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.",

Then she cast a glance toward the balcony. “Clean air is a big deal for a lot of Californians,” she said. “You have a choice: Do we all matter?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her bill fell six votes short, as moderate Democrats joined Republicans to quash it.

Current law prohibits ex-legislators from directly lobbying their former colleagues for one year after they leave the Legislature, and a \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB1620\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">measure\u003c/a> on Gov. Jerry Brown’s desk would slightly strengthen that by barring legislators who quit mid-term from lobbying during the remainder of that two-year-session, plus another year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the oil industry’s strategy this year was striking. After failing last year to \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-jerry-brown-signs-climate-laws-20160908-snap-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">prevent\u003c/a> a new law requiring massive cuts to greenhouse gas emissions, oil came back this year lobbying hard. Now Democrats held a supermajority in the Legislature but were divided over how to redesign the state’s landmark cap-and-trade program, which forces businesses to reduce emissions or pay for permits to pollute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The oil industry’s goal: to shape the next phase of cap and trade through 2030. And it had hired four former lawmakers—all Democrats—to advocate on its behalf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each hailed from predominantly working-class Latino districts and joined an influential “mod squad” of moderates during their legislative tenures, which covered various periods between 2002 and 2015.

Their relationships are broad-based and deep. If I were in trouble, they are some of the ones I’d hire,” Townsend said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oil companies have a long history of fighting against the aggressive climate policies backed by many California Democrats. This year, though, instead of fighting against cap and trade, oil teamed with other business interests to lobby to make cap and trade more industry-friendly. In the final deal that lawmakers approved on a bipartisan vote in July, oil won a new law forbidding local air quality districts from enacting emissions restrictions tighter than the state’s—as well as a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/california-climate-deal-net-big-bucks-polluters/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">potential perk\u003c/a> worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Leading environmental groups supported the bill to extend cap and trade for another decade, but other environmentalists wound up opposing it for being too easy on polluters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This easy crossing from legislator to advocate for the industry has happened before, but it seems to have been happening recently in greater bulk. So that, to me, is kind of distressing,” said Kathryn Phillips, a lobbyist for the Sierra Club, which opposed the cap-and-trade plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These are people who have been friends with the people they are going to lobby.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMaWTxBDRSA\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many aspects of those relationships play out in ways the public never sees—through text messages, phone calls or at private get-togethers. Weeks before lawmakers voted on the final cap-and-trade bills, Senate leader Kevin de León dined with Perea and Rubio at an intimate Sacramento restaurant known for \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/food-drink/restaurants/carla-meyer/article78723247.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$44 steaks\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/climate-soulmates/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">De León\u003c/a>, a Los Angeles Democrat who has carried many clean energy bills, said former lawmakers didn’t get any special treatment from him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I sit down with everybody across the spectrum. That’s my job as the leader of the Senate,” he said. “I have to sit down with all perspectives, whether it’s oil, whether it’s clean energy, whether it is labor unions, whether it’s businesses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Perea became a lobbyist, he met with Assembly Speaker \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/gripping-power-for-the-long-term/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Anthony Rendon\u003c/a> to talk about cap and trade, and held additional meetings with the speaker’s staff, Rendon acknowleged. But the speaker rejected the idea that former lawmakers were especially influential in negotiating the next phase of California’s landmark climate policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On an issue like cap and trade, where members arrive with a certain set of values and with information already, I am inclined to think that this is less impactful,” Rendon said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other hand, former lawmakers—especially those who served most recently—can bring unique insider know-how to any lobbying effort. They understand caucus dynamics, know how to tailor persuasive messages to particular legislators, and enjoy unusual access to public officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11625982\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11625982\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly-800x613.jpg\" alt=\"Oil lobbyist Henry Perea walked right past this sign outside California’s Assembly chambers.