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.",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was originally published by POLITICO California Pro on 7/17/2019\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s marijuana legalization was supposed to provide economic justice to communities most affected by drug laws in the past, but Native American tribes that have suffered say the state is unfairly shutting them out of its nascent cannabis trade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tribes want the state to establish compacts, similar to gaming deals, that would allow them to sell cannabis grown on tribal lands to the broader California market. Under such arrangements, tribes would agree to regulations similar to those established under Proposition 64 and provide tax revenue to the state for products sold off-reservation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But tribal leaders say they’ve been ignored by Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration despite months of trying to get the state to engage on cannabis compacts. Their frustration spilled over last month at a state workshop in Los Angeles where the California Native American Cannabis Association gave an hour-long presentation criticizing the state that ended with Bureau of Cannabis Control Chief Lori Ajax visibly angry.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘When you have the governor making a statement about apologizing for all the grief or all the tragedy, our point is, OK, well, put your money where your mouth is.’\u003ccite>Dave Vialpando, executive director of C-NACA\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“Can’t we bypass those years of going at each other over these issues and just come to the good agreement where the state recognizes the tribe’s sovereignty for what they can do on the reservation and still have a productive, healthy market? Apparently not,” said tribal attorney Mark Levitan during the presentation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The stakes are high for some 35 tribes interested in starting cannabis businesses to get back to the negotiation table. Because Proposition 64, which voters approved in 2016, was silent on how the state would interact with tribes in the legal marketplace, they’ve had to watch from the sidelines as the multibillion-dollar cannabis market rapidly develops without them. Many of these tribes rank among the communities with the highest rates of unemployment and drug abuse in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As sovereign nations, tribes are able to regulate, grow and sell cannabis on reservation lands. However, to sell products off reservation, they currently have to sign a partial waiver of sovereign immunity that would give state agencies like the Bureau of Cannabis Control and California Department of Food and Agriculture complete regulatory control on tribal lands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, none of California’s tribes have agreed to that arrangement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s already so much that has been taken and making that compromise and giving [sovereignty] up is what is deeply problematic for people who are marginalized,” said Ariel Clark, a cannabis businesses attorney who is half Native American.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblyman Rob Bonta, D-Oakland, has carried legislation in each of the previous three years that would have allowed tribes to enter regulatory cannabis agreements negotiated by the governor and approved by the Legislature. The most recent bill, AB 924, gained the support of the cannabis industry after tribal leaders agreed to implement regulations and taxes mirroring the state’s.

