this year and being reported outside the Central Valley and Central Coast areas where it is traditionally most common. A music festival is somewhat of a perfect storm for the infection — dancing kicks loose dust containing the soil-dwelling fungus, and singing festival-goers breathe in the spores.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 20,000 people traveled from across the state and beyond to attend Lightning in a Bottle between May 22 and 27. Health officials are continuing to investigate the cases linked to the festival.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following news stories about the cases, multiple \u003ca href=\"https://www.reddit.com/r/LightningInABottle/comments/1efxmgw/festival_is_hit_with_deadly_fungus_outbreak_that/\">Reddit users\u003c/a> discussing the festival reported feeling sick, and some say that getting a test for the infection has been difficult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lightning in a Bottle organizers told KQED that health and safety are a primary concern and that the festival adheres to guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, CDPH and local authorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We, like other large scale gatherings in the region, will continue to seek out the most up to date health and safety guidance made available to us as we plan for future events,” organizers said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You really have to advocate to get tested,” one said. Another reported having symptoms since two weeks after the festival but said they were turned away from the doctor’s office without a test.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12001920 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/GettyImages-1386022781.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State medical officials are warning of an increased risk of valley fever infection this fall, the high season throughout Central California. The disease has spread more rapidly this year so far than in previous years, with \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/CDPH%20Document%20Library/CocciinCAProvisionalMonthlyReport.pdf\">6,280 suspected, probable or confirmed infections through the end of July\u003c/a> — about 2,500 more than in the same period in 2023.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The disease is prevalent only in a few areas, including the San Joaquin Valley and desert regions of Arizona, but experts say that California’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12001154/valley-fever-rises-after-california-music-festival-experts-warn-of-climate-change-link\">changing weather patterns\u003c/a> could make the climate here even more conducive to the fungus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A recent study by Alexandra Heaney, an assistant professor of public health at UC San Diego, hypothesizes that the state’s flip-flopping heavy rain and drought periods fuel the fungus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She and her co-authors believe extensive fungus grows during wet, rainy periods, while dry spells allow the fungus to form and release infectious spores into the air. Cocci can also withstand extremely dry, harsh conditions allowing it to outlast much of its competition during droughts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If this is going to continue to become more common due to climate change, it’s something that might be contributing to the increases we’ve seen and may actually promote increases in the future as well,” Heaney told KQED in August.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CDPH Director Dr. Tomás Aragón warns that the state is preparing for “another possible increase,” and Californians should be aware of valley fever symptoms to catch it early.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you have a lingering cough and fatigue, please talk to a doctor about valley fever, especially if you’ve been outdoors in dusty air in the Central Valley or Central Coast regions,” Aragón said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Instead of creating the agency, the amendments proposed earmarking $6 million for the California State University system to lead a study of reparations, according to state Sen. Steven Bradford (D-Gardena), the bill’s author.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SB 1403 was one of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11981271/track-the-success-of-californias-14-reparations-bills-for-black-residents\">14 bills prioritized by the California Legislative Black Caucus\u003c/a> that were drawn from two years of work by the California Reparations Task Force. The first statewide body to study reparations issued its \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/ab3121/report\">final report\u003c/a> in June 2023. KQED has been \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/reparations\">following the state’s reparations work\u003c/a> since the task force’s inception, and creating a state agency to house reparations programs was one of the task force’s first policy recommendations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was the bedrock,” Bradford said. “If you don’t have the agency that stands up all of this, it’s for nothing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was the first year that bills explicitly labeled as part of the reparations effort were introduced. Nine of the CLBC’s priority bills passed, including requiring a formal apology from the state for perpetuating harmful racial prejudice and discrimination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 10th bill — a companion measure to a proposal placed on the November ballot that seeks to remove language from the state constitution that allows involuntary servitude as punishment for criminal offenses — has already been signed by Newsom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Last session, that was like trying to lift an elephant, right?” said Assemblymember Lori Wilson (D-Fairfield), the chair of the CLBC. “This session, it was trying to lift the elephant as well, but we actually got the elephant on the ball. And so, we’ve had wins after wins after wins as it relates to our policy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the bills were significantly watered down, and proposals for more direct relief to Black Californians were either shelved or, in the case of direct cash payments, were never formally introduced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11981271 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/AP24032786348814-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SB 1403 was a late addition to the CLBC’s priority package. It had the support of advocates who believed an agency, which would determine eligibility, was necessary to establish a viable reparations program.