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.",

Rather, the mayor says the city is requiring that 25 percent of the housing built around the campus be rent-restricted and affordable. Like most of the Bay Area, the cost of living in San Jose has skyrocketed, largely driven by the tech boom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google, which is headquartered nearby Mountain View, is projected to bring \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/11/28/google-village-could-bring-24000-jobs-to-downtown-san-jose-study/\">tens of thousands of jobs\u003c/a> to San Jose.

Google is just on the beneficial side of things going their way, without having to give anything back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many activists in the various cities where tech is expanding, Buchanan has questions about the details: How exactly is housing going to be kept affordable?

A few years ago, it was so bad that his family — like so many others — had to leave San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The prices are so outrageous, we’ve got to move to the Central Valley to actually have affordable homes,” he explains. “So with Google coming here, it might be a bad idea.

You don't assume the company they work for would then decide to pay them less or more based on what you tip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this is exactly what was happening at the food delivery company Instacart, and what still seems to be happening at DoorDash and Amazon Flex.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, DoorDash defended its policy as transparent and supported by \"Dashers\" — what it calls its food delivery workers. Amazon Flex did not respond to requests for comments about how they're handling tips and compensation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We know how Instacart was handling tips because, under pressure from workers and media reports, the company publicly reversed its policies in early February. This was after Instacart used the complexity of its payment structure to obfuscate how it was using tips to offset worker compensation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the outside, it’s difficult to know how gig platforms like Instacart, DoorDash or Lyft calculate what they pay their workers or how they price their services. In both cases, algorithms crunch real-time data to spit out numbers — and the inner-workings of those algorithms can change at any moment. Pricing and pay is often dynamic, based on conditions like the supply and demand of the gig worker. Both customers and workers have routinely complained about a lack of clarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s how Instacart’s payment structure works: When a customer orders groceries, the company computes a payment — what it calls a “batch” — for the worker based on a bunch of factors, like how many items are in the order and how far the worker has to travel to deliver them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11726399\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Ghoulia20bon20-20Julia20something.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-large wp-image-11726399\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Ghoulia20bon20-20Julia20something-1020x1814.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"1138\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Ghoulia20bon20-20Julia20something-1020x1814.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Ghoulia20bon20-20Julia20something-160x285.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Ghoulia20bon20-20Julia20something-800x1423.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Ghoulia20bon20-20Julia20something-675x1200.jpg 675w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Ghoulia20bon20-20Julia20something.jpg 1133w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An Instacart payment to one of its workers. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Working Washington)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Customers also enter the tip amount ahead of time, with the idea that if a customer is really dying for kumquats and kombucha, then a high tip can encourage Instacart workers to take and complete the order speedily. The batch amount and the tip are all paid through the customer’s phone to Instacart, which then pays out the total to the worker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The controversy over tips started ramping up for Instacart last October, when it restructured how it paid workers. There was instant backlash, with workers saying they were earning far less than they did before, which Instacart denied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to worker complaints, the company set a minimum payment floor of $10 per delivery. That minimum included both the customer tip and the “batch” payment calculated by Instacart. And this is where the slipperiness slips in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instacart used customer tips to ensure it was meeting its minimum payment floor. If customers tipped low and the worker did not make the $10 minimum per order, then Instacart would chip in extra money to make sure they did. If customers tipped high, then Instacart didn’t kick in additional funds — effectively lowering the actual payment for the job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Workers said it boiled down to this: When they got low tips, they got higher compensation from Instacart; and when they got high tips, they got lower compensation from the company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Through