Peter Lee, the exchange’s executive director, warned in a conference call Thursday that rates could jump by more than 40 percent if the Trump administration and Republican-led Congress walk away from crucial elements of the health law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, House Republicans are looking to revive their Obamacare replacement bill and rally more support among moderate lawmakers in hopes of holding a vote soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to Covered California, the chief executive of Molina Healthcare, a Long Beach-based insurer, implored Congress and the Trump administration on Thursday to act quickly to stabilize the exchange markets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At issue are the continued federal funding of subsidies that reduce low-income consumers’ deductibles and copays and the enforcement of the individual mandate to purchase health coverage or pay a penalty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Premiums in Covered California plans could increase by 42 percent, on average, if those subsidies aren’t funded and the mandate isn’t enforced, according to an analysis released Thursday by the exchange. Covered California has about 1.3 million customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee said it is imperative for leaders in Washington to clear up the uncertainty to avoid damaging insurance markets nationwide and hurting consumers. He said statements this week by the Trump administration that it would continue funding the cost-sharing subsidies haven’t specifically addressed whether that applies to all of 2017 or 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Health plans need to know now what are the rules of the road,” Lee said. “Insurers are considering their participation in the face of unprecedented uncertainty.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much of the debate this week in Washington has centered on House Republicans amending their Obamacare replacement bill, the American Health Care Act. But Lee said addressing the current market rules should be a priority ahead of crafting broader legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee declined to comment on the latest legislative proposal from House Republicans, but he noted it still faces a long road ahead in Congress before it would win approval. “Health plans need to submit bids for today’s reality. Policymakers need to address that reality,” Lee said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a letter to House Speaker Paul Ryan and other congressional leaders, Molina Healthcare CEO J. Mario Molina said the cost-sharing reduction subsidies are essential for making coverage affordable for many consumers. Those subsidies cover out-of-pocket costs for exchange customers with incomes below 250 percent of the federal poverty level. They are separate from the tax credits that subsidize premium costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without that federal funding, Molina wrote, “we will have no choice but to send a notice of default informing the government that we are dropping our contracts for their failure to pay premiums and seek to withdraw from the marketplace immediately.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Molina said his company currently serves more than 1 million people through insurance exchanges in California and several other states. Molina had nearly 69,000 enrollees in Covered California as of December, state data show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anthem, California’s largest for-profit health insurer and a key player on exchanges nationally, issued a similar warning this week. During an earnings conference call on Wednesday, Anthem CEO Joseph Swedish said the insurer may exit some state exchanges or resubmit for higher rates if the fate of the cost-sharing subsidies isn’t resolved by early June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anthem has more than 310,000 customers in the California exchange, or nearly 25 percent of the market. Rival Blue Shield of California is the leader in state enrollment with 389,480, or 31 percent market share.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican leaders in Congress say they will address these concerns and move quickly to aid consumers by replacing the ACA with a plan that will reduce premiums and expand options for coverage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The health law “is collapsing,” Ryan said at a news conference Thursday. “The American health care system in the individual market is in peril right now. We have a moral obligation to prevent people from getting hurt, to stop the damage from being continued.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many conservative Republicans oppose the Trump administration’s decision to continue to pay the cost-sharing subsidies, calling the subsidies unconstitutional because they lack congressional approval. House Republicans successfully sued to block the payments, but a judge put the ruling on hold while the Obama administration appealed the case. It’s not yet clear how President Donald Trump will handle that appeal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amid this political uncertainty, California Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones told insurers this week they could submit two sets of rate filings on Monday for their exchange business. One filing would reflect continued funding of cost-sharing subsidies and enforcement of the individual mandate. A separate filing could assume the opposite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In light of all the actions taken by the Trump administration and House leadership to undermine the ACA, I expect that health insurers will consider filing significant rate increases for 2018,” Jones wrote in a bulletin to insurers this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For 2017, rates in Covered California rose by 13.2 percent, on average, statewide.