\u003cu>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/u>\u003cbr>\n“I don’t know of any other effort for reparations that did not come with some kind of new state or some kind of governmental institution that was set up to do all of the things,” said Chris Lodgson, lead organizer with the Coalition for a Just and Equitable California, pointing to the creation of the Office of Redress Administration to identify the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11906015/how-japanese-americans-in-the-bay-area-are-carrying-forward-the-legacy-of-reparations\">Japanese Americans who were incarcerated during World War II\u003c/a> and eligible for reparations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SB 1331, which would have created a fund to implement reparations policies, found the same fate as SB 1403. SB 1050, which would have developed a state process for reviewing claims of racially motivated uses of eminent domain and providing compensation to eligible former property owners, passed without opposition and is awaiting Newsom’s signature. The fate of the bill, which was reliant on SB 1403 passing, is uncertain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Bradford, Newsom was concerned that creating an agency would create a difficult, ongoing financial commitment. California managed to close a roughly $47 billion budget shortfall this year, but according to analysis by the Legislative Analyst’s Office, the General Fund faces a structural deficit in the tens of billions of dollars over the next several fiscal years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cost was not the only barrier. Lawmakers in the Democratic-controlled Legislature showed little appetite for measures specifically benefitting Black residents. Bills aimed at targeting state grants toward Black Californians were abandoned, as was a proposal to prioritize Black applicants to state licensing boards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Changes aimed at state prisons also proved challenging. While voters will have a chance to change prison labor rules in November, a bill to ban solitary confinement did not move forward. And Assembly Bill 1986 would have initially given the Office of the Inspector General the power to reverse book bans in state prisons. The bill now lets the Inspector General publicize the bans and voice disapproval.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Much like this bill, that [reparations] package was designed to be the first step,” said AB 1986’s author Assemblymember Isaac Bryan (D-Los Angeles). “We know that reparations, repair for the harm that’s happened across California is going to take many, many years. It didn’t happen overnight and it’s not going to be solved in a single legislative session.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11997359\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11997359\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GavinNewsomGetty.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1388\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GavinNewsomGetty.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GavinNewsomGetty-800x555.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GavinNewsomGetty-1020x708.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GavinNewsomGetty-160x111.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GavinNewsomGetty-1536x1066.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GavinNewsomGetty-1920x1332.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gov.

Earlier this year, he set aside $12 million in the budget for reparations programs, though the money is currently not designated for any specific fund or program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I haven’t read [the Reparations report] — I’ve devoured it,” Newsom said during his Jan. 10 state budget proposal presentation. “I’ve analyzed it. I’ve stress tested [the ideas] against things we’ve done, things we’re doing, things that we’d like to do but can’t do because of constitutional constraints. And I’ve been working closely with the Black Caucus.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Marcus Anthony Hunter, a UCLA professor of African American studies and sociology, said Newsom’s continued engagement will be a crucial factor in determining the success of reparations efforts in California moving forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He could have disengaged at the very beginning,” Hunter said. “So now we’re in it to see: How far is he willing to go?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hunter said he’ll be watching to see if Newsom uses his national platform and connections with a potential Kamala Harris administration to tout California’s reparations process nationally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would like to see a push by the governor toward as many things that are possible in a package of reparative justice,” he added. “But also for that push to be a national call on the president to join and lock arms in this and see what is possible across the country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To reparations advocates, Newsom’s proposal to amend SB 1403 was an indication that his support for reparations had faltered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to an analysis by the Government Operations Agency, the agency would cost $3 million to $5 million annually to operate. In a letter sent on Aug. 20 to the Black legislative caucus by CJEC, the group advocated for using some of the $12 million to start the agency. SB 1403 was added to the CLBC’s priority list after the $12 million set aside made the agency financially feasible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We felt like at that time, with the early commitment from the governor and the pro tem and the speaker of this house of allocating $12 million to reparations, that we could potentially get it across the finish line,” Wilson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11909591\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11909591\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/RS54515_007_KQED_LoriWilson_03172022-qut.jpg\" alt=\"A woman wearing glasses and a yellow dress stands outside.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/RS54515_007_KQED_LoriWilson_03172022-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/RS54515_007_KQED_LoriWilson_03172022-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/RS54515_007_KQED_LoriWilson_03172022-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/RS54515_007_KQED_LoriWilson_03172022-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/RS54515_007_KQED_LoriWilson_03172022-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Assemblymember Lori Wilson (D-Fairfield), the chair of the California Legislative Black Caucus. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>During the Democratic National Convention, Bradford said he began to hear that the Newsom administration had concerns about the cost of a reparations agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Aug. 26, Newsom’s staff asked Bradford to pivot. Instead of creating a reparations agency, Newsom’s staff suggested creating a second study, according to Bradford, who will term out of the Legislature this year and is currently running for lieutenant governor. The study would have further researched the task force recommendations and produced a report designing a process to determine eligibility for state reparations programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s office said he does not comment on proposals in the Legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bradford, who also authored SB 1331 and SB 1050, rejected Newsom’s amendment request.