"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.",

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.",

There wasn’t a space for growth and change.’[/pullquote] “The problem that I struggled with was that there wasn’t a space for other voices to be heard. There wasn’t a space for growth and change,” she said. “Every time that there was an opportunity to look at criminal justice differently and to have that really difficult conversation and really look at our role in all of this … instead of saying, ‘This is an opportunity,’ they immediately went to opposition and they opposed all criminal justice or most criminal justice reform.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, Salazar joined forces with two other DAs — Diana Becton of Contra Costa County and\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11793457/can-s-f-s-chesa-boudin-flip-the-script-for-progressive-das-across-the-country\"> Chesa Boudin\u003c/a> of San Francisco — as well as George Gascón, the former San Francisco DA now \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/projects/la-district-attorney-race-lacey-vs-gascon-analysis/\">running for the top prosecutor job in Los Angeles\u003c/a>, in announcing the formation of a “progressive law enforcement association.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dubbed the \u003ca href=\"https://prosecutorsalliance.org/\">Prosecutors Alliance of California\u003c/a>, the group and its advocacy arm plan to campaign for and against state legislation, ballot initiatives and candidate races, with an eye on “modern and sustainable approaches to achieving safety and community health.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cristine Soto DeBerry, executive director of the initiative, says the group will be actively involved in lobbying and educating state lawmakers in Sacramento as well as pushing back against ballot measures\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11824855/report-ballot-measure-would-put-thousands-behind-bars-harm-communities-of-color\"> its members consider harmful\u003c/a>, such as \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11826314/california-voters-asked-to-weigh-ballot-measures-that-could-reverse-hard-won-justice-reforms\">Proposition 20\u003c/a> on the ballot this November, which would roll back a number of recent statewide criminal justice reforms, making it harder for some state inmates to get parole and easier for others to be sent to prison or jail. The group will also serve as a resource for prosecutors who want to implement new policies and receive training on how to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this moment of widespread protests against systemic racism and distrust in the criminal justice system, members of the group say it’s crucial for diverse voices within the law enforcement community to be heard in an effort to help restore confidence in the system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Vern \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pierson, \u003c/span>head of he California District Attorney’s Association, says his group r\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">epresents a wide diversity of viewpoints and \u003c/span>welcomes the new effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“CDAA represent 57 DAs, and 4,000 non-elected prosecutors in California. … you can imagine in San Francisco versus Riverside there are very different perspectives on criminal justice issues,” said Pierson, the DA for El Dorado County. “I don’t have a problem with the new organization — it represents a small segment of that.”\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pierson notes that Boudin, San Francisco’s liberal district attorney, is also a member of CDAA, and says there will likely be issues the two groups can partner on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for Salazar, she freely admits she never expected to be part of an alliance with some of the most liberal DAs in the state. Boudin is a former public defender, while Gascón angered many of his law enforcement colleagues by helping write and push \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_47,_Reduced_Penalties_for_Some_Crimes_Initiative_(2014)\">Proposition 47\u003c/a>, one of the most sweeping statewide criminal justice reforms in years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CristineDeBerry/status/1305980787838218240\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, Salazar said, it actually fits quite well with her philosophy of public safety — she notes that for years, California increased spending on law enforcement and incarceration, but that it never correlated with lower crime or recidivism rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I will definitely get backlash for this. I didn’t start my career thinking I’m going to be sitting next to these guys,” she said. “I had to have that very difficult conversation with myself as to what was my ethical and moral responsibility and what was my fiscal responsibility to my community. And how do I start healing it by building trust and transparency.