In return, the government agreed to forgive the district’s $375 million debt for construction of Central Valley Project facilities and granted it long-term access to project water on the same basis as other districts that have paid their CVP debts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House Natural Resources Committee \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/article147156219.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">approved the settlement\u003c/a> Thursday, rejecting an amendment from Huffman that would have barred former Westlands officials or lobbyists — meaning Bernhardt — from working on the drainage issue for five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valadao and Westlands — the water district is still represented by Bernhardt’s former firm — are also allied in an effort to end court-ordered restrictions on water deliveries to the San Joaquin Valley designed to protect salmon, Delta smelt and other species.

Bush Interior Department — and for the ethical questions they say his nomination raises.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, Brett Hartl, government affairs director at the Center for Biological Diversity, said, “Appointing a lobbyist like Bernhardt shows just how empty Donald Trump’s promise to drain the swamp was. From [EPA chief] Scott Pruitt to [Secretary of the Interior] Ryan Zinke, and now David Bernhardt, President Trump has assembled the most anti-environmental administration in history.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Golden Gate Salmon Association, a San Francisco-based group representing commercial fishermen and recreational anglers, noted that Bernhardt represented Westlands in \u003ca href=\"https://www.leagle.com/decision/In%20FCO%2020141222197/SAN%20LUIS%20&%20DELTA-MENDOTA%20WATER%20AUTHORITY%20v.%20LOCKE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a lawsuit\u003c/a> that sought to undo court-imposed protections for endangered salmon in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mr. Bernhardt and Westlands have spent the past decade attacking salmon protections and, by extension, the tens of thousands of California fishing jobs tied to salmon,” said John McManus, the association’s executive director, in a statement. “It strains credibility to suggest that Mr. Bernhardt would refrain from occupying himself with key departmental decisions that he has spent the last decade working to influence. In fact, those seeking his appointment are almost certainly counting on him to weigh in on their behalf.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bernhardt’s nomination requires Senate approval. With Republicans holding a 52-48 edge in the upper house, confirmation is likely a formality.\u003c/p>\n\n",

In return, the government agreed to forgive the district’s $375 million debt for construction of Central Valley Project facilities and granted it long-term access to project water on the same basis as other districts that have paid their CVP debts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House Natural Resources Committee \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/article147156219.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">approved the settlement\u003c/a> Thursday, rejecting an amendment from Huffman that would have barred former Westlands officials or lobbyists — meaning Bernhardt — from working on the drainage issue for five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valadao and Westlands — the water district is still represented by Bernhardt’s former firm — are also allied in an effort to end court-ordered restrictions on water deliveries to the San Joaquin Valley designed to protect salmon, Delta smelt and other species.

Bush Interior Department — and for the ethical questions they say his nomination raises.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, Brett Hartl, government affairs director at the Center for Biological Diversity, said, “Appointing a lobbyist like Bernhardt shows just how empty Donald Trump’s promise to drain the swamp was. From [EPA chief] Scott Pruitt to [Secretary of the Interior] Ryan Zinke, and now David Bernhardt, President Trump has assembled the most anti-environmental administration in history.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Golden Gate Salmon Association, a San Francisco-based group representing commercial fishermen and recreational anglers, noted that Bernhardt represented Westlands in \u003ca href=\"https://www.leagle.com/decision/In%20FCO%2020141222197/SAN%20LUIS%20&%20DELTA-MENDOTA%20WATER%20AUTHORITY%20v.%20LOCKE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a lawsuit\u003c/a> that sought to undo court-imposed protections for endangered salmon in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mr. Bernhardt and Westlands have spent the past decade attacking salmon protections and, by extension, the tens of thousands of California fishing jobs tied to salmon,” said John McManus, the association’s executive director, in a statement. “It strains credibility to suggest that Mr. Bernhardt would refrain from occupying himself with key departmental decisions that he has spent the last decade working to influence. In fact, those seeking his appointment are almost certainly counting on him to weigh in on their behalf.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bernhardt’s nomination requires Senate approval. With Republicans holding a 52-48 edge in the upper house, confirmation is likely a formality.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"title": "California Proposes Strict Limit on Toxic Chemical in Drinking Water",
