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.",

The air district said it received about a dozen complaints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's also no evidence that Valero monitored the air in those residential areas during the time period when the releases were most extreme.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The refinery problems sent soot into the air and followed two weeks of more minor releases that regulators thought were tapering off. The plume that morning eventually led Valero to shut down a large part of its facility, a move that has contributed to the increase in the cost of gas statewide in recent weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several public agencies and companies conducted air monitoring work to measure for a variety of chemicals that may have spewed from the refinery's stacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some local officials say those tests may prove that, for the most part, elevated levels of particulate matter and toxic gases did not waft into nearby residential neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, it looks so far like the pollution was not as bad as the extreme release of toxic sulfur dioxide that accompanied \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11681218/cpuc-probe-says-pge-mistakes-led-to-benicia-refinery-outage\">Valero's May 2017 power outage\u003c/a>, one of the Bay Area's worst refinery accidents in years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/TedrickG/status/1109828119693684736\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Benicia's mayor, along with a leading air quality expert and two local environmentalists, say these most recent releases confirm that the small North Bay city needs a more robust and coordinated strategy to measure what gushes out of its largest employer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It seems that right now, if there's an incident, what happens is folks kind of drive around and see if they can catch the plume,\" said Anthony Wexler, director of the Air Quality Research Center at UC Davis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Valero's data:\"Questionable until further notice\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11735237/valeros-benicia-refinery-now-target-of-several-probes-into-pollution-releases\">Three government agencies are investigating\u003c/a> the most recent malfunction at the Valero refinery.

Homeless Center Fight and Mueller Report\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">On Wednesday, utility giant PG&E announced the appointment of a new CEO, Bill Johnson, and 10 new board members as it undergoes bankruptcy proceedings and faces tens of billions of dollars in liability claims over deadly wildfires. Also this week, San Francisco Mayor London Breed was shouted down during a public meeting to discuss her plan to build a controversial, 200-bed homeless navigation center along the Embarcadero. Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, Democratic lawmakers granted the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee power to compel Attorney General William Barr to release the full report from special counsel Robert Mueller. \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, politics correspondent, KQED\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sean Walsh, GOP political consultant, Wilson Walsh Consulting\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dominic Fracassa, City Hall reporter, San Francisco Chronicle \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>San Francisco’s Meth Epidemic\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Since 2011, methamphetamine-related deaths in San Francisco have doubled and emergency room visits to city hospitals have increased 600 percent. In response to the growing epidemic, a task force is being convened this spring by San Francisco Mayor London Breed and Supervisor Rafael Mandelman to boost rehabilitation and treatment options for crystal meth users.
