Among her favorite stories: an interview with George Lucas at Skywalker Ranch that broke the story about his plan to build a cultural museum, and a pirate Trader Joe's operation in Vancouver that prompted the grocery chain to sue -- and lose. She joined KQED in 2013 and was previously a reporter and editor at the San Francisco Chronicle, the Hearst-owned San Francisco Examiner and the Hayward Daily Review.",

She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R.

It also shows that most of the workers who will benefit from a wage hike are Latino.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s big positives that come with this and big negatives that come with this and both the positives will be larger and the negatives will be larger in the Central Valley,” Michael says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same is true in areas like the Inland Empire, just East of Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a disproportionately large number of marginally educated, lower-income workers,” says economist John Husing, who consults for local governments and private business in urban Riverside and San Bernadino County. Otherwise known as the Inland Empire, it’s a traditionally lower-income region with a blue-collar job market, home to a number of companies that pay less than $30,000 a year to most workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Husing supports the wage hike proposal, but says it’s a good thing it would phase in over 6 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”OzqnjgE64T9bt6sY5o6ddSf9TGAobmEY”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Bringing it up at a moderate pace really works for the workforce. But it also will not cause the dislocations that will would normally occur if you moved it too fast,” Husing says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s talking about the dislocation of jobs: bosses cutting staff, shutting down operations, even leaving the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Husing believes the Inland Empire region is overdue for a hike in the minimum wage. But he also didn’t have much faith that it would happen locally, because local governments in the region are much more conservative on labor issues than neighboring Los Angeles, which \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-minimum-wage-hike-20150518-story.html\">passed its own $15 minimum wage\u003c/a>, set to phase in by 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But David Neumark, who teaches economics at UC Irvine, says the state should have taken a wait-and-see approach, examine the effects of local minimum wage hikes in cities like L.A. before imposing a one-size-fits-all approach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I actually think it’s kind of reckless to just go ahead and do that everywhere else before we learn something about the consequences in these cities,” Neumark says. “A more sober view would say, ‘OK some cities have done this, let’s get some serious research done, let’s learn more about what happens before we say that we know for sure that $15 in Fresno is not gonna do a lot of damage.'”\u003c/p>\n\n",

It's likely going to be the initiative that makes it to California's ballot, according to Beau Kilmer, co-director of the RAND Drug Policy Research Center. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far it has more traction than the other marijuana-related initiatives being circulated.

People 21 and older \u003cem>would\u003c/em> be able to walk into licensed retailers and buy marijuana without a prescription. When those retailers could open up is unclear.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'If adult legalization passes in November, you’re not going to be able to walk into a supermarket in December and buy a joint.'\u003ccite>Beau Kilmer,\u003cbr>RAND Drug Policy Research Center\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>But where you could buy marijuana would still depend on what city you're in. Currently, individual cities can decide whether or not they allow medical dispensaries to set up and sell pot. Some do, and some don't. The ones that don't — for example, Pasadena — can continue to outlaw marijuana shops, even if recreational weed becomes legal statewide. People living in cities where pot shops are not allowed could still have it delivered to their door, or they could simply travel to another city to buy it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pot could remain a cash business, as it has been, said Kilmer, because marijuana is illegal under federal law, and banks are federally-regulated. In order for that to change, there would have to be changes at the federal level. In other states that have fully-legalized marijuana, pot shops continue to be mostly cash businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Would There Be a Limit on How Much Marijuana I Can Possess?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, 28.5 grams, or a little over an ounce of marijuana, in plant form. If it's in the form of a concentrate, the limit is 8 grams. Since people can legally cultivate up to six plants on their property, they could end up with more than 28.5 grams of harvestable marijuana. In that case, no more than the maximum possession amount can leave the property at one time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Smokin-800x509.jpg\" alt=\"A man smokes a joint in public.\" width=\"800\" height=\"509\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-10912117\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Smokin-800x509.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Smokin-400x255.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Smokin.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Smokin-1180x751.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Smokin-960x611.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Would Everyone Be Smoking in Public?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not legally.

Consumers would know where their product came from, what products were used to grow it and how much THC (the psychoactive chemical in pot) exists in what they buy. All of that information would have to be included in an ingredient list on the pot product. Manufacturers would also have to include whether the product was made in a facility that also processes nuts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There would also be a required legal warning on marijuana packaging, as there is on cigarette packs.

