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.",

Many of those proposals stalled in the Legislature’s secretive appropriations committees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The only \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB1194\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">measure\u003c/a> going to Gov. Jerry Brown for consideration without the union’s stamp of approval would require municipalities to disclose the tax rate required to fund bond measures, including school bonds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two groups did reach a \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2017/05/25/72181/kicked-out-of-a-charter-school-deal-struck-in-sacr/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">compromise\u003c/a> on a \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billCompareClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB1360\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bill\u003c/a> that strengthens charter school discipline and dismissal policies. But the charter association’s chief advocate, Carlos Marquez, acknowledged how rare such agreements are. He called his group’s tension with the union a “regrettable state of affairs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Where do we go from here?” said Marquez, the group’s senior vice president for government affairs. “Honestly, I don’t know. This work requires us to take the long view.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The association didn’t take a formal position on the proposal to create a state-run STEM school for about 800 Los Angeles-area students, but it might as well have. Broad, one of the group’s wealthy benefactors and one of the union’s biggest foes, had been pushing for it since January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His involvement was bound to draw union opposition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, Broad was among a small group of donors who banded together to \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2016/11/11/66059/flood-of-spending-by-charter-advocates-leads-to-el/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">invest\u003c/a> nearly $20 million in campaigns that sent Democrats to Sacramento who support charter schools.

It invested considerably more in ballot-measure battles. That imbalance led to speculation that the union’s prospects for a successful legislative year would dim, but that didn’t pan out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Broad said the nonprofit STEM school would seek to serve low-income and other high-need students—foster youth, homeless children, English learners—and “ensure they have the opportunity and the skill set to become leaders.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also pledged to support the school financially. That generosity fueled criticism by the union and their allies that Broad might seek to profit from the public school. A union lobbyist even doctored editorial cartoons on other topics to make them seem as though they’d been drawn to make that point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokeswoman for the union called that move a “poor choice” and said the union doesn’t condone the lobbyist’s behavior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokeswoman for Broad said neither he nor any of the more than 40 organizations that endorsed the school proposal wanted to make money from it or could have done so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vast sums of cash the union and charter groups have spent to influence policy helps explain their success in halting legislation they oppose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the first half of this year, according to the most recent reports, the union spent about $1.5 million on lobbying, while the charter schools association and EdVoice, another group that supports charters, together spent about $800,000. Both camps rank in the top 10 among the state’s lobbyist employers for money spent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[EducationDuel]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marquez helped the association defeat all six proposals it opposed, including \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB1478\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">one\u003c/a> that would have forced charters to follow the state’s open records and public meetings laws, and \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB808\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">another\u003c/a> to dismantle the system of appeals that applicants seeking to open a school may use when their petitions are denied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Charter schools have been operating in California since the early 1990s, but some state lawmakers still know relatively little about them, Marquez said. Helping to elect charter-friendly legislators has made his work easier. What makes it harder, he said, are the union’s lobbying tactics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He pointed to a flier the union distributed ahead of a vote on a \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB1220\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">measure\u003c/a> to make teachers work longer before winning tenure. The flier compared the proposal’s author, Democratic Assemblywoman \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/shirley-weber-sharecroppers-daughter-fierce-california-lawmaker/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shirley Weber\u003c/a> of San Diego, to President Trump and urged legislators to vote no.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If they’re willing to put stuff out there about Dr. Weber that any reasonable person would conclude is a lie, you have to ask yourself some hard questions about the claims they put out there on the charter sector and about a lot of other arguments they advance,” Marquez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weber’s bill is unique among proposals the union opposed this year. Several union members helped her craft the bill, which \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2017/author-shelves-teacher-tenure-bill-union-backed-alternative-emerges/584760\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">stalled\u003c/a> in the Senate after clearing that tough vote in the Assembly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heins, the union president, was dismissive of the \u003ca href=\"https://e4e.org/blog-news/press-release/educators-excellence-los-angeles-statement-introduction-teacher-and-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">teachers\u003c/a> who worked on the legislation. He said they don’t speak for his roughly 325,000 members, whose jobs, wages and working conditions are his duty to protect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That “people power” is the real source of the union’s might in Sacramento, said Jack Pitney, a political scientist at Claremont McKenna College.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They don’t have to run on all cylinders in every election because everyone knows what they could do if they had to,” Pitney said. “They have members in every single community in California. They’re well organized, and if they needed to they could organize en masse very quickly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These teachers,” he added, “are awfully hard to beat.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CALmatters.org is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

