That’s even though the ports move more than 14 times as much cargo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ILWU’s founder, Harry Bridges, started preparing for automation in the 1950s. At that time, “automation” came in the form of containers that replaced individual bales, bundles and boxes of goods to be shipped. The containers carried more cargo and required fewer hands. Bridges signed an agreement with the terminal operators allowing that, but he did so only after ensuring his members got higher pay and pension guarantees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And any new equipment they used would have to be operated by union workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even if it comes down to one person pushing one button to run a whole port,” Bridges reportedly said, “that person will be union.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That agreement largely remains in place, and ILWU members are among the best compensated blue-collar workers in the U.S. They receive an average salary of $155,000 a year, pay almost nothing for their health insurance, and get up to six weeks of paid vacation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The longshoremen owe their leverage to the fact that, unlike factories and auto plants, ports cannot be outsourced.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Where Machines Run the Port\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Ports can also be run by machines and computers, and, increasingly, robots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My tour with Herrera continued as we headed across a towering bridge toward the Port of Long Beach and the Long Beach Container Terminal.

These machines get rid of men.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’d tried for weeks, unsuccessfully, to get into the Long Beach Container Terminal on my own. I even got so far as to get their president, Anthony Otto, on the phone. He agreed to show me around, but said I couldn’t record any audio, take any pictures, or quote him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, the morning of the tour, he canceled. “It’s a sensitive time for us,” he said, referring me to his PR firm for further explanation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The firm didn’t return my call.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials with the ILWU can enter the terminal at any time and bring guests. Herrera had invited me to come along.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He drove us into the terminal, and we stopped in front of LBCT’s 48 stacking cranes. They load containers onto semi-trucks that haul them out of the port to distribution warehouses. In a traditional terminal, workers operate them from booths on top, but in the LBCT, four people can control all 48 cranes at once.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The same guy who used to drive the crane out in the yard eight hours a day is now doing it from a remote console, sipping coffee and listening to light music in air conditioning,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIrPWW6r1uo&t=5s\">Otto said in a YouTube video\u003c/a> touting the benefits of automation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ILWU estimates that two-thirds of the longshore jobs at LBCT have disappeared due to automation. Neither Otto nor anyone else from LBCT would confirm the number of jobs lost, nor comment on the record for this story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they say automation creates opportunities for new kinds of jobs, like mechanics to maintain the self-driving vehicles. And, they say, their robots are cleaner than the diesel fueled, human-controlled machines they’re replacing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Long Beach Container Terminal emits 85 percent less diesel soot, 58 percent less nitrogen oxide (a component of smog), and 33 percent less carbon dioxide than a traditional dock at the ports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those kinds of reductions give Adrian Martinez, an environmental lawyer with Earthjustice, a very different take on the automated equipment at LBCT than guys like Gary Herrera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s exciting to see zero emissions equipment actually on the terminal,” Martinez said. “Because from a basic level, we’re not going to solve the air pollution crisis in the Los Angeles area until we eliminate port and freight pollution.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/KPCCgraf-800x466.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"466\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11648608\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/KPCCgraf-800x466.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/KPCCgraf-160x93.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/KPCCgraf-1020x595.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/KPCCgraf-960x560.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/KPCCgraf-240x140.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/KPCCgraf-375x219.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/KPCCgraf-520x303.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/KPCCgraf.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>So, More Robots?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In November 2017, \u003ca href=\"https://www.scpr.org/news/2017/11/02/77259/ports-to-vote-to-spend-up-to-14-billion-to-clean-u/\">the Port of Long Beach and the neighboring Port of Los Angeles pledged\u003c/a> to dramatically slash their emissions by phasing out internal combustion engines. Their goal is to replace all diesel trucks and cargo-handling equipment with zero-emissions equivalents by 2035. Usually that means electric vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The big question is whether the ports’ new mandate will lead to more automation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, electric cargo-handling equipment is more than twice as expensive as its diesel equivalent. That could lead terminal operators to choose to automate to save on labor costs, said Thomas Jelenic, who represents terminal operators as the vice president of the Pacific Merchant Shipping Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People generally won’t seek out automation in and of itself unless they can justify it in some way,” he said. “But if they’re forced to electrify, the costs of electrification then dictate the need to automate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Mark Sisson, a port planner with the consulting firm AECOM, thinks concerns about price are overblown. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He believes the price of electric cargo-handling equipment will drop now that there’s a mandate for the largest ports in the Western Hemisphere to buy it. And right now, at least three other marine terminals are testing human-controlled electric cargo equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Rage Against the Machine\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Of all the automated equipment inside the Long Beach Container Terminal, it’s the 72 self-driving vehicles that elicit the strongest reaction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’re the ones Frank Gaskin swore at in his video, and they’re the ones Gary Herrera glared as he stepped out of the SUV on the last stop on our tour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They got rid of jobs, there’s no more drivers,” he said, looking across the fence at the little green carts. “And so this is why we’re skeptical at all when they wanna say zero emissions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because of all the uncertainty, the ILWU isn’t taking any chances. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In September 2017, \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB134\">Gov. Jerry Brown signed a budget bill \u003c/a>allocating $900 million from the sale of carbon permits under California’s cap and trade program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Up to $140 million will be sent to the ports for clean freight and ships, but the ILWU lobbied hard to ensure that none of it could be used for automated equipment. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the terminals want to automate, they have to do it on their own.\u003c/p>\n\n",

And, they say, their robots are cleaner than the diesel fueled, human-controlled machines they’re replacing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Long Beach Container Terminal emits 85 percent less diesel soot, 58 percent less nitrogen oxide (a component of smog), and 33 percent less carbon dioxide than a traditional dock at the ports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those kinds of reductions give Adrian Martinez, an environmental lawyer with Earthjustice, a very different take on the automated equipment at LBCT than guys like Gary Herrera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s exciting to see zero emissions equipment actually on the terminal,” Martinez said. “Because from a basic level, we’re not going to solve the air pollution crisis in the Los Angeles area until we eliminate port and freight pollution.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/KPCCgraf-800x466.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"466\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11648608\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/KPCCgraf-800x466.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/KPCCgraf-160x93.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/KPCCgraf-1020x595.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/KPCCgraf-960x560.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/KPCCgraf-240x140.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/KPCCgraf-375x219.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/KPCCgraf-520x303.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/KPCCgraf.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>So, More Robots?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In November 2017, \u003ca href=\"https://www.scpr.org/news/2017/11/02/77259/ports-to-vote-to-spend-up-to-14-billion-to-clean-u/\">the Port of Long Beach and the neighboring Port of Los Angeles pledged\u003c/a> to dramatically slash their emissions by phasing out internal combustion engines. Their goal is to replace all diesel trucks and cargo-handling equipment with zero-emissions equivalents by 2035. Usually that means electric vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The big question is whether the ports’ new mandate will lead to more automation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, electric cargo-handling equipment is more than twice as expensive as its diesel equivalent. That could lead terminal operators to choose to automate to save on labor costs, said Thomas Jelenic, who represents terminal operators as the vice president of the Pacific Merchant Shipping Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People generally won’t seek out automation in and of itself unless they can justify it in some way,” he said. “But if they’re forced to electrify, the costs of electrification then dictate the need to automate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Mark Sisson, a port planner with the consulting firm AECOM, thinks concerns about price are overblown. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He believes the price of electric cargo-handling equipment will drop now that there’s a mandate for the largest ports in the Western Hemisphere to buy it. And right now, at least three other marine terminals are testing human-controlled electric cargo equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Rage Against the Machine\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Of all the automated equipment inside the Long Beach Container Terminal, it’s the 72 self-driving vehicles that elicit the strongest reaction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’re the ones Frank Gaskin swore at in his video, and they’re the ones Gary Herrera glared as he stepped out of the SUV on the last stop on our tour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They got rid of jobs, there’s no more drivers,” he said, looking across the fence at the little green carts. “And so this is why we’re skeptical at all when they wanna say zero emissions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because of all the uncertainty, the ILWU isn’t taking any chances. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In September 2017, \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB134\">Gov. Jerry Brown signed a budget bill \u003c/a>allocating $900 million from the sale of carbon permits under California’s cap and trade program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Up to $140 million will be sent to the ports for clean freight and ships, but the ILWU lobbied hard to ensure that none of it could be used for automated equipment. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>It can be a delicate matter to bring up someone's age. But in California, \u003ca href=\"https://www.feinstein.senate.gov/public/\">Sen. Dianne Feinstein's\u003c/a> age has become a openly discussed issue in her campaign for a fifth full term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feinstein — a Democrat — is 84, making her the oldest member of the United States Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not by much. There are seven other senators who are also in their 80s, though none of them are running for re-election this year. Some political columnists have said that Feinstein shouldn't run again. Harold Meyerson, executive editor of the liberal magazine \u003cem>The American Prospect\u003c/em>, made that argument \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-meyerson-feinstein-run-20170731-story.html\">in a column\u003c/a> in the\u003cem> Los Angeles Times\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a six-year term,\" Meyerson says, \"which is the longest term any elected officials in the United States can be elected to. So the issue isn't simply what shape is Dianne Feinstein in at age 84, it's also what shape will she — or anyone — be in at 91?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's no way to predict that, says \u003ca href=\"http://gero.usc.edu/faculty/ailshire/\">Jennifer Ailshire\u003c/a>, a professor of gerontology and population health at the University of Southern California. People age differently from one individual to the next, she says. \"Some older adults are quite frail, while others are incredibly robust.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"hIXqY3mx97RBfY3jd1oJRNiL5c3MOZmS\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And their chronological age doesn't really tell you much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Rather than focus on someone's age, we should be focusing on their biological age, which is the age of their cells, tissues and organs,\" Ailshire says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's not the sort of information that voters have access to. What they do know about Feinstein is that she received a pacemaker last year, but missed only a single day of work. That work includes serving as the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, as well as having senior status on Appropriations and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout her career, Californians have known Feinstein as a cautious, middle-of-the road politician.

Dianne Feinstein's\u003c/a> age has become a openly discussed issue in her campaign for a fifth full term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feinstein — a Democrat — is 84, making her the oldest member of the United States Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not by much. There are seven other senators who are also in their 80s, though none of them are running for re-election this year. Some political columnists have said that Feinstein shouldn't run again. Harold Meyerson, executive editor of the liberal magazine \u003cem>The American Prospect\u003c/em>, made that argument \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-meyerson-feinstein-run-20170731-story.html\">in a column\u003c/a> in the\u003cem> Los Angeles Times\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a six-year term,\" Meyerson says, \"which is the longest term any elected officials in the United States can be elected to. So the issue isn't simply what shape is Dianne Feinstein in at age 84, it's also what shape will she — or anyone — be in at 91?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's no way to predict that, says \u003ca href=\"http://gero.usc.edu/faculty/ailshire/\">Jennifer Ailshire\u003c/a>, a professor of gerontology and population health at the University of Southern California. People age differently from one individual to the next, she says. \"Some older adults are quite frail, while others are incredibly robust.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

This is not a place for these sorts of interactions.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anderson was one of about 50 doctors, and a handful of students, lawyers and politicians, including the city’s mayor, who rallied outside the Oakland hospital on Tuesday, carrying signs that read: “We Stand With Dreamers” and “You Are Welcome Here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similar rallies were held at hospitals in San Francisco and Los Angeles, with the goal of urging national lawmakers to come up with an immigration fix by the end of the day February 8, when Congress must pass a spending bill to keep the government running. But Democrats agreed that they will not force a shutdown, as they did last month, because of \u003ca href=\"https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/2/6/16973762/senate-democrats-daca-shutdown-february-8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a commitment from Republicans\u003c/a> to debate an immigration bill separately from the budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland Mayor Libby Schaff criticized the aggressive tactics taken by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under the Trump administration: “We have heard from officials that ICE is going to purposely target communities like Oakland that are standing up for our families, standing up for our valued immigrant communities. This is vindictive. It is not befitting of a democratic society.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE did not respond to requests for comment, but the agency does have a policy against making arrests at “sensitive locations,” including hospitals, schools, or churches. There are exceptions for \"exigent circumstances,\" or when other law enforcement actions have led agents to the sensitive location.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, last October, agents in Texas \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/25/us/girl-cerebral-palsy-detained-immigration.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">detained\u003c/a> an undocumented 10-year old girl with cerebral palsy at a San Antonio hospital. Border Patrol agents first encountered her when they stopped her hospital-bound ambulance at a security checkpoint. After discovering her immigration status, the agents followed the ambulance to the hospital and waited while the girl had emergency gallbladder surgery. When she was ready for medical discharge, the agents detained her and sent her to a facility for migrant children. The girl was later allowed to return to her parents in Laredo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doctors say even isolated stories like this one stoke fear in immigrant communities, making families too scared to seek medical care when they need it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Children who are sick and don’t get care could become even sicker, said Anderson. They could die from a preventable or curable disease, or not get a vaccine that protects them, and the community at large, from infection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California and the rest of the country are right now experiencing the worst flu season of the last decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our clinics and emergency departments have just been overwhelmed with the number of sick patients,” Anderson said. “If you think a child is ill, the last thing on your mind should be ‘Is it safe for me to go to that hospital?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But hospitals only have so much power. Staff can ask immigration agents to leave - unless they have a warrant. That’s why the doctors held signs at the rally that said “You Are Welcome Here,\" because they cannot completely guarantee, “You Are Safe Here.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

