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.",

"title": "Federal Regulators Want Musk Held in Contempt for Pair of Tesla Tweets",
"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>Tesla CEO Elon Musk's tweeting habits have triggered another legal challenge from stock market regulators worried about him using his Twitter account to mislead investors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The latest dust-up emerged late Monday when the Securities and Exchange Commission asked a federal court in New York to hold Musk in contempt for violating a $40 million settlement he begrudgingly reached with the U.S. stock market's chief regulatory agency five months ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allegations that Musk broke the agreement could renew a debate about whether he has become too reckless to continue as Tesla. This even though many analysts still consider his vision to be instrumental to the future success of the electric car maker he co-founded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla's stock dropped about 4 percent in after-hours trading Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contempt charges are typically brought against individuals who defy a court order. The SEC settlement was approved by a judge last fall, exposing Musk to potential fines or even jail time if he is found to be in contempt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla didn't immediately respond to requests for comment about the SEC's latest move. But letters from the company's attorneys included in Monday's filing argue that Musk remains in compliance with the settlement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The SEC had sued Musk last September for using his Twitter account in August to announce he had secured financing for a potential buyout of Tesla — news that caused the company's stock to swing wildly. He later backed off that buyout idea, but regulators concluded he never had lined up the money to pull off the deal that probably would have required at least $25 billion to pull off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Musk initially contended that he hadn't done anything wrong before reluctantly agreeing to have future tweets that could affect Tesla's stock be pre-approved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now the SEC is alleging that Musk broke the terms of that agreement with a Feb. 19 tweet projecting that Tesla would make about 500,000 cars this year. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About four hours after that tweet, Musk altered his statement, saying he meant that Tesla had started to manufacture cars at a weekly clip that would translate into an annualized production rate of 500,000 cars, with 400,000 delivered in calendar 2019.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1098080063801585664\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Musk acknowledged he didn't get company approval for the initial Feb. 19 tweet, according to the SEC, even though car manufacturing statistics can affect stock prices of automakers. In his defense, Musk said he didn't think his tweet needed clearance because he was basing the information that had been disclosed in late January. Both Feb. 19 tweets occurred while the U.S. stock market was closed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But those factors evidently didn't sway the SEC, which illustrated Musk's allegedly contemptuous behavior with some of the comments he made during a television interview with \"60 Minutes\" that aired last Dec. 9.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In that interview, Musk said no one at Tesla was screening the tweets he posts to his account, which now has 25 million followers. When pressed how Tesla officials could know whether his tweets might be violating the SEC settlement if they weren't reading them before they were posted, Musk replied: \"Well, I guess we might make some mistakes. Who knows?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The SEC also pointed out that during the same interview, Musk declared: \"I want to be clear. I do not respect the SEC. I do not respect them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla's legal team realized Musk may have crossed a line with his Feb. 19 tweet about car manufacturing, according to the SEC. After that tweet posted, a Tesla lawyer \"immediately arranged to meet with Musk and draft the corrective statement that Musk tweeted out over four hours later.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

This even though many analysts still consider his vision to be instrumental to the future success of the electric car maker he co-founded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla's stock dropped about 4 percent in after-hours trading Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contempt charges are typically brought against individuals who defy a court order.

