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.",

Jerry Brown and its Democratic backers\u003c/a> as a key to restoring the state’s transportation infrastructure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill — now law — includes a 12-cent-a-gallon increase in the state’s levy on gasoline, a 20-cent-a-gallon increase on diesel fuel, a new fee for electric vehicles and other levies designed to generate about $5 billion a year for the next decade. That revenue, something like $52 billion over 10 years, would go to fixing streets, highways and bridges and to supporting transit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But just one Republican in the Legislature voted for SB 1, and the tax hikes were nearly instantly targeted by a pair of repeal campaigns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of those two efforts, \u003ca href=\"https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/california-assemblyman-travis-allen-files-ballot-initiative-to-repeal-california-gas-tax-increase-300452235.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">launched by\u003c/a> GOP Assemblyman Travis Allen of Huntington Beach, would kill SB 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.oag.ca.gov/system/files/initiatives/pdfs/17-0033%20%28Gas%20and%20Car%20Tax%29_1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The second\u003c/a>, by Sacramento attorney \u003ca href=\"http://www.mcgeorge.edu/Thomas_Hiltachk.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Thomas Hiltachk\u003c/a>, would repeal SB 1 and amend the California Constitution to require a statewide vote on any future fuel tax or vehicle fee increases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given Californians’ historic resentment of gas and car taxes — Gov. Gray Davis was \u003ca href=\"https://www.ocregister.com/2017/04/18/car-tax-zapped-gray-davis-but-new-ones-wont-touch-brown/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recalled in 2003\u003c/a> in part because of a sharp increase in vehicle fees — it’s not hard to imagine a call for repeal finding a receptive audience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And \u003ca href=\"https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4335375/UC-Berkeley-IGS-Poll-Gas-Tax-Repeal.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a poll\u003c/a> released Friday by UC Berkeley’s Institute of Governmental Studies confirms that suspicion. (The full survey is \u003ca href=\"#igsrepealpoll\">embedded below\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poll conducted earlier this month found 52 percent of likely voters contacted in the survey favor the repeal effort, while 43 percent oppose the repeal. The undecideds are an unusually low 5 percent.

"content": "\u003cp>It's hard to get 85 percent of people to agree on anything -- even whether \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2014/02/14/277058739/1-in-4-americans-think-the-sun-goes-around-the-earth-survey-says\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the Earth goes around the sun\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But 85 is the percentage of people in a new Metropolitan Transportation Commission poll who agree traffic has gotten worse here in the past year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That widely shared perception of traffic congestion misery probably explains the main finding of the MTC poll: Regional Measure 3, a toll increase proposal likely headed for the June ballot in the nine Bay Area counties, enjoys solid majority support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>RM3 would authorize toll hikes of up to $3 on the region's seven state-owned bridges (the Antioch, Bay, Benicia, Carquinez, Dumbarton, Richmond-San Rafael and San Mateo spans). The expected $4.45 billion in new revenue over the next 25 years would help pay for about three dozen transit and highway projects throughout the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poll released Wednesday, conducted by Oakland-based EMC Research between Nov. 27 and Dec. 11, asked respondents about three different scenarios: a $1 toll increase that would take effect in 2019; a $2 hike, with the second dollar taking effect in 2023 ; and a $3 rise, with the third dollar taking effect in 2027. (See EMC's \u003ca href=\"#rm3poll\">poll presentation\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"#rm3questions\">questions\u003c/a> at end of post.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the way, that last option already has what might turn out to be a campaign nickname: \"One plus one plus one.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The survey found regional support for all three options, with 56 percent saying they'd support the $1 hike, 57 percent supporting the $2 increase and 52 percent backing the $3 rise. Those numbers were higher when respondents had heard more about what the tolls would pay for: 60 percent said they'd vote for a $1 or $3 increase, with 64 percent backing the $2 increase. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The toll increases also appear to enjoy substantial support among those who would be paying them every day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poll found that frequent toll payers -- those who use the bridges at least once a week -- back all three increase scenarios with at least 55 percent backing. The same held true for occasional toll payers and those who rarely or never cross the bridges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think it's fair to say we were pleasantly surprised by the degree of support,\" Jake Mackenzie, a Rohnert Park City Council member who represents Sonoma County and serves as MTC chair, said after a public workshop on Regional Measure 3 on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he felt that the apparent backing of the toll increases reflects public understanding that the Bay Area will need to pay its own way for transportation improvements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I’m not sure what help we’re going to continue to get from the federal government -- they talk about an infrastructure bill,\" Mackenzie said. \"But this is basically self-help Bay Area, self-help California.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>RM3 would require a simple regional majority to pass -- 50 percent plus one vote among all ballots cast in the nine-county region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The toll plan was most popular in Alameda, San Francisco and San Mateo counties, with 60 percent or more saying yes to the $1 and $2 scenarios and between 52 and 59 percent supporting a $3 increase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's substantially less enthusiasm for the increases in three counties: Contra Costa, Napa and Solano.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some elected officials in Contra Costa, including Rep.

