"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.",

Prior to 1994, proof of legal presence was not required. Some undocumented immigrants had licenses before the change in the law, but after they expired, they could not renew them without documentation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Stanton on Friday, hundreds of people lined up in the early-morning cold to form a line stretching around a temporary Department of Motor Vehicles office -- some poring over driver's handbooks in preparation for written tests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a big opportunity for me,\" said Sammy Moeung, 24, a Cambodian immigrant. \"Having this is moving a step forward in life, in California and the United States.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moeung, who lives in Buena Park, said he arrived a little after 4 a.m. because he didn't want to wait another day to get a license.

The licenses issued to immigrants without legal status will include a distinctive marking and are not considered a valid form of federal identification.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigrant advocates have cheered the licenses as a way to integrate immigrants who must drive to work and shuttle children to school.

A DMV study of 23 years of crash data found that unlicensed drivers were more likely to cause a fatal collision than licensed drivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State insurance officials hope the change will increase the number of drivers holding auto insurance, though some immigrants say they have always held insurance even though they could not get a license.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maritza Aguirre, 30, is one of them.

But they are warning those with deportation orders or criminal records to first seek legal advice since law enforcement can access DMV data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Applicants must submit proof of identity and state residency and pass written and road tests. Those who don't possess foreign government-issued identification on a list of approved documents can be interviewed by a DMV investigator to see if they qualify.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigrants who pass the initial hurdles will get a driving permit.

After undocumented immigrants pass the written exam and receive a practice permit, they have to make an appointment and return to another office to be tested behind the wheel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Undocumented immigrants have not been able to obtain a California driver's license in 20 years. Prior to 1994, proof of legal presence was not required. Some undocumented immigrants had licenses before the change in the law, but after they expired, they could not renew them without documentation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Stanton on Friday, hundreds of people lined up in the early-morning cold to form a line stretching around a temporary Department of Motor Vehicles office -- some poring over driver's handbooks in preparation for written tests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a big opportunity for me,\" said Sammy Moeung, 24, a Cambodian immigrant. \"Having this is moving a step forward in life, in California and the United States.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moeung, who lives in Buena Park, said he arrived a little after 4 a.m. because he didn't want to wait another day to get a license. He said he needs it to avoid having to ride his bike to work at his brother's doughnut shop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is one of 10 states now providing licenses to immigrants in the country illegally. The licenses issued to immigrants without legal status will include a distinctive marking and are not considered a valid form of federal identification.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigrant advocates have cheered the licenses as a way to integrate immigrants who must drive to work and shuttle children to school. But critics have questioned state officials' ability to verify the identity of foreign applicants, citing security concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Law enforcement officials say the program will improve road safety because licensed drivers must be tested and insured. A DMV study of 23 years of crash data found that unlicensed drivers were more likely to cause a fatal collision than licensed drivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State insurance officials hope the change will increase the number of drivers holding auto insurance, though some immigrants say they have always held insurance even though they could not get a license.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maritza Aguirre, 30, is one of them. She used to take a two-hour bus trip to clean houses in driving-dependent Southern California. Now she drives, but lacks a license and fears her car might be impounded if she is ever stopped by police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For me, honestly, it is a blessing,\" said Aguirre, who has an appointment to apply for a license. \"The relief of knowing they won't take your car is a big advantage.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates have encouraged immigrants to seek the license. But they are warning those with deportation orders or criminal records to first seek legal advice since law enforcement can access DMV data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Applicants must submit proof of identity and state residency and pass written and road tests. Those who don't possess foreign government-issued identification on a list of approved documents can be interviewed by a DMV investigator to see if they qualify.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigrants who pass the initial hurdles will get a driving permit. But they must return for a driving test before they can get the new licenses, which will be marked with the words \"federal limits apply.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>AP contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Portales’ students are among the first who will try.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In two sessions that last 2½ hours each, Portales covers speed limits, 3-point turns, how to hold the steering wheel and the danger of passing on a two-lane road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During a break in the class, one of the students explains why she wants to get her license.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m scared because I don’t have something legal here for identification,” says Monica, who asked to go by her first name only because she’s been driving without a license.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monica moved to East San Jose from Acapulco, Mexico, to support her two daughters back at home. And for the past 12 years, she says her work as a housekeeper means she drives a lot, every day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new license that Monica hopes to get isn’t going to look like an ordinary license. Republicans pushed to make sure it was clearly different.

