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.",

"title": "5 Things to Know About California’s New Wildfire Plan",
"headTitle": "KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>You will be forgiven for having the impression that California lawmakers have been talking about comprehensive wildfire \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/environment/2019/06/newsoms-new-proposals-on-wildfire-costs-walk-a-political-tightrope/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">legislation\u003c/a> forever, when it has only been days since the new fire bill ricocheted from the Assembly to the Senate and back again. Gov. Gavin Newsom signed it today, less than a week after the first elected official cleared his throat to introduce the package.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It didn’t set a legislative land-speed record, of course, but some lawmakers did complain that they lacked sufficient time to read and digest such a complex document. What’s the rush? Where to begin?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Isn’t this just a bailout for California’s big utilities?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Kinda. One way to look at it is that the financial health of ratepayers, wildfire victims and utilities are intertwined. The first two groups need utility companies to maintain a beating heart in order to stave off higher electricity bills or to prevent being left high and dry after a utility-caused fire. So there’s some mutual self-interest at work here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law sets a June 30, 2020 deadline for the state’s largest utility—Pacific Gas & Electric—to emerge from bankruptcy, and requires that it settle with victims from 2017-2018 fires it caused before it can participate in other aspects of the state plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That timeframe was meant for an audience of one: Dennis Montali, the San Francisco judge presiding over PG&E’s bankruptcy case. Bankruptcy proceedings are notoriously thorny and can drag on for years. Lawmakers are hoping that the judge will see the law as providing the possibility of resolution and a way forward for the state’s largest utility—and thus accelerate the legal process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other unseen but loudly heard players here are the ratings agencies, which threatened to downgrade the credit scores for Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric. That would make it much more expensive for those companies to borrow money, a cost they would pass on to their customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, as much as some legislators may have wanted to roundly punish bad actors among California’s electricity providers, they were mindful that even a slap on the wrist to utilities could have the unintended impact of a punch in the nose to consumers.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What about the wildfire victims’ fund? How does that work?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Actually the companies can choose between two proposed options. In either case, fire victims are compensated by the utilities, via the fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One is called a liquidity fund, and it establishes a $10.5 billion line of credit for utilities to draw from to cover fire costs that exceed their insurance coverage. If the company is later found to have improperly operated its equipment, it must pay back the amount it took out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second option is called an insurance fund. The fund will hold at least $21 billion, with half coming from the utilities and half from ratepayers from an existing state fund. (Ratepayers have been kicking in $2.50 a month for the fund, an amount that was set to expire.) Utilities will pay into the insurance fund according to a rough calculation of their liability and safety history: PG&E will be on the hook for about 60%, Southern California Edison about 30% and San Diego Gas and Electric, which has a comparatively better safety record, will be responsible for about 4%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E is barred from participating in either fund until it emerges from bankruptcy and all companies must comply with other requirements such as linking executive compensation to their firm’s safety record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Utility companies have about two weeks to declare which fund they want to be part of, and the big three must agree. The state assumes they will select the insurance fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Will this pot of money help wildfire victims?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In theory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without question, $21 billion is a lot of money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But keep in mind that, given the ever-increasing frequency, size, intensity, and destructiveness of fires in California, the price tag to make victims whole is likewise exploding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consider, too, that PG&E alone estimates its liability for the most recent fires is in the neighborhood of $30 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, it’s an open question how long even a fund as large as that will remain intact.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What does any of this have to do with preventing or containing fires?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Yes, it seems as if there’s a lot about liability and bankruptcy but not much that speaks to the business of preventing or putting out wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law requires the three big investor-owned companies to spend $5 billion to fireproof their equipment. They had already pledged to spend $3 billion in that effort, and that work can have a real impact. That’s things like insulating transmission and distribution lines, clearing trees and brush around equipment, replacing wooden power poles with steel or composite ones and placing protective covering over some infrastructure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So that’s a big deal because so-called utility hardening projects can make it less likely that animals, wind, or tree limbs will interfere with power equipment and spark fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, for the first time, the state is requiring utilities obtain a safety certification, setting a standard for safe and responsible operation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, lawmakers have indicated they intend to come back with a handful of other bills that more specifically respond to the underlying fire issues of vegetation and tree clearance, community fire safety, and other more-direct fire causes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And legislators added a clever caveat: Even though utilities regularly pass on the actual cost of capital expenditures and 11% or more to their customers, this law specifically states that the companies may NOT turn a profit from spending $5 billion on fire mitigation projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='news_11760156,news_11760106,forum_2010101871786' label='RELATED STORIES']\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What else?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>About that safety certification…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some critics warn that the certificate is a “get out of jail free card” for utilities. It sets a standard for a “prudent operator” and affords a presumption that if a company received the rating, its operations are generally safe and prudent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You may have heard the awkward term “inverse condemnation,” which means that California utilities are held responsible if their equipment causes a fire, even if they did not act negligently. That rule is in the state constitution and no one in Sacramento wants to take that on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However…utilities get a little relief in the new law. Before this week, electric utilities blamed for fires had to show that they managed their system properly and safely.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>You will be forgiven for having the impression that California lawmakers have been talking about comprehensive wildfire \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/environment/2019/06/newsoms-new-proposals-on-wildfire-costs-walk-a-political-tightrope/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">legislation\u003c/a> forever, when it has only been days since the new fire bill ricocheted from the Assembly to the Senate and back again. Gov. Gavin Newsom signed it today, less than a week after the first elected official cleared his throat to introduce the package.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It didn’t set a legislative land-speed record, of course, but some lawmakers did complain that they lacked sufficient time to read and digest such a complex document. What’s the rush? Where to begin?