The expected $4.45 billion in new revenue over the next 25 years would help pay for about three dozen transit and highway projects throughout the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poll released Wednesday, conducted by Oakland-based EMC Research between Nov. 27 and Dec. 11, asked respondents about three different scenarios: a $1 toll increase that would take effect in 2019; a $2 hike, with the second dollar taking effect in 2023 ; and a $3 rise, with the third dollar taking effect in 2027. (See EMC's \u003ca href=\"#rm3poll\">poll presentation\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"#rm3questions\">questions\u003c/a> at end of post.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Those numbers were higher when respondents had heard more about what the tolls would pay for: 60 percent said they'd vote for a $1 or $3 increase, with 64 percent backing the $2 increase. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The toll increases also appear to enjoy substantial support among those who would be paying them every day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poll found that frequent toll payers -- those who use the bridges at least once a week -- back all three increase scenarios with at least 55 percent backing. The same held true for occasional toll payers and those who rarely or never cross the bridges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think it's fair to say we were pleasantly surprised by the degree of support,\" Jake Mackenzie, a Rohnert Park City Council member who represents Sonoma County and serves as MTC chair, said after a public workshop on Regional Measure 3 on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he felt that the apparent backing of the toll increases reflects public understanding that the Bay Area will need to pay its own way for transportation improvements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I’m not sure what help we’re going to continue to get from the federal government -- they talk about an infrastructure bill,\" Mackenzie said. \"But this is basically self-help Bay Area, self-help California.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>RM3 would require a simple regional majority to pass -- 50 percent plus one vote among all ballots cast in the nine-county region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The toll plan was most popular in Alameda, San Francisco and San Mateo counties, with 60 percent or more saying yes to the $1 and $2 scenarios and between 52 and 59 percent supporting a $3 increase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's substantially less enthusiasm for the increases in three counties: Contra Costa, Napa and Solano.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some elected officials in Contra Costa, including Rep. Mark DeSaulnier and Assemblyman Tim Grayson, have argued that East Bay residents will pay significantly more in increased tolls than their communities will get back in benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The MTC poll found that just 44 percent of Contra Costa respondents would support a $3 toll increase, while 46 percent would back a $1 bump and 47 percent a $2 hike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Napa/Solano respondents were similarly cool to the toll increases, with support for the increases in the 42 percent to 46 percent range.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hybrid telephone-web poll included responses from 4,151 people who identified themselves as likely to vote in the June 2018 primary.

She was always there for her daughter, for her mom, for me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Sunday afternoon, Saw and other relatives gathered by the Bay Bridge Toll Plaza for a traditional Buddhist ceremony.

But when I became a (U.S.) citizen, I went back to my country and married her,” said Saw, a post office worker in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Han moved to the U.S., the couple lived in Daly City, near Saw’s relatives. It was difficult for Han to adapt at first, he said. She worried she wouldn’t be happy in her adopted country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Han took English lessons and got an accounting degree from Skyline College in San Bruno. Those experiences helped change her outlook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She met a lot of friends,” said Saw, from San Lorenzo. He added that while Han had initially insisted the couple go back to Myanmar for their retirement, she later decided to make the Bay Area their permanent home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Han was enrolled at Skyline from 2003 to 2006, said Cherie Colin, a spokeswoman for the college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our deepest condolences go out to her family and friends on this tremendous loss to our community,” said Colin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11635413\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11635413\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28355_IMG_1200-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28355_IMG_1200-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28355_IMG_1200-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28355_IMG_1200-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28355_IMG_1200-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28355_IMG_1200-qut-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28355_IMG_1200-qut-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28355_IMG_1200-qut-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28355_IMG_1200-qut-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28355_IMG_1200-qut-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ashin Nanikabhivamsa, a monk at the Mudita Shwe Kyaung temple, in Hayward, on Dec. 5, 2017.

