"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.",

District Attorney Stephen Wagstaffe ultimately threw the charges out, saying there was “no basis to believe any violation of law had occurred.”[aside postID=news_12052795 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/20231211-San-Mateo-Sheriff-009-JY_qed-1020x680.jpg']Since then, other deputies — including Capt.

That includes high-ranking members whom Corpus recruited to join her office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This spring, 84% of voters approved a temporary charter amendment that allowed the county to initiate the formal removal process of Corpus. This was possible because San Mateo County is one of California’s 14 charter counties — which have broader power for the election and removal of some municipal officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The process requires a four-fifths vote by the county board after providing the affected person with written notice and a chance to respond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While other counties have gone through parts of that process — Los Angeles County in 2022 voted to use the authority but didn’t need to because then-Sheriff Alex Villanueva lost his reelection bid, and San Francisco supervisors didn’t get enough votes in 2012 to oust then-Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi — San Mateo County was the first to bring the issue to a vote and initiate the appeal hearings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corpus appealed the board’s decision, and 10 days of hearings were held before Emerson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12045700\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12045700\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/20231211-San-Mateo-Sheriff-021-JY_qed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/20231211-San-Mateo-Sheriff-021-JY_qed.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/20231211-San-Mateo-Sheriff-021-JY_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/20231211-San-Mateo-Sheriff-021-JY_qed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A San Mateo County Sheriff’s Department squad car is seen in Redwood City, California, on Dec. 11, 2023. \u003ccite>(Juliana Yamada/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There was credible evidence, Emerson wrote in his opinion, that Corpus and Aenlle were “in a romantic extra-marital relationship preceding appellant Sheriff Corpus’s election to office and continuing thereafter.” Emerson also found that Corpus had Tapia arrested because of his protected activity as the head of the deputy union, and Corpus retaliated against Philips after he legally refused to arrest Tapia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following Emerson’s findings, Corpus \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/SheriffCorpus22/status/1975362090463600756/photo/1\">tweeted a press release\u003c/a> on Oct. 6 that she had reached out to California Attorney General Rob Bonta, requesting he intervene in the removal proceedings, calling them “unconstitutional, corrupt, and fundamentally unfair.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the removal process is allowed to proceed, no elected sheriff in California will be safe from political retaliation,” the release stated. “The danger isn’t just to me.

Steve Padilla, D-San Diego, which placed softer limits on AI chatbots for kids. Advocacy groups, including Common Sense Media and \u003ca href=\"https://techoversight.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/SB-243-Remove-Support.pdf\">Tech Oversight California\u003c/a>, pulled their support from the bill in mid-September, arguing industry-friendly amendments weakened it and could establish a “dangerous” precedent for other states and countries taking California’s lead on AI regulation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a similar vein, Newsom signed an \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12058013/newsom-signs-california-ai-transparency-bill-tailored-to-meet-tech-industry-tastes\">industry-friendly version\u003c/a> of SB-53 by Sen.

The expanded private right of action is considered a notable strength when most other AI bills rely on regulatory enforcement, penalties, or agency reporting to sway business practices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steyer said he was happy to see Newsom’s signature on AB 56, which supporters say will require first-in-the-nation warning labels on social media, similar to what California has mandated on packaging for alcohol and cigarettes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s clear that Gov. Newsom, and also the first partner, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, who’s heavily involved in all this legislation, have listened to parents, and advocacy groups around the state,” Steyer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Truth-telling and collective healing are essential steps toward reconciliation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s current reparations proposals \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11916026/no-the-reparations-task-force-report-isnt-a-watershed-moment-action-will-be\">stem from recommendations\u003c/a> made by the state’s Reparations Task Force in a 2023 report. That 1,100-page document detailed how California lawmakers and institutions advanced the cause of slavery in the state’s early days and discriminated against Black residents in the decades that followed. The task force was created in 2020 when Newsom signed \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/ab3121\">Assembly Bill 3121\u003c/a>, following a wave of national activism after the murder of George Floyd.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, Newsom’s enthusiasm for the task force’s full slate of recommendations has cooled. While he has supported symbolic measures, like a formal state apology for slavery and systemic racism, he has resisted the idea of providing cash payments to eligible descendants, arguing that reparations must involve more than direct checks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year’s legislative session ended in frustration for many advocates after disagreements within the Black Caucus and late amendments requested by Newsom derailed a proposal to create a similar agency. The governor later vetoed a bill to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11999415/california-reparations-\">compensate victims of racially motivated property seizures\u003c/a>, saying there was no state entity to manage such a program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those setbacks \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12002804/centerpiece-reparations-bill-derailed-by-newsoms-late-request-heres-why\">galvanized activists\u003c/a>. At the close of the 2024 session, more than 8,500 letters were delivered to Newsom urging him to support a slate of reparations bills. The caucus responded this year with its “Road to Repair” agenda — a rebranded package of measures that avoided the politically charged term “reparations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, advocates say California’s new agency represents a foundation — not a finish line. Its future depends on funding, legislation and political will. Still, for the first time, the state has a structure in place to make good on its promises. As Holder put it, “We cannot move forward as one human family until we confront the harm, acknowledge the debt and take tangible action to repair what has been done.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/otaylor\">\u003cem>Otis R.

That 1,100-page document detailed how California lawmakers and institutions advanced the cause of slavery in the state’s early days and discriminated against Black residents in the decades that followed. The task force was created in 2020 when Newsom signed \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/ab3121\">Assembly Bill 3121\u003c/a>, following a wave of national activism after the murder of George Floyd.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, Newsom’s enthusiasm for the task force’s full slate of recommendations has cooled. While he has supported symbolic measures, like a formal state apology for slavery and systemic racism, he has resisted the idea of providing cash payments to eligible descendants, arguing that reparations must involve more than direct checks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year’s legislative session ended in frustration for many advocates after disagreements within the Black Caucus and late amendments requested by Newsom derailed a proposal to create a similar agency.

At the close of the 2024 session, more than 8,500 letters were delivered to Newsom urging him to support a slate of reparations bills. The caucus responded this year with its “Road to Repair” agenda — a rebranded package of measures that avoided the politically charged term “reparations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, advocates say California’s new agency represents a foundation — not a finish line. Its future depends on funding, legislation and political will. Still, for the first time, the state has a structure in place to make good on its promises. As Holder put it, “We cannot move forward as one human family until we confront the harm, acknowledge the debt and take tangible action to repair what has been done.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/otaylor\">\u003cem>Otis R.

It definitely changed my perspective on being worthy of having a bachelor’s degree,” said Perez Rojas, who hopes to use her business background to serve the Latino community. “I want to promote, hopefully, more Latinx students to come to Saint Mary’s, but also to foster that idea that you are important, you are known and you can be safe here.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",