He called his group’s tension with the union a “regrettable state of affairs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Where do we go from here?” said Marquez, the group’s senior vice president for government affairs. “Honestly, I don’t know.

It invested considerably more in ballot-measure battles. That imbalance led to speculation that the union’s prospects for a successful legislative year would dim, but that didn’t pan out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Broad said the nonprofit STEM school would seek to serve low-income and other high-need students—foster youth, homeless children, English learners—and “ensure they have the opportunity and the skill set to become leaders.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also pledged to support the school financially. That generosity fueled criticism by the union and their allies that Broad might seek to profit from the public school. A union lobbyist even doctored editorial cartoons on other topics to make them seem as though they’d been drawn to make that point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokeswoman for the union called that move a “poor choice” and said the union doesn’t condone the lobbyist’s behavior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokeswoman for Broad said neither he nor any of the more than 40 organizations that endorsed the school proposal wanted to make money from it or could have done so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vast sums of cash the union and charter groups have spent to influence policy helps explain their success in halting legislation they oppose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the first half of this year, according to the most recent reports, the union spent about $1.5 million on lobbying, while the charter schools association and EdVoice, another group that supports charters, together spent about $800,000. Both camps rank in the top 10 among the state’s lobbyist employers for money spent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[EducationDuel]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marquez helped the association defeat all six proposals it opposed, including \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB1478\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">one\u003c/a> that would have forced charters to follow the state’s open records and public meetings laws, and \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB808\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">another\u003c/a> to dismantle the system of appeals that applicants seeking to open a school may use when their petitions are denied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Charter schools have been operating in California since the early 1990s, but some state lawmakers still know relatively little about them, Marquez said. Helping to elect charter-friendly legislators has made his work easier. What makes it harder, he said, are the union’s lobbying tactics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He pointed to a flier the union distributed ahead of a vote on a \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB1220\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">measure\u003c/a> to make teachers work longer before winning tenure. The flier compared the proposal’s author, Democratic Assemblywoman \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/shirley-weber-sharecroppers-daughter-fierce-california-lawmaker/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shirley Weber\u003c/a> of San Diego, to President Trump and urged legislators to vote no.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If they’re willing to put stuff out there about Dr. Weber that any reasonable person would conclude is a lie, you have to ask yourself some hard questions about the claims they put out there on the charter sector and about a lot of other arguments they advance,” Marquez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weber’s bill is unique among proposals the union opposed this year. Several union members helped her craft the bill, which \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2017/author-shelves-teacher-tenure-bill-union-backed-alternative-emerges/584760\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">stalled\u003c/a> in the Senate after clearing that tough vote in the Assembly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heins, the union president, was dismissive of the \u003ca href=\"https://e4e.org/blog-news/press-release/educators-excellence-los-angeles-statement-introduction-teacher-and-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">teachers\u003c/a> who worked on the legislation. He said they don’t speak for his roughly 325,000 members, whose jobs, wages and working conditions are his duty to protect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That “people power” is the real source of the union’s might in Sacramento, said Jack Pitney, a political scientist at Claremont McKenna College.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They don’t have to run on all cylinders in every election because everyone knows what they could do if they had to,” Pitney said. “They have members in every single community in California. They’re well organized, and if they needed to they could organize en masse very quickly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These teachers,” he added, “are awfully hard to beat.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

If the Bay Area Toll Authority, the agency that oversees the bridges, seeks that maximum $3 increase, tolls on the bridges would be $8 to $9.

