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.",

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.",

Palmer told KQED. He cited the dramatic drop in state revenues resulting from lost personal income taxes associated with business closures and record unemployment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All of those things are rippling through the economy. They’re going to be rippling through our state revenues,” Palmer said. “And they’re creating a substantial budget gap that we have to close between now and mid-June of more than $54 billion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State finance officials project roughly a quarter of that shortfall will occur in the current fiscal year, with the rest falling on Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Legislature to deal with in upcoming negotiations over next year’s budget, which starts July 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But California won’t know the full extent of its revenue shortfall until August, after the July 15 deadline for paying income taxes, which account for two-thirds of the state’s general fund revenues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, officials anticipate personal income tax revenue will fall by 25.5% below January projections, with sales and use taxes down 27%, and corporate tax revenue down 22.7%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That means required funding for education will be down $18.3 billion, a massive hit at a time when schools are struggling to deal with distance learning during the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The “good news” — if you can call it that — is that California had a once-anticipated surplus of $5.6 billion in the 2020/21 budget, the result of nearly a decade of strong economic growth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That, combined with the state’s “rainy day fund” will soften the blow somewhat. The fund, created by voters in 2014, and prudently managed by former Gov. Jerry Brown, is now estimated to hold roughly $16 billion, which can be tapped within limits once the governor declares a fiscal emergency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, those reserves will be cold comfort to those hardest hit by the downturn, who are disproportionately low- and middle-income Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"coronavirus\"]In his news briefing Wednesday, Newsom hinted at the magnitude of the problem, calling the numbers “jaw dropping.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The timing of the fiscal forecast is likely to prompt inquiries; it comes just hours after Newsom’s administration\u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-05-06/california-coronavirus-mask-price-byd-coronavirus\"> finally released details of a $1 billion contract\u003c/a> to buy safety masks from a Chinese electric car maker, \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/health/coronavirus/2020/05/california-mask-deal-blue-flame-collapsed-republican-vendor-maryland-porter-gula-thomas/\">raising serious questions\u003c/a> about the state’s COVID-19 expenditures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Previously, Newsom said any details of his so-called “May Revise” of the state budget wouldn’t be released until next Thursday. Instead, the deficit forecast was released at 9:45 p.m. Wednesday night, just a few hours after releasing details of the contract.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The imploding budget situation means Newsom will have to manage simultaneous crises, testing his ability to govern at a time when his popularity at home and national political stock had been rising as he and other governors filled a void left by the Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the bad news, in the way of rising unemployment and plunging revenues, is hardly over. Since shelter-in-place orders were issued in mid-March, shuttering much of the state’s economy, more than 4.2 million Californians have applied for unemployment benefits. Finance Department officials estimate unemployment levels will reach 18% statewide, up from just 3.9% earlier this year. By contrast, unemployment in California reached 12.2% at the height of the Great Recession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In light of such daunting numbers, Palmer said, California is waiting with bated breath for major federal financial assistance in the next round of relief legislation to continue providing core essential public services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That said, there are clearly going to have to be difficult proposals and difficult decisions that are going to go on the table,” Palmer said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

He also said he doesn’t want to “burden” his adult children with his own life choices. So Tillman has been living on the streets, slowly withering away, he said.