People 21 and older \u003cem>would\u003c/em> be able to walk into licensed retailers and buy marijuana without a prescription. When those retailers could open up is unclear.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'If adult legalization passes in November, you’re not going to be able to walk into a supermarket in December and buy a joint.'\u003ccite>Beau Kilmer,\u003cbr>RAND Drug Policy Research Center\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>But where you could buy marijuana would still depend on what city you're in. Currently, individual cities can decide whether or not they allow medical dispensaries to set up and sell pot. Some do, and some don't. The ones that don't — for example, Pasadena — can continue to outlaw marijuana shops, even if recreational weed becomes legal statewide. People living in cities where pot shops are not allowed could still have it delivered to their door, or they could simply travel to another city to buy it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pot could remain a cash business, as it has been, said Kilmer, because marijuana is illegal under federal law, and banks are federally-regulated. In order for that to change, there would have to be changes at the federal level. In other states that have fully-legalized marijuana, pot shops continue to be mostly cash businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Would There Be a Limit on How Much Marijuana I Can Possess?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, 28.5 grams, or a little over an ounce of marijuana, in plant form. If it's in the form of a concentrate, the limit is 8 grams. Since people can legally cultivate up to six plants on their property, they could end up with more than 28.5 grams of harvestable marijuana. In that case, no more than the maximum possession amount can leave the property at one time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Smokin-800x509.jpg\" alt=\"A man smokes a joint in public.\" width=\"800\" height=\"509\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-10912117\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Smokin-800x509.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Smokin-400x255.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Smokin.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Smokin-1180x751.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Smokin-960x611.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Would Everyone Be Smoking in Public?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not legally. The same restrictions (and then some) would apply to marijuana that apply to tobacco. There would be no consumption allowed in public spaces, in schools or in businesses, unless the businesses are licensed to allow that type of activity. It'll also continue to be illegal to operate motor vehicles under the influence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How Could Legal Marijuana Be Different Than What's Currently Out There?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It would be much more regulated, as the entire infrastructure would be tracked from seed to sale. Consumers would know where their product came from, what products were used to grow it and how much THC (the psychoactive chemical in pot) exists in what they buy. All of that information would have to be included in an ingredient list on the pot product. Manufacturers would also have to include whether the product was made in a facility that also processes nuts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There would also be a required legal warning on marijuana packaging, as there is on cigarette packs.

"title": "As Minimum Wage Heads to November Ballot, Business Groups Leap to Fight It",
"headTitle": "Election 2016 | The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>On Tuesday, just hours after news that a ballot measure to raise California's minimum wage to $15 is now eligible for the statewide ballot in November, business leaders across the state vowed to fight it. But they left the door open for a compromise on the issue in the Legislature that would cost them less.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Theresa Harvey, president and CEO of the North Orange County Chamber of Commerce, said she knew the measure was coming and has been preparing to fight it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s going to force more and more businesses out of California,\" she said. \"It’s going to be impossible for employers to keep within the law and it’s going to drive more people to hire fewer employees.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harvey said her group has an article in the quarterly newsletter set to go out soon telling members why they should oppose the measure. The chamber also has social media and email outreach plans in place to try and build support to vote it down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"xyAhjsY0jaYcM4FZEhfS3WMAcOwPSTNz\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Due to a recent law change, the ballot measure's proponents have until June 30 to withdraw the initiative from the November ballot. That could happen if the Legislature were to pass a minimum wage bill before then.

But they left the door open for a compromise on the issue in the Legislature that would cost them less.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Theresa Harvey, president and CEO of the North Orange County Chamber of Commerce, said she knew the measure was coming and has been preparing to fight it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s going to force more and more businesses out of California,\" she said. \"It’s going to be impossible for employers to keep within the law and it’s going to drive more people to hire fewer employees.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harvey said her group has an article in the quarterly newsletter set to go out soon telling members why they should oppose the measure. The chamber also has social media and email outreach plans in place to try and build support to vote it down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Due to a recent law change, the ballot measure's proponents have until June 30 to withdraw the initiative from the November ballot. That could happen if the Legislature were to pass a minimum wage bill before then. Senate Bill 3, which would raise California's minimum wage to $13, has been making its way through the Legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Then it would once again be like the other tenants in the building — small companies, renting out space, trying to make it big.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
