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.",

Borrowers who were transferred to a new servicer and no longer got credit for payments they’d already made. Borrowers who were eligible for an income-based repayment plan but didn’t realize it, and ended up going into default.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is currently suing Navient, one of the country’s largest student loan servicers, alleging that the company failed to advise struggling borrowers that they were eligible for reduced payments, instead steering them into forbearances that delayed repayment but allowed interest to accumulate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://slsa.net/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Student Loan Servicing Alliance\u003c/a>, an association of major servicers, opposes the legislation but did not respond to requests for comment or send a representative to the committee hearing where Stone’s bill passed Monday. The measure now heads to the Assembly’s appropriations committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblyman Steven Choi, a Republican from Irvine, was among those who chose not to vote on the bill, saying he feared it would encourage frivolous lawsuits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California undergraduates take out smaller loans on average than those in most other states — in part due to the state’s relatively generous financial aid. But student loan debt in the state still has more than doubled since 2008, and disproportionately affects low-income communities and people of color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/file/429/5/4295-student-loan-debt-in-the-bay-area.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A study\u003c/a> released Tuesday by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and that city’s treasurer, found that one in six Bay Area borrowers had defaulted in the past 15 years.

"content": "\u003cp>Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf said Thursday she wants the courts to decide the legality of a contentious parcel tax rather than put a replacement measure on the 2020 ballot, and she says she’ll fight any effort to water down the original measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Measure AA, on the November 2018 ballot, aimed to raise $30 million annually for early childhood education for 30 years. But it has been mired in controversy after the City Council voted to certify its passage last December. The measure received only 62 percent of the vote, but \u003ca href=\"https://cao-94612.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/2018-Full-Measures-List-For-Website.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">election material\u003c/a> given to voters prior to the election stated two-thirds voter approval was required for passage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city was then hit by a lawsuit in February by several homeowners and landlords and the Jobs and Housing Coalition, a business lobbying group. The Coalition’s CEO, Greg McConnell, argues that Measure AA is illegal because it failed to meet the higher voting threshold requirement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We think it’s important that the voters trust the process,” McConnell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to the lawsuit, the City Council \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Oakland-council-postpones-collection-of-Measure-13773725.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">voted this week to postpone collecting the tax\u003c/a>, infuriating Schaaf, who strongly backed the measure. Schaaf said she would continue to fight for Oakland’s low-income children and their right to a college education and “oppose any effort that attempts to sell them out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schaaf and other supporters of Measure AA argue that citizen-based tax measures should need only a simple majority. It’s a novel interpretation of a state law requiring the two-thirds threshold for ballot initiatives seeking to raise taxes for specific needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A state Supreme Court ruling in 2017 opened up the possibility that a citizens' initiative like Oakland’s Measure AA could become law with a simple majority vote. There's a similar legal dispute in \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11702831/voters-show-heavy-support-for-new-bay-area-business-taxes-including-s-f-measure-c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco over Proposition C\u003c/a>, which proposed to raise business taxes to pay for homeless services, that's currently in the courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Councilwoman Sheng Thao said a court ruling backing the lower threshold would be great, but that “it’s important to maintain the voters' trust and the integrity of the process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said the legal fight could be long, and in the meantime city officials should start considering how to craft a new measure to break the two-thirds requirement. She suggested the possibility of collecting the tax over fewer years or lowering the $198 annual tax on single-family homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The City Council is due to meet April 30 to consider an agreement with business groups to pause the lawsuit for one year while lawmakers consider a separate measure for the 2020 ballot. But the Coalition’s McConnell said they won’t dismiss the suit yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have to keep our lawsuit active and pending to ensure that the city does in fact try and come up with something that is agreeable,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schaaf said the move by the council serves to placate the landlords and developers trying to kill Measure AA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our kids deserve 30 years of support ... and so this idea of trying to appease everyone and change nothing — that is what compromises trust in government,” Schaaf said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But it has been mired in controversy after the City Council voted to certify its passage last December. The measure received only 62 percent of the vote, but \u003ca href=\"https://cao-94612.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/2018-Full-Measures-List-For-Website.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">election material\u003c/a> given to voters prior to the election stated two-thirds voter approval was required for passage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city was then hit by a lawsuit in February by several homeowners and landlords and the Jobs and Housing Coalition, a business lobbying group. The Coalition’s CEO, Greg McConnell, argues that Measure AA is illegal because it failed to meet the higher voting threshold requirement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We think it’s important that the voters trust the process,” McConnell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to the lawsuit, the City Council \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Oakland-council-postpones-collection-of-Measure-13773725.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">voted this week to postpone collecting the tax\u003c/a>, infuriating Schaaf, who strongly backed the measure. Schaaf said she would continue to fight for Oakland’s low-income children and their right to a college education and “oppose any effort that attempts to sell them out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It’s a novel interpretation of a state law requiring the two-thirds threshold for ballot initiatives seeking to raise taxes for specific needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A state Supreme Court ruling in 2017 opened up the possibility that a citizens' initiative like Oakland’s Measure AA could become law with a simple majority vote. There's a similar legal dispute in \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11702831/voters-show-heavy-support-for-new-bay-area-business-taxes-including-s-f-measure-c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco over Proposition C\u003c/a>, which proposed to raise business taxes to pay for homeless services, that's currently in the courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Councilwoman Sheng Thao said a court ruling backing the lower threshold would be great, but that “it’s important to maintain the voters' trust and the integrity of the process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said the legal fight could be long, and in the meantime city officials should start considering how to craft a new measure to break the two-thirds requirement. She suggested the possibility of collecting the tax over fewer years or lowering the $198 annual tax on single-family homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The City Council is due to meet April 30 to consider an agreement with business groups to pause the lawsuit for one year while lawmakers consider a separate measure for the 2020 ballot. But the Coalition’s McConnell said they won’t dismiss the suit yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have to keep our lawsuit active and pending to ensure that the city does in fact try and come up with something that is agreeable,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schaaf said the move by the council serves to placate the landlords and developers trying to kill Measure AA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our kids deserve 30 years of support ... and so this idea of trying to appease everyone and change nothing — that is what compromises trust in government,” Schaaf said.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