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I spent two years of my life studying reparations,” he said. “We didn’t need any more study and it was now time for action. It was now time for implementation,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under SB 1403, a genealogy unit within the agency would have established standards for proving eligibility, something the task force recommended. There was concern within the caucus that Newsom might veto SB 1403 if the bill was sent to his desk without the amendments, according to Bradford.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill was awaiting a final vote in the Assembly, where Bradford is not a member. It was assigned to Assemblymember Reggie Jones-Sawyer (D-Los Angeles), a CLBC member who served on the state’s reparations task force, to present the bill for a vote.[aside postID=news_11999415 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/03/RS63355_048_KQED_CAReparationsTaskForceSac_03032023-qut-1020x680.jpg']He stalled for days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wilson stressed the importance of continuing the CLBC’s historically collaborative relationship on reparations with the governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have to be strategic about it and ensure there are the votes on the floor and that it will be signed by the governor,” she said about SB 1403.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bradford, who said it was him against the caucus, disputed the assertion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The governor’s administration at no time in meeting with me on this bill ever threatened to veto,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the final hours of the session, reparations advocates protested outside the Assembly chambers. And in a surprising move, Assemblymember Bill Essayli (R-Riverside) attempted to present the bill, prompting a confrontation with Bryan on the Assembly Floor. \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/ozprattboxing/status/1830138968785993751\">A video of the interaction\u003c/a> filmed by Essayli has garnered more than 35,000 views.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To some members of CJEC, who have been active in the state’s reparations process since the inception of the reparations task force, SB 1403’s demise is a worrying indication that, despite Newsom’s statements in support of reparations, he might be hesitant to take the bold steps they believe are required to move reparations forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bradford, the CLBC’s vice chair, called the bill’s failure a “great disappointment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve had bills vetoed and you dust yourself off and you move forward, but the nation was watching this one,” he said, adding he’d received phone calls from legislators across the country wanting to emulate the language of the bill. “We had to strike when the iron was hot.

It had the support of advocates who believed an agency, which would determine eligibility, was necessary to establish a viable reparations program.\u003cu>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/u>\u003cbr>\n“I don’t know of any other effort for reparations that did not come with some kind of new state or some kind of governmental institution that was set up to do all of the things,” said Chris Lodgson, lead organizer with the Coalition for a Just and Equitable California, pointing to the creation of the Office of Redress Administration to identify the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11906015/how-japanese-americans-in-the-bay-area-are-carrying-forward-the-legacy-of-reparations\">Japanese Americans who were incarcerated during World War II\u003c/a> and eligible for reparations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SB 1331, which would have created a fund to implement reparations policies, found the same fate as SB 1403. SB 1050, which would have developed a state process for reviewing claims of racially motivated uses of eminent domain and providing compensation to eligible former property owners, passed without opposition and is awaiting Newsom’s signature. The fate of the bill, which was reliant on SB 1403 passing, is uncertain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Bradford, Newsom was concerned that creating an agency would create a difficult, ongoing financial commitment. California managed to close a roughly $47 billion budget shortfall this year, but according to analysis by the Legislative Analyst’s Office, the General Fund faces a structural deficit in the tens of billions of dollars over the next several fiscal years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cost was not the only barrier. Lawmakers in the Democratic-controlled Legislature showed little appetite for measures specifically benefitting Black residents. Bills aimed at targeting state grants toward Black Californians were abandoned, as was a proposal to prioritize Black applicants to state licensing boards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Changes aimed at state prisons also proved challenging. While voters will have a chance to change prison labor rules in November, a bill to ban solitary confinement did not move forward. And Assembly Bill 1986 would have initially given the Office of the Inspector General the power to reverse book bans in state prisons. The bill now lets the Inspector General publicize the bans and voice disapproval.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Much like this bill, that [reparations] package was designed to be the first step,” said AB 1986’s author Assemblymember Isaac Bryan (D-Los Angeles). “We know that reparations, repair for the harm that’s happened across California is going to take many, many years. It didn’t happen overnight and it’s not going to be solved in a single legislative session.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11997359\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11997359\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GavinNewsomGetty.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1388\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GavinNewsomGetty.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GavinNewsomGetty-800x555.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GavinNewsomGetty-1020x708.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GavinNewsomGetty-160x111.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GavinNewsomGetty-1536x1066.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GavinNewsomGetty-1920x1332.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gov.