And the back will say: This card is not acceptable for official federal purposes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monica says that doesn’t bother her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Portales says a lot of undocumented immigrants haven’t decided whether to risk putting themselves on record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Many of them are concerned they’re going to get deported as soon as they register themselves,” he says. “They think they’re going to get deported and they’re afraid.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Portales says many plan to step forward regardless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are two ways undocumented immigrants can apply for their licenses: Get an appointment at any DMV office or show up at one of four giant new DMVs that have opened temporarily just for this. Three are in Southern California: in Granada Hills, Lompoc and Stanton. The fourth is in San Jose. All this new real estate and personnel are projected to cost $141 million over three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Applicants need to show that they do in fact \u003ca href=\"http://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/detail/pubs/newsrel/newsrel14/2014_70\" target=\"_blank\">live in the state and to provide some form of identification\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monica has her appointment set for next week, and she says it will be a big relief when she can finally get a license.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have your identification, you don’t have so much problem,” she says. “You feeling better if the police stop.

Presenter after presenter explained the new law, called AB60, which goes into effect on Jan. 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We know that the city of L.A. has a big immigrant population that doesn't have a driver's license, and they're driving in the city of L.A.,\" Juan Gonzalez, a lieutenant with the Los Angeles Police Department, told the crowd.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They're driving all over the state — in California's cities, in rural areas, commuting to work and school or just traveling.

Fresno County’s Hmong refugee producers are some of the state’s newest and most disadvantaged farmers -- and they cannot afford the water necessary to keep their businesses going. Emergency loans are available from the government but, as many are discovering, the help is often too little too late.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Drying wells and shrinking bank accounts\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of the many vendors at Fresno County farmers markets, Hmong grower May Vu is kind of famous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They call her ‘May Flowers’ for all the flowers that she’s grown,” explains Jon Thao, an advocate for the area’s Hmong farmers and a distant relative of Vu. Both Vu and Thao are standing in a field off Highway 41, pointing out the sunflowers that mark the beginning of Vu’s plot of land.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the past, [Vu] had 11 acres, so you can imagine ... it’s kind of hard,” says Thao.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/180180192\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vu was leasing 11 acres in the spring -- enough to bring in $2,000 a week. She grew flowers, broccoli, cilantro, green onion and Asian crops like sinqua and bitter melon. But early this summer, Vu’s well started to dry up. She was getting less water at a higher price, and producing fewer crops of worse quality. So her only option was to downsize from 11 acres to 5.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">Farming was the main skill this refugee population brought from Laos in the ‘70s and ‘80s - and it's still one of the few ways families can climb out of poverty.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Chukou Thao, executive director of National Hmong American Farmers, says it was around June when he got a call for help from Vu. Thao’s organization, which primarily advocates for refugee farmers from Laos, had already been receiving panicked calls from other local growers at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were thinking that maybe it’s just the pump. Maybe the pump went out,” recalls Thao. That was before he started to realize that too many pumps were failing for too many farmers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s one, two, three, 50-plus farmers whose pumps have gone out,” Thao says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fifty farmers are a tiny fraction of Fresno County’s 2,500 Hmong producers, but Thao says they are the worst off. Farming was the main skill that this refugee population brought from Laos in the '70s and '80s. Today, it is still one of the few ways families are able to climb out of poverty. So it is not surprising that the Hmong tend to invest their life savings on the harvest each year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if the wells go dry, so do their bank accounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Financial aid, just out of reach\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in the summer, May Vu had decided to dig her well deeper on what was then her 5-acre farm. The dig had a price tag of $7,000 -- a fraction of the million-dollar wells some big farms have been putting in -- but still an amount she could not really afford. So Vu tried to get some financial help from the local offices of the USDA Farm Service Agency, or FSA. There was just one problem: Vu did not own her land -- a requirement for receiving aid from the FSA’s Emergency Farm Loan program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Thao, about 80 percent of Hmong growers in the Central Valley lease their land. So even though the FSA offers emergency loans to help farmers survive disasters like the state’s three-year drought, many farmers like Vu are not able to access them. Those who can are not guaranteed to get the loan when they need it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Oosterman, farm loan chief for the state’s FSA, is sympathetic to farmers hit hard by the drought. However, approving loan applications takes time, he says. Evaluating an application can take a loan officer up to 60 days and is just the first step in the review process. In total, getting a loan request approved can take up to four months -- which Thao of National Hmong American Farmers finds frustrating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Let’s say they needed $10,000 to fix their pump so that they can get water,” says Thao. “So maybe the crop goes one week without water, right? By the time they got the money, there’s nothing left.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Relying on the rain\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>May Vu did not get help from the FSA, but she was able to persuade her landowner to split the cost of digging the well deeper on her 5-acre farm. And for a few weeks in September and October, water flowed again. But then, just like before, the well ran dry. So she packed up her things and moved to an available acre on her brother’s property. Now Vu earns about $200 per week -- down from the days of $2,000 per week. In total, Vu says, trying to save her business has cost $40,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If [the Hmong] don’t farm, this is it,” says Thao. “It’s not like they can go out there and get a job. If they don’t farm, I don’t know what they’re going to be doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oosterman of the FSA says the Fresno County office is hiring another farm loan officer to speed up the application review process. For farmers like Vu, though, the only thing left to rely on is the rain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>This story was produced with support from the UC Berkeley 11th Hour Food and Farming Fellowship.\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\n",