"headTitle": "State of Health | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>California regulators are proposing a strict limit on a toxic man-made chemical that has contaminated water supplies throughout the state, particularly in its vast agricultural heartland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California would be the second state, after Hawaii, to establish a threshold for the former pesticide ingredient and industrial solvent known as TCP (1,2,3-trichloropropane) in drinking water. The chemical compound, identified in California as a human carcinogen, is no longer in wide use but has leached over the years into many wells and reservoirs in California and other states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California State Water Resources Control Board’s proposal would set the maximum allowable amount of TCP in public tap water at five parts per trillion — the lowest level that existing filtration systems can reliably detect and far lower than Hawaii’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It “is a top priority for the state water board,” said board spokesman Andrew DiLuccia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TCP taints water systems serving nearly a million people from Sacramento to San Diego, according to the state water board. The compound is present at levels above the proposed limit in 562 wells, reservoirs and other sources belonging to 94 public water systems, according to 2016 data. Those numbers do not include private wells.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Citing federal data, the Environmental Working Group, a Washington, D.C.-based advocacy organization, says the chemical also has been detected in water supplies of a dozen other states, including New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, as well as Puerto Rico. The group, or EWG, said the extent of contamination is likely underestimated because federal tests used a contamination threshold much higher than California’s. (The federal government does not set restrictions on TCP in drinking water.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once TCP gets into the groundwater, it “persists for centuries,” according to the EWG’s April report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, the contamination exists in many urban areas, including in Los Angeles, San Bernardino and San Mateo counties. Though the source in those more populated regions is not known, the pollution is believed to come from industrial and hazardous waste sites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Los Angeles has quite a bit of contamination,” said Andria Ventura, toxics program manager for the environmental advocacy group Clean Water Action. “It’s hard for water providers to pinpoint where it came from.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But California’s most serious and widespread TCP contamination is in the agricultural counties of the Central Valley, where the chemical was an ingredient in soil fumigants sold by the Shell Oil and Dow Chemical companies from at least the 1950s into the 1980s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During that period, farmers who grew potatoes, sugar beets and other vegetables used the fumigants to kill tiny, soil-dwelling worms called nematodes. Dozens of municipalities and public water suppliers across the state have filed lawsuits against Shell and Dow, alleging that the companies knew — or should have known — that the TCP in their soil-fumigating pesticides would migrate into groundwater and pose a serious health hazard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shell and Dow have denied wrongdoing. Shell quit selling its product, known as D-D, in the mid-1980s. About the same time, Dow opted to reformulate its fumigant, known as Telone, after which TCP declined to “generally undetectable” levels, according to company spokesman Jarrod Erpelding. He declined to comment further, citing pending litigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shell sent an email response: “The former Shell agricultural product, last manufactured more than 30 years ago, contained trace amounts of 1,2,3 trichloropropane (TCP). It was used to control microscopic worms that attacked crops causing millions of dollars a year of crop loss for farmers, and was approved for use by the U.S. government and the State of California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Environmental advocates say the adoption of a regulatory limit for TCP is a crucial step to help cash-strapped, rural water districts pay for the cleanup of their drinking water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It allows the districts when they go into court to be very specific and say to the judge, ‘We’re going to need exactly this amount of money to purchase this kind of system to meet the state standards,’” said Bill Walker, managing editor at the Environmental Working Group and co-author of its report on the role of Shell and Dow in California’s TCP drinking water problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It doesn’t guarantee they’ll win,” he said, “but it increases their leverage.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a public hearing on April 19, water board members heard testimony and received written comments on the proposed limit. Now the board is reviewing the input it received and will likely vote on the plan by summer, DiLuccia said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The regulation would require water utilities to test their supplies for TCP and remove it from any public drinking water source that exceeded the threshold, starting in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed limit is more stringent than Hawaii’s because it is as close as California could get to meeting its stated “public health goal” for TCP set in 2009, officials say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though it is difficult to know how long the California cleanup might take, the cost of TCP testing and subsequent cleanup could reach nearly $500 million over 20 years, according to one water board estimate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TCP contamination “disproportionately impacts poor communities and communities of color,” said Jenny Rempel, of Community Water Center, a Visalia, Calif.