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 7:30 a.m. appointment would let her handle the errand — verifying her car’s vehicle identification number — and still make it to work on time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when she met McGrew in the parking lot of the West Valley California Highway Patrol Office in Los Angeles, there seemed to be a problem. McGrew said he was having trouble finding the VIN sticker on her car door. Then, Nicole says, the conversation abruptly shifted.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Nicole\"]‘If this gets even more uncomfortable and sketchy what am I going to do next?’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“‘I'll pass this car, and you'll be able to get your registration, if you go out on a date with me,’” she remembers McGrew saying. “I kind of froze,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nicole says she was suddenly hyper aware of her surroundings — alone in a deserted parking lot with a man who was sitting in the front seat of her car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was going through my options in my head for a minute or two there trying to figure out: OK, if this gets even more uncomfortable and sketchy what am I going to do next?” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first, she tried to laugh off his proposition. She needed him to sign off on her car’s VIN. But McGrew didn’t drop it; he kept asking. Twice more, she says, he offered to pass her car in exchange for a date.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At that point I just shut down completely, and just kind of gave him this look like, ‘I'm so uncomfortable,’” she says. “And then he got more awkward and finally just kind of stepped out of my car, handed me paperwork and said I was good to go. And then I drove off.”[aside postID=\"news_11817288,news_11786770,news_11758000\" label=\"California's Secret Police Files\" heroLink=\"https://www.kqed.org/policerecords\" target=\"_blank\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nicole, who spoke on condition that her full name not be published to respect her privacy, was one of 21 women McGrew propositioned and harassed during VIN verification appointments, according to records from a 2016 internal investigation obtained by KQED and the California Reporting Project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four women said McGrew offered to pass their vehicles if they would go on a date or to a nearby motel with him. Two said McGrew sent them text messages soliciting sex after he took down their phone numbers during a VIN appointment. Fifteen described McGrew making comments that ranged from proposing sex to asking intrusive personal questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McGrew resigned in 2017 when the California Highway Patrol notified him that it planned to fire him for a variety of misconduct, including improperly trying to foster relationships with members of the public, making inappropriate sexual comments and propositioning women for sex while on duty, the documents show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The records provide details about the type of sexual misconduct by law enforcement that remained secret for decades in California until a landmark transparency law required agencies last year to publicly disclose a variety of documents, including investigations of officers found to have committed sexual assault while on duty.

A CHP spokeswoman wrote in an email that “had there been sufficient evidence that a crime had occurred, it would have been investigated and potentially referred to the district attorney's office.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district attorney's office declined to comment on the case. The California Association of Highway Patrolmen, which represented McGrew, also did not respond to requests for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Efforts to reach McGrew for comment were unsuccessful.

The woman, who spoke Spanish, didn’t immediately understand what McGrew was asking. So, McGrew repeated the proposition twice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The woman went inside the office to complain about McGrew’s behavior.

Stinson has found that complaints about police sexual misconduct are often never filed because of this fear of retribution, which makes it difficult to ever fully see — and address — the scope of the problem. One woman reported being scared to come back to the CHP for her follow-up appointment because she would have to see McGrew again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nicole says she didn’t make a complaint due to what she called her “classic chick response.” First, she blamed herself for agreeing to meet a man alone at 7:30 in the morning, even if he was a police officer.

Months later she learned she wasn’t the only one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nicole says when she started getting follow-up calls asking her to fill out a survey about her experience, she ignored them.

A coalition of news organizations including KQED requested all such records on Jan. 1, 2019, but the agency \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11758000/delaying-the-inevitable-many-police-agencies-withhold-records-in-new-era-of-transparency\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">stalled\u003c/a> for over a year before providing a single case file. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11817288/kqed-sues-chp-over-failure-to-disclose-discipline-and-use-of-force-records\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">KQED filed a lawsuit\u003c/a> in May against the CHP to force disclosure. The internal investigation of former Officer McGrew was produced shortly thereafter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency has also released its investigation into former CHP officer Timothy Larios, whose romantic relationship with a female confidential informant \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11817288/kqed-sues-chp-over-failure-to-disclose-discipline-and-use-of-force-records\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">compromised\u003c/a> an interagency narcotics operation and endangered the woman. A third file details the agency’s probe into former officer John Frizzell who was fired in 2014 for fondling a woman’s breasts during a traffic stop and asking another female motorist to lift up her shirt. Like McGrew, neither of these officers faced criminal charges, according to the documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__dropcapShortcode__dropcap\">R\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>ecords show the CHP began investigating McGrew after a woman made a complaint in 2016. Like Nicole, this woman made an appointment with McGrew to get her VIN verified so she could get her car registered with the DMV. She had her son with her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McGrew gave the kid a CHP sticker and looked at the vehicle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McGrew then told the woman he would pass her car if she went to a nearby motel with him, according to the documents. The woman, who spoke Spanish, didn’t immediately understand what McGrew was asking. So, McGrew repeated the proposition twice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The woman went inside the office to complain about McGrew’s behavior. A sergeant asked her if she misunderstood McGrew due to the language barrier and if she’d been drinking or taking drugs. She said there was no misunderstanding and that she wasn’t under the influence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She could not explain the expression on Officer McGrew's face, but she said he was smiling when he asked the question about getting a motel room,” the documents say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of the internal investigation stemming from that incident the CHP sent three rounds of surveys to about 150 women between 18-40 years of age who’d made appointments with McGrew during his time as an inspection officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11829157\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11829157\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/rearview2.jpg\" alt=\"The beautiful eyes of the young driver woman are reflected in the rearview mirror.