The cramped confines of her car would be a dreary distant memory, her locked-up knees could heal. They saved every penny, cut every expense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know all the things ‘normal’ people do to make themselves happy? I couldn’t do them. I didn’t even get one soda. No eating out. I cut everything,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then COVID-19 hit. The Bay Area-wide shelter-in-place order was instituted March 17, and Split Bread furloughed its workers, at least, Swift still hopes, temporarily. She and her boyfriend reached into their savings to weather the financial storm, their housing dream dashed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Living in her car was “really scary, I don’t like it. You never know when someone will come up to your window and rob you.” But at MLK Park she’s safer. Now she feels ready to get back to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This isn’t a whole home, but it feels like it,” Swift said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Soon, more San Francisco neighborhoods could become homes for other folks who’ve been sheltering in cars, doorways and tents.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Citywide Sites in the Works\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Three sites across San Francisco are in the works to become safe sleeping sites like MLK Park. While not locked down as moving forward – various entities are still negotiating these safe sleep sites – KQED News has confirmed they are under consideration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps the furthest along in planning stages is the former site of the Temporary Transbay Terminal. An \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6883382-Safe-Sleeping-Site-License-Agmt-Temp-Terminal-4.html\">agreement\u003c/a> between the Transbay Joint Powers Authority, which holds the lease to that parcel, and the City and County of San Francisco outlines the city’s right to operate it as a safe sleeping site. The document is dated April 14.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While a neighborhood group represented by lobbyist Chris Gruwell has not formally announced opposition, sources close to the matter say it spells a threat to the Temporary Transbay Terminal safe sleep site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sitting on an open space in the Temporary Transbay Center is basically the same thing as being in a shelter,” said Gloria Li, a neighbor in South of Market who sits on the citizen advisory committee of the TJPA, and wrote to the agency to voice her concerns. “They’re sharing common space. It will be a train wreck for everybody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Supervisor Matt Haney, who represents the South of Market neighborhood where the former Temporary Transbay Terminal resides, does not support the site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we should bring people into hotel rooms,” Haney said. “That’s safer, more cost-effective and better for public health.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everett Middle School is another site in the works. After a non-binding resolution authored by Supervisor Rafael Mandelman called for safe sleeping sites, Mandelman called for Everett Middle School’s parking lot to be open to homeless folks sleeping there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These makeshift encampments lack adequate social distancing as well as access to hygiene and sanitation, creating a public health hazard for encampment occupants and neighbors,” Mandelman said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/RafaelMandelman/status/1254884450330001408?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mark Sanchez, president of the San Francisco Board of Education, agrees. He crafted a resolution for the school board allowing the San Francisco Unified School District to enter into an agreement with the city to allow school property to be used for safe sleeping sites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While he emphasized that Everett was not yet a done deal, he did say the district is looking at only “one site” – Everett.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It does look like it will be a good site because of the growing number of people on the streets in that area,” he said, adding that ultimately it will need more outreach to neighbors and a vote by the Board of Education to enact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last site in the works is probably the least far along: a former McDonald’s site in the Haight neighborhood, near Golden Gate Park, on Haight and Stanyan streets. Supervisor Dean Preston has publicly touted the site, but did not respond to KQED News to speak about the effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>‘Camp Breed’ Echoes Loma Prieta Past\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>At City Hall’s front door, just past its grand lawn, lies a homeless encampment of roughly 90 tents sitting nearly on top of one another, bunched together in a nearly textbook example of how not to socially distance safely amid a pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That worries Kelley Cutler, a human rights organizer with the Coalition on Homelessness. San Francisco police have parked at the encampment, and barricades have gone up, keeping people sleeping in tents penned into a tight area next to the Asian Art Museum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re still being contained in these small areas so they can’t socially distance,” Cutler said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11816673\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11816673\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/RS43046_018_KQED_SanFrancisco_TentEncampments_05052020-qut.jpg\" alt=\"Tents line a gravel sidewalk off Fulton Street near City Hall on May 5, 2020.

