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.",

Their to-do list includes a $4.2 billion climate bond, an ambitious proposal to borrow money before they need it to prepare for the types of natural disasters that have plagued the state. The disasters are so destructive they forced the nation’s largest utility, Pacific Gas & Electric, to file for bankruptcy last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Component-root-0-2-47 Component-p-0-2-40\">The borrowing proposal is one of dozens of holdover bills from last year that are still alive in 2020 but must pass at least one legislative chamber by the end of January to have a chance at becoming law. The logjam is complicated by an accelerated election cycle that puts many lawmakers on primary election ballots in March instead of June, making it less likely for politically risky proposals to advance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Component-root-0-2-47 Component-p-0-2-40\">“We have kind of a perfect storm,” said veteran Democratic political consultant Andrew Acosta.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Component-root-0-2-47 Component-p-0-2-40\">Catastrophic wildfires have destroyed thousands of homes, generating billions of dollars in insurance claims and costing taxpayers billions more in cleanup costs. The bulk of the borrowing proposal, detailed in similar efforts authored by Democrat Ben Allen in the Senate and Democrat Eduardo Garcia in the Assembly, would go toward reducing wildfire risk throughout the state. It also includes money to protect farmland from climate change, bolster the state’s scarce water sources and help coastal communities plan for sea level rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Component-root-0-2-47 Component-p-0-2-40\">The $4.2 billion price tag could grow as lawmakers discuss adding more projects for things like buying solar batteries and fuel cells to keep the lights on at nursing homes and other vulnerable sites when utility companies preemptively shut off electricity to prevent wildfires during windy conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Component-root-0-2-47 Component-p-0-2-40\">“We’ve been really good about investing in suppression — in other words, firefighters and helicopters,” said Democratic Sen.

Voters could be weary of more bonds because the state has borrowed so much money in recent years that officials are having trouble spending it all. Of the $150 billion in borrowing authorized by voters in recent years, more than $34 billion has yet to be spent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Component-root-0-2-47 Component-p-0-2-40\">“We cannot spend money until projects are ready,” state Treasurer Fiona Ma said. “Sometimes it takes 10-plus years to spend money that is authorized in a bond act.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Component-root-0-2-47 Component-p-0-2-40\">Plus, voters will be asked in March to borrow another $15 billion to build more public schools, increasing the chances of spending fatigue — especially as California’s economy continues to grow, producing record budget surpluses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Component-root-0-2-47 Component-p-0-2-40\">Supporters in the Legislature, including Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins, recognize the potential peril of asking the public to add to the state’s debt.

He also wants to temporarily block a state law that requires utilities to buy more expensive solar and wind power and upgrade their equipment to make it less likely to spark wildfires during windstorms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Component-root-0-2-47 Component-p-0-2-40\">Gallagher questioned whether borrowing is the best practice “considering the amount of debt we have right now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Component-root-0-2-47 Component-p-0-2-40\">“There are existing dollars in government that I think we could just better target,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Component-root-0-2-47 Component-p-0-2-40\">Other proposals in legislative limbo include a controversial bill by Sen.