an advocacy group called Working Washington, Instacart workers posted stories and screenshots online detailing their grievances. \u003ca href=\"http://www.workingwa.org/instacart-eighty-cents/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">In one case\u003c/a>, a worker's actual payment from Instacart for an hour-long delivery was just 80 cents — with a $10 tip from the customer. Instacart said that case was an anomaly. On Jan. 14, over 1,500 workers \u003ca href=\"http://www.workingwa.org/blog/2019/1/14/instacarts-transparent-new-pay-structure-underpayment-tip-theft-and-black-box-algorithms\">signed an open letter\u003c/a> objecting to how the company was compensating them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11726395\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1270px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/tomfullsmaller.png\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11726395\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/tomfullsmaller.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1270\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/tomfullsmaller.png 1270w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/tomfullsmaller-160x113.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/tomfullsmaller-800x567.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/tomfullsmaller-1020x723.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/tomfullsmaller-1200x850.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1270px) 100vw, 1270px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An example posted with Working Washington, including their highlighting, of when Instacart used a tip to offset worker compensation. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Working Washington)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In an email to KQED in early February, a spokesperson from Instacart said, “Our shoppers also always receive 100% of the tips given to them by our customers.” This is true. But what is also true is those customer tips were being used so the company had to pay less in compensation to meet its promised minimum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DoorDash implemented a similar policy back in 2017. In an email to KQED, a DoorDash spokesperson wrote:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Based on Dasher input, it was designed to ensure that Dashers are more fairly compensated for every delivery. DoorDash always pays Dashers a fixed base pay, plus 100% of customer tips. We will continue to protect Dashers with boost pay in cases where earnings would otherwise be insufficient to cover the effort. Since implementing this pay model in 2017, Dasher retention and overall satisfaction have increased significantly, while average delivery times have decreased.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What these companies are doing is essentially what’s called a tip credit, which is legal in most states. It means an employer can pay tipped workers less than minimum wage, as long as the tips bring the workers over the minimum wage threshold. If the tips don’t, then the employer must chip in extra in wages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/california-laws-tipped-employees.html\">Tip credits are illegal in California.\u003c/a> Employees must be paid minimum wage, and they keep any tips on top of that wage. Employers are not supposed to deduct anything from tips or use them to adjust compensation. In restaurants, non-tipped workers and management are not even supposed to touch the tips — a convention put in place to stop tip theft.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">\u003cstrong>'Tips should always be separate\u003c/strong> from Instacart’s contribution to shopper compensation.'\u003ccite>Apoorva Mehta,\u003cbr>\nInstacart’s CEO\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>However, that doesn't make what Instacart was doing or what DoorDash, and reportedly Amazon Flex, continue to do illegal. That’s because of how the company classifies its workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instacart, DoorDash and Amazon Flex all follow the typical gig model used by Lyft, Uber and others. They classify workers as independent contractors, not as employees. This means they are not protected by minimum wage laws and therefore California's law against tip credits. Instacart and other gig companies can change the amount of tips and compensation paid to these workers as they see fit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the case of Instacart, the blowback from workers and customers was enough that the company decided to revamp its policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/shopper-news/state-of-pay-doing-right-by-our-shoppers-81de4b66580\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">In an open letter\u003c/a>, Instacart’s CEO, Apoorva Mehta, wrote, “Tips should always be separate from Instacart’s contribution to shopper compensation.” Mehta also said, “All batches will have a higher guaranteed compensation floor for shoppers, paid for by Instacart,” and noted that Instacart would retroactively compensate shoppers for payments when tips had been included to meet minimums.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Working Washington has celebrated getting Instacart to change its policies and is trying to use this as a springboard for more organizing among gig workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But DoorDash is still using the same tip model, as is Amazon Flex reportedly, which affects thousands of gig workers.