He later backed off that buyout idea, but regulators concluded he never had lined up the money to pull off the deal that probably would have required at least $25 billion to pull off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Musk initially contended that he hadn't done anything wrong before reluctantly agreeing to have future tweets that could affect Tesla's stock be pre-approved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now the SEC is alleging that Musk broke the terms of that agreement with a Feb. 19 tweet projecting that Tesla would make about 500,000 cars this year. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About four hours after that tweet, Musk altered his statement, saying he meant that Tesla had started to manufacture cars at a weekly clip that would translate into an annualized production rate of 500,000 cars, with 400,000 delivered in calendar 2019.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It’s unprecedented.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Art Bauer, a former senior staffer with the state Senate Transportation Committee who was involved in crafting the language for the state's 2008 high-speed rail ballot measure, said he was \"unfamiliar with any precedent\" for such a funding withdrawal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Certainly, in my 25 or 30 years of being involved in transportation policy development in the state, I'm unfamiliar with the idea of canceling a grant,\" Bauer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bauer said that the state could have a problem hanging onto the $929 million grant because it hadn't yet filed for reimbursement of some work already done on the rail project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The way the grants work is you do a piece of work, then you file a claim with the Department of Transportation for reimbursement, and the grant money flows to you at that point,\" Bauer said. \"Evidently, the state has not done that. So I guess if you're sitting in Washington and you're looking at this $930 million or whatever it is, and you say, 'Well, no one's used this money,' ... and you may feel, 'We can withdraw the money, we can withdraw their ability to claim the money.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bauer predicted it will take months, at least, to unravel what happens to the funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal rail agency's letter alleged that the High-Speed Rail Authority has failed to meet certain funding and accounting requirements for work on the bullet train project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The letter also said a review of the authority's documents led federal officials to conclude that the rail authority \"has failed to make reasonable progress\" on the project's initial segment in the San Joaquin Valley -- leading the federal agency to declare the work cannot be completed by the December 2022 deadline set by grant agreements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, a strong proponent of public transportation in general, said the Trump administration's criticism of the high-speed rail project is disingenuous at best.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's Donald Trump's allies in the Central Valley who have done everything in their power to slow down the land acquisition and the other logistical steps to build the project,\" Wiener said. \"So this project has been so politicized by Trump's own colleagues in the Republican Party who are opposing the project that it's hard for him to say, 'Well you didn't do it quickly enough.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Newsom may have put the high-speed rail project in the crosshairs by taunting Trump in his State of the State speech last week, Wiener wouldn't criticize the Democratic governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The governor said what he said and I believe what he was expressing was ... let's just finish the backbone of the system in the Central Valley.

