SB881 also directs the DMV to restore driving privileges to Californians with traffic debt due to minor offenses by July 2017. Under a recent amendment, drivers would no longer have to request the DMV to get their licenses back. The legislation does not include violations related to driving under the influence or reckless driving.

Bob Hertzberg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill, \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/15-16/bill/sen/sb_0851-0900/sb_881_bill_20160115_introduced.html\" target=\"_blank\">SB881\u003c/a>, would also allow the DMV to restore driving privileges to potentially millions of Californians with unpaid traffic tickets for minor violations. Eligible drivers would have to submit a request to the department to regain their license.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's just certain kinds of minor offenses where you shouldn't lose your license, because the license is just too important to your livelihood,\" said Hertzberg (D-Van Nuys), adding that his bill aims to fix this part of the criminal justice system to \"align the nature of the harm with the nature of the punishment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If someone gets a broken tail light or something like that, should they lose their license? Our answer is no. But if they are caught drunk driving, should they lose their license?

Jerry Brown has characterized the system that leads to drivers losing their licenses because they can’t pay fines or fail to appear in court as a “hellhole of desperation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That hellhole of desperation includes the permanent loss of a car for some drivers with suspended licenses. If law enforcement catches a driver at the wheel with a revoked license, they may impound the driver's vehicle for a statutory 30-day period, even if the initial violations that resulted in the license suspension were minor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, over two-thirds of the 439,750 court-ordered suspensions in 2014 were related to non-DUI offenses, according to the DMV.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A KQED/Peninsula Press \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/06/17/in-menlo-park-many-lose-cars-after-driving-with-suspended-license\" target=\"_blank\">investigation\u003c/a> found that in the Silicon Valley city of Menlo Park, DUI offenses are related to just 15 percent of the suspended license citations since 2008. More than half of the cars Menlo Park police impounded in those incidents were never recovered by owners, possibly due to the city's steep 30-day impound charges -- with a minimum price tag of $2,300 -- that owners must pay mostly to towing companies to get their cars back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem is statewide, as towing companies are seeing a big drop in the number of owners retrieving their vehicles after a 30-day impound, the investigation found.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, uncollected court-ordered debt for traffic and criminal offenses adds up to an estimated $10.2 billion, according to the Legislative Analyst’s Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Hertzberg says allowing drivers with minor violations to keep their licenses could help the state recover some of that money, because drivers could drive legally to work and earn a living.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We would actually gain money for the system and at the same time create a sense of fairness for folks,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>State Could Still Use Debt Collectors, Amnesty Program\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if drivers are allowed to keep their driver's licenses, will they still pay their traffic tickets? Hertzberg says yes. Under SB881, courts could still contract with private debt collectors to accrue delinquent debt. Other collection measures include placing liens on a debtor's real estate property, and garnishing wages and bank accounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A statewide \u003ca href=\"http://www.courts.ca.gov/trafficamnesty.htm\" target=\"_blank\">traffic amnesty\u003c/a> program that will continue through March 31, 2017, also aims to recover some of that debt. Depending on income, drivers with traffic infractions before 2013 will get their debt reduced by 50 to 80 percent and get their licenses reinstated if they sign up to pay that reduced amount.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Janet Campos, a mother of two from Hayward, found out she does not qualify for amnesty because her traffic violations occurred after 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"S9tY4nx9VriLhENAKr5iIfWQZDXlLu2Z\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos, an administrative assistant at a home insurance company, says that losing her driving privilege has become a huge burden: traveling 20 miles to her job takes a lot longer by public transportation than driving. Not being able to legally drive also makes it harder to get groceries on rainy days and pick up her two kids from school. Transportation became such a tough issue for her family that she had to pull her children from baseball practice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Right now they are not in sports because I can't drive them anywhere,\" said Campos, 33.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To get her license back, Campos says she would have to pay more than $2,300 in fines that have been tacked on to the original cost of her traffic ticket.