Under such arrangements, tribes would agree to regulations similar to those established under Proposition 64 and provide tax revenue to the state for products sold off-reservation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But tribal leaders say they’ve been ignored by Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration despite months of trying to get the state to engage on cannabis compacts. Their frustration spilled over last month at a state workshop in Los Angeles where the California Native American Cannabis Association gave an hour-long presentation criticizing the state that ended with Bureau of Cannabis Control Chief Lori Ajax visibly angry.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘When you have the governor making a statement about apologizing for all the grief or all the tragedy, our point is, OK, well, put your money where your mouth is.’\u003ccite>Dave Vialpando, executive director of C-NACA\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“Can’t we bypass those years of going at each other over these issues and just come to the good agreement where the state recognizes the tribe’s sovereignty for what they can do on the reservation and still have a productive, healthy market? Apparently not,” said tribal attorney Mark Levitan during the presentation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The stakes are high for some 35 tribes interested in starting cannabis businesses to get back to the negotiation table. Because Proposition 64, which voters approved in 2016, was silent on how the state would interact with tribes in the legal marketplace, they’ve had to watch from the sidelines as the multibillion-dollar cannabis market rapidly develops without them. Many of these tribes rank among the communities with the highest rates of unemployment and drug abuse in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As sovereign nations, tribes are able to regulate, grow and sell cannabis on reservation lands. However, to sell products off reservation, they currently have to sign a partial waiver of sovereign immunity that would give state agencies like the Bureau of Cannabis Control and California Department of Food and Agriculture complete regulatory control on tribal lands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, none of California’s tribes have agreed to that arrangement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s already so much that has been taken and making that compromise and giving [sovereignty] up is what is deeply problematic for people who are marginalized,” said Ariel Clark, a cannabis businesses attorney who is half Native American.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblyman Rob Bonta, D-Oakland, has carried legislation in each of the previous three years that would have allowed tribes to enter regulatory cannabis agreements negotiated by the governor and approved by the Legislature. The most recent bill, AB 924, gained the support of the cannabis industry after tribal leaders agreed to implement regulations and taxes mirroring the state’s. But it subsequently fell apart after Gov. Jerry Brown’s administration stood firm that tribes waive their sovereignty to allow for state oversight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The barriers were significant enough that Bonta opted against pursuing another bill this year, according to his office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Native American Cannabis Association, or C-NACA, thought it would have better luck going directly to Newsom because he championed Prop 64, and has tried to improve the state’s relationship with tribes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, has already said he would not take it up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A handful of cities, including Berkeley, San Francisco, Mountain View and San Jose, have already reached or eclipsed the state’s $15 target. In most of these cities, the wage is scheduled to increase annually based on the regional \u003ca href=\"https://www.bls.gov/regions/west/news-release/consumerpriceindex_sanfrancisco.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Consumer Price Index (CPI)\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The map below shows minimum wage laws in every Bay Area city. Nineteen of them require wages above California’s minimum. The rest are still following the state’s wage schedule. \u003cbr>(\u003cem>If interactive map functionality is not working properly in the Chrome browser, please try viewing in Firefox or Safari.\u003c/em>)\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv style=\"width: 100%\">\n\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1000\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https://mgreen.carto.com/builder/f6b5ed92-5432-44fe-8611-856f452a775f/embed\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>The small East Bay city of Emeryville now has the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11760239/emeryville-now-has-the-highest-minimum-wage-in-the-nation-for-now-at-least\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">highest hourly wage in the nation\u003c/a>: $16.30 for all employers regardless of size. That increase, however, has been fiercely contested by many of the city’s small restaurant owners (those with 55 or fewer employees), who had already been paying a minimum wage of $15, and argue that the additional $1.30 an hour is financially unsustainable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Emeryville’s City Council, which had previously attempted to postpone the increase for those small businesses, could now move to put the issue on the ballot for the city’s voters to decide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents of minimum wage increases (and there are many) argue that they fly in the face of a free market economy, forcing small businesses to pay employees more than they can reasonably afford — a move, they say, that prompts layoffs, higher prices and closures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proponents, though, counter that a guaranteed living wage is a necessary safeguard for the lowest-wage workers, particularly in the increasingly unaffordable Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

An education gap persists, despite rising high school graduation rates and college enrollment, according to experts. Filial duty and other family obligations can eat into finances. As for those who lack legal immigration status, opportunities have become increasingly limited. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And here, in California, the biggest challenge these days is the cost of housing. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Traditionally, saving up and buying property has been one of the main ways that Latino families have built wealth, said Jody Agius Vallejo, a University of Southern California sociologist. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s harder to do these days. While the median household income for Latinos in the U.S. is now over $50,000 a year, it doesn’t get you much in California, she said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='income-inequality' label='The cost of living in California']\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“The high cost of housing in California is something that really threatens economic stability,” Vallejo said. “It’s not just the fact that home ownership costs are high. Even having to pay high rents can prevent people from saving to buy a home.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">reported last year \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">that Latinos in California have a lower rate of home ownership than in other states where Latinos represent more than 30 percent of the population. This includes states like Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, where Latino median household income is lower than it is in California. Housing affordability is a major factor. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waiting her turn for groceries at the church, Perez said she and her husband wish they could buy a home, “so that my children have somewhere to live, so they won’t struggle the way we did,” she said. But it seems out of reach. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perez said her mom, a first-generation immigrant from Mexico, owns her home, but she’s struggled to make the payments since Perez’s father died about six years ago, so she can’t offer much help. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right now, Perez said, it’s impossible for them to save any money. Her job doesn’t pay over the summer, and her husband’s hours aren’t steady. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The hours are not the same as they used to be,” Perez said of her husband’s job. “He will work maybe five days out of the week, sometimes four days out of the week.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11760868\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11760868\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38056__DSF3064-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38056__DSF3064-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38056__DSF3064-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38056__DSF3064-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38056__DSF3064-qut-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38056__DSF3064-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Elvira Rodriguez, a volunteer at the food bank, unpacks a box full of orange juice.

A 2017 report from Pew Charitable Trusts found that Latinos and people with a high school diploma or less are the most likely to face income losses from unsteady earnings. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lack of savings and emergency funds also makes it difficult for families to establish good credit, Alvarez said. Adding to this challenge is the fact that while banking rates for Latinos are gradually improving, according to federal data, many remain unbanked or under-banked. \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to the federal FDIC\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, 14 percent of Latinos in 2017 did not use banking services. This is especially true among foreign-born, first-generation immigrants.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the second generation, extended-family obligations can be a drag on finances, such as when a parent or other family member needs money for unexpected medical costs or an emergency expense, Alvarez said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And that makes it more difficult for you to actually meet your own bills,” Alvarez said. “So the next thing you know, you’re late on your credit card bill, or your car loan.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11760880\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11760880 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38054__DSF2931-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38054__DSF2931-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38054__DSF2931-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38054__DSF2931-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38054__DSF2931-qut-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38054__DSF2931-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A cart loaded with fresh vegetables, eggs, and milk at the Downey Food Bank.