\" width=\"800\" height=\"613\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly-800x613.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly-160x123.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly-1020x781.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly-1180x903.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly-960x735.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly-240x184.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly-375x287.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly-520x398.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oil lobbyist Henry Perea walked right past this sign outside California’s Assembly chambers. \u003ccite>(Laurel Rosenhall/CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Signs of that were on display throughout the year in the bustling Capitol. In April, Parra \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/LaurelRosenhall/status/855142545612918784\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">participated\u003c/a> in a lunchtime discussion with legislative staffers about professional advancement for women of color, joined by a legislator, a lawmaker’s chief of staff and an aide to the governor who works on environmental issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in September, as lawmakers began a long night voting on dozens of bills, Perea strolled down a Capitol hallway packed with lobbyists and slipped into the back door of the Assembly chamber—right past a sign labeling the room restricted to “members and staff only.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well-connected environmental advocates also roam the halls. Last year, for example, the Assembly honored former legislator Christine Kehoe, a San Diego Democrat who now runs a \u003ca href=\"http://www.pevcollaborative.org/christine-kehoe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">group\u003c/a> that works to expand use of electric vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frequently when politicians leave office, they take a job developing a lobbying strategy—but not directly lobbying. Rubio did that when he \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/opinion/opn-columns-blogs/dan-morain/article2576725.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">quit\u003c/a> the Legislature in 2013 to work for Chevron, as did Perea when he \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/what-happens-when-a-legislator-quits/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">resigned\u003c/a> in 2015 to work for a pharmaceutical trade association. But as the cap-and-trade negotiations heated up this year, both officially registered as lobbyists—a sign that they anticipated having a lot more direct contact with lawmakers. Perea left the pharmaceutical group to \u003ca href=\"https://www.wspa.org/staff/henry-perea/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">join\u003c/a> the Western States Petroleum Association as a registered lobbyist in May. The next month, Rubio registered as a lobbyist for Chevron. In September, he filed paperwork with the Secretary of State ending his registration as a lobbyist. (Both men scored spots this year on a popular \u003ca href=\"http://capitolweekly.net/capitol-weeklys-top-100-list-3/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">list\u003c/a> of the 100 most influential players around the Capitol.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fuentes was elected to the Los Angeles City Council after he was termed out of the Assembly in 2012.

The assemblyman carrying the bill to lengthen the time lawmakers are banned from lobbying said it’s not inspired by any of the Legislature’s recent departures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, even if legal, the idea that personal relationships may influence statewide policy can be disconcerting, said Jessica Levinson, a professor at Loyola Law School and president of the Los Angeles Ethics Commission. “If we think about what we’re worried about when it comes to any lobbyist, it’s the idea that our lawmakers are making decisions based on what hired guns are asking them to do as opposed to what’s good public policy,” Levinson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Lobbyists have an outsized influence on lawmakers, and that is exponentially increased when that lobbyist is a former lawmaker.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11626029\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BigOilGraphic-800x1178.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1178\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BigOilGraphic-800x1178.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BigOilGraphic-160x236.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BigOilGraphic-1020x1501.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BigOilGraphic.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BigOilGraphic-1180x1737.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BigOilGraphic-960x1413.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BigOilGraphic-240x353.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BigOilGraphic-375x552.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BigOilGraphic-520x765.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if former lawmakers held office at different times from today’s legislators, they may be connected through other political circles. That was the case for Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher, whose time in the lower house coincided with Perea but not the other three. She knew them, though, through California’s larger network of Latino Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzalez Fletcher said she never felt she was being pressured by the former legislators as the cap-and-trade negotiations advanced—perhaps because she declared her support for the bill early. Still, she saw them around the Capitol or ran into them while out for after-work drinks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was a lot of checking in: ‘Where are people? Where do you think things will land?’ It felt more like information-gathering in my brief discussions with former members,” Gonzalez Fletcher said. “I didn’t feel a lot of hard lobbying going on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a time when many lawmakers \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article160220334.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">worry\u003c/a> that Sacramento’s lobbying corps isn’t as diverse as either the state or the Legislature (Latinos make up 39 percent of \u003ca href=\"https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/CA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Californians\u003c/a> and 23 percent of \u003ca href=\"https://www.library.ca.gov/crb/16/LegDemographicsNov16.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">state legislators\u003c/a>), the oil industry has been represented by black and Latino lobbyists in the Capitol for several years. Its move to bring on the four Latino former lawmakers reflects a larger economic shift in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not because they are Latino,” said Mike Madrid, a Republican political consultant with expertise in Latino politics. “It’s because they represented districts that are poor and working class. There just happens to be a very strong relationship between race and class in California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Madrid said working-class communities respond to industry arguments about the cost of environmental regulation—either as consumers who will see the cost of gas increase, or as workers who want to keep blue-collar jobs in their regions. With Republicans \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/ousted-leaders-advice-fellow-republicans-stop-repelling-californians/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">divided\u003c/a> over cap and trade, and lacking much clout in the Capitol, it was logical for oil to bring on some prominent Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’re starting to see a transformation of what has traditionally been a right-left red-blue Republican-Democrat divide,” he said. “There is a realignment occurring.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another indication emerged five days before lawmakers voted on the cap-and-trade extension: The California Business Roundtable, a group of 30 companies including Chevron and Valero, enlisted a new lobbyist: Richie Ross, former bare-knuckles chief of staff to one of the most powerful Democratic Assembly speakers in state history, Willie Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/article3958362.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ross is unusual\u003c/a> among Sacramento lobbyists because he is also a political consultant whose clients include 10 Democratic legislators—giving him financial connections both to the groups that pay him to lobby and the politicians who pay him for campaign advice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he provided advice to the Roundtable and did not lobby his political clients in the Legislature: “They had me register (as a lobbyist) because at that point everyone was uncertain as to whether they would need me to lobby.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Roundtable’s president, Rob Lapsley, is a longtime Republican. But he said business groups knew that when it came to cap and trade, they needed Democrats involved to get the plan they wanted from a Democratic-controlled Legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Richie is a smart, strategic adviser with long-term relationships. We found that of great value,” Lapsley said. “He goes back a long way.

Current law prohibits ex-legislators from directly lobbying their former colleagues for one year after they leave the Legislature, and a \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB1620\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">measure\u003c/a> on Gov. Jerry Brown’s desk would slightly strengthen that by barring legislators who quit mid-term from lobbying during the remainder of that two-year-session, plus another year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the oil industry’s strategy this year was striking. After failing last year to \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-jerry-brown-signs-climate-laws-20160908-snap-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">prevent\u003c/a> a new law requiring massive cuts to greenhouse gas emissions, oil came back this year lobbying hard. Now Democrats held a supermajority in the Legislature but were divided over how to redesign the state’s landmark cap-and-trade program, which forces businesses to reduce emissions or pay for permits to pollute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The oil industry’s goal: to shape the next phase of cap and trade through 2030. And it had hired four former lawmakers—all Democrats—to advocate on its behalf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each hailed from predominantly working-class Latino districts and joined an influential “mod squad” of moderates during their legislative tenures, which covered various periods between 2002 and 2015. Two are from Kern County, the biggest oil producer in California. And three quit their elective office mid-term to work for industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All four declined interviews for this article, as did their employers.

