"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.",

The state Air Resources Board has held three carbon allowance auctions so far, generating nearly $260 million in state revenue. By law, that money is supposed to go toward programs aimed at reducing greenhouse gases and improving the air. A portion of the revenue is also supposed to be funneled to poorer, heavily-polluted communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Brown Administration says the state needs more time to design and develop these efforts, so the governor’s revised budget proposes taking all the revenue and loaning it to the general fund, which pays for broader government spending. That would essentially delay any spending on the emission-lowering programs for at least another year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mari Rose Taruc, the state organizing director for the Asian Pacific Environmental Network, said she was, “shocked and upset” when she got the news. “[The programs are] ready. AB 32 has been on the books for seven years now. Of course there are programs that are ready.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taruc’s group is one of several that has been meeting with the state to put together a plan on how to spend the cap-and-trade revenue. The Greenlining Institute, another environmental justice group, was also in those meetings. Legal council Ryan Young said the suggestions include, “low-income solar programs, increased access to transit, affordable transit-oriented development, as well as community greening, like urban forestry.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_69484\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/07/03/gov-jerry-brown-asks-for-more-time-on-ca-pensions/jerry-brown-7/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-69484\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-69484 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/07/jerry-brown.jpg\" alt=\"jerry-brown\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gov.

But Air Resources Board spokesman Dave Clegern said the blueprint needs improvement. “We have a variety of options for spending money. It’s a pot of money, so there are a lot of people who want a piece of it,” he said, adding, “we want to make sure that money goes where it will have the biggest impact on the programs and the goals of AB 32, which is greenhouse gas emission reduction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Technically, by loaning the cap-and-trade money to the general fund, the state would still be complying with the requirements on how to spend it, since the money would eventually go toward those efforts when it’s repaid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state loans money from one fund to another all the time. But usually, the government is borrowing from special funds that are running a surplus so the loan doesn’t interfere with the fund’s main goal. Jason Sisney of the Legislative Analysts’ Office called the cap-and-trade proposal “unusual.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>‘The cap-and-trade auction revenues are a new source,” he explained. “ And the governor’s plan, as I understand it, is to borrow all of those monies, for at least the next year.” In fact, the $500 million Brown wants to borrow is about twice as much money as the auctions have raised so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the LAO warns that delaying the environmental spending may interfere with the goal of reducing greenhouse gases to 1990 levels by 2020. But Clegern insisted that won’t be a problem. “The goal here is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” he said. “We will do that. The proceeds give us an extra tool with which to further that effort.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under California’s plan, the cap-and-trade system only accounts for about 20 percent of those emissions reductions. The rest are supposed to come from energy efficiency projects, better fuel standards, and more renewable energy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ground has shifted since Brown announced his budget last week. \u003ca href=\"http://www.lao.ca.gov/reports/2013/bud/may-revise/overview-may-revise-051713.pdf\">The LAO says the governor’s tax estimates are too low\u003c/a>, and predicts the state will take in about $3 billion more than the administration is estimating. Environmental groups argue that extra revenue takes away the governor’s justification for delaying the cap-and-trade spending.\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F93709613\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Speaking to a group of scientists Thursday,\u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/california-budget/ci_23309303/enviromentalists-question-whether-gov-jerry-browns-actions-match\"> he warned, “it’s over” in five years\u003c/a>, unless the world steps up efforts to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions that are warming the atmosphere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_98022\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-98022\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/05/captradepic-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Craig Miller/KQED\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Craig Miller/KQED\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But while Brown is preaching action on climate change, his \u003ca href=\"http://www.californiareport.org/archive/R201305240850/b\">proposal\u003c/a> to shift revenue from California’s cap-and-trade auctions has environmental groups seeing red.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is the first state to try and limit greenhouse gas emissions \u003ca href=\"http://science.kqed.org/quest/audio/cap-and-trade-101-how-californias-carbon-market-works/\">through a cap-and-trade system\u003c/a>. The state Air Resources Board has held three carbon allowance auctions so far, generating nearly $260 million in state revenue. By law, that money is supposed to go toward programs aimed at reducing greenhouse gases and improving the air. A portion of the revenue is also supposed to be funneled to poorer, heavily-polluted communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Brown Administration says the state needs more time to design and develop these efforts, so the governor’s revised budget proposes taking all the revenue and loaning it to the general fund, which pays for broader government spending. That would essentially delay any spending on the emission-lowering programs for at least another year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