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group aims to be a counter voice to existing law enforcement associations in California, which have wielded immense power, supporting and sometimes funding many of the state’s harshest sentencing laws and opposing most reform efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even as California has become more progressive and voters have been willing to embrace change, those associations have remained incredibly conservative, DeBerry notes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s in part, she says, because most of those groups give equal voice to every county — meaning that Los Angeles County, with a population of 10 million, has the same weight as Alpine County, with its 1,100 residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What is clear is that the criminal justice system we have had in this country no longer serves our best interests and arguably never did serve our best interests,” DeBerry said, pointing to the absence within the law enforcement community of any strong collective voice pushing for change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"criminal-justice-reform\"]“And that has made it much harder, I think, for reform to prevail, because we’ve ended up in a conversation, a false conversation, that suggests there’s a dichotomy between reform and safety,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salazar echoes that frustration, saying she’s clashed with other California prosecutors over their position that any change will lead to violence in the streets; and over their insistence that even when voters have approved reforms, they didn’t really know what they were voting for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I find that very insulting. I am a voter and I take my voting responsibility very seriously,” she said, noting that reforms like Proposition 47 passed with nearly 60% of the vote. “So, are you really saying 60% to 65% of our community is uneducated and ignorant and didn’t know what they were voting for?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her book \u003ca href=\"https://emilybazelon.com/\">“Charged\u003c/a>,” journalist Emily Bazelon examines how the overarching power of local prosecutors has helped further mass incarceration in the United States — and how some progressive DAs are seeking to reverse that trend. A group like the Prosecutors Alliance of California, she says, stands to make a real difference in debates around criminal justice reform, particularly in Sacramento, where law enforcement has traditionally spoken with one voice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It changes who’s speaking for law enforcement, right? So, if you have district attorneys united in saying that a sentencing reform is a bad idea, or it’s not safe — that sends a really strong message,” Bazelon said. “If you have some DAs on the other side, even if it’s the minority, saying, ‘Wait, wait, wait, we don’t need these heavy sentences to do our jobs. We see a reason to make changes that will make the system more fair. And that is in line with our public safety goals.’ — That really changes the conversation.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Kamala Harris has found herself caught between two very different groups, both of whom see themselves in her: law enforcement officials and progressive activists pushing for a more racially just legal system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris is\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11834151/senator-kamala-harris-takes-her-place-in-history-as-vp-nominee\"> now the Democratic nominee for vice president\u003c/a>, and in recent years has been \u003ca href=\"https://www.harris.senate.gov/news/press-releases/harris-on-police-reform-this-movement-will-not-be-deterred\">outspoken about the need for systemic change to policing and criminal justice\u003c/a> in America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But before that, and before she was the second Black and first South Asian woman to serve in the U.S. Senate, Harris was a prosecutor: district attorney of San Francisco, then attorney general of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Debbie Mesloh, one of Harris’ longtime advisers, said Harris was from the start considered an outsider by many in the world of law enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I recall many situations where people who had been in leadership within the DA’s office or within the police department seemed to struggle with her leadership,” Mesloh recalled. “That first meeting with the District Attorney’s Association of California, she was the only woman to walk in that room. She was one of, I think, three people of color.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"kamala-harris\"]Mesloh said Harris has had to absorb throughout her career “subtle and not so subtle messages that were sent to her of, you know, ‘Who do you think you are? You need to know your place. You know, you may have won an election, but there’s only one of you. We outnumber you.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mesloh said Harris never let those messages intimidate her.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Wanting a Seat at the Table\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Suzy Loftus, who worked under Harris as both a deputy district attorney and assistant attorney general, said the conviction was important to Harris — and consistent with her principles. And, she said, Harris learned from the Espinoza case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She made the decision quickly, announced it quickly and recognized later that there were so many people who were so deeply impacted in that moment and in grief and in pain. And that loss was exacerbated by an announcement in the middle of it. So I think she endeavored to learn from her mistakes,” Loftus said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, Loftus insists, it didn’t make Harris a different or more cautious politician.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think by function of being a prosecutor, you’re more careful,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jim Stearns, who ran Harris’ first campaign, added that while the Espinoza decision soured some in law enforcement on Harris at the time, it also won over many voters, making her something of a political star in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think what galvanized the city for her was this was the first time people could remember that a politician made a difficult promise, like, ‘I will never enforce the death penalty,’ and actually did it under the most incredible pressure,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stearns said there’s been a tension throughout Harris’ career: between what’s expected of her as a member of law enforcement and what’s been asked of her by progressive activists who see her as an ally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Kamala has always wanted to have a seat at the table,” Stearns said. “So it would be a mistake to see Kamala or to expect from Kamala that she is ever going to stand outside of the system and demand the kind of wholesale changes that people who stand out of the system want.