You don't assume the company they work for would then decide to pay them less or more based on what you tip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this is exactly what was happening at the food delivery company Instacart, and what still seems to be happening at DoorDash and Amazon Flex.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, DoorDash defended its policy as transparent and supported by \"Dashers\" — what it calls its food delivery workers. Amazon Flex did not respond to requests for comments about how they're handling tips and compensation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We know how Instacart was handling tips because, under pressure from workers and media reports, the company publicly reversed its policies in early February. This was after Instacart used the complexity of its payment structure to obfuscate how it was using tips to offset worker compensation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the outside, it’s difficult to know how gig platforms like Instacart, DoorDash or Lyft calculate what they pay their workers or how they price their services. In both cases, algorithms crunch real-time data to spit out numbers — and the inner-workings of those algorithms can change at any moment. Pricing and pay is often dynamic, based on conditions like the supply and demand of the gig worker. Both customers and workers have routinely complained about a lack of clarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The batch amount and the tip are all paid through the customer’s phone to Instacart, which then pays out the total to the worker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The controversy over tips started ramping up for Instacart last October, when it restructured how it paid workers. There was instant backlash, with workers saying they were earning far less than they did before, which Instacart denied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to worker complaints, the company set a minimum payment floor of $10 per delivery. That minimum included both the customer tip and the “batch” payment calculated by Instacart. And this is where the slipperiness slips in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instacart used customer tips to ensure it was meeting its minimum payment floor. If customers tipped low and the worker did not make the $10 minimum per order, then Instacart would chip in extra money to make sure they did. If customers tipped high, then Instacart didn’t kick in additional funds — effectively lowering the actual payment for the job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Workers said it boiled down to this: When they got low tips, they got higher compensation from Instacart; and when they got high tips, they got lower compensation from the company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Through an advocacy group called Working Washington, Instacart workers posted stories and screenshots online detailing their grievances. \u003ca href=\"http://www.workingwa.org/instacart-eighty-cents/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">In one case\u003c/a>, a worker's actual payment from Instacart for an hour-long delivery was just 80 cents — with a $10 tip from the customer. Instacart said that case was an anomaly. On Jan. 14, over 1,500 workers \u003ca href=\"http://www.workingwa.org/blog/2019/1/14/instacarts-transparent-new-pay-structure-underpayment-tip-theft-and-black-box-algorithms\">signed an open letter\u003c/a> objecting to how the company was compensating them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11726395\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1270px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/tomfullsmaller.png\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11726395\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/tomfullsmaller.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1270\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/tomfullsmaller.png 1270w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/tomfullsmaller-160x113.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/tomfullsmaller-800x567.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/tomfullsmaller-1020x723.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/tomfullsmaller-1200x850.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1270px) 100vw, 1270px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An example posted with Working Washington, including their highlighting, of when Instacart used a tip to offset worker compensation. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Working Washington)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In an email to KQED in early February, a spokesperson from Instacart said, “Our shoppers also always receive 100% of the tips given to them by our customers.” This is true. But what is also true is those customer tips were being used so the company had to pay less in compensation to meet its promised minimum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DoorDash implemented a similar policy back in 2017. In an email to KQED, a DoorDash spokesperson wrote:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Based on Dasher input, it was designed to ensure that Dashers are more fairly compensated for every delivery. DoorDash always pays Dashers a fixed base pay, plus 100% of customer tips. We will continue to protect Dashers with boost pay in cases where earnings would otherwise be insufficient to cover the effort. Since implementing this pay model in 2017, Dasher retention and overall satisfaction have increased significantly, while average delivery times have decreased.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What these companies are doing is essentially what’s called a tip credit, which is legal in most states. It means an employer can pay tipped workers less than minimum wage, as long as the tips bring the workers over the minimum wage threshold. If the tips don’t, then the employer must chip in extra in wages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/california-laws-tipped-employees.html\">Tip credits are illegal in California.\u003c/a> Employees must be paid minimum wage, and they keep any tips on top of that wage. Employers are not supposed to deduct anything from tips or use them to adjust compensation. In restaurants, non-tipped workers and management are not even supposed to touch the tips — a convention put in place to stop tip theft.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">\u003cstrong>'Tips should always be separate\u003c/strong> from Instacart’s contribution to shopper compensation.'