AB 32 has been on the books for seven years now. Of course there are programs that are ready.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taruc’s group is one of several that has been meeting with the state to put together a plan on how to spend the cap-and-trade revenue. The Greenlining Institute, another environmental justice group, was also in those meetings. Legal council Ryan Young said the suggestions include, “low-income solar programs, increased access to transit, affordable transit-oriented development, as well as community greening, like urban forestry.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_69484\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/07/03/gov-jerry-brown-asks-for-more-time-on-ca-pensions/jerry-brown-7/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-69484\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-69484 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/07/jerry-brown.jpg\" alt=\"jerry-brown\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gov. Jerry Brown (Max Whittaker/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Those suggestions are all listed in the state’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/auctionproceeds/final_investment_plan.pdf\">new cap-and-trade investment plan\u003c/a>. But Air Resources Board spokesman Dave Clegern said the blueprint needs improvement. “We have a variety of options for spending money. It’s a pot of money, so there are a lot of people who want a piece of it,” he said, adding, “we want to make sure that money goes where it will have the biggest impact on the programs and the goals of AB 32, which is greenhouse gas emission reduction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Technically, by loaning the cap-and-trade money to the general fund, the state would still be complying with the requirements on how to spend it, since the money would eventually go toward those efforts when it’s repaid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state loans money from one fund to another all the time. But usually, the government is borrowing from special funds that are running a surplus so the loan doesn’t interfere with the fund’s main goal. Jason Sisney of the Legislative Analysts’ Office called the cap-and-trade proposal “unusual.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>‘The cap-and-trade auction revenues are a new source,” he explained. “ And the governor’s plan, as I understand it, is to borrow all of those monies, for at least the next year.” In fact, the $500 million Brown wants to borrow is about twice as much money as the auctions have raised so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the LAO warns that delaying the environmental spending may interfere with the goal of reducing greenhouse gases to 1990 levels by 2020. But Clegern insisted that won’t be a problem. “The goal here is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” he said. “We will do that. The proceeds give us an extra tool with which to further that effort.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under California’s plan, the cap-and-trade system only accounts for about 20 percent of those emissions reductions. The rest are supposed to come from energy efficiency projects, better fuel standards, and more renewable energy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ground has shifted since Brown announced his budget last week. \u003ca href=\"http://www.lao.ca.gov/reports/2013/bud/may-revise/overview-may-revise-051713.pdf\">The LAO says the governor’s tax estimates are too low\u003c/a>, and predicts the state will take in about $3 billion more than the administration is estimating. Environmental groups argue that extra revenue takes away the governor’s justification for delaying the cap-and-trade spending.\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F93709613\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