So it is not surprising that the Hmong tend to invest their life savings on the harvest each year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if the wells go dry, so do their bank accounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Financial aid, just out of reach\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in the summer, May Vu had decided to dig her well deeper on what was then her 5-acre farm. The dig had a price tag of $7,000 -- a fraction of the million-dollar wells some big farms have been putting in -- but still an amount she could not really afford. So Vu tried to get some financial help from the local offices of the USDA Farm Service Agency, or FSA. There was just one problem: Vu did not own her land -- a requirement for receiving aid from the FSA’s Emergency Farm Loan program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Thao, about 80 percent of Hmong growers in the Central Valley lease their land. So even though the FSA offers emergency loans to help farmers survive disasters like the state’s three-year drought, many farmers like Vu are not able to access them. Those who can are not guaranteed to get the loan when they need it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Oosterman, farm loan chief for the state’s FSA, is sympathetic to farmers hit hard by the drought. However, approving loan applications takes time, he says. Evaluating an application can take a loan officer up to 60 days and is just the first step in the review process. In total, getting a loan request approved can take up to four months -- which Thao of National Hmong American Farmers finds frustrating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Let’s say they needed $10,000 to fix their pump so that they can get water,” says Thao. “So maybe the crop goes one week without water, right? By the time they got the money, there’s nothing left.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Relying on the rain\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>May Vu did not get help from the FSA, but she was able to persuade her landowner to split the cost of digging the well deeper on her 5-acre farm. And for a few weeks in September and October, water flowed again. But then, just like before, the well ran dry. So she packed up her things and moved to an available acre on her brother’s property. Now Vu earns about $200 per week -- down from the days of $2,000 per week. In total, Vu says, trying to save her business has cost $40,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If [the Hmong] don’t farm, this is it,” says Thao. “It’s not like they can go out there and get a job. If they don’t farm, I don’t know what they’re going to be doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oosterman of the FSA says the Fresno County office is hiring another farm loan officer to speed up the application review process. For farmers like Vu, though, the only thing left to rely on is the rain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>This story was produced with support from the UC Berkeley 11th Hour Food and Farming Fellowship.\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Though he offered detailed plans that could prevent the deportation of up to 5 million immigrants, Obama merely mentioned he would “make it easier and faster for high-skilled immigrants, graduates and entrepreneurs to stay and contribute to our economy, as so many business leaders have proposed.” That was not the kind of guarantee the tech sector was seeking. “There were no specifics,” said Carl Guardino, CEO of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group, a trade association that represents 390 of Silicon Valley’s top companies. “I don’t know whether to applaud or boo. Whenever a politician doesn’t offer any specifics I get worried.” \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Obama-s-immigration-plan-leaves-tech-world-5908109.php\" target=\"_blank\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.contracostatimes.com/my-town/ci_26979971/san-francisco-shout-helped-set-stage-obama-immigration\" target=\"_blank\">San Francisco shout helped set stage for Obama immigration action\u003c/a> (Bay Area News Group):\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Turning from the podium to see a young man in a gray blazer shouting at him, President Barack Obama chided Ju Hong for disrupting his San Francisco immigration speech just three days before Thanksgiving last year. \"Mr. President, please use your executive order to halt deportation for all 11.5 million undocumented immigrants in this country right now.