-based advocacy group. “This is a problem where the cost should not be borne by taxpayers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Todd E. Robins, a San Francisco attorney who is representing more than two dozen of the water suppliers that are suing Shell and Dow, argues that the companies included TCP in their worm-killing pesticides to get rid of the compound without having to pay for proper disposal. It was a byproduct of unrelated manufacturing processes and, according to the suits, played no role in killing the plant-damaging worms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The TCP that we find today in groundwater is the result of past use of soil fumigants that contained TCP as an unnecessary ingredient,” Robins said. “Instead of paying for disposal costs, they started getting farmers to pay for them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The saddest part of the story,” Robins added, “is that the … actual active ingredient breaks down in the soil after a matter of days and has rarely been detected in anyone’s groundwater.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the lawsuits filed by Robins, on behalf of the Del Rey Community Service District in Fresno County, says the companies knew they could remove or reduce the amount of TCP in their pesticides without compromising its effectiveness but failed to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The complaint calls TCP a “hazardous waste” — a byproduct created in the manufacturing of a different chemical, allyl chloride, that Shell and Dow used to make plastics and other commercial products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An internal Shell memo uncovered in Robins’ litigation cites $3.2 million in savings from “cost avoidance for disposal” related to the allyl chloride operations. The memo is dated Jan. 20, 1983 — a year before the company stopped producing the TCP-laced pesticide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to the pending cases, which also name distributors and marketers as defendants, Robins said he has settled eight cases against both Shell and Dow since 2010.

The compound is present at levels above the proposed limit in 562 wells, reservoirs and other sources belonging to 94 public water systems, according to 2016 data.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Citing federal data, the Environmental Working Group, a Washington, D.C.-based advocacy organization, says the chemical also has been detected in water supplies of a dozen other states, including New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, as well as Puerto Rico. The group, or EWG, said the extent of contamination is likely underestimated because federal tests used a contamination threshold much higher than California’s. (The federal government does not set restrictions on TCP in drinking water.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once TCP gets into the groundwater, it “persists for centuries,” according to the EWG’s April report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, the contamination exists in many urban areas, including in Los Angeles, San Bernardino and San Mateo counties. Though the source in those more populated regions is not known, the pollution is believed to come from industrial and hazardous waste sites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Los Angeles has quite a bit of contamination,” said Andria Ventura, toxics program manager for the environmental advocacy group Clean Water Action. “It’s hard for water providers to pinpoint where it came from.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But California’s most serious and widespread TCP contamination is in the agricultural counties of the Central Valley, where the chemical was an ingredient in soil fumigants sold by the Shell Oil and Dow Chemical companies from at least the 1950s into the 1980s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During that period, farmers who grew potatoes, sugar beets and other vegetables used the fumigants to kill tiny, soil-dwelling worms called nematodes. Dozens of municipalities and public water suppliers across the state have filed lawsuits against Shell and Dow, alleging that the companies knew — or should have known — that the TCP in their soil-fumigating pesticides would migrate into groundwater and pose a serious health hazard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shell and Dow have denied wrongdoing. Shell quit selling its product, known as D-D, in the mid-1980s. About the same time, Dow opted to reformulate its fumigant, known as Telone, after which TCP declined to “generally undetectable” levels, according to company spokesman Jarrod Erpelding. He declined to comment further, citing pending litigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shell sent an email response: “The former Shell agricultural product, last manufactured more than 30 years ago, contained trace amounts of 1,2,3 trichloropropane (TCP). It was used to control microscopic worms that attacked crops causing millions of dollars a year of crop loss for farmers, and was approved for use by the U.S. government and the State of California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Environmental advocates say the adoption of a regulatory limit for TCP is a crucial step to help cash-strapped, rural water districts pay for the cleanup of their drinking water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It allows the districts when they go into court to be very specific and say to the judge, ‘We’re going to need exactly this amount of money to purchase this kind of system to meet the state standards,’” said Bill Walker, managing editor at the Environmental Working Group and co-author of its report on the role of Shell and Dow in California’s TCP drinking water problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It doesn’t guarantee they’ll win,” he said, “but it increases their leverage.