The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority would get $375 million, part of what it needs to build a planned BART extension to downtown San Jose. Some $325 million would go to a long-dreamed-of Caltrain extension from San Francisco’s far-South of Market to downtown. The Bay Area’s Water Emergency Transportation Authority would get $300 to pay for new boats and dock facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the highway side, $300 million in toll proceeds would go to building new paid express lanes on Bay Area freeways, and another $1.1 billion would go to rebuilding interchanges and improving the most heavily traveled highway corridors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another major feature: In a provision put forward by longtime BART critic Sen. Steve Glazer, D-Orinda, the measure creates a new inspector general position that would have sweeping authority to watch over the agency’s finances and performance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A long list of local officials, unions, business and urban planning groups supported SB 595 as crucial for dealing with current and future transportation challenges in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This bill gives the Bay Area the bold plan it needs for the future,’’ Sen.

The bill by state Sen. Jim Beall, D-Campbell, won final Senate passage Thursday and now awaits the governor’s signature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SB 595 provides for a vote in the nine Bay Area counties next year to raise tolls on the region’s state-owned bridges — that’s all of them, except the Golden Gate — by as much as $3. If the Bay Area Toll Authority, the agency that oversees the bridges, seeks that maximum $3 increase, tolls on the bridges would be $8 to $9.

The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority would get $375 million, part of what it needs to build a planned BART extension to downtown San Jose. Some $325 million would go to a long-dreamed-of Caltrain extension from San Francisco’s far-South of Market to downtown. The Bay Area’s Water Emergency Transportation Authority would get $300 to pay for new boats and dock facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the highway side, $300 million in toll proceeds would go to building new paid express lanes on Bay Area freeways, and another $1.1 billion would go to rebuilding interchanges and improving the most heavily traveled highway corridors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another major feature: In a provision put forward by longtime BART critic Sen. Steve Glazer, D-Orinda, the measure creates a new inspector general position that would have sweeping authority to watch over the agency’s finances and performance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A long list of local officials, unions, business and urban planning groups supported SB 595 as crucial for dealing with current and future transportation challenges in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This bill gives the Bay Area the bold plan it needs for the future,’’ Sen. Beall, the bill’s sponsor, said in a statement after the proposal finally made it through the Assembly on Wednesday.