\" Obama sternly dismissed the idea, but now, one year later, he has announced a sweeping executive action that comes close to what Hong demanded, though not close enough to help the family members the 25-year-old cares about the most. \u003ca href=\"http://www.contracostatimes.com/my-town/ci_26979971/san-francisco-shout-helped-set-stage-obama-immigration\" target=\"_blank\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/gov-jerry-brown/article4040939.html\" target=\"_blank\">For Jerry Brown, tough going with UC regents \u003c/a>(Sacramento Bee):\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>It was only the opening of a months-long budget negotiation when the University of California’s governing board voted Thursday to raise tuition if the Legislature and Gov. Jerry Brown don’t give the university system more money. Brinksmanship is common in budget talks. So, oftentimes, is reconciliation. Yet the animosity with which Brown and the Board of Regents fought this week in San Francisco laid bare how far apart the governor and one of the state’s most powerful institutions have become – and how difficult it will be for Brown to exert influence over UC in his fourth term. \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/gov-jerry-brown/article4040939.html\" target=\"_blank\">Full story \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://pando.com/2014/11/20/on-stage-at-goldman-sachs-event-travis-kalanick-compared-his-companys-woes-to-ferguson/\" target=\"_blank\">Uber CEO compares his company's troubles in Las Vegas to crisis in Ferguson \u003c/a>(PandoDaily):\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>... [T]he most remarkable part of Kalanick’s Goldman Sachs keynote has so far gone unreported. According to multiple sources, while talking about Uber’s ongoing fight with taxi authorities in Las Vegas, Kalanick likened his company’s woes to those of the residents of Ferguson, Missouri. \u003ca href=\"http://pando.com/2014/11/20/on-stage-at-goldman-sachs-event-travis-kalanick-compared-his-companys-woes-to-ferguson/\" target=\"_blank\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.buzzfeed.com/claudiakoerner/uber-ceo-rapid-growth-responsible-for-latest-employee-errors\" target=\"_blank\">Uber CEO: Rapid Growth Responsible for Latest Employee Errors\u003c/a> (BuzzFeed):\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Uber CEO Travis Kalanick suggested Wednesday that the company’s fast growth is responsible for a series of mistakes that have left it reeling in a PR crisis. Kalanick gave the keynote speech at a private technology conference in Las Vegas thrown by Goldman Sachs. In a conversation with Goldman’s chair of telecom, media, and technology, he pointed out that in a year, Uber has grown from 400 employees to 1,900 as well as expanded from about 50 cities to 230 around the world. \u003ca href=\"http://www.buzzfeed.com/claudiakoerner/uber-ceo-rapid-growth-responsible-for-latest-employee-errors\" target=\"_blank\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/S-F-zookeepers-say-concerns-ignored-before-5907518.php\" target=\"_blank\">S.F. zookeepers say concerns were ignored before baby gorilla died \u003c/a>(San Francisco Chronicle):\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>An endangered young gorilla might not have been crushed to death under an electric door at the San Francisco Zoo if top managers had listened to workers who raised safety concerns about the gorilla enclosure, five animal keepers told The Chronicle. ... [T]he five zookeepers, who work with primates, said in interviews that safety in the 30-year-old gorilla enclosure was compromised by a flawed layout, problems with the doors and inadequate staffing. “It was a freak accident,” said Corey Hallman, one of the animal keepers. “But with a workplace that takes safety and keeper input more seriously, it could have been prevented.” \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/S-F-zookeepers-say-concerns-ignored-before-5907518.php\" target=\"_blank\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfweekly.com/thesnitch/2014/11/20/rip-marianbrown-iconic-san-francisco-twin\" target=\"_blank\">RIP Marian Brown, Iconic San Francisco Twin\u003c/a> (SF Weekly):\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Sad news: Marian Brown, the 87-year-old society dame who was famous for roaming the streets of San Francisco in orthopedic sandals and leopard print coats alongside her twin sister, Vivian, has died. The Brown twins were known for wearing stylish identical outfits and saucy bobbed haircuts, and for dining together at Uncle Vito's pizzeria in Nob Hill. Born in Kalamazoo, Michigan, they were valedictorians at Mattawan High School, where they played clarinet in the school band. Both went on to study business education at Western Michigan University and then work as secretaries at the Upjohn Company, according to the Kalamazoo Gazette. \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfweekly.com/thesnitch/2014/11/20/rip-marianbrown-iconic-san-francisco-twin\" target=\"_blank\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/crime-courts/ci_26979365/possible-new-fuel-additive-at-berkeley-gas-stations?source=rss\" target=\"_blank\">Possible new fuel additive at Berkeley gas stations: guilt\u003c/a> (Bay Area News Group):\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Filling your gas tank in Berkeley will soon come with a little guilt: a message that your driving hurts the planet.

The wet stage was set perfectly, as Oakland blew a 17-3 lead over Kansas City only to come back and win its first game of the season, 24-20. The crowd at O.co Coliseum and the national television audience had to be impressed with the heart of a heretofore 0-10 team. “We knew that after this game, people were going to laugh at us or respect us,” safety Charles Woodson said. \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/raiders/article/In-rain-Raiders-end-victory-drought-5908201.php\" target=\"_blank\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
