"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.",

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.",

Muratsuchi’s bill essentially sets a new target to raise school funding by $35 billion more per year, a 60 percent increase, though it doesn’t include a time frame for the goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re hearing all kinds of new proposals for new programs,” Muratsuchi said. “But I want to make sure that we continue to make our top priority our ongoing (K-12) commitments.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muratsuchi introduced similar legislation last session that \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billVotesClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB2808\">had near unanimous support\u003c/a> in the Assembly and Senate before it stalled at the end of session. Muratsuchi believes Brown wanted to leave large-scale school spending commitments to the next governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Data systems\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why it matters: \u003c/strong>Education leaders and researchers say tracking students through data would give them a more complete picture of whether reforms and efforts to improve student achievement are working as intended. Supporters of a “longitudinal” database, including Newsom, point out that California is among a handful of states that don’t already have such an infrastructure in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Backstory:\u003c/strong> Officials, advocates and researchers have long called for the state to create a system of databases that accurately and reliably tracks students’ outcomes from preschool all the way through college. So far it hasn’t happened. But the concept is aligned with Newsom’s vision of an educational system that tracks Californians “from cradle to career.” While acknowledging that the need to upgrade technology often gets lost in discussions about improving education, he has called it \"profoundly important.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s on the table: \u003c/strong>State Senators Steve Glazer and Ben Allen have introduced \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB2\">Senate Bill 2\u003c/a>, which would create a statewide longitudinal student database by 2022. Glazer unsuccessfully proposed a similar measure last year; a Senate analysis found the concept needed more work.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Funding reality\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why it matters:\u003c/strong> Despite California’s hefty budget surplus, economists warn that another recession could be around the corner, and the state’s revenue picture is notoriously volatile. That led to traumatic budget cuts and teacher layoffs in the last downturn. But intense, pent-up demand for ambitious projects has also mounted in part due to Brown’s reluctance during his tenure to commit to ongoing spending on new programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Backstory:\u003c/strong> In his second stint as governor, Brown led the state out of a budget crisis and restored school funding to pre-recession levels. He repeatedly reminded legislators in speeches and veto letters to watch spending, warning that the state should be prepared for the next economic downturn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom has vowed to follow Brown’s lead, but also hopes to make his own mark. And with supermajorities in both chambers, Democrats will have unprecedented power in the Legislature this session, and could theoretically pass tax increases for education and other priorities without Republican support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s on the table:\u003c/strong> Education is already the biggest line item in the state’s budget, absorbing about 40 cents of every taxpayer dollar. Nonetheless, among education leaders and advocates, there is a broad support to raise school funding. Incoming state superintendent of public instruction Tony Thurmond, a former state Assemblyman, said he plans to push an eight-year proposal that would \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/tony-thurmond-wins-state-superintendent-of-schools-race/\">raise California’s per-pupil spending\u003c/a> from the bottom tier to near the top in state education spending rankings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocacy groups representing local school boards and administrators launched a campaign this summer calling for “full and fair” funding that would bring California into the Top 10 — a jump of 31 spots, adjusted for cost of living — by 2025.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allen, who chaired the Senate education committee this past session, said he favors preschool expansions that are “pedagogically sound and financially sustainable for the long term.” He expressed optimism about the state’s economy, though added that “it’d be a big mistake to assume that the current (budget) surplus is a long-term reality.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Unfortunately, the state of California has a history of establishing programs only to have to cut them back significantly in a time of downturn,” Allen said. “It doesn’t help any kids in the long term to (start) a program only to have to scale it back when the revenues start to drop.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Looming over all of this is the prospect of a voter initiative on property taxes that would also have a major impact on school finance. The so-called “split roll” proposal, which recently \u003ca href=\"https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article220077410.html\">qualified for the 2020 ballot\u003c/a>, would scale back Proposition 13, a decades-old law that grandfathered property tax rates for some Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If successful, the measure would bring in an estimated $6 billion partly earmarked for schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers could also take that issue up themselves, rather than leave the large and complex proposal up to voters to decide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wesley Smith, executive director for the Association of California School Administrators, said “school districts up and down the state are feeling the impact of a recession that’s not even here yet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we have to avoid with our new governor coming is that we don’t allow people to believe wrongly that public education finance is fixed. It’s not,” Smith said. “When you’re top 5 in the world in revenue generation, but you prioritize your kids in this country 41st out of 50, you haven’t fixed it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://calmatters.org\">\u003cem>CALmatters.org\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Reaching the original spending target, they say, was never intended to be the end point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s on the table: \u003c/strong>Assemblyman Al Muratsuchi, a Democrat from Torrance, introduced AB 39 on the first day of the new session. Muratsuchi’s bill essentially sets a new target to raise school funding by $35 billion more per year, a 60 percent increase, though it doesn’t include a time frame for the goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re hearing all kinds of new proposals for new programs,” Muratsuchi said. “But I want to make sure that we continue to make our top priority our ongoing (K-12) commitments.