(Credit KQED/Rachael Myrow)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“This is how bad things have gotten,” Barclay muses. “We are celebrating bathroom doors being replaced the same way that we would if we were opening up a new trail.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, Friends of Palomar set up a “donor agreement” with the parks department. The nonprofit donates $38,000 a year to the agency to cover Palomar’s operating deficit, along with a wish list of things to spend the rest of money they’ve raised on. Yes, there’s a list. The Friends would like to see cabins installed at the campgrounds, the Boucher Hill fire tower restored, and Doane Pond cleared of the cattail trying to transform it from a watering hole with fish into a meadow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’d love to have State Parks fix that problem,” Barclay says. “We’d love to give them money to fix that problem. Our hope is the kind of improvements that we want to make will help to generate revenue as well. Then maybe, one day, the park can actually be self-sufficient. It can pay for itself.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some folks have suggested some nonprofits might \u003cem>fully\u003c/em> adopt the parks the state can’t afford to run. But the math doesn’t add up in most of the more than 50 cases where a nonprofit is helping or fixing to help a state park stay open. Take Palomar. It costs the state roughly $220,000 every year—and that’s only counting direct expenses, not costs like regional management—or hundreds of thousands of dollars of deferred maintenance. Just the same, it has occurred to Barclay that Sacramento might continue to lean on Friends of Palomar for that extra $38,000 a year indefinitely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Is this a state park or is not?” Barclay asks. “If it’s a state park, then the state should support it. Do whatever it takes to keep it robust. Not limping along the way it has been over these several years. It’s been a long time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_97371\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/05/16/97365/view-from-fire-tower/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-97371\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-97371 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/05/View-from-Fire-Tower-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"Boucher Hill Fire Lookout offers a fabulous view of Aguanga Valley—as well as damage from the Poomacha Fire.(Credit KQED/Rachael Myrow)\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Boucher Hill Fire Lookout offers a fabulous view of Pauma Valley—as well as damage from the Poomacha Fire of 2007. (Credit KQED/Rachael Myrow)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, Friends of Palomar—and the state—are going to continue to rely on generous local donors like Bob Wilson of Rancho Santa Fe. He grew up in Escondido, looking up at that mountain every day, going up there with his parents to visit the famous \u003ca href=\"http://www.astro.caltech.edu/palomar/\">Palomar Observatory\u003c/a>, see snow in the wintertime, and in warmer weather, camp a mile high in the sky. Even if he did get the worst case of poison oak he ever suffered from Palomar Mountain. Fond memories like that one inspired Wilson to give Friends $30,000—its biggest donation—to help seed the group’s fundraising.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I hope that people will step up,” Wilson says. “Certainly, I’m of a mind to challenge them if they want to do that. I think that they’re out there and we have to make sure that they understand what the conditions are, what they could be, and what they should be doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue is likely to remain a live one for at least another year. Governor Jerry Brown’s latest budget proposal doesn’t include the kind of money it would take for the parks department to re-shoulder the load for Palomar and parks like it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After news broke of as much as $29 million dollars \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/01/04/california-state-parks-investigation-report-released/\">unreported\u003c/a> at State Park headquarters in Sacramento, a number of people who’d pledged money to Palomar pulled back. That money has since been set aside as a pool of matching grants for groups like Friends of Palomar, and the group is applying. That said, it doesn’t hurt local fundraising efforts to point out that every dollar donated to the nonprofit is directed to Palomar park, not some general operating fund in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Barclay and Wilson lament the way California’s infrastructure is fraying. “My concern is that now we’re in maintenance mode,” says Barclay. “We’re just trying to cobble the bridges back together, and cobble the streets back together. Why aren’t we opening more state parks? You know, we’re talking about just staying open. Why aren’t we expanding our territory?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_97488\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 240px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/05/16/97365/dylan/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-97488\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-97488 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/05/Dylan-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Dylan Unis, 4, of San Diego considers the first fish he's ever caught.

The 6th grade school camp (aka \u003ca href=\"http://www.palomarmountain.com/outdoorschool.html\">Palomar Outdoor School\u003c/a>) closed in 2011 because its operator, the San Diego Unified School District, can’t afford it any longer. “Those fond memories are not being generated now,” Barclay says. “That’s a facility that’s going to waste, and it’s an opportunity that’s going to waste as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, Friends of Palomar Mountain State Park is doing what it can to get the word out to Southern California: first, that there’s a state park up on the mountain; and second, public donations help it thrive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Funds for coverage of California state parks are provided by the S.