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a public hearing on April 19, water board members heard testimony and received written comments on the proposed limit. Now the board is reviewing the input it received and will likely vote on the plan by summer, DiLuccia said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The regulation would require water utilities to test their supplies for TCP and remove it from any public drinking water source that exceeded the threshold, starting in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed limit is more stringent than Hawaii’s because it is as close as California could get to meeting its stated “public health goal” for TCP set in 2009, officials say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though it is difficult to know how long the California cleanup might take, the cost of TCP testing and subsequent cleanup could reach nearly $500 million over 20 years, according to one water board estimate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TCP contamination “disproportionately impacts poor communities and communities of color,” said Jenny Rempel, of Community Water Center, a Visalia, Calif.-based advocacy group. “This is a problem where the cost should not be borne by taxpayers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Todd E. Robins, a San Francisco attorney who is representing more than two dozen of the water suppliers that are suing Shell and Dow, argues that the companies included TCP in their worm-killing pesticides to get rid of the compound without having to pay for proper disposal. It was a byproduct of unrelated manufacturing processes and, according to the suits, played no role in killing the plant-damaging worms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The TCP that we find today in groundwater is the result of past use of soil fumigants that contained TCP as an unnecessary ingredient,” Robins said. “Instead of paying for disposal costs, they started getting farmers to pay for them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The saddest part of the story,” Robins added, “is that the … actual active ingredient breaks down in the soil after a matter of days and has rarely been detected in anyone’s groundwater.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the lawsuits filed by Robins, on behalf of the Del Rey Community Service District in Fresno County, says the companies knew they could remove or reduce the amount of TCP in their pesticides without compromising its effectiveness but failed to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The complaint calls TCP a “hazardous waste” — a byproduct created in the manufacturing of a different chemical, allyl chloride, that Shell and Dow used to make plastics and other commercial products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An internal Shell memo uncovered in Robins’ litigation cites $3.2 million in savings from “cost avoidance for disposal” related to the allyl chloride operations. The memo is dated Jan. 20, 1983 — a year before the company stopped producing the TCP-laced pesticide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to the pending cases, which also name distributors and marketers as defendants, Robins said he has settled eight cases against both Shell and Dow since 2010. He said he cannot disclose the amounts because of confidentiality agreements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last December, in a case tried by a different lawyer, a Fresno Superior Court jury awarded the city of Clovis $22 million against Shell to clean up its TCP-tainted drinking water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2010, in a case brought by the city of Redlands, Shell won.

And \u003ca href=\"http://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/6934371-181/trumps-move-to-expand-offshore?artslide=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">opponents, including Senator Dianne Feinstein, have promised to fight\u003c/a> any attempts to open up the state’s coastline to new drilling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zinke told reporters Thursday night that will be a long process, and a complex one, acknowledging that not all areas have oil or gas, and not all coastal communities want offshore drilling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Zinke said revenue from offshore leasing had dropped by $15 billion during the Obama administration, with some of that due to the dropping price of oil, “but not all of it.” He added that 94 percent of the nation’s outer continental shelf is currently off limits for development of any kind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The oil and gas industry is enthusiastic about today’s executive order. In a statement, Jack Gerard of the American Petroleum Institute said expanding drilling in the Eastern Gulf of Mexico in particular “could create thousands of jobs and provide billions of dollars in government revenue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along the Atlantic coast, though, more than 100 cities and towns have passed resolutions against offshore drilling. In Kure Beach, N.C., Mayor Emilie Swearingen said tourism is the second largest industry in the state. “We don’t want the devastation from an oil spill,” she said. “It’s not whether it would happen, but when it would happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>George Edwardson, president of the Inupiat Community of the Arctic Slope, said his council may consider filing suit at some point to challenge an expansion of offshore drilling. “Most of our food comes from the ocean,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zinke told reporters the administration will not remove the “stringent environmental safeguards already in place.” He also said he was optimistic about the development of offshore wind energy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Obama administration’s drilling bans will remain in place for now. But even if they are eventually rolled back, there are questions about how effective the executive order will be in spurring new drilling. The price of oil is relatively low, hovering at about $50 a barrel, and offshore drilling is an expensive endeavor, especially in places like the Arctic. When asked whether the administration had been approached by any companies interested in drilling in the Arctic, Zinke said, “No.