His office said he still plans to complete the full line, although he said the current plan would cost too much and take too long.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He's pledged to continue environmental work on the full line, which is required to keep the federal money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congress nearly a decade ago approved the $929 million that Trump wants to cancel. The state has not started spending that money. But it has already spent the extra $2.5 billion that Trump now wants back. It's unclear if the federal government can demand that money back before the 2022 deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. Department of Transportation said it is \"actively exploring every legal option\" to get back the money.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Gavin Newsom announced Tuesday he's shelving a plan to build a high-speed rail line between Los Angeles and San Francisco -- while still suggesting a statewide bullet-train network could be completed someday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Let's be real,\" Newsom said in \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11725616/gov-gavin-newsom-gives-first-state-of-the-state-address\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">his first State of the State address\u003c/a>. \"The current project, as planned, would cost too much and respectfully take too long. There's been too little oversight and not enough transparency.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added: \"Right now, there simply isn’t a path to get from Sacramento to San Diego, let alone from San Francisco to L.A. I wish there were.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea long championed by former Gov. Jerry Brown is years behind schedule. The latest estimate for completion of the project, now with a projected cost of $77 billion, is 2033.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom said he wants to continue construction of a 150-mile high-speed link from Merced to Bakersfield in the San Joaquin Valley. He says completing the line, which broke ground several years ago, could bring economic and quality-of-life benefits to a region he said had \"suffered too many years of neglect from policymakers here in Sacramento.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Answering high-speed rail opponents, who have demanded the state simply cancel what they characterize as an expensive boondoggle, Newsom said simply walking away from the project would require the state to return $3.5 billion in federal dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor did leave open the possibility that the Central Valley portion will someday be connected to destinations in Northern and Southern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Look, we will continue our regional projects north and south,\" Newsom said. \"We’ll finish Phase 1 environmental work. We’ll connect the revitalized Central Valley to other parts of the state, and continue to push for more federal funding and private dollars. But let’s just get something done.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reaction to Newsom's announcement was mixed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco state Sen. Scott Wiener, a high-speed rail and transit proponent, said on Twitter during the speech he believed Newsom had actually made a commitment to building the L.A.-S.F. rail link.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/Scott_Wiener/status/1095403520117731328\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Rebecca Saltzman, a BART board member from Berkeley, called Newsom's announcement \"very concerning\" and that the governor's future intentions were \"unclear.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/RebeccaForBART/status/1095403807297679360\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bullet-train project was created in 2008 by Proposition 1A, a $10 billion bond meant to fund initial planning, engineering and construction of an 800-mile high-speed rail network connecting San Diego and Los Angeles to the Bay Area and Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vision was for a project that would attract substantial private investment. But that private interest was slow to materialize, and meantime, the project has been beset by numerous court challenges and resistance from communities and landowners who would be impacted by the bullet train's construction and operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two major Bay Area transportation projects are intimately tied to the high-speed rail project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caltrain, the commuter rail line from Santa Clara County to San Francisco, is using state high-speed rail money along with federal grants and other funds for a $2 billion project to electrify and modernize its service. Planning for high-speed rail has assumed that future bullet trains would use the Caltrain route into San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caltrain noted in a statement after Newsom's address that the state is providing nearly $900 million to the modernization project -- about 80 percent of that coming from the California High-Speed Rail Authority. The project, which includes buying new cars, is scheduled to be completed in 2022.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Caltrain and bullet train routes have been envisioned as terminating at the Transbay Transit Center in downtown San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Planning is underway for a tunnel that would allow the trains to run under Mission Bay and South of Market to the center, where preliminary construction for underground rail platforms has already taken place. Current estimates put the overall cost of the extension at $6 billion, with completion in 2027.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Randy Rentschler, director of legislation and public affairs for the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, said Newsom's announcement was a surprise. He said that a statewide bullet-train network still made sense and will come together \"in incremental segments\" -- much like the nation's interstate highway system did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"High-speed rail is very important to the Bay Area,\" Rentschler said. \"For high-speed rail to work, unlike airports, it's got to connect a transit-rich community like the Bay Area with a transit-rich community like Los Angeles. That's the end game.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Clarification:\u003c/strong> This story originally stated that Gov. Gavin Newsom had \"abandoned\" and \"pulled the plug on\" a high-speed rail connection between San Francisco and Los Angeles. The original copy has been edited to reflect the governor's further remarks that such a line might be completed in the future.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story includes reporting from The Associated Press.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

But that private interest was slow to materialize, and meantime, the project has been beset by numerous court challenges and resistance from communities and landowners who would be impacted by the bullet train's construction and operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two major Bay Area transportation projects are intimately tied to the high-speed rail project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caltrain, the commuter rail line from Santa Clara County to San Francisco, is using state high-speed rail money along with federal grants and other funds for a $2 billion project to electrify and modernize its service. Planning for high-speed rail has assumed that future bullet trains would use the Caltrain route into San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caltrain noted in a statement after Newsom's address that the state is providing nearly $900 million to the modernization project -- about 80 percent of that coming from the California High-Speed Rail Authority. The project, which includes buying new cars, is scheduled to be completed in 2022.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Caltrain and bullet train routes have been envisioned as terminating at the Transbay Transit Center in downtown San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Planning is underway for a tunnel that would allow the trains to run under Mission Bay and South of Market to the center, where preliminary construction for underground rail platforms has already taken place. Current estimates put the overall cost of the extension at $6 billion, with completion in 2027.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Randy Rentschler, director of legislation and public affairs for the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, said Newsom's announcement was a surprise. He said that a statewide bullet-train network still made sense and will come together \"in incremental segments\" -- much like the nation's interstate highway system did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"High-speed rail is very important to the Bay Area,\" Rentschler said. \"For high-speed rail to work, unlike airports, it's got to connect a transit-rich community like the Bay Area with a transit-rich community like Los Angeles. That's the end game.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Clarification:\u003c/strong> This story originally stated that Gov. Gavin Newsom had \"abandoned\" and \"pulled the plug on\" a high-speed rail connection between San Francisco and Los Angeles. The original copy has been edited to reflect the governor's further remarks that such a line might be completed in the future.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story includes reporting from The Associated Press.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