"content": "\u003cp>California has gone through several difficult fire seasons in recent years. Now, some cities are investing in unconventional fire prevention methods, including goats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anaheim, a city southeast of Los Angeles, has recently re-upped its contract with the company Environmental Land Management to keep goats grazing on city hillsides nearly year-round.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The goats are stationed in places like Deer Canyon Park, a nature preserve with more than a hundred acres of steep hills. Beginning in July, roughly 400 goats worked through the park, eating invasive grasses and dried brush.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company’s operations manager Johnny Gonzales says that Deer Canyon, with its peaks and valleys, is just the right kind of place to use goats for fire prevention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the topography that poses challenges during these wildfire events,” Gonzales says. “And we can go ahead and reduce the fuel loads and take out the invasive plants, and establish the native plants on these banks; you’re re-establishing the ecology.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzales says that demand for wildfire prevention goats has soared in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not an underestimation to say that we got over 100 calls a month from private individuals with smaller parcels, little lots or things from an acre, two acres requesting the goats,” Gonzales says. “And unfortunately, as a commercial herd, I can’t take on all these private lots.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Nature’s weed wacker\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Anaheim’s Fire Marshall Allen Hogue says the steepness of the hills in parts of the city makes the goats invaluable for landscape management.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would be almost impossible for a human to sit there or walk up and down with a weed whacker or a weed eater, so that’s why we use the goats,” Hogue says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What makes the goats important isn’t just their ability to climb steep hillsides. According to Hogue and Gonzales, the animals eat invasive plants and grasses while only minimally grazing on native plants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.pnas.org/content/116/47/23594.short\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">study \u003c/a>from the University of Massachusetts Amherst found that these alien grasses are increasing the frequency of wildfires because of how easily they burn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you throw a bunch of matches into a forest, some small percentage of them might actually start a fire,” says Bethany Bradley, professor of environmental conservation at UMass Amherst and co-author of the study, “but if you throw a bunch of matches into a big hay pile, there’s a good chance that many of those will catch fire.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The study found that these alien grasses double or triple the likelihood of a fire occurring if they’re present.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While this particular study didn’t measure the change in invasive plant abundance, researchers have found that climate change has made it easier for these plants to spread. These flammable grasses outgrow native plants that are naturally more fire-resistant, which adds potential fuel to fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A year-round problem\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Even a particularly rainy year doesn’t help slow down a fire season. Bradley says that water helps these invasive plants grow year after year. There’s no easy fix for breaking the invasive plant cycle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So this is one of the biggest challenges with invasive species,” Bradley says. “Like any home gardener knows that you can’t just go out and weed once, declare victory and leave, right?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is where goats can play a role, according to Bradley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Goats are really good at eating stuff, right? The challenge with them though, is that you can’t just do it once. They need to go back time and time again in order to keep controlling that biomass,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, not all researchers are convinced. Some like Jon Keeley from the U.S. Geological Survey think that using goats alone as fire prevention isn’t enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the things that concerns some people is there is this feeling oftentimes that if you’re using goats to graze these invasive grasses, you’re somehow making the environment safer for communities and for homes,” Keeley says. “And that’s debatable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='wildfires' label='Related Coverage']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says that goats will eat grasses and keep the invasive plants down, but he says that the goats don’t go everywhere they’re needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The problem is those grasses are going to spread far beyond areas where you would graze the goats,” Keeley says. “These grasses are all over the Santa Monica Mountains, and so you’re not likely to impact very many areas by goat grazing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keeley says that grazing also isn’t enough since homes are most commonly lit aflame because of burning embers. Clearing out grasses around a house is useful, but “those embers are going to be blown over these areas that were grazed the goats,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Living in fire-prone areas\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Keeley says wildfires are a people problem. As the state continues to grow in population and the cost of housing rises dramatically, residents are pushed to live in unsafe areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve been forced to move out into landscapes that are very hazardous, and this almost certainly accounts for why these fires have become more destructive in the last couple of decades,” Keeley says. “And the problem is not likely to go away.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While California continues to combat wildfires, the city of Anaheim says the goats are a key part of its fire prevention plans, but they’re just one piece of a large puzzle.