This is vindictive. It is not befitting of a democratic society.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE did not respond to requests for comment, but the agency does have a policy against making arrests at “sensitive locations,” including hospitals, schools, or churches. There are exceptions for \"exigent circumstances,\" or when other law enforcement actions have led agents to the sensitive location.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, last October, agents in Texas \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/25/us/girl-cerebral-palsy-detained-immigration.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">detained\u003c/a> an undocumented 10-year old girl with cerebral palsy at a San Antonio hospital. Border Patrol agents first encountered her when they stopped her hospital-bound ambulance at a security checkpoint. After discovering her immigration status, the agents followed the ambulance to the hospital and waited while the girl had emergency gallbladder surgery. When she was ready for medical discharge, the agents detained her and sent her to a facility for migrant children. The girl was later allowed to return to her parents in Laredo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doctors say even isolated stories like this one stoke fear in immigrant communities, making families too scared to seek medical care when they need it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Children who are sick and don’t get care could become even sicker, said Anderson. They could die from a preventable or curable disease, or not get a vaccine that protects them, and the community at large, from infection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California and the rest of the country are right now experiencing the worst flu season of the last decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our clinics and emergency departments have just been overwhelmed with the number of sick patients,” Anderson said. “If you think a child is ill, the last thing on your mind should be ‘Is it safe for me to go to that hospital?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But hospitals only have so much power. Staff can ask immigration agents to leave - unless they have a warrant. That’s why the doctors held signs at the rally that said “You Are Welcome Here,\" because they cannot completely guarantee, “You Are Safe Here.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"headTitle": "News Fix | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors approved today putting a measure on the June 5 ballot on whether voters should recall Superior Court Judge Aaron Persky, who became controversial over a sentence he handed down to a former Stanford University swimmer convicted of sexual assault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Volunteers with the Recall Judge Aaron Persky campaign collected more than 94,000 signatures from county voters for the proposed recall. Those signatures were turned into the county Registrar of Voters for verification on Jan. 11 and passed the testing of a random sample of signatures by Jan. 23.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, seats in the Board of Supervisors chambers in San Jose were filled with community leaders who gave one-minute remarks on the proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford law professor Michele Dauber, chair of the recall campaign, noted that the reason why many people were there was because of the comments of Emily Doe, the victim of former Stanford swimmer Brock Turner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Persky came into the public spotlight after he sentenced Turner in 2016 to six months in Santa Clara County Jail. Turner's sentence was cut in half for good behavior, meaning he spent three months behind bars when he initially faced a maximum sentence of 10 years in state prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When Emily Doe heard that Turner had been given a six-month sentence, she was 'struck silent,' \" Dauber said. \"But today, the voters of Santa Clara County have spoken loud and clear.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Gatos resident Leslie Logan discussed the image she felt was being painted of those who volunteered with the recall campaign, describing it as the \"dismissive and often misogynistic representation of an uninformed, misguided, angry mob who couldn't possibly understand the intricacies of the criminal justice system.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"TykcAwwywHPwXB1XdwC6tjkJx9UFzGEM\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Logan, a survivor of sexual assault, said that she stands with the recall because she understands the complexity of rape culture \"all too well.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Clara University law professor Margaret Russell spoke against the recall, saying there are women all over the political spectrum who are not misogynistic and respect sexual assault victims who are opposed to the recall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The effect of this kind of attack, not founded on facts, is to rack up sentences to encourage judges to look over their shoulders,\" Russell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stan Voyles, a retired Santa Clara County prosecutor, scrutinized Dauber's background while speaking outside of the meeting room. Voyles said that Dauber had never handled a criminal case or been a part of a single bar organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She's a bright lady, but unless you know how things operate in criminal courts, you really can't make an opinion about this stuff,\" Voyles said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voyles said the recall campaign comparing Turner's case and another case Persky handled, in which 32-year-old Raul Ramirez was given a three-year sentence, does not add up because they were convicted of different charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said that Ramirez got the minimum mandatory sentence he could have received for his crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The recall campaign's official website mentions Ramirez's case, arguing that \"Persky has a longstanding pattern of bias in favor of privileged defendants. Less privileged defendants evidently do not receive the same level of solicitude from him.