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 rest was earmarked to further the state's carbon reduction goals, which include a return to 1990 emission levels by 2020.

Phillips, state director for the Sierra Club, is one of a chorus of voices from the environmental community howling over Brown's \u003ca title=\"Capitol Weekly - post\" href=\"http://www.capitolweekly.net/article.php?_c=11fjrf8gisrl5pl&xid=11fjqnp52905zjj&done=.11fjrlyk06wf72h\">decision to divert revenue from the state's cap-and-trade program\u003c/a> into the general fund -- temporarily, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cash rolling in from sales of carbon pollution permits to industry will amount to something on the order of $500 million in this first year of the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And what the governor has decided to do is not use that money to get us closer to where we need to be in our greenhouse gas reduction targets,\" Phillips said in a phone interview. \"And I think that's wrong.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under state law, \u003ca title=\"Quest - cap & trade\" href=\"http://science.kqed.org/quest/audio/cap-and-trade-101-how-californias-carbon-market-works/\">cap-and-trade\u003c/a> proceeds are supposed to go toward programs that help reduce the state's carbon footprint. 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 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.

It prompted the evacuation of a Thousand Oaks neighborhood and the campus of California State University, Channel Islands. At least a half-dozen RVs burned in a parking area enclosed by brushy hills. Embers scattered along ridges and into neighborhoods abutting the brush lands and smoke streamed for miles. More than 200 firefighters were aided by water- and fire retardant-dropping aircraft.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A 12-acre grass fire in Riverside County was 50 percent contained after destroying two homes and damaging two others in the Jurupa Valley area. Also burned were five outbuildings, 10 vehicles and a boat. An elementary school and a gasoline station were evacuated. Nearly 60 firefighters were at the scene.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A 4-square-mile Riverside County fire that began Wednesday north of Banning was 40 percent contained after destroying one home. Nearly 700 firefighters and aircraft worked the fire in the foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains. Most of the area was being mopped up but active flames remained on the north flank. Two firefighters received minor injuries.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A fire north of Butte Meadows in Tehama County spread to 2,000 acres of brush and timber. It was 10 percent contained and did not threaten any homes. Nearly 500 firefighters were battling flames.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A 110-acre fire in Glenn County was 5 percent contained. There were nearly 150 firefighters at the Elk Creek site but the steep terrain made it hard to reach.\u003cbr>\nA 55-acre wildfire in Butte County was 50 percent contained and holding.