Our answer is no. But if they are caught drunk driving, should they lose their license?

Jerry Brown has characterized the system that leads to drivers losing their licenses because they can’t pay fines or fail to appear in court as a “hellhole of desperation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That hellhole of desperation includes the permanent loss of a car for some drivers with suspended licenses. If law enforcement catches a driver at the wheel with a revoked license, they may impound the driver's vehicle for a statutory 30-day period, even if the initial violations that resulted in the license suspension were minor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, over two-thirds of the 439,750 court-ordered suspensions in 2014 were related to non-DUI offenses, according to the DMV.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A KQED/Peninsula Press \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/06/17/in-menlo-park-many-lose-cars-after-driving-with-suspended-license\" target=\"_blank\">investigation\u003c/a> found that in the Silicon Valley city of Menlo Park, DUI offenses are related to just 15 percent of the suspended license citations since 2008. More than half of the cars Menlo Park police impounded in those incidents were never recovered by owners, possibly due to the city's steep 30-day impound charges -- with a minimum price tag of $2,300 -- that owners must pay mostly to towing companies to get their cars back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem is statewide, as towing companies are seeing a big drop in the number of owners retrieving their vehicles after a 30-day impound, the investigation found.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, uncollected court-ordered debt for traffic and criminal offenses adds up to an estimated $10.2 billion, according to the Legislative Analyst’s Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Hertzberg says allowing drivers with minor violations to keep their licenses could help the state recover some of that money, because drivers could drive legally to work and earn a living.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We would actually gain money for the system and at the same time create a sense of fairness for folks,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>State Could Still Use Debt Collectors, Amnesty Program\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if drivers are allowed to keep their driver's licenses, will they still pay their traffic tickets? Hertzberg says yes. Under SB881, courts could still contract with private debt collectors to accrue delinquent debt. Other collection measures include placing liens on a debtor's real estate property, and garnishing wages and bank accounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A statewide \u003ca href=\"http://www.courts.ca.gov/trafficamnesty.htm\" target=\"_blank\">traffic amnesty\u003c/a> program that will continue through March 31, 2017, also aims to recover some of that debt. Depending on income, drivers with traffic infractions before 2013 will get their debt reduced by 50 to 80 percent and get their licenses reinstated if they sign up to pay that reduced amount.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Janet Campos, a mother of two from Hayward, found out she does not qualify for amnesty because her traffic violations occurred after 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos, an administrative assistant at a home insurance company, says that losing her driving privilege has become a huge burden: traveling 20 miles to her job takes a lot longer by public transportation than driving. Not being able to legally drive also makes it harder to get groceries on rainy days and pick up her two kids from school. Transportation became such a tough issue for her family that she had to pull her children from baseball practice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Right now they are not in sports because I can't drive them anywhere,\" said Campos, 33.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To get her license back, Campos says she would have to pay more than $2,300 in fines that have been tacked on to the original cost of her traffic ticket. It's money she says she doesn't have. That's why she considers Sen. Hertzberg's bill welcome news.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Getting my license back would just take a lot of weight and stress off my shoulders,\" says Campos, who struggled with depression after her license was suspended in 2014. \"I'd be able to just focus at work and not have to leave earlier to catch a bus so I can pick up my children on time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SB881 has no official opposition yet, but that could arise during the bill's first hearing at the Senate Public Safety Committee or the Senate Transportation and Housing Committee in the next few months, according to Hertzberg's office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Gov. Jerry Brown repeated his now-familiar call for fiscal responsibility in his State of the State address Thursday, laying out a case for his circumspect approach to budgeting -- including avoiding the expansion of anything that would increase state spending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After seven years of economic growth, Brown continued to lay out the message of caution that has been the hallmark of his tenure since he returned in 2011 to the governor's office, 36 years after he first took the oath of office to lead California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/243114554\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor, who is serving his fourth and final term, started on a light note, joking he could use the more than $20 million he currently has in a campaign account to change term limits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was 41 years ago that I first spoke in this chamber. At that time, my father was rather surprised to see me