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s also not clear whether the Trump administration can reverse a separate offshore drilling ban that Obama announced a month before leaving office. He used an obscure provision of the 1953 \u003ca href=\"https://www.boem.gov/Outer-Continental-Shelf-Lands-Act/\">Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act\u003c/a> to issue what he called a permanent ban on offshore drilling in large parts of the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans. Obama administration officials said at the time that the law had no provision to reverse such a ban. When asked about this, Zinke said only that “everything” is under review, and “whatever recommendation I make I’m sure we’ll have the legal authority to complete it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During Trump’s remarks, he stressed that the executive order “reverses the previous administration’s Arctic leasing ban.” The full text of the order has not yet been released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The environmental group Oceana described expanding offshore drilling as a “huge, bad stupid mistake.” In a statement, the group’s Senior Vice President for U.S. Oceans Jacqueline Savitz said Trump was siding “with his oil industry allies, in a move disguised as a job creator.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The executive order also imposes a halt on designating or expanding any National Marine Sanctuary, unless the action “includes a timely, full accounting from the Department of the Interior of any energy or mineral resource potential in the designated area.” Zinke says the administration will have 180 days to review all such designations and expansions over the past decade. He likened this to another executive order this week that directs a review of national monuments on public lands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year Obama made headlines when he quadrupled the size of a marine sanctuary in Hawaii. He also created the Atlantic Ocean’s first marine monument, preserving roughly 130 miles of sea canyons and underwater mountains off New England.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

And \u003ca href=\"http://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/6934371-181/trumps-move-to-expand-offshore?artslide=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">opponents, including Senator Dianne Feinstein, have promised to fight\u003c/a> any attempts to open up the state’s coastline to new drilling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zinke told reporters Thursday night that will be a long process, and a complex one, acknowledging that not all areas have oil or gas, and not all coastal communities want offshore drilling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Zinke said revenue from offshore leasing had dropped by $15 billion during the Obama administration, with some of that due to the dropping price of oil, “but not all of it.” He added that 94 percent of the nation’s outer continental shelf is currently off limits for development of any kind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The oil and gas industry is enthusiastic about today’s executive order. In a statement, Jack Gerard of the American Petroleum Institute said expanding drilling in the Eastern Gulf of Mexico in particular “could create thousands of jobs and provide billions of dollars in government revenue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along the Atlantic coast, though, more than 100 cities and towns have passed resolutions against offshore drilling. In Kure Beach, N.C., Mayor Emilie Swearingen said tourism is the second largest industry in the state. “We don’t want the devastation from an oil spill,” she said. “It’s not whether it would happen, but when it would happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>George Edwardson, president of the Inupiat Community of the Arctic Slope, said his council may consider filing suit at some point to challenge an expansion of offshore drilling. “Most of our food comes from the ocean,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zinke told reporters the administration will not remove the “stringent environmental safeguards already in place.” He also said he was optimistic about the development of offshore wind energy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Obama administration’s drilling bans will remain in place for now. But even if they are eventually rolled back, there are questions about how effective the executive order will be in spurring new drilling. The price of oil is relatively low, hovering at about $50 a barrel, and offshore drilling is an expensive endeavor, especially in places like the Arctic. When asked whether the administration had been approached by any companies interested in drilling in the Arctic, Zinke said, “No.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s also not clear whether the Trump administration can reverse a separate offshore drilling ban that Obama announced a month before leaving office. He used an obscure provision of the 1953 \u003ca href=\"https://www.boem.gov/Outer-Continental-Shelf-Lands-Act/\">Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act\u003c/a> to issue what he called a permanent ban on offshore drilling in large parts of the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans. Obama administration officials said at the time that the law had no provision to reverse such a ban. When asked about this, Zinke said only that “everything” is under review, and “whatever recommendation I make I’m sure we’ll have the legal authority to complete it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During Trump’s remarks, he stressed that the executive order “reverses the previous administration’s Arctic leasing ban.” The full text of the order has not yet been released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The environmental group Oceana described expanding offshore drilling as a “huge, bad stupid mistake.” In a statement, the group’s Senior Vice President for U.S. Oceans Jacqueline Savitz said Trump was siding “with his oil industry allies, in a move disguised as a job creator.