Now, some cities are investing in unconventional fire prevention methods, including goats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anaheim, a city southeast of Los Angeles, has recently re-upped its contract with the company Environmental Land Management to keep goats grazing on city hillsides nearly year-round.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The goats are stationed in places like Deer Canyon Park, a nature preserve with more than a hundred acres of steep hills. Beginning in July, roughly 400 goats worked through the park, eating invasive grasses and dried brush.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company’s operations manager Johnny Gonzales says that Deer Canyon, with its peaks and valleys, is just the right kind of place to use goats for fire prevention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the topography that poses challenges during these wildfire events,” Gonzales says. “And we can go ahead and reduce the fuel loads and take out the invasive plants, and establish the native plants on these banks; you’re re-establishing the ecology.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzales says that demand for wildfire prevention goats has soared in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not an underestimation to say that we got over 100 calls a month from private individuals with smaller parcels, little lots or things from an acre, two acres requesting the goats,” Gonzales says. “And unfortunately, as a commercial herd, I can’t take on all these private lots.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Nature’s weed wacker\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Anaheim’s Fire Marshall Allen Hogue says the steepness of the hills in parts of the city makes the goats invaluable for landscape management.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would be almost impossible for a human to sit there or walk up and down with a weed whacker or a weed eater, so that’s why we use the goats,” Hogue says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What makes the goats important isn’t just their ability to climb steep hillsides. According to Hogue and Gonzales, the animals eat invasive plants and grasses while only minimally grazing on native plants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.pnas.org/content/116/47/23594.short\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">study \u003c/a>from the University of Massachusetts Amherst found that these alien grasses are increasing the frequency of wildfires because of how easily they burn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you throw a bunch of matches into a forest, some small percentage of them might actually start a fire,” says Bethany Bradley, professor of environmental conservation at UMass Amherst and co-author of the study, “but if you throw a bunch of matches into a big hay pile, there’s a good chance that many of those will catch fire.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The study found that these alien grasses double or triple the likelihood of a fire occurring if they’re present.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While this particular study didn’t measure the change in invasive plant abundance, researchers have found that climate change has made it easier for these plants to spread. These flammable grasses outgrow native plants that are naturally more fire-resistant, which adds potential fuel to fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A year-round problem\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Even a particularly rainy year doesn’t help slow down a fire season. Bradley says that water helps these invasive plants grow year after year. There’s no easy fix for breaking the invasive plant cycle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So this is one of the biggest challenges with invasive species,” Bradley says. “Like any home gardener knows that you can’t just go out and weed once, declare victory and leave, right?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is where goats can play a role, according to Bradley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Goats are really good at eating stuff, right? The challenge with them though, is that you can’t just do it once. They need to go back time and time again in order to keep controlling that biomass,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, not all researchers are convinced. Some like Jon Keeley from the U.S. Geological Survey think that using goats alone as fire prevention isn’t enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the things that concerns some people is there is this feeling oftentimes that if you’re using goats to graze these invasive grasses, you’re somehow making the environment safer for communities and for homes,” Keeley says. “And that’s debatable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Clearing out grasses around a house is useful, but “those embers are going to be blown over these areas that were grazed the goats,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Living in fire-prone areas\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Keeley says wildfires are a people problem. As the state continues to grow in population and the cost of housing rises dramatically, residents are pushed to live in unsafe areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve been forced to move out into landscapes that are very hazardous, and this almost certainly accounts for why these fires have become more destructive in the last couple of decades,” Keeley says. “And the problem is not likely to go away.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While California continues to combat wildfires, the city of Anaheim says the goats are a key part of its fire prevention plans, but they’re just one piece of a large puzzle.

You know you’re covered now, but I might have to look for a new policy next year yet again.” Michitsch says he’s never made a claim on his insurance and never had fire damage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thousands of homeowners like Michitsch have lost their insurance policies in the last few years as insurers pull out of areas that are at risk of fire damage or stop insuring homes altogether. They’ve been forced to scramble to find coverage from regular insurance providers or to turn as a last resort to a government sanctioned plan that at the moment only provides fire coverage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Kent Michitsch']‘It’s constant worry and frustration. You know you’re covered now, but I might have to look for a new policy next year yet again.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Farm, the largest in the state, and Allstate and other insurers declined to renew roughly 350,000 policies in areas at high risk for wildfires since 2015 the California Department of Insurance said back in August, and the department has gotten “record numbers” of requests this year from insurers to increase the rates they charge property owners. The data also shows 33,000 policies were not renewed by insurers in zip codes affected by the major wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the insurance industry says the California property insurance market is resilient, state lawmakers and officials have had to scramble to keep the market from grinding to a halt from the unexpected additional risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California legislature passed a law earlier this year giving the Department of Insurance emergency powers to keep policies in effect for those in fire-prone areas. This month California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara put a one-year moratorium on non-renewals, in hopes that lawmakers, insurance companies and other stakeholders can reach a more substantial solution for the roughly 1 million homeowners in zip codes adjacent to previous wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='wildfires' label='More Coverage.']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This wildfire insurance crisis has been years in the making, but it is an emergency we must deal with now if we are going to keep the California dream of home ownership from becoming the California nightmare, as an increasing number of homeowners struggle to find coverage,” Lara said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fires of 2017 and 2018 caused a combined $25.3 billion in damages according to the California Department of Insurance. That’s exponentially higher than the previous wildfires in 2015 and 2008, which caused $1.1 billion and $719 million in damages, respectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The insurance industry has yet to release an estimate of damages from this year’s wildfire season, but the costs are expected to be high. The most significant wildfire this year was the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/kincade-fire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kincade fire\u003c/a>, which is started October 23 and has burned 78,000 acres in Sonoma county. It destroyed 374 buildings and damaged another 60, according to the California Department of Forestry & Fire Protection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The wildfires in California will likely make it more difficult for California homeowners to buy insurance,” Stu Ryland, senior vice president of the Pacific Region at Sedgwick, an insurance claims management company. “Premiums are likely to go up, particularly in areas that are prone to wildfires and in some cases, it may be difficult for consumers to find an insurer willing to write their insurance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While some insurers are pulling out and others are reconsidering how they price property insurance, it is still available in one form or another to every homeowner, according to the Insurance Information Institute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, those not insurable by regular insurance providers are having to turn to what’s known as the California FAIR Plan, which is a government-sanctioned association of insurers who pool together to cover the highest risk properties. FAIR Plan insurance currently only covers $1.5 million in damages, although Lara has ordered that starting in April 2020 it will cover $3 million in damages. Currently the FAIR Plan only covers fire, not other forms of risk, but California regulators have announced that FAIR Plan insurers can start doing comprehensive coverage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cfpnet.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">California FAIR Plan Association\u003c/a> sued to block those changes, arguing Lara’s order is illegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Karl Susman, owner of Susman Insurance Agency in Los Angeles, says the average annual premium on a homeowner policy plus FAIR to cover fire now costs around $2,500 a year, which is three times higher than it was three years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These wildfires are not sustainable for these companies. They aren’t going to go bankrupt but they are just going to stop writing policies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Karl Susman']‘I haven’t seen anything like this in the 28 years I’ve been doing this.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Susman said he worries that without a longer-term solution the California insurance market will repeat the experience after the 1994 California Northridge earthquake, which caused many insurance carriers to stop offering earthquake insurance. He’s already seen insurance companies limiting their risk to certain zip codes as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I haven’t seen anything like this in the 28 years I’ve been doing this,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fortunately, those who still do have insurance have been able to start rebuilding their lives after the fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maggie and Dan London of Santa Rosa lost their home in the massive and fatal \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/tubbs-fire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tubbs fire of 2017\u003c/a>. They worked quickly after the fire, filing a claim and reaching out to their contractor that same day. But it took them two years to rebuild and move back in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many who tried to rebuild after the fire, they ran into obstacles — higher costs for labor and materials and ongoing talks with their insurer. All the same, Dan London feels his insurance company has done a fair job. And while they bought their home in 1979, he has not seen a sharp jump in insurance costs over time. The cost to insure their new home is slightly more, but Dan felt it reflects the increased value of the property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was expecting something triple, but it’s not at all,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