Earlier this year, he set aside $12 million in the budget for reparations programs, though the money is currently not designated for any specific fund or program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I haven’t read [the Reparations report] — I’ve devoured it,” Newsom said during his Jan. 10 state budget proposal presentation. “I’ve analyzed it. I’ve stress tested [the ideas] against things we’ve done, things we’re doing, things that we’d like to do but can’t do because of constitutional constraints. And I’ve been working closely with the Black Caucus.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Marcus Anthony Hunter, a UCLA professor of African American studies and sociology, said Newsom’s continued engagement will be a crucial factor in determining the success of reparations efforts in California moving forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He could have disengaged at the very beginning,” Hunter said. “So now we’re in it to see: How far is he willing to go?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hunter said he’ll be watching to see if Newsom uses his national platform and connections with a potential Kamala Harris administration to tout California’s reparations process nationally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would like to see a push by the governor toward as many things that are possible in a package of reparative justice,” he added. “But also for that push to be a national call on the president to join and lock arms in this and see what is possible across the country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To reparations advocates, Newsom’s proposal to amend SB 1403 was an indication that his support for reparations had faltered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to an analysis by the Government Operations Agency, the agency would cost $3 million to $5 million annually to operate. In a letter sent on Aug. 20 to the Black legislative caucus by CJEC, the group advocated for using some of the $12 million to start the agency. SB 1403 was added to the CLBC’s priority list after the $12 million set aside made the agency financially feasible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We felt like at that time, with the early commitment from the governor and the pro tem and the speaker of this house of allocating $12 million to reparations, that we could potentially get it across the finish line,” Wilson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11909591\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11909591\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/RS54515_007_KQED_LoriWilson_03172022-qut.jpg\" alt=\"A woman wearing glasses and a yellow dress stands outside.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/RS54515_007_KQED_LoriWilson_03172022-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/RS54515_007_KQED_LoriWilson_03172022-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/RS54515_007_KQED_LoriWilson_03172022-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/RS54515_007_KQED_LoriWilson_03172022-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/RS54515_007_KQED_LoriWilson_03172022-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Assemblymember Lori Wilson (D-Fairfield), the chair of the California Legislative Black Caucus. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>During the Democratic National Convention, Bradford said he began to hear that the Newsom administration had concerns about the cost of a reparations agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Aug. 26, Newsom’s staff asked Bradford to pivot. Instead of creating a reparations agency, Newsom’s staff suggested creating a second study, according to Bradford, who will term out of the Legislature this year and is currently running for lieutenant governor. The study would have further researched the task force recommendations and produced a report designing a process to determine eligibility for state reparations programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s office said he does not comment on proposals in the Legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bradford, who also authored SB 1331 and SB 1050, rejected Newsom’s amendment request.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I spent two years of my life studying reparations,” he said. “We didn’t need any more study and it was now time for action. It was now time for implementation,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under SB 1403, a genealogy unit within the agency would have established standards for proving eligibility, something the task force recommended. There was concern within the caucus that Newsom might veto SB 1403 if the bill was sent to his desk without the amendments, according to Bradford.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill was awaiting a final vote in the Assembly, where Bradford is not a member.