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The executive order also imposes a halt on designating or expanding any National Marine Sanctuary, unless the action “includes a timely, full accounting from the Department of the Interior of any energy or mineral resource potential in the designated area.” Zinke says the administration will have 180 days to review all such designations and expansions over the past decade. He likened this to another executive order this week that directs a review of national monuments on public lands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year Obama made headlines when he quadrupled the size of a marine sanctuary in Hawaii. He also created the Atlantic Ocean’s first marine monument, preserving roughly 130 miles of sea canyons and underwater mountains off New England.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

One more small, but positive sign, is the number of landlords participating in the Section 8 program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between June 2015 and June 2016, 310 landlords in Oakland dropped out of the Section 8 program, according to OHA. But in the first few months of 2017, a couple of dozen landlords have been added to the program, said OHA Executive Director Eric Johnson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plus, out of the 580 voucher holders who found apartments between July 2016 and April 2017, 40 percent leased in the last three months, Johnson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland isn't alone. The Housing Authority of the County of Alameda has also seen a small increase in landlord participation and tenants who are leasing up, according to Executive Director Christine Gouig.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The market does seem to be leveling off,\" Gouig wrote in an email. \"Of course, the level remains very high, but we are not seeing the requests for rent increases of $400-$500 that we once were.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also helped when a number of Bay Area housing authorities won approval from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development to increase the rent amounts that vouchers could cover.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it still takes a voucher holder in Oakland between four to six months on average to find a place, Johnson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>OHA is aware that convincing landlords to participate in the Section 8 program can be a tough sell. The paperwork and government bureaucracy can be tedious, Johnson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But keeping and growing the roughly 4,254 Oakland landlords in the program is the goal. HUD recently granted OHA approval for a number of incentives to keep and attract more landlords.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the incentives are rent increases for certain neighborhoods, a one-time $500 payment for new landlords, an expedited inspection process, payments for participating landlords searching for new tenants, and capital improvement loans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We did this specifically because we have to address what’s happening in this market,\" Johnson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>OHA has also partnered with a number of single-room-occupancy (SRO) property owners to subsidize operating costs in exchange for renting to residents with lower incomes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we’re going to have long-term affordability, if we’re really going to make sure we have economic diversity in this city going forward, we really feel you have to lock down as many hard units as you can,\" Johnson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marvin Jordan is grateful to have found an apartment. Around the same time, he also found a job working with people who are trying to navigate social services. He's able to share his experiences with them, he said. And since he and his son moved into their place, he's noticed dramatic improvements in Marvin Jr.'s mood, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Jordan said he's having trouble saving money. He puts $50 from every paycheck into a savings account that's supposed to be used for his son. But after paying for his subsidized rent, car insurance and other bills, he often needs to dip into that pot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I thought I could have a savings,\" Jordan said. \"But I end up spending it because we have to live, and we have to eat.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

HUD recently granted OHA approval for a number of incentives to keep and attract more landlords.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the incentives are rent increases for certain neighborhoods, a one-time $500 payment for new landlords, an expedited inspection process, payments for participating landlords searching for new tenants, and capital improvement loans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We did this specifically because we have to address what’s happening in this market,\" Johnson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>OHA has also partnered with a number of single-room-occupancy (SRO) property owners to subsidize operating costs in exchange for renting to residents with lower incomes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we’re going to have long-term affordability, if we’re really going to make sure we have economic diversity in this city going forward, we really feel you have to lock down as many hard units as you can,\" Johnson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marvin Jordan is grateful to have found an apartment. Around the same time, he also found a job working with people who are trying to navigate social services. He's able to share his experiences with them, he said. And since he and his son moved into their place, he's noticed dramatic improvements in Marvin Jr.'s mood, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Jordan said he's having trouble saving money. He puts $50 from every paycheck into a savings account that's supposed to be used for his son. But after paying for his subsidized rent, car insurance and other bills, he often needs to dip into that pot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I thought I could have a savings,\" Jordan said. \"But I end up spending it because we have to live, and we have to eat.