The nonprofit donates $38,000 a year to the agency to cover Palomar’s operating deficit, along with a wish list of things to spend the rest of money they’ve raised on. Yes, there’s a list. The Friends would like to see cabins installed at the campgrounds, the Boucher Hill fire tower restored, and Doane Pond cleared of the cattail trying to transform it from a watering hole with fish into a meadow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’d love to have State Parks fix that problem,” Barclay says. “We’d love to give them money to fix that problem. Our hope is the kind of improvements that we want to make will help to generate revenue as well. Then maybe, one day, the park can actually be self-sufficient. It can pay for itself.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some folks have suggested some nonprofits might \u003cem>fully\u003c/em> adopt the parks the state can’t afford to run. But the math doesn’t add up in most of the more than 50 cases where a nonprofit is helping or fixing to help a state park stay open. Take Palomar. It costs the state roughly $220,000 every year—and that’s only counting direct expenses, not costs like regional management—or hundreds of thousands of dollars of deferred maintenance. Just the same, it has occurred to Barclay that Sacramento might continue to lean on Friends of Palomar for that extra $38,000 a year indefinitely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Is this a state park or is not?” Barclay asks. “If it’s a state park, then the state should support it. Do whatever it takes to keep it robust. Not limping along the way it has been over these several years. It’s been a long time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_97371\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/05/16/97365/view-from-fire-tower/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-97371\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-97371 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/05/View-from-Fire-Tower-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"Boucher Hill Fire Lookout offers a fabulous view of Aguanga Valley—as well as damage from the Poomacha Fire.(Credit KQED/Rachael Myrow)\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Boucher Hill Fire Lookout offers a fabulous view of Pauma Valley—as well as damage from the Poomacha Fire of 2007. (Credit KQED/Rachael Myrow)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, Friends of Palomar—and the state—are going to continue to rely on generous local donors like Bob Wilson of Rancho Santa Fe. He grew up in Escondido, looking up at that mountain every day, going up there with his parents to visit the famous \u003ca href=\"http://www.astro.caltech.edu/palomar/\">Palomar Observatory\u003c/a>, see snow in the wintertime, and in warmer weather, camp a mile high in the sky. Even if he did get the worst case of poison oak he ever suffered from Palomar Mountain. Fond memories like that one inspired Wilson to give Friends $30,000—its biggest donation—to help seed the group’s fundraising.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I hope that people will step up,” Wilson says. “Certainly, I’m of a mind to challenge them if they want to do that. I think that they’re out there and we have to make sure that they understand what the conditions are, what they could be, and what they should be doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue is likely to remain a live one for at least another year. Governor Jerry Brown’s latest budget proposal doesn’t include the kind of money it would take for the parks department to re-shoulder the load for Palomar and parks like it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After news broke of as much as $29 million dollars \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/01/04/california-state-parks-investigation-report-released/\">unreported\u003c/a> at State Park headquarters in Sacramento, a number of people who’d pledged money to Palomar pulled back. That money has since been set aside as a pool of matching grants for groups like Friends of Palomar, and the group is applying. That said, it doesn’t hurt local fundraising efforts to point out that every dollar donated to the nonprofit is directed to Palomar park, not some general operating fund in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Barclay and Wilson lament the way California’s infrastructure is fraying. “My concern is that now we’re in maintenance mode,” says Barclay. “We’re just trying to cobble the bridges back together, and cobble the streets back together. Why aren’t we opening more state parks? You know, we’re talking about just staying open. Why aren’t we expanding our territory?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_97488\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 240px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/05/16/97365/dylan/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-97488\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-97488 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/05/Dylan-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Dylan Unis, 4, of San Diego considers the first fish he's ever caught.

(Credit: KQED/Rachael Myrow)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>It’s not just an issue with the Department of Parks and Recreation. The 6th grade school camp (aka \u003ca href=\"http://www.palomarmountain.com/outdoorschool.html\">Palomar Outdoor School\u003c/a>) closed in 2011 because its operator, the San Diego Unified School District, can’t afford it any longer. “Those fond memories are not being generated now,” Barclay says. “That’s a facility that’s going to waste, and it’s an opportunity that’s going to waste as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, Friends of Palomar Mountain State Park is doing what it can to get the word out to Southern California: first, that there’s a state park up on the mountain; and second, public donations help it thrive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Funds for coverage of California state parks are provided by the S.

And Brown himself has touted the potential uses of those funds in furthering the goals of California's central climate strategy under the 2006 law known as AB32. But the administration now says many of those carbon-cutting programs aren't ready for prime time, and in the meantime the funds can help balance the state budget.

The third auction is scheduled for Thursday of this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the program is phased in to include more types of facilities, it has the potential to raise billions in fees, some of which go back to utilities to offset potential hikes in electric rates caused by the regulation. The rest was earmarked to further the state's carbon reduction goals, which include a return to 1990 emission levels by 2020. Last year, Brown signed SB535, designed to ensure that carbon fees weren't waylaid for unrelated purposes. What a difference a year makes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n",

And Brown himself has touted the potential uses of those funds in furthering the goals of California's central climate strategy under the 2006 law known as AB32. But the administration now says many of those carbon-cutting programs aren't ready for prime time, and in the meantime the funds can help balance the state budget. According to the governor's staff, the diversion is a \"loan\" that will be paid back with interest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The third auction is scheduled for Thursday of this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the program is phased in to include more types of facilities, it has the potential to raise billions in fees, some of which go back to utilities to offset potential hikes in electric rates caused by the regulation. The rest was earmarked to further the state's carbon reduction goals, which include a return to 1990 emission levels by 2020. Last year, Brown signed SB535, designed to ensure that carbon fees weren't waylaid for unrelated purposes.