Later in that same appointment he told her, “You're young, but not too young for me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another woman said she felt violated after her experience at the CHP office. According to the documents:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Officer McGrew asked her what she was going to do for him if he passed her car. She said she tried to laugh it off, but believed it was inappropriate. She said he then made comments about ‘handcuffing’ her and getting her in the ‘back seat of her car.’ [Victim’s name redacted] also stated he mentioned taking her to a motel at the end or up the street. She said he even mentioned it had been recently remodeled and that it was fairly clean.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>McGrew admitted to investigators that he had made inappropriate comments to women while on duty, but said he never intended to act on those comments. When asked why he made these propositions to women, McGrew replied: “Just to see if they’ll say yes,” according to interview transcripts in the investigation file.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McGrew, however, did date at least one woman he harassed on the job, he told investigators, and he repeatedly texted another for a few months. Both said they cut off contact with him after his explicit messages made them uncomfortable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McGrew solicited two other women for sex via text message after their appointments. Documents show that McGrew got rid of that untraceable prepaid cellphone before investigators could look at it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You're dealing with a law enforcement officer who has a gun and a badge they’re a person in a position of authority,\" Stinson says. \"And it's very threatening for a woman to find themselves in that situation where the officer's suggesting that they engage in a sex act.

Stinson has found that complaints about police sexual misconduct are often never filed because of this fear of retribution, which makes it difficult to ever fully see — and address — the scope of the problem. One woman reported being scared to come back to the CHP for her follow-up appointment because she would have to see McGrew again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nicole says she didn’t make a complaint due to what she called her “classic chick response.” First, she blamed herself for agreeing to meet a man alone at 7:30 in the morning, even if he was a police officer. Then she tried to rationalize his behavior; maybe he wasn’t serious or maybe he was just an awkward flirt? Months later she learned she wasn’t the only one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nicole says when she started getting follow-up calls asking her to fill out a survey about her experience, she ignored them. But the calls kept coming until she was getting two or three calls a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I finally stayed on the phone a little longer to be like, ‘Why are you guys bothering me so much? This is a little aggressive for a freaking survey!’” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The investigator on the phone spelled it out for her; other women had made complaints about McGrew. So Nicole told him what had happened to her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After taking her statement, Nicole says the CHP never got back to her to let her know what happened with McGrew. She says she would also have expected the agency to make some kind of changes as a result of the investigation. They have not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No changes to CHP policy were necessary because the behavior was against policy then and is today,” a CHP spokeswoman wrote via email. “The employee's conduct was investigated and the employee was appropriately disciplined.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She met with the former head of the school, who she says “warned me to be careful with my words so as not to face a lawsuit.” Leehane says she wrote a letter to the Diocese of San Jose, but never received an answer. She eventually filed a police report, but was told the statute of limitations for criminal prosecution had run out.

The report found credible allegations against three English teachers, a Spanish teacher, a religion teacher and an assistant water polo coach — none of whom work at Presentation High today.

Leehane says she tried repeatedly to get the school to act — for a decade during her 20s. She sent letters. She met with the former head of the school, who she says “warned me to be careful with my words so as not to face a lawsuit.” Leehane says she wrote a letter to the Diocese of San Jose, but never received an answer. She eventually filed a police report, but was told the statute of limitations for criminal prosecution had run out. The teacher remained on staff for years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fast forward to 2017, after allegations about Harvey Weinstein emerged, launching the #MeToo movement.