make it to the governorship at such a young age. Now I’m kind of surprised that I am still here -- and three more years to go,\" Brown said to laughter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"28r48P19ReR9VQR9fVymSIJQNmOcGFiI\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the governor, who took over five years ago at a time of huge budget shortfalls and deep cuts, told lawmakers that another recession is certain and that state officials must prepare for it by squirreling away money and not expanding state services too ambitiously. Brown echoed \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/01/07/browns-budget-mantra-caution\" target=\"_blank\">the arguments he made two weeks ago\u003c/a> when he laid out his budget proposal for the 2016-17 fiscal year, setting the state for a spring of battles with legislative Democrats eager to restore the cuts made during the recession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We live in a world today that is profoundly uncertain,\" Brown said. \"Here at the state Capitol we often think we have more control over things than we actually do. But the truth is that global events, markets and policies set the pace and shape the world we live in.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor said no economists have accurately predicted the 10 recessions since World War II and noted that the state's deficits between 2000 and 2016 were seven times as large as its surpluses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Schools, child care, courts, social services and other vital state programs were deeply affected. So, too, were our universities, which had to reduce classes and double tuition,\" he said. \"I don't want to make those mistakes again.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But anticipating pushback from Democrats and advocates, Brown stressed that the state has responded to growing inequality, saying California \"has not been passive.\" He cited a new income tax credit for the working poor, a minimum wage that increased to $10 in January, the state's staggering increase in health coverage for low-income residents and its expansion of an in-home care program for the elderly and disabled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"While the benefits of these programs are enormous, so, too, are the costs -- both now and into the future,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown used those increased costs to pitch another cornerstone of his budget proposal: A \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/2016/01/07/browns-budget-plan-new-managed-care-tax-increase-ssi-benefits-more-medi-cal-enrollment/\" target=\"_blank\">new tax to fund Medi-Cal\u003c/a>, which is necessary because of a change in federal rules that will leave the state without $1 billion in health care revenue this summer. Brown, who needs Republican votes to enact the new tax formula, insisted, \"This is not a tax increase, no matter what anyone tells you. The arithmetic is simple: California comes out a clear winner.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor also stressed his other budget priorities: Investing in state infrastructure, continuing to rethink the state's water system and fighting climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"BH4SmUT7y4h1plSFLVYa25e8N9cQ889f\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He ended on a high note, listing the litany of gains California has made since he took office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This morning I have talked a lot about the difficulties that lie ahead, but let’s not forget how far we have come. In 2011, the state deficit was $27 billion, our credit rating was the worst in the nation and unemployment was 12 percent,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Now, the budget is in surplus. Standard & Poor's has raised the state's credit rating three times. We have paid down accumulated debt -- $26 billion worth. We created a solid rainy day fund to offset the next economic downturn. We have increased funding for schools 51 percent. We are covering, under Medi-Cal, 13.5 million people, a 74 percent increase. We enacted -- for the first time -- an earned income tax credit. We raised our minimum wage, to $10 an hour, and that’s 38 percent higher than the federal minimum. And two million new jobs have been created and unemployment has dropped in half. Of course, the global recovery has a lot to do with that, so we should applaud, we can't take total credit.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He continued: \"Yes, it is clear that California is still The Great Exception. We dare to do what others only dream of. Difficulties remain, as they always will. That is the human condition. And finding the right path forward is formidable. But find it we will, as we have in the past and as we will again -- with courage and confidence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown's speech was warmly met by the Legislature, and in particular Democratic lawmakers. They largely praised the governor and his approach, while acknowledging that they will be pushing for some new spending in the 2016-17 budget negotiations that will unfold in the coming months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assembly Budget Committee Chair Shirley Weber, D-San Diego, said Brown is often quick to reject social services proposals made by lawmakers -- but then comes around. She cited the earned income tax credit --- which is expected to put $380 million back in the pockets of working families -- saying Assembly Democrats pushed the credit for several years before Brown included it in his budget last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He’s had a cautious approach, but that's him, we know that. We know his heart is right, he loves California, he is going to focus on what's good for California, but he's cautious because he doesn't want us to once again be in another bust and boom cycle,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles Democratic Sen. Holly Mitchell, who has been a vocal critic of Brown's lack of investment in social services, said she was happy to hear him acknowledge the state's income inequality. Mitchell, who entered the Legislature in 2011 as the state was still facing huge deficits, said she's optimistic that lawmakers in both houses can band together and restore at least some of the cuts made during the recession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are so far from where we were my first year in the Assembly ... there was so little money, we were simply trying to levy cuts that did the least amount of harm,\" she said. \"Now, there's money on the table and that gives us an opportunity to build upon -- we have got to invest in people. He talked about infrastructure and the roads -- I agree with all of that -- but we also have got to invest in California’s most viable commodity and that's her people. And so that's what I will work with colleagues in the Legislature to advocate for.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mitchell, Weber and others cited a need to increase funding for programs for the developmentally disabled, for housing and homeless services, and for families on welfare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, who chairs the Senate's budget committee, said he sees an opening for funding some of those priorities through the proposed Medi-Cal tax.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are talking about $1.1 billion that he has left unallocated, which I believe is an open-door invitation for us, number one to pass it, and then to put our imprint on how we would like to see those dollars appropriated,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Read the full text of the governor's speech:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe class=\"scribd_iframe_embed\" src=\"https://www.scribd.com/embeds/296189777/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&show_recommendations=true\" data-auto-height=\"false\" data-aspect-ratio=\"undefined\" scrolling=\"no\" id=\"doc_64296\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Brown echoed \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/01/07/browns-budget-mantra-caution\" target=\"_blank\">the arguments he made two weeks ago\u003c/a> when he laid out his budget proposal for the 2016-17 fiscal year, setting the state for a spring of battles with legislative Democrats eager to restore the cuts made during the recession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We live in a world today that is profoundly uncertain,\" Brown said. \"Here at the state Capitol we often think we have more control over things than we actually do. But the truth is that global events, markets and policies set the pace and shape the world we live in.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor said no economists have accurately predicted the 10 recessions since World War II and noted that the state's deficits between 2000 and 2016 were seven times as large as its surpluses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Schools, child care, courts, social services and other vital state programs were deeply affected. So, too, were our universities, which had to reduce classes and double tuition,\" he said. \"I don't want to make those mistakes again.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But anticipating pushback from Democrats and advocates, Brown stressed that the state has responded to growing inequality, saying California \"has not been passive.\" He cited a new income tax credit for the working poor, a minimum wage that increased to $10 in January, the state's staggering increase in health coverage for low-income residents and its expansion of an in-home care program for the elderly and disabled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"While the benefits of these programs are enormous, so, too, are the costs -- both now and into the future,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown used those increased costs to pitch another cornerstone of his budget proposal: A \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/2016/01/07/browns-budget-plan-new-managed-care-tax-increase-ssi-benefits-more-medi-cal-enrollment/\" target=\"_blank\">new tax to fund Medi-Cal\u003c/a>, which is necessary because of a change in federal rules that will leave the state without $1 billion in health care revenue this summer. Brown, who needs Republican votes to enact the new tax formula, insisted, \"This is not a tax increase, no matter what anyone tells you. The arithmetic is simple: California comes out a clear winner.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor also stressed his other budget priorities: Investing in state infrastructure, continuing to rethink the state's water system and fighting climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He ended on a high note, listing the litany of gains California has made since he took office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This morning I have talked a lot about the difficulties that lie ahead, but let’s not forget how far we have come. In 2011, the state deficit was $27 billion, our credit rating was the worst in the nation and unemployment was 12 percent,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Now, the budget is in surplus. Standard & Poor's has raised the state's credit rating three times. We have paid down accumulated debt -- $26 billion worth. We created a solid rainy day fund to offset the next economic downturn. We have increased funding for schools 51 percent. We are covering, under Medi-Cal, 13.5 million people, a 74 percent increase. We enacted -- for the first time -- an earned income tax credit. We raised our minimum wage, to $10 an hour, and that’s 38 percent higher than the federal minimum. And two million new jobs have been created and unemployment has dropped in half. Of course, the global recovery has a lot to do with that, so we should applaud, we can't take total credit.