\u003ccite>Apoorva Mehta,\u003cbr>\nInstacart’s CEO\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>However, that doesn't make what Instacart was doing or what DoorDash, and reportedly Amazon Flex, continue to do illegal. That’s because of how the company classifies its workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instacart, DoorDash and Amazon Flex all follow the typical gig model used by Lyft, Uber and others. They classify workers as independent contractors, not as employees. This means they are not protected by minimum wage laws and therefore California's law against tip credits. Instacart and other gig companies can change the amount of tips and compensation paid to these workers as they see fit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the case of Instacart, the blowback from workers and customers was enough that the company decided to revamp its policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/shopper-news/state-of-pay-doing-right-by-our-shoppers-81de4b66580\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">In an open letter\u003c/a>, Instacart’s CEO, Apoorva Mehta, wrote, “Tips should always be separate from Instacart’s contribution to shopper compensation.” Mehta also said, “All batches will have a higher guaranteed compensation floor for shoppers, paid for by Instacart,” and noted that Instacart would retroactively compensate shoppers for payments when tips had been included to meet minimums.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Working Washington has celebrated getting Instacart to change its policies and is trying to use this as a springboard for more organizing among gig workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It also has forced many businesses to operate only in cash — sometimes vast amounts — making them ripe targets for crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Banking, government and industry representatives at the House hearing urged lawmakers to pass a proposal that would allow pot businesses to access loans, lines of credit and other banking services, while sheltering financial institutions from prosecution for handling pot money.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11714984/a-california-backed-marijuana-bank-state-study-says-unlikely\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A California-backed Marijuana Bank?

She cited \u003ca href=\"https://bdsanalytics.com/new-report-legal-marijuana-markets-projected-to-reach-23-4-billion-employ-nearly-a-half-million-americans-by-2022-effective-end-of-federal-prohibition-is-in-sight/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">another report\u003c/a> that projects consumer spending on legal cannabis in the U.S. will reach $23 billion by 2022, including more than $5 billion in California alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s critical we accommodate the magnitude of this economic uptick with access to banking for this new state-regulated industry,” Ma told lawmakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also noted other ancillary impacts of not having banking access for cannabis businesses, including people not reporting domestic violence for fear of police coming into their homes or businesses. She said people who don’t report their income from cannabis businesses may not be liable for child support or be eligible for full Social Security benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So there’s a lot of social impacts that are also affecting the communities by not having access to banking,” Ma said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gregory S. Deckard, who spoke on behalf of the Independent Community Bankers of America, said the cloud of legal uncertainty was inhibiting access to banks while creating safety hazards for businesses. The proposal, he said, “would offer the needed clarity” for more financial institutions to welcome the marijuana industry as customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But others had concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer of Missouri said the proposal would create confusion while marijuana remains illegal at the federal level. He questioned how banks would identify criminal operators and pointed to how Congress handled hemp, the low-THC cousin of the cannabis plant, which was removed from the list of federally controlled substances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the banking legislation, “we are putting the cart before the horse,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legalization advocates have reason to celebrate that the hearing simply took place, when the proposal — and other similar versions — have languished in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Lawmakers are not being asked to weigh in on whether marijuana should be legal or not. They are simply looking at whether banking services should be available to these businesses in states where it is already legal,” said Mason Tvert of the Marijuana Policy Project, an advocacy group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The number of banks and credit unions willing to handle pot money is growing, but they still represent only a tiny fraction of the industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hearing comes days after Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden proposed legislation that would give states a free hand to allow legal cannabis markets without the threat of federal criminal intervention. The proposal would take marijuana off the federal controlled substances list and remove federal criminal penalties for individuals and businesses acting in compliance with state marijuana laws. An identical proposal is pending in the House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Reporting from Nina Thorsen of KQED and Michael R.

It also has forced many businesses to operate only in cash — sometimes vast amounts — making them ripe targets for crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Banking, government and industry representatives at the House hearing urged lawmakers to pass a proposal that would allow pot businesses to access loans, lines of credit and other banking services, while sheltering financial institutions from prosecution for handling pot money.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11714984/a-california-backed-marijuana-bank-state-study-says-unlikely\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A California-backed Marijuana Bank?