I couldn’t ignore them if I tried.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I can’t have everyone around me use a microphone. Last year I went to see the school play, and about five minutes in, I realized that I wasn’t going to understand a thing. The actors didn’t have microphones. So this year I looked up the script online and read the entire thing beforehand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Freshman year I decided to try something I’ve always wanted to do. I joined my school’s swim team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue was that my processors aren’t waterproof. So I made sure to tell the coach, “Hey, I’m deaf,” and she said, “No problem.” But there was one small hiccup: I missed one of my very first races. The pool deck was loud and it was cold and rainy, and I didn’t have my processors on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This wasn’t a super tragic moment for me, since I wasn’t that invested in the race. But it did remind me that I need to make one thing clear: Cochlear implants are not the same as real hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11740718\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11740718 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36214__M6A0689-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36214__M6A0689-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36214__M6A0689-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36214__M6A0689-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36214__M6A0689-qut-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36214__M6A0689-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Howden no longer swims on Santa Clara High School’s swim team.

He taught us about taxes. ... He dotted his I's and he crossed his T's and I love Mr. Gomes for that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although most high schools encourage students to attend college, few do so as doggedly as Center, where students who are generally the first in their families to go to college, are guided through the sometimes bewildering application and financial aid processes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The school's effort is an acknowledgement of the harsh reality that the majority of young people today who only have a high school diploma are unlikely to \u003ca href=\"https://cew.georgetown.edu/cew-reports/3pathways/\">reach the middle class\u003c/a>.

Counselors and teachers work intensively with the school's roughly 80 graduating seniors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Fifty percent of our parents have never graduated from high school,\" said Laurie Brant, who runs Apollo's academic program. For many Apollo students and their families, she noted, graduating from high school is already considered a huge accomplishment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But that doesn't give our kids the capital to know how to navigate the community college system,\" she said. \"They don't know how to sign up, they don't have computer access or Wi-Fi at home. ... We remove those barriers for them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the weeks before graduation, three financial aid administrators, all bilingual Spanish speakers from nearby community colleges, come to Apollo High to help parents and students complete their federal student aid forms and apply for scholarships. Participation is mandatory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During one recent session inside a portable classroom, students and their parents sit at laptops completing forms, as counselors provide guidance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Angel Escamilla, an Apollo senior, and his mother Cecilia, meet with the college counselors to determine the amount of financial aid Angel can receive\u003cb>, \u003c/b>and to make sure his application is in order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is very crucial for him to have some kind of financial aid for him to be able to go, because I would not be able to help him at all, unfortunately,\" Cecilia Escamilla said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said the school's counselors already helped them in November to fill out her son's college applications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In contrast, neighboring William C. Overfelt High School, which is many times larger than Apollo, can't offer the same degree of personalized college prep support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are so many ways the deck is stacked against our families,\" said Vito Chiala, Overfelt's principal. \"Kids slip through the cracks. We wish we had the resources Apollo has.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vast majority of Overfelt's 1,500 students are Latino and almost all students qualify for free or reduced lunch. In California, 65% of Latinos between 25 and 64 have never attended any college, according to \u003ca href=\"http://californiacompetes.org/publications/back-to-college-part-one\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">College Competes\u003c/a>, a higher education policy group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When his students fall behind to the point where they won't be able to graduate, Chiala often sends them next door to seek help from Brant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Montel Floyd, Center High's \"high touch\" approach was the push he needed to continue his education, the kind of guidance he said he wouldn't have gotten at home. Floyd's mother, who was disabled and completely unfamiliar with the college application process, had pushed him to get a job straight out of high school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's what they did back in the day: They graduated from high school and went right into the workforce,\" said Floyd.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