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That tension would play out most dramatically when Harris took on her next job, as attorney general of the state of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>‘Someone Who’s Been So Vilified’\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In 2010, Harris won the narrowest of victories to become California’s first female and first Black attorney general.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a tough race. Law enforcement unions had overwhelmingly backed Harris’ opponent, Los Angeles’ Republican district attorney, Steve Cooley, who used those endorsements to paint Harris as anti-police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To build relationships with local prosecutors, sheriffs and police, the first thing Harris did as attorney general was visit all 58 California counties. Loftus, her longtime deputy, planned the tour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was incredibly effective because I think there’s nothing like actually getting to talk to someone — especially who’s been so vilified,” Loftus said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"LaDoris Cordell, former San Jose independent police auditor\"]‘There’s this fine line.

But she soon found herself at odds with another key constituency: progressive Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deadly police shootings were in the news, and Democrats in the California state Legislature were pushing a bill to require independent investigations of deadly use of force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sacramento Democratic Assemblyman Kevin McCarty authored a 2015 bill to require the attorney general to take police shooting investigations away from local district attorneys, who he said have an inherent conflict of interest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know, if you’re at a high school baseball game looking out there and seeing the umpire is the uncle of one of the star players, are you going to trust that umpire to call balls and strikes fairly?

She also declined to support another bill requiring police officers to wear body cameras, even though she was the first to mandate that officers at the state Department of Justice wear them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, her opposition to statewide legislation \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/local/politics/la-me-pol-ca-harris-police-shootings-20160118-story.html\">didn’t sit well with the Black Caucus in the Legislature\u003c/a>, who saw her as standing on the wrong side of the fight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Sen. Holly Mitchell, a Los Angeles Democrat and member of the Black Caucus, \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/local/politics/la-me-pol-ca-harris-police-shootings-20160118-story.html\">told the Los Angeles Times\u003c/a> in 2016 that Harris’ “absence is noticeable,” adding that “people are looking to her for guidance and direction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>‘Now a Lawmaker, Not a Law Enforcer’\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It’s not surprising for an attorney general to face such pressure — especially one who is a Black woman — said LaDoris Cordell, who was an independent police auditor in San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s this fine line. You’re the top cop, but you’re also a prosecutor, which is representing the people. And oftentimes those two things are not compatible,” Cordell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investigations of police shootings are in some ways a no-win situation, Cordell contends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The feeling is that people are passing around this hot potato. When these shootings happen, they’re very controversial. The public is very aware. There are protests and it’s sort of like, you know, people just don’t really want to handle them,” Cordell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris said her opposition to the bill wasn’t based on fear of catching a hot potato, but rather concern about interfering with local prosecutors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She knew firsthand how that felt: In 2004, some San Francisco officials pushed the then-state attorney general to take the Espinoza murder case away from her office, after she declined to seek the death penalty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Loftus, Harris’ longtime deputy, said that experience cut deeply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think she fundamentally always believed it’s a local prosecutor’s job to do the right thing and not to punt,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that she’s in the Senate and on the presidential campaign trail, Harris has been outspoken on policing issues, introducing legislation to ban chokeholds, racial profiling and no-knock warrants, as well as to make lynching a federal crime. In her speech accepting the Democratic nomination, she called out systemic racism in America, naming two recent victims of police violence: George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mesloh, Harris’ longtime adviser, said she’s taking those positions now not because she has changed her mind, but because she’s now a lawmaker, not a law enforcer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Having worked with her for so long, these were conversations we would always have,” Mesloh said. “She may have not been having them externally, but this is the Kamala that I have known and seen for 20 years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mesloh says that because of who Harris is — a Black, South Asian woman, and the daughter of civil rights activists — she has often been expected to align herself with liberals pushing for change from the outside. But for most of her career, she’s been a prosecutor, working to change the system from the inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

