His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

The blaze has burned more than 77,000 acres and destroyed more than 300 structures in Sonoma County. On Wednesday, evacuation orders began being lifted for parts of the county, allowing thousands to return to their homes in Santa Rosa, Windsor and other communities after spending several days in evacuation centers in Petaluma and Santa Rosa. Some evacuees are returning to homes that have been burned or damaged in the fire or are struggling with lost income or business from not only the fire but also power outages imposed by PG&E that shut off the lights beginning Saturday night for nearly 100,000 customers in Sonoma County alone.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Martha Bodell, Sonoma County business owner \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Terri Hardesty, Kincade Fire evacuee\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>House Democrats Pass Resolution on Impeachment Inquiry\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">On Thursday, House Democrats passed a resolution laying out the rules and procedures to guide their impeachment investigation into President Trump. The measure will also establish due process rights for the White House and marks a new public phase of the probe, which stems from a whistleblower’s complaint that Trump uged Ukraine’s president to open an investigation into Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, during a call in late July. Meanwhile, a decorated Army officer and Ukraine expert in the White House, Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, testified on Capitol Hill.

"content": "\u003cp>On a recent day at an expansive National Guard airfield in Los Alamitos, local fire officials put on display what $4.5 million can buy: planes crammed with high-definition cameras, radar and infrared equipment that peers through smoke. This eye in the sky can provide commanders on the ground with a broad picture of a wildfire in its infancy, the most critical time for decision-making.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plane — operating at 10,000 feet, out of signal range — beams the information to a smaller aircraft below, which relays it to a UC San Diego research team running a lab known as \u003ca href=\"https://wifire.ucsd.edu/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WIFIRE\u003c/a>. The lab’s supercomputer spits out mapping and heat-detection data within minutes, and it generates a model of how the fire might spread based on a number of factors — the holy grail for fire bosses. Eventually, such information will go to a wildfire warning center created under a new state law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"power-shutoffs\" label=\"Pacific Gas and Electric Power Shutoffs\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The planes are part of a pilot program, an aspect of California’s emphasis on technology to respond to wildfire.

Gavin Newsom announced on Tuesday — and PG&E CEO Bill Johnson confirmed — that the utility will grant credits to the 728,980 customers who were cut off from electricity during the wide-reaching public safety power shutoff from Oct. 9 through Oct. 12. Newsom had suggested earlier this month that PG&E grant a $100 rebate to every residential customer whose lights were turned out and $250 to every business blacked out. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson said at a media briefing Tuesday evening that PG&E was going along with Newsom’s request after considering some of the hardships it imposed on customers — specifically, the collapse of the company’s website and the woeful understaffing of its call centers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11783884 label='Share Your Experience']“Some of the things we did in that didn’t go very well — our website and all those issues — and we thought this was probably a pretty good idea to show a little recognition to our customers of some of those things that didn’t go right, ” Johnson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E says the credits will show up on customers’ next bill. Our back-of-the-envelope estimate of how much the credits will cost the company: about $90 million, based on a guess that 85% of customers affected Oct. 9-12 were residential and 15% were businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next fight over the shutoffs and their impact on customers: Whether PG&E and the other big utilities should be allowed to charge people for periods when their power has been turned off. Newsom and some state legislators have called for a change in state law to prohibit such charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Credit details:\u003c/em> Those who lost power in the later PG&E power shutoffs will not be eligible for credits related to those events, the company says, because: 1) it says it’s cured its communications difficulties and 2) regulators have approved the shutoffs as a means to head off wildfires. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are the details on the credits: \u003ca href=\"https://www.pgecurrents.com/2019/10/29/pge-statement-on-oct-9-public-safety-power-shutoff-customer-bill-credit/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PG&E Statement on Oct. 9 Public Safety Power Shutoff Customer Bill Credit\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=“medium” align=\"right\" citation=\"Gov.

CEO Bill Johnson said a PG&E worker driving a PG&E vehicle had been intentionally run off the road “by an angry motorist.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Company officials have warned that some out-of-state workers might refuse to come to California with the level of PG&E-directed anger running so high. Johnson, who himself is a recent transplant from Tennessee, doubled down on that message.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have hundreds of visitors here helping us from other parts of the country, from the South, the East, the Midwest and here in the West” he said. “What impression do we want to give these visiting workers of California?

It will also take steps to ensure that the utilities do not charge customers for periods when their power has been turned off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CPUC says the inquiry will look into whether utilities — and especially PG&E – have complied with state regulations, raising the possibility the companies may face fines or other penalties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom applauded the CPUC probe — and said he’s hoping the commission curbs the extensive use of blackouts to manage the state’s wildfire threat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to see the CPUC launch a total reform of power shutoff rules and regulations,” Newsom said in a statement. “Utilities must be held accountable and be aggressively penalized for their overreliance on PSPS, and the product of this investigation must be new rules and regulations to do that. I also want to see customers not charged for PSPS. It seems obvious, but under the current rules, utilities can do just that. It’s unacceptable and must be remedied.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>PG&E’s Report on the Big Blackout Early in October\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Under state regulations, utilities that impose a public safety power shutoff are required to report on the event within 10 days of . the incident. The report must include details like how the decision to shut off power was made and give specifics about exactly what electric circuits were turned off, how many customers were affected and how the blackout was communicated to customers and government agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CPUC posted \u003ca href=\"https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6531752/PGE-Public-Safety-Power-Shutoff-Oct-9-12-Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PG&E’s 230-page report\u003c/a> on the Oct. 9-12 outage earlier this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E called the scale of the event — which was significantly exceeded by last Saturday’s blackouts — “unsustainable in the long term.” But in the next breath, the company defended the massive shutoff as “the right decision given the large-scale weather event and the damage to PG&E’s electric system that unfolded across our service area.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company also acknowledged its performance had been less than perfect when it came to communications: “PG&E acknowledges falling short in several areas of execution, which is why PG&E is committed to closing identified gaps quickly. First and foremost, PG&E has reinforced its website and redistributed staffing in its call centers to handle a much higher volume for future events.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",