Their relationships are broad-based and deep. If I were in trouble, they are some of the ones I’d hire,” Townsend said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oil companies have a long history of fighting against the aggressive climate policies backed by many California Democrats. This year, though, instead of fighting against cap and trade, oil teamed with other business interests to lobby to make cap and trade more industry-friendly. In the final deal that lawmakers approved on a bipartisan vote in July, oil won a new law forbidding local air quality districts from enacting emissions restrictions tighter than the state’s—as well as a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/california-climate-deal-net-big-bucks-polluters/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">potential perk\u003c/a> worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Leading environmental groups supported the bill to extend cap and trade for another decade, but other environmentalists wound up opposing it for being too easy on polluters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This easy crossing from legislator to advocate for the industry has happened before, but it seems to have been happening recently in greater bulk. So that, to me, is kind of distressing,” said Kathryn Phillips, a lobbyist for the Sierra Club, which opposed the cap-and-trade plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These are people who have been friends with the people they are going to lobby.”\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/gMaWTxBDRSA'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/gMaWTxBDRSA'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Many aspects of those relationships play out in ways the public never sees—through text messages, phone calls or at private get-togethers. Weeks before lawmakers voted on the final cap-and-trade bills, Senate leader Kevin de León dined with Perea and Rubio at an intimate Sacramento restaurant known for \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/food-drink/restaurants/carla-meyer/article78723247.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$44 steaks\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/climate-soulmates/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">De León\u003c/a>, a Los Angeles Democrat who has carried many clean energy bills, said former lawmakers didn’t get any special treatment from him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I sit down with everybody across the spectrum. That’s my job as the leader of the Senate,” he said. “I have to sit down with all perspectives, whether it’s oil, whether it’s clean energy, whether it is labor unions, whether it’s businesses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Perea became a lobbyist, he met with Assembly Speaker \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/gripping-power-for-the-long-term/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Anthony Rendon\u003c/a> to talk about cap and trade, and held additional meetings with the speaker’s staff, Rendon acknowleged. But the speaker rejected the idea that former lawmakers were especially influential in negotiating the next phase of California’s landmark climate policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On an issue like cap and trade, where members arrive with a certain set of values and with information already, I am inclined to think that this is less impactful,” Rendon said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other hand, former lawmakers—especially those who served most recently—can bring unique insider know-how to any lobbying effort. They understand caucus dynamics, know how to tailor persuasive messages to particular legislators, and enjoy unusual access to public officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11625982\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11625982\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly-800x613.jpg\" alt=\"Oil lobbyist Henry Perea walked right past this sign outside California’s Assembly chambers.\" width=\"800\" height=\"613\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly-800x613.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly-160x123.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly-1020x781.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly-1180x903.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly-960x735.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly-240x184.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly-375x287.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly-520x398.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oil lobbyist Henry Perea walked right past this sign outside California’s Assembly chambers. \u003ccite>(Laurel Rosenhall/CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Signs of that were on display throughout the year in the bustling Capitol. In April, Parra \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/LaurelRosenhall/status/855142545612918784\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">participated\u003c/a> in a lunchtime discussion with legislative staffers about professional advancement for women of color, joined by a legislator, a lawmaker’s chief of staff and an aide to the governor who works on environmental issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in September, as lawmakers began a long night voting on dozens of bills, Perea strolled down a Capitol hallway packed with lobbyists and slipped into the back door of the Assembly chamber—right past a sign labeling the room restricted to “members and staff only.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well-connected environmental advocates also roam the halls. Last year, for example, the Assembly honored former legislator Christine Kehoe, a San Diego Democrat who now runs a \u003ca href=\"http://www.pevcollaborative.org/christine-kehoe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">group\u003c/a> that works to expand use of electric vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frequently when politicians leave office, they take a job developing a lobbying strategy—but not directly lobbying. Rubio did that when he \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/opinion/opn-columns-blogs/dan-morain/article2576725.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">quit\u003c/a> the Legislature in 2013 to work for Chevron, as did Perea when he \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/what-happens-when-a-legislator-quits/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">resigned\u003c/a> in 2015 to work for a pharmaceutical trade association. But as the cap-and-trade negotiations heated up this year, both officially registered as lobbyists—a sign that they anticipated having a lot more direct contact with lawmakers. Perea left the pharmaceutical group to \u003ca href=\"https://www.wspa.org/staff/henry-perea/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">join\u003c/a> the Western States Petroleum Association as a registered lobbyist in May. The next month, Rubio registered as a lobbyist for Chevron. In September, he filed paperwork with the Secretary of State ending his registration as a lobbyist. (Both men scored spots this year on a popular \u003ca href=\"http://capitolweekly.net/capitol-weeklys-top-100-list-3/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">list\u003c/a> of the 100 most influential players around the Capitol.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fuentes was elected to the Los Angeles City Council after he was termed out of the Assembly in 2012.