It usually comes from diesel trucks, but ships, diesel trains, vehicles, residential wood fires and even certain types of cooking can also release black carbon. It can worsen asthma and heart disease.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Nitric Oxide (NO):\u003c/strong> A gas emitted by power plants, vehicles, aircraft, ships, trains, soils, nitrogen fertilizers, the burning of biomass and gas-fired appliances. High levels can irritate skin, eyes and mucous membranes, triggering coughing fits and a burning sensation in the chest.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2)\u003c/strong> : A gas released by burning fuel, forest fires and emissions from vehicles, power plants and off-road equipment. Breathing NO2 also irritates the lungs. When NO2 combines with other chemicals in the atmosphere it can lead to acid rain.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1) Travel by Light Rail\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My trip on BART from Oakland to San Francisco offered the best air. In general, the Air Board found electrically powered light rail to be the cleanest mode of transportation. That's likely because the trains themselves do not release any exhaust. However, the researchers cautioned the results may be different if the route is near a freeway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2) Set the AC to Recirculate\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My car trip was the second best. The Air Board said turning the air-conditioning on and setting it to recirculate (versus pulling in air from outside) can reduce pollution levels by up to 75 percent. In other words, roll up your windows and prevent as much air as possible from entering when driving through congestion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3) Cycle On Bike Paths\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As an avid cyclist, I was disappointed to learn that I was exposed to the dirtiest air while on two wheels. I'm going to try to find a less congested route because the Air Board says you can greatly reduce air pollution simply by cycling a block off a busy road or on bike paths away from heavy traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4) Avoid Exhaust\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Researchers found that commuters taking diesel trains were exposed to the worst air over other modes of transportation. It's best to avoid older diesel-powered trains that push rail cars, which were worse than engines that pulled cars. If you must take an older train, try to get a seat in a cabin away from the locomotive engine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5) Check the Air Forecast\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Air quality can change day-by-day and block-by-block. It's a good idea to check the current pollution levels before deciding what mode of transportation to take. You can check your neighborhood at \u003ca href=\"https://airnow.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">airnow.gov\u003c/a>, or \u003ca href=\"http://sparetheair.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sparetheair.org. \u003c/a>This is especially important when there is a wildfire burning in the region or a temperature inversion layer puts a lid on the area, preventing pollutants from escaping.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6) Carpool\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sharing a vehicle not only shortens the trip because you can zip along in the carpool lane, it also means you're on the road for less time breathing bad air. Plus carpooling is a win for everyone because it means fewer cars are on the road spewing emissions and adding to congestion.\u003c/p>\n\n",

It can worsen asthma and heart disease.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Nitric Oxide (NO):\u003c/strong> A gas emitted by power plants, vehicles, aircraft, ships, trains, soils, nitrogen fertilizers, the burning of biomass and gas-fired appliances. High levels can irritate skin, eyes and mucous membranes, triggering coughing fits and a burning sensation in the chest.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2)\u003c/strong> : A gas released by burning fuel, forest fires and emissions from vehicles, power plants and off-road equipment. Breathing NO2 also irritates the lungs. When NO2 combines with other chemicals in the atmosphere it can lead to acid rain.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1) Travel by Light Rail\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My trip on BART from Oakland to San Francisco offered the best air. In general, the Air Board found electrically powered light rail to be the cleanest mode of transportation. That's likely because the trains themselves do not release any exhaust. However, the researchers cautioned the results may be different if the route is near a freeway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2) Set the AC to Recirculate\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My car trip was the second best. The Air Board said turning the air-conditioning on and setting it to recirculate (versus pulling in air from outside) can reduce pollution levels by up to 75 percent. In other words, roll up your windows and prevent as much air as possible from entering when driving through congestion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3) Cycle On Bike Paths\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As an avid cyclist, I was disappointed to learn that I was exposed to the dirtiest air while on two wheels. I'm going to try to find a less congested route because the Air Board says you can greatly reduce air pollution simply by cycling a block off a busy road or on bike paths away from heavy traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4) Avoid Exhaust\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Researchers found that commuters taking diesel trains were exposed to the worst air over other modes of transportation. It's best to avoid older diesel-powered trains that push rail cars, which were worse than engines that pulled cars. If you must take an older train, try to get a seat in a cabin away from the locomotive engine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5) Check the Air Forecast\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Air quality can change day-by-day and block-by-block. It's a good idea to check the current pollution levels before deciding what mode of transportation to take. You can check your neighborhood at \u003ca href=\"https://airnow.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">airnow.gov\u003c/a>, or \u003ca href=\"http://sparetheair.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sparetheair.org. \u003c/a>This is especially important when there is a wildfire burning in the region or a temperature inversion layer puts a lid on the area, preventing pollutants from escaping.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6) Carpool\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sharing a vehicle not only shortens the trip because you can zip along in the carpool lane, it also means you're on the road for less time breathing bad air. Plus carpooling is a win for everyone because it means fewer cars are on the road spewing emissions and adding to congestion.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