That’s exponentially higher than the previous wildfires in 2015 and 2008, which caused $1.1 billion and $719 million in damages, respectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The insurance industry has yet to release an estimate of damages from this year’s wildfire season, but the costs are expected to be high. The most significant wildfire this year was the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/kincade-fire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kincade fire\u003c/a>, which is started October 23 and has burned 78,000 acres in Sonoma county. It destroyed 374 buildings and damaged another 60, according to the California Department of Forestry & Fire Protection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The wildfires in California will likely make it more difficult for California homeowners to buy insurance,” Stu Ryland, senior vice president of the Pacific Region at Sedgwick, an insurance claims management company. “Premiums are likely to go up, particularly in areas that are prone to wildfires and in some cases, it may be difficult for consumers to find an insurer willing to write their insurance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While some insurers are pulling out and others are reconsidering how they price property insurance, it is still available in one form or another to every homeowner, according to the Insurance Information Institute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, those not insurable by regular insurance providers are having to turn to what’s known as the California FAIR Plan, which is a government-sanctioned association of insurers who pool together to cover the highest risk properties. FAIR Plan insurance currently only covers $1.5 million in damages, although Lara has ordered that starting in April 2020 it will cover $3 million in damages. Currently the FAIR Plan only covers fire, not other forms of risk, but California regulators have announced that FAIR Plan insurers can start doing comprehensive coverage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cfpnet.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">California FAIR Plan Association\u003c/a> sued to block those changes, arguing Lara’s order is illegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Karl Susman, owner of Susman Insurance Agency in Los Angeles, says the average annual premium on a homeowner policy plus FAIR to cover fire now costs around $2,500 a year, which is three times higher than it was three years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These wildfires are not sustainable for these companies. They aren’t going to go bankrupt but they are just going to stop writing policies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He’s already seen insurance companies limiting their risk to certain zip codes as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I haven’t seen anything like this in the 28 years I’ve been doing this,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fortunately, those who still do have insurance have been able to start rebuilding their lives after the fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maggie and Dan London of Santa Rosa lost their home in the massive and fatal \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/tubbs-fire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tubbs fire of 2017\u003c/a>. They worked quickly after the fire, filing a claim and reaching out to their contractor that same day.

All the same, Dan London feels his insurance company has done a fair job. And while they bought their home in 1979, he has not seen a sharp jump in insurance costs over time.