The assemblyman carrying the bill to lengthen the time lawmakers are banned from lobbying said it’s not inspired by any of the Legislature’s recent departures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, even if legal, the idea that personal relationships may influence statewide policy can be disconcerting, said Jessica Levinson, a professor at Loyola Law School and president of the Los Angeles Ethics Commission. “If we think about what we’re worried about when it comes to any lobbyist, it’s the idea that our lawmakers are making decisions based on what hired guns are asking them to do as opposed to what’s good public policy,” Levinson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Lobbyists have an outsized influence on lawmakers, and that is exponentially increased when that lobbyist is a former lawmaker.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11626029\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BigOilGraphic-800x1178.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1178\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BigOilGraphic-800x1178.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BigOilGraphic-160x236.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BigOilGraphic-1020x1501.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BigOilGraphic.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BigOilGraphic-1180x1737.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BigOilGraphic-960x1413.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BigOilGraphic-240x353.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BigOilGraphic-375x552.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BigOilGraphic-520x765.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if former lawmakers held office at different times from today’s legislators, they may be connected through other political circles. That was the case for Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher, whose time in the lower house coincided with Perea but not the other three. She knew them, though, through California’s larger network of Latino Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzalez Fletcher said she never felt she was being pressured by the former legislators as the cap-and-trade negotiations advanced—perhaps because she declared her support for the bill early. Still, she saw them around the Capitol or ran into them while out for after-work drinks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was a lot of checking in: ‘Where are people? Where do you think things will land?’ It felt more like information-gathering in my brief discussions with former members,” Gonzalez Fletcher said. “I didn’t feel a lot of hard lobbying going on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a time when many lawmakers \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article160220334.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">worry\u003c/a> that Sacramento’s lobbying corps isn’t as diverse as either the state or the Legislature (Latinos make up 39 percent of \u003ca href=\"https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/CA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Californians\u003c/a> and 23 percent of \u003ca href=\"https://www.library.ca.gov/crb/16/LegDemographicsNov16.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">state legislators\u003c/a>), the oil industry has been represented by black and Latino lobbyists in the Capitol for several years. Its move to bring on the four Latino former lawmakers reflects a larger economic shift in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not because they are Latino,” said Mike Madrid, a Republican political consultant with expertise in Latino politics. “It’s because they represented districts that are poor and working class. There just happens to be a very strong relationship between race and class in California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Madrid said working-class communities respond to industry arguments about the cost of environmental regulation—either as consumers who will see the cost of gas increase, or as workers who want to keep blue-collar jobs in their regions. With Republicans \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/ousted-leaders-advice-fellow-republicans-stop-repelling-californians/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">divided\u003c/a> over cap and trade, and lacking much clout in the Capitol, it was logical for oil to bring on some prominent Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’re starting to see a transformation of what has traditionally been a right-left red-blue Republican-Democrat divide,” he said. “There is a realignment occurring.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another indication emerged five days before lawmakers voted on the cap-and-trade extension: The California Business Roundtable, a group of 30 companies including Chevron and Valero, enlisted a new lobbyist: Richie Ross, former bare-knuckles chief of staff to one of the most powerful Democratic Assembly speakers in state history, Willie Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/article3958362.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ross is unusual\u003c/a> among Sacramento lobbyists because he is also a political consultant whose clients include 10 Democratic legislators—giving him financial connections both to the groups that pay him to lobby and the politicians who pay him for campaign advice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he provided advice to the Roundtable and did not lobby his political clients in the Legislature: “They had me register (as a lobbyist) because at that point everyone was uncertain as to whether they would need me to lobby.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Roundtable’s president, Rob Lapsley, is a longtime Republican. But he said business groups knew that when it came to cap and trade, they needed Democrats involved to get the plan they wanted from a Democratic-controlled Legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Richie is a smart, strategic adviser with long-term relationships. We found that of great value,” Lapsley said. “He goes back a long way. And he was very helpful in getting additional insights.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Valero, like others, is waiting on answers from PG&E, which are still not forthcoming,\" Riojas said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E hired Exponent, a third party engineering firm, to conduct a view of the outage.