But recent policies have made it more difficult for people to adjust their immigration status. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the church in Downey, food bank volunteer Catherine Alvarez said she’s sponsoring her husband for a green card. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s undocumented, so it’s really difficult for him to get a job and stay there for the long term,” said Alvarez, a Downey resident who was born in Colombia and is a naturalized U.S. citizen. “As soon as they don’t need him, they just let him go.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alvarez says her family of four has struggled to stay as renters in Downey, a city that’s long been a draw for middle-class Latinos, with its quiet residential streets and well-regarded schools. They wanted to keep their two teen boys in school there. But in recent years she’s had health problems that have required surgery and kept her from working, she said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her husband takes all the work he can, from construction to odd jobs: “If he needs to clean a toilet, he’ll do it,” Alvarez said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='large' align='right' citation='Janette Perez, Downey mother of two']‘Our rent is like $1,375, and our car payment is almost $500, so we can’t afford anything right now.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But at times it hasn’t been enough. About three years ago, when the family was hit with medical bills, they lost the apartment they were living in. They had to stay with friends and sometimes even in their car until they could raise enough to move into a new place, Alvarez said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’s hopeful that if her husband gets legal status, it could change their fortunes. But she worries: What if he’s denied? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I get sad because I don’t know,” Alvarez said. “I don’t know what’s going to happen.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the pathways to middle-class status becoming rockier, will future generations of California’s Latino families have a harder time cracking the ceiling?

Until now, those scheduled increases had been steeper for businesses with more than 55 employees.

A convertible Mercedes sits in the driveway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s the couple’s second horse property. Before this they lived in a five-bedroom home with stables in La Mirada.

One neighbor saw Juan working on his new home and thought he was part of the construction crew, asking him where the owner was. Juan simply took off his hat and said “Hi, I’m Juan.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s just an assumption that people will make against us, you know,” Helen said, “that we can’t have anything.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they do, and they worked for it — as did their parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11759983\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38020_RIVERA-FAMILY25-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11759983\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38020_RIVERA-FAMILY25-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38020_RIVERA-FAMILY25-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38020_RIVERA-FAMILY25-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38020_RIVERA-FAMILY25-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38020_RIVERA-FAMILY25-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38020_RIVERA-FAMILY25-qut-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Helen Rivera showing a photo of her with her children in the 1990s.

She grew up Mexican American, the daughter of U.S. citizens, a short distance east of downtown Los Angeles in East L.A. Her father had a union job at a company that made garbage disposals. Things were stable until she was around seven, when her mother became disabled in a devastating car accident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bills piled up. Then, her dad’s union went on strike.

And then I would come back and get ready for school.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In time, the family got back on its feet. Helen’s dad began earning better pay and, over time, her parents bought a house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They knew being homeowners that you gain a certain level of respect being a homeowner,” Helen said. “And that was something my dad explained to me at a young age.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While they absorbed these lessons from their parents, both of the Riveras struggled financially as younger adults. Both had children of their own before they met. Helen at one point worked three jobs, including waiting tables.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Monica Rivera']‘I believe that the American dream is to come to a place where you open up new opportunities not just for yourself, but for your family.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they took what opportunities they could. Not long after they married in the mid-1980s, the welding-repair shop where Juan worked went up for sale. With his savings and a little help from relatives, Juan bought it. At first, just paying the bills was a stretch. But as the shop began turning a profit, the couple invested it in real estate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I read all kinds of books,” Juan said, “On doing foundation, everything to build a house. I also read principles of real estate, all this stuff to do real estate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They started with some apartments. They did a little flipping. As property values rose, they held off. Then, the housing bubble burst. Juan, who obtained a real estate license in 2007, started going to property auctions. Monica was a teenager then, and she would go along.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had just gotten my permit to start driving,” Monica said. “So he was basically teaching me how to drive, and we started going to auctions. And we’d literally be in the front of the line, with the bidding paddle and the auctioneer would be auctioning off the property, and he’d let me hold the paddle. And I’d get excited about that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The properties they bought, sold and refinanced helped put Monica through college.
