"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. 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.",

The deal would reopen the federal government for three weeks, giving congressional lawmakers time to negotiate a plan for border security. Pressure had been growing on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Trump, as delays and security concerns mounted at the nation’s airports over growing numbers of TSA workers and air traffic controllers calling in sick. On Thursday, competing bills to end the shutdown died on the Senate floor, while House Democrats were prepared to offer billions of dollars more to boost border security through the use of drones and hiring more personnel at ports of entry. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Aimee Allison, Founder, She the People\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Carla Marinucci, Senior Writer, Politico\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sean Walsh, GOP Consultant, Wilson Walsh Consulting\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Criminal Justice Reforms\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Last year, Jerry Brown signed legislation that would have ended cash bail for criminal defendants. The practice was widely viewed as being discriminatory, keeping low-income people behind bars awaiting trial. But the law will now be put on hold pending the outcome of a measure challenging it, which has qualified for the 2020 ballot. This week, Gov. Gavin Newsom unveiled a plan to shift control of the state’s youth prisons in an effort to focus on rehabilitation instead of incarceration for juvenile offenders. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Marisa Lagos, KQED California Politics and Government Reporter\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Daniel Macallair, Executive Director, Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Cannabis Update\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">California recently released its final set of rules for cannabis businesses.

And while there were $2.5 billion in legal sales of cannabis last year in California, that’s a decrease from 2017, when only medical marijuana sales were allowed. The black market continues to be a problem, along with other challenges for the industry, such as consistency among labs that are required to test the safety and purity of pot products. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">David Downs, California Cannabis Bureau Chief, Leafly.com \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n",

The deal would reopen the federal government for three weeks, giving congressional lawmakers time to negotiate a plan for border security. Pressure had been growing on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Trump, as delays and security concerns mounted at the nation’s airports over growing numbers of TSA workers and air traffic controllers calling in sick. On Thursday, competing bills to end the shutdown died on the Senate floor, while House Democrats were prepared to offer billions of dollars more to boost border security through the use of drones and hiring more personnel at ports of entry. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Aimee Allison, Founder, She the People\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Carla Marinucci, Senior Writer, Politico\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sean Walsh, GOP Consultant, Wilson Walsh Consulting\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Criminal Justice Reforms\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Last year, Jerry Brown signed legislation that would have ended cash bail for criminal defendants. The practice was widely viewed as being discriminatory, keeping low-income people behind bars awaiting trial. But the law will now be put on hold pending the outcome of a measure challenging it, which has qualified for the 2020 ballot. This week, Gov. Gavin Newsom unveiled a plan to shift control of the state’s youth prisons in an effort to focus on rehabilitation instead of incarceration for juvenile offenders. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Marisa Lagos, KQED California Politics and Government Reporter\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Daniel Macallair, Executive Director, Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Cannabis Update\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">California recently released its final set of rules for cannabis businesses. One of those rules now allows marijuana deliveries to anyone 21 or older anywhere in the state, including cities and counties that have banned sales of the drug. And while there were $2.5 billion in legal sales of cannabis last year in California, that’s a decrease from 2017, when only medical marijuana sales were allowed. The black market continues to be a problem, along with other challenges for the industry, such as consistency among labs that are required to test the safety and purity of pot products. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Uber, the largest and most influential on-demand gig company in the country, has always claimed that its drivers are contractors, not employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco-based company insists it’s not a taxi business but rather a tech firm that creates a platform, or online marketplace, to connect riders to independent drivers. In other words, Uber contends, its employees are the people who build its technology, not the ones driving the cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber's argument has become the standard line of reasoning for the countless on-demand gig companies that have followed in its wake: Employees build the marketplace, contractors do the gigs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How workers are classified determines the type of protections and benefits they're eligible to receive. Employees, unlike contractors who are considered self-employed, generally qualify for minimum wage guarantees, workers' compensation, unemployment insurance and other benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Uber has been incredibly, incredibly smart about proactively and defensively ensuring that their workers are not legally classified as employees,” said Veena Dubal, a law professor at UC Hastings, who has researched Uber and Lyft since their inception.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’ve gone to state legislatures,\" she added. \"They’ve gone through city councils.

It now has a 2 percent stake and a lot to lose if PG&E enters bankruptcy protection. Now, they’re making a very public case in a letter to PG&E’s board that filing for bankruptcy doesn’t make sense.\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Guest: Omar Vaishnavi, Partner at BlueMountain Capital Management\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>L.A.

The office of Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti says the latest bargaining session lasted 21 hours and ended early this morning. The mayor's office says negotiators plan to reconvene at 9:15 a.m. For picketing teachers the strike means no paycheck, and for many parents, it means a patchwork of childcare.\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Reporter: Caleigh Wells\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A Renewed Push for Medication Abortions at UC and CSU Campuses\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>State lawmakers will soon begin debate on whether health clinics at UC and CSU campuses should provide medication abortions.