The law only applies to buildings with more than 15 units and allows landlords to collect a fee to cover the cost of reporting tenants’ rent payments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>SB 312 (Wiener):\u003c/b> This is clean-up legislation from an earlier law, SB 886. The original law, which \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billHistoryClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220SB886\">went into effect in 2023\u003c/a>, streamlined construction of student and faculty housing. But, it also required that housing to be Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum-certified.

AB 2872 would close the pay gap and could help the Department of Insurance hire more fraud detectives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>SB 1211 (Skinner): \u003c/b>Further streamlining construction of accessory dwelling units, or ADUs, this bill would increase the number of detached granny flats allowed on multifamily properties, so they can be approved more quickly and avoid long permitting times. Also, if the homeowner decides to replace a carport or driveway with a granny flat, they’re not required to replace the parking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>SB 440 (Skinner):\u003c/b> In 2019, Bay Area leaders got \u003ca href=\"https://nonprofithousing.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/AB-1487-Housing-Alliance-for-the-Bay-Area-HABA.pdf\">a law passed (PDF)\u003c/a> to allow them to create the \u003ca href=\"https://mtc.ca.gov/about-mtc/authorities/bay-area-housing-finance-authority-bahfa#:~:text=Resources%20about%20Pilot%20Programs&text=BAHFA%20was%20established%20by%20California,revenue%20options%20on%20the%20ballot.\">Bay Area Housing Finance Authority\u003c/a>, a regional entity that can raise new revenue and distribute funding.

Gavin Newsom’s desk pluck at the last of the low-hanging fruit stagnating housing production across the state. Here are a few that made the cut:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>AB 2801 (Friedman)\u003c/b>: The bill \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11989419/renters-could-get-help-building-credit-under-proposed-law-why-are-tenant-advocates-wary\">prevents landlords from keeping a tenant’s security deposit\u003c/a> to pay for cleaning, as long as the tenant leaves the home as clean as they found it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>AB 2747 (Haney):\u003c/b> It \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11989419/renters-could-get-help-building-credit-under-proposed-law-why-are-tenant-advocates-wary\">requires landlords to give tenants the option to opt into reporting\u003c/a> their positive rent payments to a credit bureau agency, which could help boost their credit score. The law only applies to buildings with more than 15 units and allows landlords to collect a fee to cover the cost of reporting tenants’ rent payments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>SB 312 (Wiener):\u003c/b> This is clean-up legislation from an earlier law, SB 886. The original law, which \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billHistoryClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220SB886\">went into effect in 2023\u003c/a>, streamlined construction of student and faculty housing. But, it also required that housing to be Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum-certified. Achieving the highest LEED certification necessitates a lengthy approval process that can delay tenants from moving in. SB 312 would change the law so that buildings have to qualify for LEED Platinum certification, but don’t necessarily have to receive the certification before tenants can move in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>SB 937 (Wiener):\u003c/b> This bill \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11983000/california-legislators-take-aim-at-construction-fees-to-boost-housing\">would allow developers to pay hefty development fees\u003c/a>, imposed by cities, after people have moved into the new housing. Right now, those fees are often due at the start of or during construction — before developers have had a chance to collect rents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>AB 2872 (Calderon):\u003c/b> There is a 20% pay gap between the detectives who work on insurance fraud at the California Department of Insurance and those who work with the Department of Justice. AB 2872 would close the pay gap and could help the Department of Insurance hire more fraud detectives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>SB 1211 (Skinner): \u003c/b>Further streamlining construction of accessory dwelling units, or ADUs, this bill would increase the number of detached granny flats allowed on multifamily properties, so they can be approved more quickly and avoid long permitting times. Also, if the homeowner decides to replace a carport or driveway with a granny flat, they’re not required to replace the parking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>SB 440 (Skinner):\u003c/b> In 2019, Bay Area leaders got \u003ca href=\"https://nonprofithousing.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/AB-1487-Housing-Alliance-for-the-Bay-Area-HABA.pdf\">a law passed (PDF)\u003c/a> to allow them to create the \u003ca href=\"https://mtc.ca.gov/about-mtc/authorities/bay-area-housing-finance-authority-bahfa#:~:text=Resources%20about%20Pilot%20Programs&text=BAHFA%20was%20established%20by%20California,revenue%20options%20on%20the%20ballot.\">Bay Area Housing Finance Authority\u003c/a>, a regional entity that can raise new revenue and distribute funding.