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Doctors suspected he was suffering from anxiety and prescribed medication to control it. But Andrew said he continued to have “episodes,” during which everything just went blank.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s like there’s not enough blood going to your brain,” he said. “You can’t think.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Andrew also started losing his balance and falling off his bicycle. The family visited several hospitals. Doctors discovered that the receptors in his brain were malfunctioning and that he lacked sufficient dopamine, a chemical compound in the body responsible for transmitting signals between nerve cells. As a result, Andrew has some symptoms similar to those of Parkinson’s disease. Doctors also confirmed he was having seizures. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Andrew’s symptoms didn’t add up to any known disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One afternoon last fall at precisely noon, as Andrew sat propped up on the living room couch, Lynn’s phone alarm sounded, signaling it was time for his medication. Lynn pried open Andrew’s hand, which was clenched into a fist, and dropped in the pills. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To keep Andrew from falling, the family has lowered his bed and removed carpet from the house. They also bought him a wheelchair. Their precautions don’t always work. One morning, Lynn was in the kitchen when she heard a crash. “I ran in there and he’s laid flat on his back,” she said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Andrew is close to his mom. But he also gets frustrated. He can’t shower or dress without her help. He’s had to give up the things he loved to do: printing T-shirts. Skateboarding. Shooting short films. He’s lost friends and can’t imagine dating anymore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Girlfriends? Forget about it,” he said, his face twitching as he talks. “They want a guy who can do stuff for them, not the other way around.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Running The Medical Gauntlet\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a Monday morning in late January, Andrew and his parents were in an exam room at UCLA. Lynn teased her son, saying she was going to put him in a freezer until doctors figured out what was wrong.\u003cbr>\n“Then we’ll pull you back out again,” she said, smiling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ll never get pulled out,” Andrew responded. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Yes, you will,” she said. “You will.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nelson, Andrew’s main doctor, walked into the room. He told Andrew he’d read through the medical records. “We’re going to try to figure you out.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The work Nelson does is personal. His teenage son, Dylan, has Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a genetic disorder that causes muscle degeneration and weakness. Nelson knows his son’s disease will eventually take his life, but he said having a diagnosis makes all the difference. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My heart very much goes out to the families that don’t even get an adequate diagnosis,” he said.\u003cbr>\nNelson suspects that Andrew’s disease is genetic as well. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He asked the Whittakers to describe their son’s journey and he conducted a short physical exam, asking Andrew to push against his hand and touch his own nose. Andrew trembled and his shoulders tensed, but he did it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rest of the week, Andrew underwent several other diagnostic tests, including a muscle biopsy, an EEG, MRI and a lumbar puncture. He remained upbeat, though running the medical gauntlet clearly wore him out. He also met with UCLA specialists in brain degeneration and muscle and nerve disorders. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At week’s end, Nelson sat down with the family to explain what he’d found. He had reviewed Andrew’s genome and compared it with that of both parents. Andrew had one copy of a defective gene that leads to Parkinson’s but the genome sequencing didn’t show a second copy, without which it could not be Parkinson’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also explained that Andrew’s illness was clearly progressive and that his brain was shrinking, making it harder for him to process language and information. Nelson said he still didn’t have a diagnosis -- he believed it was a brand-new disease. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nelson planned to continue poring over the test results, conducting additional exams and communicating with others in the network. He also is analyzing Andrew’s muscle, skin and blood to see whether any mutated gene is expressed abnormally. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even in the absence of a clear diagnosis, Nelson said, rare diseases like Andrew’s help educate scientists and may help other patients. “These are the people we as a society will owe a great debt of gratitude,” he said. “They are effectively donating their lives to this process.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lynn Whittaker was disappointed. “We are still left with just hope that they will come up with something,” she lamented. “What else do we have?” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Andrew said his relatives have asked if he’s scared the doctors will find something. “I’m more scared if they don’t,” he replied.\u003c/p>\n\n",