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muratsuchi introduced similar legislation last session that \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billVotesClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB2808\">had near unanimous support\u003c/a> in the Assembly and Senate before it stalled at the end of session. Muratsuchi believes Brown wanted to leave large-scale school spending commitments to the next governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Data systems\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why it matters: \u003c/strong>Education leaders and researchers say tracking students through data would give them a more complete picture of whether reforms and efforts to improve student achievement are working as intended. Supporters of a “longitudinal” database, including Newsom, point out that California is among a handful of states that don’t already have such an infrastructure in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Backstory:\u003c/strong> Officials, advocates and researchers have long called for the state to create a system of databases that accurately and reliably tracks students’ outcomes from preschool all the way through college. So far it hasn’t happened. But the concept is aligned with Newsom’s vision of an educational system that tracks Californians “from cradle to career.” While acknowledging that the need to upgrade technology often gets lost in discussions about improving education, he has called it \"profoundly important.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s on the table: \u003c/strong>State Senators Steve Glazer and Ben Allen have introduced \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB2\">Senate Bill 2\u003c/a>, which would create a statewide longitudinal student database by 2022. Glazer unsuccessfully proposed a similar measure last year; a Senate analysis found the concept needed more work.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Funding reality\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why it matters:\u003c/strong> Despite California’s hefty budget surplus, economists warn that another recession could be around the corner, and the state’s revenue picture is notoriously volatile. That led to traumatic budget cuts and teacher layoffs in the last downturn. But intense, pent-up demand for ambitious projects has also mounted in part due to Brown’s reluctance during his tenure to commit to ongoing spending on new programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Backstory:\u003c/strong> In his second stint as governor, Brown led the state out of a budget crisis and restored school funding to pre-recession levels. He repeatedly reminded legislators in speeches and veto letters to watch spending, warning that the state should be prepared for the next economic downturn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom has vowed to follow Brown’s lead, but also hopes to make his own mark. And with supermajorities in both chambers, Democrats will have unprecedented power in the Legislature this session, and could theoretically pass tax increases for education and other priorities without Republican support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s on the table:\u003c/strong> Education is already the biggest line item in the state’s budget, absorbing about 40 cents of every taxpayer dollar. Nonetheless, among education leaders and advocates, there is a broad support to raise school funding. Incoming state superintendent of public instruction Tony Thurmond, a former state Assemblyman, said he plans to push an eight-year proposal that would \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/tony-thurmond-wins-state-superintendent-of-schools-race/\">raise California’s per-pupil spending\u003c/a> from the bottom tier to near the top in state education spending rankings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocacy groups representing local school boards and administrators launched a campaign this summer calling for “full and fair” funding that would bring California into the Top 10 — a jump of 31 spots, adjusted for cost of living — by 2025.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allen, who chaired the Senate education committee this past session, said he favors preschool expansions that are “pedagogically sound and financially sustainable for the long term.” He expressed optimism about the state’s economy, though added that “it’d be a big mistake to assume that the current (budget) surplus is a long-term reality.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Unfortunately, the state of California has a history of establishing programs only to have to cut them back significantly in a time of downturn,” Allen said. “It doesn’t help any kids in the long term to (start) a program only to have to scale it back when the revenues start to drop.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Looming over all of this is the prospect of a voter initiative on property taxes that would also have a major impact on school finance. The so-called “split roll” proposal, which recently \u003ca href=\"https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article220077410.html\">qualified for the 2020 ballot\u003c/a>, would scale back Proposition 13, a decades-old law that grandfathered property tax rates for some Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If successful, the measure would bring in an estimated $6 billion partly earmarked for schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers could also take that issue up themselves, rather than leave the large and complex proposal up to voters to decide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wesley Smith, executive director for the Association of California School Administrators, said “school districts up and down the state are feeling the impact of a recession that’s not even here yet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we have to avoid with our new governor coming is that we don’t allow people to believe wrongly that public education finance is fixed. It’s not,” Smith said. “When you’re top 5 in the world in revenue generation, but you prioritize your kids in this country 41st out of 50, you haven’t fixed it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Four new fire stations would be built in the several villages planned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Kathryn Barger, who represents the area where the development would be built, spoke in favor of the project. She said she was confident concerns about impact on traffic would be alleviated and she was relying on the opinion of fire experts that the risk of fire was minimized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She cited the state’s need for 180,000 new homes a year. She said the shortage had put a strain on affordability and the homelessness problem and suggested Centennial would contribute to solving those problems without creating the runaway development associated with Southern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not just another sprawl project,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state has deemed the area a “high” and “very high” fire hazard zone. There were 31 wildfires greater than 100 acres within 5 miles of the development, including four within its boundaries, in the past half-century, county planning documents said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The project surrounded by miles of wilderness received a boost from several prominent environmental groups, such as Audubon, Sierra Club and Natural Resources Defense Council, who signed on in support a decade ago in exchange for developers conserving nearly 90 percent of the 420-square-mile property.
