I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

Mayor Michael Tubbs helped spearhead this trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED's Lily Jamali spoke with Tubbs about new data that shows how people are spending the money during the COVID-19 pandemic. He also revealed that the pandemic has prompted his team to work on extending the experiment, which is supposed to end this summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This interview has been edited for brevity.\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED's Lily Jamali: I'm very interested in new data that Stockton has access to on how people in that experiment are spending the money during COVID-19. What have you learned?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mayor Michael Tubbs:\u003c/strong> We have learned that, again, just like you were doing before, a lot of folks are spending money on real necessities. So we found that during the COVID time, food spending went up, from about a third of all purchases to up to 50%. Spending declined on things like appliances and clothing, etcetera. Folks are really hunkering down and making sure they have the basics to shelter in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Stockton Mayor Michael Tubbs\"]'It's time to really think about a social safety net and understand that we live in a time of pandemics.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What else has struck you about this data?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think the biggest question that arises from the data [is] if these 120 individuals who were randomly selected, during this pandemic, what would they be doing if they didn't have that $500? How would they have food? Where would they get food from? That causes me to ask about the 300,000-plus other people in my city, and we're doing everything we can to make sure that folks have access to food in a way that's affordable or free.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The experiment is set to sunset in the next couple of months. Has there been talk about extending it out further, given what's going on with the pandemic?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Absolutely. We've been talking to a couple of folks about extending it further. And hopefully, in the next couple of weeks, we'll have an announcement on that. And we're working overtime to make that happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"resource\" label=\"coronavirus resources\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The first time we talked about \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11732253/stocktons-guaranteed-income-experiment-why-mayor-tubbs-is-doing-it\">guaranteed income in Stockton was March of 2019\u003c/a>. You've had a lot of time to absorb the results of this experiment, in addition to being really pivotal in spearheading it. It's been striking to see people like Sen. Kamala Harris advocating for a very similar structure during the pandemic. She's calling now for $2,000 a month to go to every American while this goes on. She's a moderate Democrat. Are you surprised to see people like her pushing this idea?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, actually, no. What's interesting about this concept is that it actually has bipartisan support. You have folks like Sen. Romney and others talking about direct cash assistance to folks in this pandemic. There will be a prolonged economic crisis after COVID-19, particularly for the groups who are oftentimes most impacted by downturns in the economy: people of color, women of color, etcetera. So I would argue that $2,000 a month during a pandemic is a great step, but it's time to really think about a social safety net and understand that we live in a time of pandemics. If it's not an illness, there's an earthquake. If it's not an earthquake, there's a fire. These happen yearly, so we need to make sure that folks have the tools they need to build a great foundation. I feel a guaranteed income is an important part of that solution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

So we found that during the COVID time, food spending went up, from about a third of all purchases to up to 50%. Spending declined on things like appliances and clothing, etcetera. Folks are really hunkering down and making sure they have the basics to shelter in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

How would they have food? Where would they get food from? That causes me to ask about the 300,000-plus other people in my city, and we're doing everything we can to make sure that folks have access to food in a way that's affordable or free.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The experiment is set to sunset in the next couple of months. Has there been talk about extending it out further, given what's going on with the pandemic?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Absolutely. We've been talking to a couple of folks about extending it further. And hopefully, in the next couple of weeks, we'll have an announcement on that. And we're working overtime to make that happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