It turned out the malfunction was connected to its Coker unit, which makes gasoline through the use of high temperatures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A week later the same unit malfunctioned, leading to yet another round of \u003ca href=\"https://w3.calema.ca.gov/operational/malhaz.nsf/f1841a103c102734882563e200760c4a/a15f930b05dcf6148825811e00801d35?OpenDocument&Highlight=0,valero\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">flaring\u003c/a>. This time, it covered cars near MRC Global, a company on Bayshore Road close to the refinery, with an \"oil-based\" substance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That second problem was caused by trapped moisture in the piping system as a result of the unit being shut down because of the initial outage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The refinery could have done a better job of minimizing subsequent releases that occurred during the restart,\" Smith said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The outage led to an increase in the \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/05/10/after-valero-refinery-outage-three-probes-and-rising-gas-prices/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">state's gasoline prices,\u003c/a> hurt the company's bottom line and damaged one of the refinery's flares.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently it has prompted extra \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/08/23/epa-demands-answers-from-valero-months-after-massive-benicia-refinery-outage/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">scrutiny from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency\u003c/a> into the power issues at the Benicia facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The refinery released more than 80,000 pounds of sulfur dioxide on the day of the outage and in the weeks afterward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schmidtbauer says Valero is still working on its root-cause analysis of the incident.

Firms that contract with Cal Fire for heavy equipment are required to provide copies of their current workers' compensation insurance policies for their employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Tehama Transport did not have to abide by that requirement because it registered as an \"owner/operator.\" Under that classification, the company was saying that Paiz either had ownership in the company or was a relative of someone who did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without that coverage, Paiz's family, his wife and teenage daughter, might lose out on hundreds of thousands of dollars in benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Paiz lived most of the year in Missouri but worked several months out of the year in other parts of the country doing wildland firefighting, according to two of his most recent employers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because of the confusion over his relationship with the company, Cal Fire has referred questions over Paiz's coverage to state workplace regulators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That has prompted the California Department of Industrial Relations and the state Labor Commissioner's office to launch an investigation into Tehama Transport, DIR spokesman Peter Melton said in an email Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Company representatives have not returned requests for comment, but have offered support through an \u003ca href=\"https://www.gofundme.com/memorial-fund-for-garrett-paiztaco\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">online fundraising effort\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"On behalf of Tehama Transport, we are deeply heart broken ...\" wrote Heather Ascherin Morway on the memorial fund site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We would like to send our deepest condolences to his family. This is a tragic accident and our thoughts and prayers are with Garrett's family at this time. We will continue working with the local authorities to bring peace and closure to his family. This is a very difficult time for all of us out there that fight fires when we lose one of our own,\" Morway wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That grief extends to communities in Missouri, where Paiz's love for firefighting was well known.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That was his passion. That was his dream,\" said Brandon Barrett, the chief of the Noel Fire Department, where Paiz was employed in the last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's heartbreaking, it's a tremendous loss,\" Barrett said in an interview Wednesday, adding that Paiz was planning on returning to work in Missouri in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several members of the department plan to travel to California next week to attend Paiz's funeral, according to Barrett.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barrett and Gary Banta, the chief of the Fire Department in Dade County, Missouri, where Paiz worked for several years before Noel, said he made it clear to them that several months out of the year he would work as a wildland firefighter in other parts of the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He always had a smile on his face ... willing to do anything to help anybody out,\" said Banta.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