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He continued: \"Yes, it is clear that California is still The Great Exception. We dare to do what others only dream of. Difficulties remain, as they always will. That is the human condition. And finding the right path forward is formidable. But find it we will, as we have in the past and as we will again -- with courage and confidence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown's speech was warmly met by the Legislature, and in particular Democratic lawmakers. They largely praised the governor and his approach, while acknowledging that they will be pushing for some new spending in the 2016-17 budget negotiations that will unfold in the coming months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assembly Budget Committee Chair Shirley Weber, D-San Diego, said Brown is often quick to reject social services proposals made by lawmakers -- but then comes around. She cited the earned income tax credit --- which is expected to put $380 million back in the pockets of working families -- saying Assembly Democrats pushed the credit for several years before Brown included it in his budget last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He’s had a cautious approach, but that's him, we know that. We know his heart is right, he loves California, he is going to focus on what's good for California, but he's cautious because he doesn't want us to once again be in another bust and boom cycle,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles Democratic Sen. Holly Mitchell, who has been a vocal critic of Brown's lack of investment in social services, said she was happy to hear him acknowledge the state's income inequality. Mitchell, who entered the Legislature in 2011 as the state was still facing huge deficits, said she's optimistic that lawmakers in both houses can band together and restore at least some of the cuts made during the recession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are so far from where we were my first year in the Assembly ... there was so little money, we were simply trying to levy cuts that did the least amount of harm,\" she said. \"Now, there's money on the table and that gives us an opportunity to build upon -- we have got to invest in people. He talked about infrastructure and the roads -- I agree with all of that -- but we also have got to invest in California’s most viable commodity and that's her people. And so that's what I will work with colleagues in the Legislature to advocate for.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mitchell, Weber and others cited a need to increase funding for programs for the developmentally disabled, for housing and homeless services, and for families on welfare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, who chairs the Senate's budget committee, said he sees an opening for funding some of those priorities through the proposed Medi-Cal tax.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are talking about $1.1 billion that he has left unallocated, which I believe is an open-door invitation for us, number one to pass it, and then to put our imprint on how we would like to see those dollars appropriated,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Read the full text of the governor's speech:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The board \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/12/16/s-f-supervisors-pass-idaho-stop-but-mayoral-veto-looms\" target=\"_blank\">passed the policy, which would have made cyclists yielding at stop signs a low traffic enforcement priority, in a 6-5 vote\u003c/a> last month. That wasn't enough to override Lee's expected veto.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor John Avalos, author of \"San Francisco's Right-of-Way Policy,\" and bike advocates had argued that the San Francisco Police Department should use its scarce traffic enforcement resources to target dangerous drivers, who are responsible for causing the majority of deaths and injuries on the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislation was born out of a continuing crackdown on bicyclists who roll through stop signs along The Wiggle, one of the city's most popular bike routes, which is flat and zigzags from Market Street to Golden Gate Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A bike commuter's public records act request revealed \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/12/07/proposed-bike-yield-law-passes-first-test-at-san-francisco-city-hall\" target=\"_blank\">police dedicated 114 enforcement hours\u003c/a> to a two-day August crackdown of bicyclists along The Wiggle, but didn't do any enforcement around the city's most dangerous intersection for bicyclists, Market and Octavia streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The Police Department, along with other city agencies, opposed the legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is unacceptable to encourage someone to break a law that could result in injury or death because it is 'inconvenient' for the driver/bicyclist to come to a complete stop. All vehicles shall stop at a stop sign -- period,\" Police Chief Greg Suhr wrote in a letter to the Board of Supervisors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates for people with disabilities had been some of the most outspoken opponents of the legislation, arguing that it could have been counterproductive to Vision Zero, potentially endangering pedestrians. The city's pedestrian advocacy organization, Walk San Francisco, took a neutral stand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeremy Pollock, an aide to Avalos, said they plan on working to craft a pilot program, which seemed to draw support from Supervisor Malia Cohen, who opposed the ordinance, along with the head of the Mayor's Disability Council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bike advocates say many cyclists already safely travel through intersections without coming to a complete stop.