The suspect, identified only as a 17-year-old boy from Tracy, also faces charges of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and attempted second-degree robbery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, the charges will be filed in juvenile court, Jenkins said at an afternoon press conference, noting that California law requires prosecutors to request a judge to rule on a minor’s fitness to be tried in the adult system. Jenkins’ office is still reviewing the case as it considers whether to seek a transfer to adult court, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is still a very fresh investigation,” Jenkins said, calling it “premature” for her to say whether she believes the suspect should be tried as an adult. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The teenager is expected to be arraigned Wednesday afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pearsall, 23, was shot in the chest on Saturday afternoon and released from San Francisco General Hospital the next day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the rookie has been added to the non-football injury list, meaning he will not play in at least the 49ers’ first four games, his team has confirmed he is back in the weight room and will be expected on the field this season. At a press conference on Tuesday, general manager John Lynch called the recovery of the team’s first-round draft pick “nothing short of miraculous.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By the grace of God, Ricky Pearsall is here with the team, and doing well,” Lynch said. “We just all feel incredibly blessed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After appearing at an autograph signing earlier Saturday, Pearsall was walking to his car alone at 3:30 p.m., carrying shopping bags from one of Union Square’s luxury stores, when the suspect “spotted him for his expensive watch,” the\u003cem> San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/em> reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suspect approached Pearsall at gunpoint over the Rolex near the corner of Geary Street and Grant Avenue. Pearsall and the suspect struggled over the gun, and during the tussle, both were shot, police said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Video recorded by witnesses shows Pearsall in a daze in front of the Diptyque store, shirtless with blood streaming down his chest and a large bandage over the wound, as paramedics help him into an ambulance. Both Pearsall and the suspected shooter were transferred to San Francisco General Hospital for care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pearsall’s mother posted on social media on Sunday that her son had been shot in the chest, with the bullet exiting his back and missing his vital organs. Pearsall’s wound did not require surgery, the 49ers confirmed in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Police Chief William Scott said a gun was recovered at the scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott, who spoke with Pearsall about what happened, added it doesn’t appear Pearsall was targeted due to being an NFL player. Jenkins said Tuesday that it was not yet clear whether the suspect acted alone or with anyone else, adding that police were still reviewing surveillance video and other evidence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"criminal justice coverage\" tag=\"criminal-justice\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2022, the San Francisco Police Department \u003ca href=\"https://www.sanfranciscopolice.org/news/sfpd-warns-public-about-high-value-watch-robberies-22-094\">warned\u003c/a> of thieves targeting individuals wearing luxury watches such as Rolexes valued at tens of thousands of dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayor London Breed noted that this kind of incident is rare, and thanked law enforcement and first responders. “We hope that people who think that they can come to San Francisco and commit these acts understand that they will be held to account,” Breed said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The attack on Pearsall has renewed fears over crime despite city data showing declining rates — in the first quarter of 2024, property crime fell by 32%, violent crime by 14%, and gun violence by 38%, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sf.gov/news/san-francisco-2024-crime-rates-down-city-prepares-implement-new-voter-approved-public-safety\">according to the city\u003c/a>. On the day of the shooting, mayoral candidate Mark Farrell criticized Breed on social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Enough is enough,” he posted on X. “If we want public safety in San Francisco, then we need change in City Hall.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Farrell also referenced the Aug. 21 shooting of a Galileo High School student and the severe injury of a young girl in a shooting in the Crocker-Amazon neighborhood the same day Pearsall was attacked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Farrell’s opponents quickly responded and called the move to politicize the shooting “crass” and “opportunistic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Concerns about public safety have remained a top issue for voters, and such a high-profile shooting in broad daylight threatens to become a public relations disaster as San Francisco struggles to rehabilitate the image of downtown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jenkins said she did not want to make an example of any case but argued she was elected district attorney “in large part because the city was fed up with the fact that crime was being overly tolerated.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And so I have attempted to make it clear that there will be accountability when people commit crimes, most certainly serious crimes of this nature,” she said. “Regardless of the status of the victim, my office’s job is to ensure that we have appropriate consequences, and I do want it to spread far and wide that that will be the case when something happens in San Francisco.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/jservantez\">Jared Servantez\u003c/a> and Billy Cruz contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