You've had a lot of time to absorb the results of this experiment, in addition to being really pivotal in spearheading it. It's been striking to see people like Sen. Kamala Harris advocating for a very similar structure during the pandemic. She's calling now for $2,000 a month to go to every American while this goes on. She's a moderate Democrat. Are you surprised to see people like her pushing this idea?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, actually, no. What's interesting about this concept is that it actually has bipartisan support. You have folks like Sen. Romney and others talking about direct cash assistance to folks in this pandemic. There will be a prolonged economic crisis after COVID-19, particularly for the groups who are oftentimes most impacted by downturns in the economy: people of color, women of color, etcetera. So I would argue that $2,000 a month during a pandemic is a great step, but it's time to really think about a social safety net and understand that we live in a time of pandemics. If it's not an illness, there's an earthquake. If it's not an earthquake, there's a fire. These happen yearly, so we need to make sure that folks have the tools they need to build a great foundation. I feel a guaranteed income is an important part of that solution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Wells Fargo is one of more than 5,000 lenders approved by the SBA, which is helping to oversee the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Blum said the bank’s website told him that he had to submit a request for his application before he could officially apply — Wells Fargo and other banks called these “expression of interest” forms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Kenny Blum, Little Truckee Ice Creamery owner\"]\"The next morning, I woke up to the headline saying that the PPP funding had run out.\"[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around the first of April, Blum submitted that request. Two weeks later, he got an email saying that his application was ready to be completed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Blum said he stayed up late to fill out the application and upload necessary materials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The next morning, I woke up to the headline saying that the PPP funding had run out,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What’s even more frustrating, Blum said, was that other small business owners he knows, who went to community banks, fared much better than he did. One of them got his loan the same day that Blum received the go-ahead from Wells Fargo to simply submit his application, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Blum is not alone in his experience, and a coalition of small businesses in California has \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonbfreeman/2020/04/23/ppp-lawsuits-allege-banks-favored-larger-customers-a-second-round-of-funding-likely/#5f779c211bf1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">filed a lawsuit\u003c/a> against Wells Fargo and three other major banks for prioritizing applications that they allege were more profitable to the banks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wells Fargo would not offer comment on the legal action. In addition to the suit, \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbsnews.com/news/wells-fargo-paycheck-protection-program-loans-faces-government-investigation/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recent reports\u003c/a> indicate authorities are now investigating Wells Fargo's PPP lending practices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the SBA, the paycheck program is first come, first served. The administration said it relies on a set formula to calculate loan amounts, so that once all paperwork is submitted, it should just be a matter of the banks processing submissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, it appears that loan processing, especially at some big banks, was slowed for other reasons. Because the government rolled out the program so quickly, they were still firming up certain guidelines when it launched. Some larger banks took longer to process applications, according to a report by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2020-04-18/small-business-loans-coronavirus-unemployment\">Los Angeles Times\u003c/a>, because they wanted more clarification on certain guidelines and feared they'd be sanctioned if their paperwork didn't meet standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If a smaller bank spent less time on details and prioritized processing, they weren't penalized, at least during PPP's first round. In an \u003ca href=\"https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/136/Paycheck-Protection-Program-Frequently-Asked-Questions.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">online FAQ guide\u003c/a>, the U.S. Department of the Treasury confirmed that any banks that didn't initially understand PPP guidelines would not need to withdraw the applications they submitted during the first round.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/B1uZb8fh2oK/\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Round Two: Which Bank to Apply With?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In the lead up to the second round of funding, Blum hoped the process would be smoother, since Wells Fargo already had his application from last time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even before the official launch, he’d started getting confusing messages about whether he’d have to start his application over. He decided to submit another one, because his branch's staff said that was the safer way to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an email, Wells Fargo spokesman Ruben Pulido confirmed that customers like Blum do not need to fill out a new application, and that the bank would continue processing loan requests in the order it had received them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that’s a good thing for Blum, because \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/04/27/846197794/small-business-loans-site-crashes-on-1st-day-of-reopening\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">not only did the SBA’s portal crash on April 27,\u003c/a> the first day of the relaunch, but Wells Fargo stopped accepting new PPP applications on April 30.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While many small business owners may feel stuck and frustrated because their applications seemingly aren't moving forward, the SBA said there's an alternative. SBA regional communications director Miryam Barajas confirmed that businesses can have applications open with multiple lenders, and that the system would ensure they are only funded once.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as Blum and another small business owner who reached out to KQED found out there's a catch there, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"coronavirus\" label=\"related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Blum tried to apply with other banks, including Plumas Bank, Bank of the West, Bank of America, Citibank and US Bank, among several others, he was told he had to have an established banking relationship prior to Feb. 15. That message is also posted on the above banks' websites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This means Blum and those like him are confined only to lenders with whom they had pre-existing relationships. It’s difficult to confirm how many banks have a similar \"established banking relationship\" policy because there are so many — California lending institutions take up almost 26 pages of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.sba.gov/sites/default/files/2020-05/PPP_Lender_List_200505.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">list of approved PPP lenders\u003c/a> updated by the SBA last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to questions about this hurdle, Barajas said in an email that she was not sure how often lenders were turning away PPP applicants. She also reiterated that the SBA has approved thousands of potential lenders for the program\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sba.gov/sites/default/files/2020-05/PPP_Report_200508.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">most recent SBA report\u003c/a> on the second round of PPP funding, more than $35 billion in loans were approved by California banks just last week — the most of any state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/B-yPkPThvPg/\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Loan Approved\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Nearly two months after COVID-19 forced Blum to drastically scale back his business, he got good news: his PPP loan came through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Now I have to figure out how to navigate the rules,\" said Blum in a text message. \"I've already hired 2 people this week and plan to hire more as local restaurants are opening up for seating.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the course of reporting this story, Wells Fargo representatives asked the reporter for Blum's information in order to reach out to him directly about his loan's progress. Blum said he thinks this story may have expedited his application, though he can't be sure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wells Fargo spokesman Pulido responded, \"Applications were processed in the order they were completed, and we are glad Mr. Blum received funding to help his small business.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Nevada County, where Blum's ice cream shop is located, eases towards reopening, there may be more walk-up traffic for Blum. The Creamery also reinstituted taco Fridays — for pick-up only for now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Blum said he’s taking it day by day and doing his best to stay positive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>May 12: This story was updated to reflect that Kenny Blum received a PPP loan on May 9, shortly before publication of the original story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Editor's note: KQED is among the local businesses and media organizations that have received a PPP loan.