Politics is no different, as candidates and campaigns are trying to reinvent themselves, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take Sepi Shyne. She announced she was running for the West Hollywood City Council with a video message back in November that proclaimed she was running on “people power.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s never been a woman of color on the West Hollywood City Council, and Shyne, whose family fled Iran when she was 5, is hoping to become the first. In early March, she had a fundraiser at her mom’s place in San Jose. And that’s when she realized everything was about to change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some people were scared to come, and the flights got canceled that night,” Shyne said. “We were supposed to leave after the fundraiser but we ended up having to take a rental car, getting home at four in the morning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campaigns have always thrived on people — volunteers making phone calls and knocking on doors. Candidate meet and greets in living rooms, handshakes, selfies and rallies, are all pretty much forbidden right now. So with a momentous election just a few months away, the political world is racing to meet the new reality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the past few weeks, dozens of women running for office across the country have tuned into a \u003ca href=\"https://emergeamerica.org/campaigning-through-crisis-webinar-series/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">five-part webinar\u003c/a> called Campaigning Through Crisis. It’s put on by Emerge America, which trains Democratic women to run for office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can’t imagine how overwhelming it is to be a candidate right now,” said Jill Barkley Roy, the webinar facilitator. “So allowing them to get together in a group setting like this and share advice and tips and just, you know, encouragement, is really important.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond the encouragement though, Roy says with the political environment so dramatically changed, she urges the candidates to get back to basics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And that they remember that the reason that they ran for office in the first place is still true and that there’s probably new reasons now for why they need to continue to campaign, continue to stay in this race and win,” Roy said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A’shanti Gholar, president of Emerge America, says the idea for the Campaigning Through Crisis series came from one of their graduates, San Francisco Mayor London Breed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"More Coronavirus Coverage\" tag=\"coronavirus\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So when she started implementing social distancing, banning large gatherings, that’s when we knew that things were going to change,” Gholar said. “So, she actually helped us with knowing that we had to pivot very early.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That pivot includes recalculating the number of votes a candidate needs to win their race and where those votes will come from. In the current environment, that could require number crunching.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you have a lot of college students in your district and all of those college students are gone because campuses are shut down, how are you recalculating your win number?” said Gholar of just one example of the new campaign reality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conventional wisdom holds that this new political environment favors incumbents, those with higher name recognition and deeper donor bases. So Gholar says challengers and first-time candidates have to bring their A-game now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everyone has had to shift and learn and that this is a really good time to be innovative and come up with new ideas and show people why you’re the perfect candidate,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Shyne, in West Hollywood, that’s meant pivoting from asking voters for support — to supporting voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We started a group called WeHo Neighbors Helping Neighbors. We created a Facebook page and Instagram and Twitter,” Shyne said. “I’ve really just done it to help and be of service. I think it’s important for people, anyone who is especially running to be a public servant, to show what type of leader they will be once they’re in office by who they are now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Using social media, she now has a small army of volunteers helping constituents survive the pandemic — sort of like how an elected official would. Shyne and other candidates like her hope that being there for their community in a crisis will help them win their election come November.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Politics is no different, as candidates and campaigns are trying to reinvent themselves, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take Sepi Shyne. She announced she was running for the West Hollywood City Council with a video message back in November that proclaimed she was running on “people power.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s never been a woman of color on the West Hollywood City Council, and Shyne, whose family fled Iran when she was 5, is hoping to become the first. In early March, she had a fundraiser at her mom’s place in San Jose. And that’s when she realized everything was about to change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some people were scared to come, and the flights got canceled that night,” Shyne said. “We were supposed to leave after the fundraiser but we ended up having to take a rental car, getting home at four in the morning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campaigns have always thrived on people — volunteers making phone calls and knocking on doors. Candidate meet and greets in living rooms, handshakes, selfies and rallies, are all pretty much forbidden right now. So with a momentous election just a few months away, the political world is racing to meet the new reality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It’s put on by Emerge America, which trains Democratic women to run for office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can’t imagine how overwhelming it is to be a candidate right now,” said Jill Barkley Roy, the webinar facilitator. “So allowing them to get together in a group setting like this and share advice and tips and just, you know, encouragement, is really important.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond the encouragement though, Roy says with the political environment so dramatically changed, she urges the candidates to get back to basics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And that they remember that the reason that they ran for office in the first place is still true and that there’s probably new reasons now for why they need to continue to campaign, continue to stay in this race and win,” Roy said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A’shanti Gholar, president of Emerge America, says the idea for the Campaigning Through Crisis series came from one of their graduates, San Francisco Mayor London Breed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In the current environment, that could require number crunching.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you have a lot of college students in your district and all of those college students are gone because campuses are shut down, how are you recalculating your win number?” said Gholar of just one example of the new campaign reality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conventional wisdom holds that this new political environment favors incumbents, those with higher name recognition and deeper donor bases. So Gholar says challengers and first-time candidates have to bring their A-game now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everyone has had to shift and learn and that this is a really good time to be innovative and come up with new ideas and show people why you’re the perfect candidate,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Shyne, in West Hollywood, that’s meant pivoting from asking voters for support — to supporting voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We started a group called WeHo Neighbors Helping Neighbors. We created a Facebook page and Instagram and Twitter,” Shyne said. “I’ve really just done it to help and be of service. I think it’s important for people, anyone who is especially running to be a public servant, to show what type of leader they will be once they’re in office by who they are now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Using social media, she now has a small army of volunteers helping constituents survive the pandemic — sort of like how an elected official would. Shyne and other candidates like her hope that being there for their community in a crisis will help them win their election come November.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