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Isn’t this just a bailout for California’s big utilities?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Kinda. One way to look at it is that the financial health of ratepayers, wildfire victims and utilities are intertwined. The first two groups need utility companies to maintain a beating heart in order to stave off higher electricity bills or to prevent being left high and dry after a utility-caused fire. So there’s some mutual self-interest at work here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law sets a June 30, 2020 deadline for the state’s largest utility—Pacific Gas & Electric—to emerge from bankruptcy, and requires that it settle with victims from 2017-2018 fires it caused before it can participate in other aspects of the state plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That timeframe was meant for an audience of one: Dennis Montali, the San Francisco judge presiding over PG&E’s bankruptcy case. Bankruptcy proceedings are notoriously thorny and can drag on for years. Lawmakers are hoping that the judge will see the law as providing the possibility of resolution and a way forward for the state’s largest utility—and thus accelerate the legal process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other unseen but loudly heard players here are the ratings agencies, which threatened to downgrade the credit scores for Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric. That would make it much more expensive for those companies to borrow money, a cost they would pass on to their customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, as much as some legislators may have wanted to roundly punish bad actors among California’s electricity providers, they were mindful that even a slap on the wrist to utilities could have the unintended impact of a punch in the nose to consumers.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What about the wildfire victims’ fund? How does that work?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Actually the companies can choose between two proposed options. In either case, fire victims are compensated by the utilities, via the fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One is called a liquidity fund, and it establishes a $10.5 billion line of credit for utilities to draw from to cover fire costs that exceed their insurance coverage. If the company is later found to have improperly operated its equipment, it must pay back the amount it took out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second option is called an insurance fund. The fund will hold at least $21 billion, with half coming from the utilities and half from ratepayers from an existing state fund. (Ratepayers have been kicking in $2.50 a month for the fund, an amount that was set to expire.) Utilities will pay into the insurance fund according to a rough calculation of their liability and safety history: PG&E will be on the hook for about 60%, Southern California Edison about 30% and San Diego Gas and Electric, which has a comparatively better safety record, will be responsible for about 4%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E is barred from participating in either fund until it emerges from bankruptcy and all companies must comply with other requirements such as linking executive compensation to their firm’s safety record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Utility companies have about two weeks to declare which fund they want to be part of, and the big three must agree. The state assumes they will select the insurance fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Will this pot of money help wildfire victims?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In theory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without question, $21 billion is a lot of money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But keep in mind that, given the ever-increasing frequency, size, intensity, and destructiveness of fires in California, the price tag to make victims whole is likewise exploding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consider, too, that PG&E alone estimates its liability for the most recent fires is in the neighborhood of $30 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, it’s an open question how long even a fund as large as that will remain intact.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What does any of this have to do with preventing or containing fires?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Yes, it seems as if there’s a lot about liability and bankruptcy but not much that speaks to the business of preventing or putting out wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law requires the three big investor-owned companies to spend $5 billion to fireproof their equipment. They had already pledged to spend $3 billion in that effort, and that work can have a real impact. That’s things like insulating transmission and distribution lines, clearing trees and brush around equipment, replacing wooden power poles with steel or composite ones and placing protective covering over some infrastructure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So that’s a big deal because so-called utility hardening projects can make it less likely that animals, wind, or tree limbs will interfere with power equipment and spark fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, for the first time, the state is requiring utilities obtain a safety certification, setting a standard for safe and responsible operation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, lawmakers have indicated they intend to come back with a handful of other bills that more specifically respond to the underlying fire issues of vegetation and tree clearance, community fire safety, and other more-direct fire causes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And legislators added a clever caveat: Even though utilities regularly pass on the actual cost of capital expenditures and 11% or more to their customers, this law specifically states that the companies may NOT turn a profit from spending $5 billion on fire mitigation projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It sets a standard for a “prudent operator” and affords a presumption that if a company received the rating, its operations are generally safe and prudent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You may have heard the awkward term “inverse condemnation,” which means that California utilities are held responsible if their equipment causes a fire, even if they did not act negligently. That rule is in the state constitution and no one in Sacramento wants to take that on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However…utilities get a little relief in the new law. Before this week, electric utilities blamed for fires had to show that they managed their system properly and safely. The law now flips the burden of proof to advocates and victims groups to show that a utility acted unreasonably.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She also told Crowfoot to continue an investigation into reports that agency employees responsible for overseeing the oil industry own stock in the companies they regulate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>O'Leary's request came hours after advocacy groups Consumer Watchdog and FracTracker Alliance released data showing regulators have been issuing permits for hydraulic fracturing at twice the rate this year when compared to 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The number of permits granted for drilling new wells also increased by 35% from Jan. 1 to June 3 when compared to the rate last year, according to the groups' data. The organizations said that of the 2,365 well permits issued in those months, 45% benefited oil companies in which division officials owned stock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>O'Leary told Natural Resources Secretary Crowfoot in an email shared with the Associated Press that the number of hydraulic fracturing permits had increased without Gov. Newsom's knowledge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Gutierrez said he was told that because California was not regulating either company at the time, he did not need to sell his shares and to leave decisions about the companies to other officials should a conflict arise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm trying to follow the rules,\" Gutierrez told The Desert Sun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris was appointed to head DOGGR by former Gov.

He previously worked for the State Water Resources Control Board and regional water quality agencies. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DOGGR post has seen rapid turnover in the past decade and fracking has long been a controversial practice. Harris's predecessor resigned amid allegations of poor oversight of fracking and other drilling after just a year and a half on the job. The division had also faced scrutiny from the federal government for failing to enforce safe drinking water laws around oilfields.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum.