And consistently, these drivers say: In Lyft there are fewer expectations.

Or if they’re not nice, they’re quiet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber started as a luxury brand. Its motto is “everyone’s private driver.” So, Christopherson says, for people like him — people who drive super-part time, who have other jobs — it’s not a great feeling when passengers expect a chauffeur.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They don’t really kind of care about what you think of them.

Some current and former staffers, board members and supporters stressed that it is best practice for nonprofit boards to be appointed, and for board members to focus on fundraising and management.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10830106\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10830106\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/image-1-800x382.jpeg\" alt=\"The Logo of the Save SFBC slate. \" width=\"800\" height=\"382\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/image-1-800x382.jpeg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/image-1-400x191.jpeg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/image-1-768x366.jpeg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/image-1-1440x687.jpeg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/image-1-1180x563.jpeg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/image-1-960x458.jpeg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/image-1.jpeg 1547w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Logo of the Save SF Bike slate. \u003ccite>(Save SF Bike )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10830250\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10830250\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/FullSizeRender-3-800x388.jpg\" alt=\"The logo of the Love SFBC slate.\" width=\"800\" height=\"388\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/FullSizeRender-3-800x388.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/FullSizeRender-3-400x194.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/FullSizeRender-3-768x373.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/FullSizeRender-3-1440x699.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/FullSizeRender-3-1180x573.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/FullSizeRender-3-960x466.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/FullSizeRender-3.jpg 1465w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The logo of the Love SFBC slate.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But members of the Save SF Bike group retained a lawyer, and after threatening legal action, forced the organization to hold an election, in which two opposing slates of candidates -- Save SF Bike and \u003ca href=\"http://www.lovesfbc.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Love SFBC\u003c/a> -- ran for seven open seats.

She said some members feel the organization needs to do a better job reaching out to low-income communities and people of color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They have some blind spots right now, and members came together to say, 'Hey look, we have some ideas to improve this.'

It was under the umbrella of SFBC, which decided to part with the group. Moving forward. Johnson says she would like to see SFBC empower member advocates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pollock said the election was a good first step and hopes to work with the board to push Save SF Bike's platform of \"reinvigorating the coalition, diversifying it and strengthening it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I hope that it shows that member elections can be a great way to get members involved and excited about the organization,\" said Pollock. \"It's healthy to have different perspectives about how we should go forward.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Love SFBC said on its website that it's looking forward to moving on, and focusing advocacy around some of the big issues ahead in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The strong showing of our slate of candidates (5 of our 7 candidates won!), combined with the fact that all of those elected have long-time ties to the SFBC, leave us optimistic for the future of the organization. \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfbike.org/news/what-sf-bicycle-coalition-staff-members-are-most-excited-about-in-2016/\" target=\"_blank\">We have a big year ahead of us\u003c/a>, and we hope that everyone who campaigned and voted will continue their engagement and dedication to the SFBC.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Save SF Bike, the organization's bylaws dictate that candidates must receive a majority of votes, or face a runoff election, or be appointed by the board. Three candidates did not receive a majority, and SFBC must now decide whether to appoint them or hold a runoff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meantime, Lawrence Li, the past president of the board who was re-elected, said the first priority will be to hire a new executive director.

Since 2008, The Moth podcast has featured many of our favorite stories told live on Moth stages around the country. For information on all of our programs and live events, visit themoth.org.",