Public health experts say the orders have reduced the number of new coronavirus cases nationwide. California Gov. Gavin Newsom allowed the Bay Area counties to continue restrictions while easing them in other areas of the state.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Elon Musk\"]\"Frankly, this is the final straw.\"[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement Saturday, Alameda County’s Health Department said it has been working with Tesla to develop a safety plan allowing the Fremont plant to reopen while protecting workers. “We look forward to coming to an agreement on an appropriate safety plan very soon,” the statement said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the statement also said residents and businesses have made sacrifices to protect the health of people in the region. “It is our collective responsibility to move through the phases of reopening and loosening the restrictions of the shelter-in-place order in the safest way possible, guided by data and science,” the department said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fremont Mayor Lily Mei wrote in a statement that she is growing concerned about the regional economy without provisions for major manufacturing to resume operations. “We know many essential businesses have proven they can successfully operate using strict safety and social distancing practices,” the statement said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1259261146009178112\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Emails seeking comment from Newsom have not been returned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite Musk’s threat, it would be costly and difficult to quickly shift production from Fremont to Texas or Nevada. The Fremont facility, which was formerly run jointly by General Motors and Toyota, currently is Tesla’s only U.S. vehicle assembly plant, and the company would lose critical production if it shut the plant down to move equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Moving away from Fremont would take at least 12 to 18 months and could add risk to the manufacturing and logistics process in the meantime,” Wedbush Securities analyst Daniel Ives wrote in a note to investors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Musk plans another U.S. factory to increase output, possibly in Texas, and could move production once that plant is up and running.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lack of production in Fremont cuts off Tesla’s revenue and is a big financial strain. On a conference call last month, Musk said the company only has assembly plants in Fremont and Shanghai, and the Fremont facility produces the majority of its vehicles. He called the closure of Fremont a “serious risk.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms for most people. But it has killed more than 77,000 people in the U.S., with the death toll rising.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ives wrote that there’s now a high-stakes poker game between Musk and county officials — and Musk showed his cards. “Now all eyes move to the courts and the response from Alameda County and potentially California state officials.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Musk’s tweets come as competing automakers are starting to reopen factories in the U.S. Toyota will restart production on Monday, while General Motors, Ford and Fiat Chrysler all plan to restart their plants gradually on May 18. Tesla is the only major automaker with a factory in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Musk’s threats came after a series of bizarre tweets earlier this month, including one that said Tesla’s stock price was too high. Musk also posted parts of the U.S. national anthem and wrote that he would sell his houses and other possessions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Associated Press reporters Michael Liedtke and Daisy Nguyen in San Francisco contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The Fremont facility, which was formerly run jointly by General Motors and Toyota, currently is Tesla’s only U.S. vehicle assembly plant, and the company would lose critical production if it shut the plant down to move equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Moving away from Fremont would take at least 12 to 18 months and could add risk to the manufacturing and logistics process in the meantime,” Wedbush Securities analyst Daniel Ives wrote in a note to investors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Musk plans another U.S. factory to increase output, possibly in Texas, and could move production once that plant is up and running.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lack of production in Fremont cuts off Tesla’s revenue and is a big financial strain. On a conference call last month, Musk said the company only has assembly plants in Fremont and Shanghai, and the Fremont facility produces the majority of its vehicles. He called the closure of Fremont a “serious risk.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms for most people.