She cited \u003ca href=\"https://bdsanalytics.com/new-report-legal-marijuana-markets-projected-to-reach-23-4-billion-employ-nearly-a-half-million-americans-by-2022-effective-end-of-federal-prohibition-is-in-sight/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">another report\u003c/a> that projects consumer spending on legal cannabis in the U.S. will reach $23 billion by 2022, including more than $5 billion in California alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s critical we accommodate the magnitude of this economic uptick with access to banking for this new state-regulated industry,” Ma told lawmakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also noted other ancillary impacts of not having banking access for cannabis businesses, including people not reporting domestic violence for fear of police coming into their homes or businesses. She said people who don’t report their income from cannabis businesses may not be liable for child support or be eligible for full Social Security benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So there’s a lot of social impacts that are also affecting the communities by not having access to banking,” Ma said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gregory S. Deckard, who spoke on behalf of the Independent Community Bankers of America, said the cloud of legal uncertainty was inhibiting access to banks while creating safety hazards for businesses. The proposal, he said, “would offer the needed clarity” for more financial institutions to welcome the marijuana industry as customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But others had concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer of Missouri said the proposal would create confusion while marijuana remains illegal at the federal level. He questioned how banks would identify criminal operators and pointed to how Congress handled hemp, the low-THC cousin of the cannabis plant, which was removed from the list of federally controlled substances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the banking legislation, “we are putting the cart before the horse,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legalization advocates have reason to celebrate that the hearing simply took place, when the proposal — and other similar versions — have languished in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Lawmakers are not being asked to weigh in on whether marijuana should be legal or not. They are simply looking at whether banking services should be available to these businesses in states where it is already legal,” said Mason Tvert of the Marijuana Policy Project, an advocacy group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The number of banks and credit unions willing to handle pot money is growing, but they still represent only a tiny fraction of the industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hearing comes days after Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden proposed legislation that would give states a free hand to allow legal cannabis markets without the threat of federal criminal intervention. The proposal would take marijuana off the federal controlled substances list and remove federal criminal penalties for individuals and businesses acting in compliance with state marijuana laws. An identical proposal is pending in the House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Reporting from Nina Thorsen of KQED and Michael R.

"content": "\u003cp>Just a month after his inauguration, Gov. Gavin Newsom used his \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/newsom-state-of-the-state-annotated/\">State of the State speech\u003c/a> Tuesday to make his strongest showing yet that Jerry Brown is no longer in charge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He proposed scaling back two of Brown’s legacy projects — a high-speed train and a pair of tunnels to move water north to south. He rescinded Brown’s deployment of California National Guard troops to the Mexican border. And he voiced support for education and housing policies that Brown generally stayed away from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s no shock that Newsom is carving his own path. California’s last several governors took office vowing to right the perceived wrongs of their predecessors. Brown himself, in his first term, was a change agent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they were Democrats replacing Republicans, or vice versa. Newsom is the first Democrat to follow a Democrat into the California governor’s office in more than a century — and friendship between the Brown and Newsom families \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/commentary/gavin-newsoms-keeping-it-all-in-the-family/\">goes back generations\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/blog/gavin-newsom-transition-jerry-brown/\">creates a challenge\u003c/a> other recent governors have not faced: Newsom must pay homage to the legacy of his predecessor while also establishing his own vision. It’s not an easy needle to thread — as evidenced by Newsom’s response when asked if he is breaking away from the course Brown set in his two terms in office:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re building on a lot of the work that’s been done,” he said in a brief interview after the speech. “We’re just being more sober about it, more deliberative about it, more focused, more transparent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this early stage in his governorship, here are five key ways Newsom has sought to differentiate himself:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Border Patrol\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Early last year, President Trump asked border-state governors to beef up their National Guard troops along the Mexican border. Brown responded by saying California troops wouldn’t enforce immigration laws or “build a new wall.” \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/trump_california/gavin-newsom-says-hes-refuse-trump-on-sending-national-guard-to-the-border/\">But he agreed\u003c/a> to add 400 troops, saying they would focus on combating transnational crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/newsletters/national-guard-newsom-state-of-state-kamala-harris-caltrans-homeless/\">rolled back Brown’s order\u003c/a> this week, reassigning most of the troops from the border to areas threatened by wildfire and illegal marijuana grows. Those remaining at the border “will focus on stopping criminals smuggling drugs and guns through existing border checkpoints,” Newsom said in his speech. “This is our answer to the White House: No more division, no more xenophobia and no more nativism.