On the day of the shooting, mayoral candidate Mark Farrell criticized Breed on social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Enough is enough,” he posted on X. “If we want public safety in San Francisco, then we need change in City Hall.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Farrell also referenced the Aug. 21 shooting of a Galileo High School student and the severe injury of a young girl in a shooting in the Crocker-Amazon neighborhood the same day Pearsall was attacked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Farrell’s opponents quickly responded and called the move to politicize the shooting “crass” and “opportunistic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Concerns about public safety have remained a top issue for voters, and such a high-profile shooting in broad daylight threatens to become a public relations disaster as San Francisco struggles to rehabilitate the image of downtown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jenkins said she did not want to make an example of any case but argued she was elected district attorney “in large part because the city was fed up with the fact that crime was being overly tolerated.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And so I have attempted to make it clear that there will be accountability when people commit crimes, most certainly serious crimes of this nature,” she said. “Regardless of the status of the victim, my office’s job is to ensure that we have appropriate consequences, and I do want it to spread far and wide that that will be the case when something happens in San Francisco.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/jservantez\">Jared Servantez\u003c/a> and Billy Cruz contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Gavin Newsom’s signature, would double daily fines for water rights holders who commit minor violations. Those violating curtailment orders could face fines of up to $10,000 per day — a 20-fold increase — plus $2,500 for every acre-foot of water taken.

"content": "\u003cp>After years of being bashed in conservative media and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/politics\">politics\u003c/a>, California politicians are on the offensive this election cycle — and relishing the opportunity to talk up the Golden State as one of their own runs for president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They may have to do so without the candidate’s help, however: \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12001556/harris-makes-her-case-for-president-emphasizing-freedom-and-middle-class-opportunity\">Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign\u003c/a> and national Democrats seem happy to tamp down most direct mentions of the lightning rod of a state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California, and the Bay Area in particular, have long been held up by the right wing as a dystopic example of progressive failures. But at last week’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12001412/kamala-harris-and-the-biggest-speech-of-her-life-5-takeaways-from-the-dnc\">Democratic National Convention\u003c/a> in Chicago, some of its leading Democrats were eager to make their case for why that characterization is wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayor London Breed, a longtime friend of Harris, was on a dual mission: support Harris and champion San Francisco. Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has lived something of a parallel political life to Harris, declined an official speaking slot at the convention but spent much of its final days running around the United Center speaking to mainstream and right-wing media alike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Sen. Laphonza Butler, who was appointed by Newsom last year to the seat long held by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12000760/sen-laphonza-butler-on-the-rise-of-her-friend-kamala-harris\">told KQED’s Political Breakdown\u003c/a> that her story of California is a universal one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I start by telling a great story of California’s great diversity,” she said, noting that it’s not just ethnic and racial diversity. “We are cities and towns and suburbs and rural communities, and we’re a border state. And we have challenges of wildfires, challenges of earthquakes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are right on the Pacific Ocean, and we have beautiful beaches that are being eroded every day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That means California has things in common with places like Iowa, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Florida, Butler said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our farmers are trying to find ways to make sure that they are able to water their cattle or their crops,” she continued. “That is true for Iowa. And Kansas. And so, to me, it is helping people to connect with the part of California that means something to them that they just don’t know about yet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12001032/at-dnc-roll-call-california-shines-as-harris-seals-nomination\">moment in the spotlight at the DNC came Tuesday night\u003c/a>, during the roll call on the convention floor where each state called out the number of delegates it was pledging to Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As is customary, the nominee’s home state cast the votes — led by Newsom, who was bursting with California pride — that put Harris over the top for the nomination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12001082\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1999px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12001082\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/GettyImages-2167653829_qed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1999\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/GettyImages-2167653829_qed.jpg 1999w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/GettyImages-2167653829_qed-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/GettyImages-2167653829_qed-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/GettyImages-2167653829_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/GettyImages-2167653829_qed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/GettyImages-2167653829_qed-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1999px) 100vw, 1999px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">California Gov. Gavin Newsom, standing behind Rep. Maxine Waters and Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, joins the California delegation as they cast their votes during the Ceremonial Roll Call of States on the second day of the Democratic National Convention at the United Center on Aug. 20, 2024, in Chicago, Illinois. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“We are a state of dreamers and doers, of entrepreneurs and innovators, that pride themselves on being on the cutting edge of new ideas,” Newsom said to cheers. “California’s the most diverse state, in the world’s most diverse democracy. And we pride ourselves on our ability to live together and band together and prosper together across every conceivable and imaginable difference. But the thing we pride ourselves most on is that we believe the future happens in California first.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris name-checked California twice in her speech. She has studiously \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/25/us/politics/kamala-harris-berkeley-hometown.html\">avoided direct references to Berkeley\u003c/a>, where she was born, but she spoke warmly of her time growing up in a working-class community in the East Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the Bay, you either live in the hills or the flatlands. We lived in the flats. A beautiful, working-class neighborhood of firefighters, nurses and construction workers. All who tended their lawns with pride,” she told the convention hall Thursday night as she accepted the nomination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris noted that her single mother worked long hours, relying on her “trusted circle” to help raise her daughters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“None of them family by blood, and all of them family by love,” she said. “Family who taught us how to make gumbo, how to play chess — and sometimes even let us win. Family who loved us, believed in us and told us we could be anything and do anything. They instilled in us the values they personified — community, faith and the importance of treating others as you would want to be treated. With kindness, respect and compassion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Harris sought to tie her upbringing to a broader American story that can resonate in swing states and with persuadable voters, Breed leaned into San Francisco’s uniqueness.

But at last week’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12001412/kamala-harris-and-the-biggest-speech-of-her-life-5-takeaways-from-the-dnc\">Democratic National Convention\u003c/a> in Chicago, some of its leading Democrats were eager to make their case for why that characterization is wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayor London Breed, a longtime friend of Harris, was on a dual mission: support Harris and champion San Francisco. Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has lived something of a parallel political life to Harris, declined an official speaking slot at the convention but spent much of its final days running around the United Center speaking to mainstream and right-wing media alike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And we pride ourselves on our ability to live together and band together and prosper together across every conceivable and imaginable difference. But the thing we pride ourselves most on is that we believe the future happens in California first.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris name-checked California twice in her speech. She has studiously \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/25/us/politics/kamala-harris-berkeley-hometown.html\">avoided direct references to Berkeley\u003c/a>, where she was born, but she spoke warmly of her time growing up in a working-class community in the East Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the Bay, you either live in the hills or the flatlands. We lived in the flats. A beautiful, working-class neighborhood of firefighters, nurses and construction workers. All who tended their lawns with pride,” she told the convention hall Thursday night as she accepted the nomination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris noted that her single mother worked long hours, relying on her “trusted circle” to help raise her daughters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“None of them family by blood, and all of them family by love,” she said. “Family who taught us how to make gumbo, how to play chess — and sometimes even let us win. Family who loved us, believed in us and told us we could be anything and do anything. They instilled in us the values they personified — community, faith and the importance of treating others as you would want to be treated. With kindness, respect and compassion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Harris sought to tie her upbringing to a broader American story that can resonate in swing states and with persuadable voters, Breed leaned into San Francisco’s uniqueness.

And more recently, groups on dirt bikes speeding down streets, blocking intersections and doing stunts have frustrated many in San Francisco. Last week, a video on Reddit began circulating after one group of riders assaulted a man on a scooter at a \u003ca href=\"https://www.reddit.com/r/sanfrancisco/comments/1ey7woi/i_love_my_city_but_goddamn_san_francisco/?utm_source=embedv2&utm_medium=post_embed&utm_content=whitespace&embed_host_url=https%3A%2F%2Fsfstandard.com%2F2024%2F08%2F22%2Fvideo-san-francisco-dirt-bike-rider-fights-scooter-rider%2F&force_seo=1\">stoplight on Valencia Street.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11998404 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240725-BreedEndorsementPresser-17-BL_qed-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The number of sideshows across the Bay Area \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Inside-the-massive-surge-in-sideshows-across-the-16530766.php\">spiked\u003c/a> during the pandemic, and it has remained a fairly common weekend and late-night occurrence to see drivers doing donuts while other cars block intersections and roads. In 2020, SFPD created a unit dedicated to responding to these street takeovers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sideshows are reckless and endanger pedestrians, local businesses, and participants themselves.