About 100 people spoke during public comment for the meeting and the vast majority of them told council to support a Davila proposal to reduce the police budget \u003ca href=\"https://www.berkeleyside.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/2020-07-14-Item-18b-Support-Redistribution-of-City.pdf\">by at least 50%\u003c/a>. Davila said officials also got 700 emails in support of her item.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Arreguín item \u003ca href=\"https://www.berkeleyside.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Mayor-Supp-3-Police-Items.pdf\">blended five proposals\u003c/a> from different council members designed to reshape local policing.

"content": "\u003cp>The San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted unanimously Tuesday afternoon to permanently end the practice of charging those in county jail for phone calls, and to stop marking up items sold in jail stores.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure, among the first of its kind in the nation, codifies a set of reforms that Mayor London Breed \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11753870/san-francisco-mayor-london-breed-to-eliminate-jail-phone-call-fees\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">introduced last year\u003c/a> in her annual budget proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What happened last year was really an initial first step. This makes those changes permanent,” said Anne Stuhldreher, director of the Financial Justice Project in the San Francisco treasurer's office, who worked with Sheriff Paul Miyamoto and other city officials to push the legislation forward. The measure, she noted, also ensures that fees will no longer be charged for video calls and the use of electronic tablets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Anne Stuhldreher, director of the Financial Justice Project\"]'It’s people’s families who really foot the bill. And our research shows it's almost always low-income women of color.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are never again going to take a commission or make money off of products and services provided to incarcerated people and their support networks, their families,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until last year's changes, San Francisco inmates were charged 15 cents a minute for phone calls and had to pay a 43% markup on products sold in the commissary, including basic items like soap and food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It can really add up,” Stuhldreher said. “It’s people’s families who really foot the bill. And our research shows it's almost always low-income women of color.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stuhldreher said she heard from family members of inmates who were forced to choose between staying in touch and paying their utility bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, she noted, African Americans make up less than 6% of the population but represent roughly half of all incarcerated people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The more people stay in touch with family, the better they do when they get out,” Stuhldreher said, \u003ca href=\"https://www.prisonpolicy.org/scans/vera/the-family-and-recidivism.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pointing to research\u003c/a> that found lower recidivism rates among former inmates who while incarcerated had maintained close contact with supportive family members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Mayor Breed, who grew up in public housing and whose brother is serving a 44-year prison sentence for involuntary manslaughter and armed robbery, the issue is particularly personal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s something that has never sat well with me, from personal experience of the collect calls, and the amount of money that my grandma had to spend on our phone bill, and at times our phone getting cut off because we couldn't pay the bill,” she told KQED in a 2019 interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Being unable to provide support to family members behind bars can be \"depressing and frustrating,\" she said. \"This was something I thought was an important issue, to address equity and fairness in our criminal justice system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"jail\" label=\"California Jails\"]State law allows counties to charge inmates premiums for both calls and jail commissary items, provided those profits are used to support rehabilitation and reentry services. San Francisco was generating about $1.7 million a year from those fees, which went into an inmate welfare fund — one that Stuhldreher hopes will now receive ongoing support through the city's general fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The idea is that those services should be supported in the same way we pay for everything else, and not on the backs of incarcerated people and their families,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cost of phone calls in jail was initially halved following Breed's budget proposal last year, with commissary markups subsequently phased out. Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, inmates have been able to make about 60 minutes of free calls a week. And beginning August 1, all calls will be free.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The change is part of a growing trend in San Francisco and other, mostly progressive jurisdictions to reduce prohibitive fees that disproportionately affect low-income people of color. In 2018, the county eliminated administrative fees charged to people in the criminal justice system, writing off $32 million in debt owed by 21,000 people.

This makes those changes permanent,” said Anne Stuhldreher, director of the Financial Justice Project in the San Francisco treasurer's office, who worked with Sheriff Paul Miyamoto and other city officials to push the legislation forward. The measure, she noted, also ensures that fees will no longer be charged for video calls and the use of electronic tablets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

San Francisco was generating about $1.7 million a year from those fees, which went into an inmate welfare fund — one that Stuhldreher hopes will now receive ongoing support through the city's general fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The idea is that those services should be supported in the same way we pay for everything else, and not on the backs of incarcerated people and their families,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cost of phone calls in jail was initially halved following Breed's budget proposal last year, with commissary markups subsequently phased out. Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, inmates have been able to make about 60 minutes of free calls a week. And beginning August 1, all calls will be free.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The change is part of a growing trend in San Francisco and other, mostly progressive jurisdictions to reduce prohibitive fees that disproportionately affect low-income people of color. In 2018, the county eliminated administrative fees charged to people in the criminal justice system, writing off $32 million in debt owed by 21,000 people. And in 2014, the Sheriff’s Department allowed inmates to call their lawyers for free.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