That law bars landlords of single-family homes from raising a tenant’s rent to an exorbitant amount in order to “circumvent” eviction protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City Attorney Dennis Herrera hailed the decision as a win for tenants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It shocks the conscience to think a landlord would double or triple somebody’s rent to circumvent eviction regulations and force a tenant out. It’s predatory, and it’s not allowed in San Francisco,” Herrera said in a statement. “I’m pleased we were able to protect San Francisco’s common-sense regulations that prohibit this dangerous ploy — particularly given the economic and health threats we’re all facing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"San Francisco Superior Court Judge Charles F. Haines\"]‘While the conduct prohibited by the ordinance takes the form of a rent increase, in substance it is an eviction.’[/pullquote]The law, authored by San Francisco Supervisor Hillary Ronen, says that any rent increase specifically intended to “defraud, intimidate, or coerce the tenant” into vacating a rental unit would qualify as tenant harassment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some tests of whether or not a rental increase constitutes harassment include rent increases “in excess of market rates for comparable units,” or if a rent increase came within six months after a landlord tried to evict a tenant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Apartment Association, the San Francisco Association of Realtors and the Small Property Owners of San Francisco Institute sued to overturn the rent-hike ban a month after it was approved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Apartment Association could not be reached for comment, and it is unclear if they will appeal the case. The San Francisco Association of Realtors did not immediately return a request for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco can’t impose rent control on single-family homes due to the state \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displayText.xhtml?lawCode=CIV&division=3.&title=5.&part=4.&chapter=2.7.&article\">Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act\u003c/a>, but the city can mandate eviction protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco Superior Court Judge Charles F. Haines’s ruling, he argued the 2019 rent-hike law constitutes an eviction protection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While the conduct prohibited by the ordinance takes the form of a rent increase, in substance it is an eviction,” Judge Haines wrote. His argument also mirrored Ronen’s: “Plaintiffs point to nothing that indicates the Legislature intended to elevate form over substance in this way and allow the use of such artifice to evade applicable laws.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='eviction-moratorium']While the various landlord and realtor groups suing did not comment on this development, individual landlords told the Board of Supervisors why they opposed the law in a December 2018 City Hall hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wendy Wong, from the San Francisco Coalition for Good Neighborhoods, said “we understand there are hardships for tenants, but you should know we also have hardship from the landlord side. There are so many harassment cases.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Especially in San Francisco, Wong argued, city leaders have been “extreme” in applying laws to limit the rights of small property owners, which often lead to “extremely expensive” lawsuits filed by tenants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But another commenter at the 2018 hearing, Kyle Retzik, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Supervisor-moves-to-strengthen-renter-protections-13061283.php\">who was profiled by the San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/a>, said real estate companies who were unknown to him bought his property and tried to evict him and his family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After he fought the eviction legally and won, he said they immediately doubled his rent, which he framed as an effort to push his family out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joseph Tobener, a local tenant attorney, said Monday that he doesn’t expect landlords will stop hiking rents to pressure tenants to leave. But he does think the newly won law will give tenants another way to fight back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

That law bars landlords of single-family homes from raising a tenant’s rent to an exorbitant amount in order to “circumvent” eviction protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City Attorney Dennis Herrera hailed the decision as a win for tenants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It shocks the conscience to think a landlord would double or triple somebody’s rent to circumvent eviction regulations and force a tenant out. It’s predatory, and it’s not allowed in San Francisco,” Herrera said in a statement. “I’m pleased we were able to protect San Francisco’s common-sense regulations that prohibit this dangerous ploy — particularly given the economic and health threats we’re all facing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