Tesla is the only major automaker with a factory in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Musk’s threats came after a series of bizarre tweets earlier this month, including one that said Tesla’s stock price was too high.

Among the daunting challenges they’ll have to tackle is a budgetary shortfall of more than $53 billion, according to an updated projection by the California Department of Finance. The massive fiscal hole reflects declining tax revenues, record unemployment and expenditures the state has made to address the public health crisis caused by the coronavirus. Meanwhile, other long-standing challenges loom, from boosting affordable housing to fighting climate change and helping ailing school districts.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Assemblymember David Chiu, D-San Francisco\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Assemblymember James Gallagher, R-Yuba City\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Not ‘Business as Usual’ for Retailers Ready to Reopen\u003c/b>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Weeks of sheltering in place have taken a heavy toll on retailers. This week, Gov. Gavin Newsom began loosening restrictions for some of them as the state transitions from phase one to phase two of reopening this Friday.

Among the daunting challenges they’ll have to tackle is a budgetary shortfall of more than $53 billion, according to an updated projection by the California Department of Finance. The massive fiscal hole reflects declining tax revenues, record unemployment and expenditures the state has made to address the public health crisis caused by the coronavirus. Meanwhile, other long-standing challenges loom, from boosting affordable housing to fighting climate change and helping ailing school districts.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Assemblymember David Chiu, D-San Francisco\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Assemblymember James Gallagher, R-Yuba City\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Not ‘Business as Usual’ for Retailers Ready to Reopen\u003c/b>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Weeks of sheltering in place have taken a heavy toll on retailers. This week, Gov. Gavin Newsom began loosening restrictions for some of them as the state transitions from phase one to phase two of reopening this Friday. Clothing stores and sporting goods stores, for example, can reopen with social distancing in place for curbside pickup and delivery. Dine-in restaurants, shopping malls and offices must remain closed for now. Counties may still implement stricter rules if they feel their region is not yet prepared to reopen.\u003c/span> \u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Debra Knick, owner, Sonoma Outfitters\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tina Ferguson, owner, Face in a Book\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>When the Venue Is Your Home: A Film Festival Goes Virtual\u003c/b>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Next week, the Center for Asian American Media launches CAAMFest, a film festival that for nearly four decades has celebrated Asian American storytelling with screenings and events for Bay Area audiences.