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>High-speed rail\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Since his first stint as governor in the 1970s, Brown has advocated for a new high-speed train to connect Northern and Southern California. He took steps more recently to support the project by negotiating funding for it from California’s signature climate change program. “I make no bones about it,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.scpr.org/news/2018/01/25/80125/gov-brown-to-lay-out-vision-in-last-state-of-state/\">Brown said last year\u003c/a>. “I like trains, and I like high-speed trains even better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom said Tuesday that he has “nothing but respect for Governor Brown’s and Governor Schwarzenegger’s ambitious vision.” But he derided the current plan for a train from San Francisco to Los Angeles, saying it “would cost too much and take too long.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, Newsom embraced a more limited rail line, from Merced to Bakersfield. He also announced a new chairman for the rail authority, Lenny Mendonca, and a plan to post rail spending publicly online, a step meant to hold the administration accountable for cost overruns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans, long opposed to the new train, welcomed Newsom’s tack. State Sen. Shannon Grove of Bakersfield, who will soon take over as the Senate Republican leader, thanked Newsom for scaling back the project and making spending on it more transparent. “That was very responsible,” she said. “I’m pleasantly surprised.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Water\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Newsom also wants to scale back Brown’s controversial plan to carve two massive tunnels through the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to move water to Southern California. Instead, as he said during the campaign, and reiterated in his speech, he \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-sac-skelton-john-cox-gavin-newsom-california-governor-debate-20181011-story.html\">wants to build one tunnel.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea was quickly embraced by Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, who said, “I’ve been skeptical of the two-tunnel approach for a while. Rethinking it and retooling it makes a lot of sense.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To help carry out Newsom’s vision, the governor appointed \u003ca href=\"https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/about_us/board_members/\">Joaquin Esquivel\u003c/a> as the new chair of the state water board, replacing Brown’s pick, Felicia Marcus.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Education\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Newsom and Brown have very different views when it comes to keeping track of how students are performing in California’s public schools. Brown repeatedly rejected the idea of developing a database to track student performance over time, saying he disagreed with a focus on test scores and feared the data could be abused to support prejudice. Newsom\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/can-california-afford-newsom-education-plan/\"> is embracing\u003c/a> a long-term student database as a way to measure which programs advance student learning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need clear and achievable standards of transparency, more information sharing, and accountability for all public schools,” he said in his speech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom used the speech to announce his pick to lead the state Board of Education, naming \u003ca href=\"https://learningpolicyinstitute.org/person/linda-darling-hammond\">Linda Darling-Hammond\u003c/a> to the post. A former Stanford professor, she is an expert in teacher training and has chaired the state’s Commission on Teacher Credentialing for the last eight years.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Housing & homelessness\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Tackling California’s extraordinarily high cost of housing — and the related epidemic of homelessness — was never a top priority for Brown. Even as he left office, he said he didn’t think there was \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/11/675647260/transcript-nprs-full-interview-with-california-gov-jerry-brown\">much the state could do\u003c/a> to make homes more affordable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom wants to change that by holding cities accountable for building affordable housing. He already \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/blog/will-dems-neutralize-huntington-beach-housing-suit/\">sued the city of Huntington Beach\u003c/a> for not building enough, and said in his speech that he wants to meet with 47 other cities that aren’t meeting their housing requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom also announced that he is establishing a new commission on homelessness, to be led by Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CALmatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",