There have also been \u003ca href=\"http://www.dailycal.org/2017/08/24/ann-coulter-to-join-milo-yiannopouloss-free-speech-week-steve-bannon-unconfirmed/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reports\u003c/a> that Breitbart chief Steve Bannon and right-wing commentator Ann Coulter would participate in the event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In February, Yiannopoulos was scheduled to speak at Cal, but the event was canceled in the wake of \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/02/01/milo-yiannopoulos-event-at-uc-berkeley-canceled/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">protests that turned violent\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The unrest, driven largely by a group of \"black bloc\" militants, included vandalism on and off campus and a reported $100,000 in damage to Cal's student union building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The violence \"spilled onto the streets and it resulted in vandalism and damages of local businesses and some people getting hurt in our community,” Arreguin said in an interview Monday, after he \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/02/03/berkeley-mayor-uc-police-union-criticize-campus-over-plans-for-milo-yiannopolous-protest/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">criticized\u003c/a> UC Berkeley officials for failing to prepare better for that event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"meKswnhtJhBbYpYpa2sRgTtDInfBNu1B\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mayor said he's concerned about a repeat of that episode in the wake of \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/08/27/photos-berkeley-protests-the-far-right/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">violence that erupted Sunday\u003c/a> after a planned rally by right-wing activists sparked a massive counterprotest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \"No to Marxism\" rally drew only a handful of attendees to Berkeley's Civic Center Park after organizer Amber Cummings called it off. The counterprotest attracted more than 7,000 people, by Arreguin's estimate, who for the most part gathered and marched peacefully.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arreguin acknowledged the counterprotest was mostly calm, with demonstrators singing, dancing and chanting. But what he called \"a small group of extremists\" caused violence, with some journalists threatened and right-wing protesters attacked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They came in here with the intent on committing violence and mayhem. They wanted to physically confront conservatives,” said Arreguin of the group of black-clad militants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Berkeley Police Department reported that there were six injuries and 13 arrests for a variety of charges, including assault with a deadly weapon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arreguin said he doesn’t want any more violence in Berkeley from either the far right or far left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if Yiannopoulos's planned talk goes forward, he said he'd like to sit down with the university to discuss strategic plans to combat violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I obviously believe in freedom of speech, but there is a line between freedom of speech and then posing a risk to public safety,” Arreguin told the San Francisco Chronicle. “That is where we have to really be very careful — that while protecting people’s free speech rights, we are not putting our citizens in a potentially dangerous situation and costing the city hundreds of thousands of dollars fixing the windows of businesses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Berkeley officials say they'll work with the city to address safety issues -- and emphasized speakers have not been invited by the university itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We appreciate and understand the mayor’s concerns, and the university will continue to work in close concert with the city in support of our shared commitment to the safety of our communities,\" Cal spokesman Dan Mogulof said in a statement Wednesday. \"We do want to make clear that the university did not 'invite' any of the speakers in question. Rather they are being hosted by registered student organizations that are legally independent from the campus. We have neither the legal right or ability to interfere with or cancel their invitations based on the perspectives and beliefs of the speakers. Where we do have discretion is around everything that has to do with the safety of our communities, and the well-being of those who may feel threatened or harmed by what some of these speakers may espouse. We can assure you that those priorities, along with our commitment to free speech, remain at the center of our planning and preparations.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was updated to include UC Berkeley's response to Mayor Arreguin's concerns. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The counterprotest attracted more than 7,000 people, by Arreguin's estimate, who for the most part gathered and marched peacefully.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arreguin acknowledged the counterprotest was mostly calm, with demonstrators singing, dancing and chanting. But what he called \"a small group of extremists\" caused violence, with some journalists threatened and right-wing protesters attacked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They came in here with the intent on committing violence and mayhem. They wanted to physically confront conservatives,” said Arreguin of the group of black-clad militants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Berkeley Police Department reported that there were six injuries and 13 arrests for a variety of charges, including assault with a deadly weapon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arreguin said he doesn’t want any more violence in Berkeley from either the far right or far left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if Yiannopoulos's planned talk goes forward, he said he'd like to sit down with the university to discuss strategic plans to combat violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I obviously believe in freedom of speech, but there is a line between freedom of speech and then posing a risk to public safety,” Arreguin told the San Francisco Chronicle. “That is where we have to really be very careful — that while protecting people’s free speech rights, we are not putting our citizens in a potentially dangerous situation and costing the city hundreds of thousands of dollars fixing the windows of businesses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Berkeley officials say they'll work with the city to address safety issues -- and emphasized speakers have not been invited by the university itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We appreciate and understand the mayor’s concerns, and the university will continue to work in close concert with the city in support of our shared commitment to the safety of our communities,\" Cal spokesman Dan Mogulof said in a statement Wednesday. \"We do want to make clear that the university did not 'invite' any of the speakers in question. Rather they are being hosted by registered student organizations that are legally independent from the campus. We have neither the legal right or ability to interfere with or cancel their invitations based on the perspectives and beliefs of the speakers. Where we do have discretion is around everything that has to do with the safety of our communities, and the well-being of those who may feel threatened or harmed by what some of these speakers may espouse. We can assure you that those priorities, along with our commitment to free speech, remain at the center of our planning and preparations.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was updated to include UC Berkeley's response to Mayor Arreguin's concerns. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