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"YPpU6UuIMk7gSZ8gjhYYFPDvL33tNGnJ\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voyles said his overall mission was \"stopping the falsehoods that the recall campaign spread.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Either they have no clue as to what is going on, or they are liars, or both,\" Voyles said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voyles did not speak during the public comment portion of the meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LaDoris Cordell, a civil rights advocate and retired judge, spoke in favor of Persky. She said that judges want to do the right thing, and sometimes the right thing may be a more lenient option.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If it's a sexual assault case, judges are now going to think twice about doing what they believe to be right in following the law because of fear that they're going to be targeted with misinformation, lies and distortion,\" Cordell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cordell said that the six-month sentence recommendation that Persky received came from a female probation officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The judge did not have to follow the recommendation, but he did what most county and state of California judges do and listened to it. This was within the law,\" Cordell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said that Persky has not spoken out himself because by law he is not allowed to discuss active cases, and the Turner case is still in an appeals process right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dauber spoke against the criticism that the recall campaign was becoming more about emotions and less about the facts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We were extremely detail-oriented and this campaign has been extensively reported by independent journalists,\" Dauber said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both campaigns plan on sending volunteers out to talk to voters about the recall measure in the next few months.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Those signatures were turned into the county Registrar of Voters for verification on Jan. 11 and passed the testing of a random sample of signatures by Jan. 23.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, seats in the Board of Supervisors chambers in San Jose were filled with community leaders who gave one-minute remarks on the proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford law professor Michele Dauber, chair of the recall campaign, noted that the reason why many people were there was because of the comments of Emily Doe, the victim of former Stanford swimmer Brock Turner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Persky came into the public spotlight after he sentenced Turner in 2016 to six months in Santa Clara County Jail. Turner's sentence was cut in half for good behavior, meaning he spent three months behind bars when he initially faced a maximum sentence of 10 years in state prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Voyles said that Dauber had never handled a criminal case or been a part of a single bar organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She's a bright lady, but unless you know how things operate in criminal courts, you really can't make an opinion about this stuff,\" Voyles said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voyles said the recall campaign comparing Turner's case and another case Persky handled, in which 32-year-old Raul Ramirez was given a three-year sentence, does not add up because they were convicted of different charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said that Ramirez got the minimum mandatory sentence he could have received for his crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The recall campaign's official website mentions Ramirez's case, arguing that \"Persky has a longstanding pattern of bias in favor of privileged defendants. Less privileged defendants evidently do not receive the same level of solicitude from him.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voyles said his overall mission was \"stopping the falsehoods that the recall campaign spread.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Either they have no clue as to what is going on, or they are liars, or both,\" Voyles said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voyles did not speak during the public comment portion of the meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LaDoris Cordell, a civil rights advocate and retired judge, spoke in favor of Persky. She said that judges want to do the right thing, and sometimes the right thing may be a more lenient option.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If it's a sexual assault case, judges are now going to think twice about doing what they believe to be right in following the law because of fear that they're going to be targeted with misinformation, lies and distortion,\" Cordell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cordell said that the six-month sentence recommendation that Persky received came from a female probation officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The judge did not have to follow the recommendation, but he did what most county and state of California judges do and listened to it. This was within the law,\" Cordell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said that Persky has not spoken out himself because by law he is not allowed to discuss active cases, and the Turner case is still in an appeals process right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dauber spoke against the criticism that the recall campaign was becoming more about emotions and less about the facts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We were extremely detail-oriented and this campaign has been extensively reported by independent journalists,\" Dauber said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both campaigns plan on sending volunteers out to talk to voters about the recall measure in the next few months.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

We found that teens who spent more time seeing their friends in person, exercising, playing sports, attending religious services, reading or even doing homework were happier.
