That level of improvement could mean the difference between full paralysis from the neck down, requiring a ventilator to breathe, versus regaining some arm, hand and finger movement, enabling patients to take care of many of life’s daily tasks unassisted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Below is video of Kris Boesen, a patient in the trial who at the age of 20 was paralyzed from the neck down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I couldn't drink, I couldn't feed myself, I couldn't text or pretty much do anything,\" he says. \"I was basically just existing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But after the stem cell treatment, he says, \"I'm able to live my life.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0ZWqBWDoQI&ab_channel=AmericansforCures\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another trial patient, Lucas Lindner, was in a car accident that left him a quadriplegic, with no use of his hands or legs. After receiving the stem cells, he recovered to the point of being able to throw a ball, type and use a soldering gun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DerDpM_FO4&ab_channel=AsteriasBiotherapeutics\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These are compelling stories. And if the treatment really does work, it could provide hope to traumatic-injury patients who might otherwise show little progress or improvement in their paralysis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But of course, the sample size we've seen so far is small — really small — just six patients. And it's true that some patients have been known to spontaneously recover some movement after spinal injuries without having received a cutting-edge stem cell treatment. Also, in this second phase of the trial, there is no control group. A double-blind, control-group study is planned in Phase III next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'As a scientist I think it’s very exciting.'\u003ccite>Oswald Steward, UC Irvine School of Medicine\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>So we wondered, how can the people running the trial know, right now, that the level of improvement in their subjects is favorable to patients who haven't received the treatment, prompting such optimistic press releases? And how much excitement should anyone allow themselves over these early results?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Using Historical Data to Compare\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">The likelihood of all six patients recovering to the degree they have on their own is unlikely, researchers say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">“This is as good as you could hope at this point,” said USC's Liu, in March. “So far all the evidence is pointing in the right direction.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asterias, based in Fremont, Calif., has tried to assess these early results by comparing the improvement in its cohort of patients to historical data from an estimated pool of 3,300 spinal injury victims in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.emsci.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">European Multicenter Study about Spinal Cord Injury\u003c/a>. Asterias says the level of progress for its six subjects is about twice the rate of recovery patients saw in the European data, dating back to 2001.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The 12-month data showed 67% (4/6) of Cohort 2 (subjects) have recovered 2 or more motor levels on at least one side through 12 months, which is more than double the rates of recovery seen in both matched historical controls and published data in a similar population,\" the company wrote in an October \u003ca href=\"http://www.asteriasbiotherapeutics.com/inv_news_releases_text.php?releaseid=2303887&date=October+02%2C+2017&title=Asterias+Announces+Two+Significant+Developments+for+Spinal+Cord+Injury+Program\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">press release\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But according to Oswald Steward, director of the Reeve-Irvine spinal cord research center at the UC Irvine School of Medicine, there are so many variables to be considered when you look at historical data, you really have to take any conclusions with a few grains of salt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It sounds good, but it’s not a control group, there’s no real data here,\" Steward says. \"It’s nice to give some background, to give you a sense of [comparative recovery rates], but that’s definitely the way I would put it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Getting background information to give a rough framework of comparison is exactly what the company wanted to accomplish, according to \u003cspan class=\"s1\">Wirth, Asterias' chief medical officer.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\"The take-home message is that we can only hope to truly demonstrate efficacy in a randomized control trial,\" he says. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"s1\">That's the plan in Phase\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>III of the trial. \u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\"The historical controls are merely a temporary comparator to help us determine whether the ... program should move forward.\"\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\u003cstrong>An Unusual Step\u003c/strong>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Historical data is often used in cancer studies because of the fixed nature of outcomes in some cancer types, but it's unusual to see early-stage clinical trials in other areas use it as a comparison, says Karen Messer, chief of the Biostatistics and Bioinformatics division at the Moores Cancer Center at UC San Diego Health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Use of historical controls is common in early-phase cancer studies because they usually have small sample sizes and the end points are really well-defined,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But spinal cord injury outcomes may be more varied, Messer says, so the results of an intervention wouldn't be as reliable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“(T)here are a few things to watch for: Are the patients comparable? Has treatment changed? You want to make sure the response assessment is not subject to any judgment calls.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asterias mined the European historical data because it was the only large spinal-injury database with current information that could be licensed, Wirth said in an internal memo on the rationale and methods for compiling historical data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In that memo, Wirth wrote that some variables are not included in the European database. These include MRI data on spinal cord lesions and the timing or quality of decompression, a bone-trimming surgery that makes more room for nerves. These differences in the data make direct comparisons harder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diana Miglioretti is a biostatistics professor at UC Davis. She says historical data is an interesting approach to frame a comparison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Obviously it isn’t as strong as a control group,” she says, “but if there aren’t major time trends, it can be a reasonable alternative.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, Miglioretti says, if outcomes haven't changed over time — due to improvements in treatment, for example — it's not out of the question that historical data can serve as a control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But according to spinal cord researcher Steward, that’s the main concern about taking historical data on spinal injuries at face value .\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the past we treated spinal injury differently,” Steward says. “For instance the amount of time people spend in rehab is a lot less than it was 10 years ago.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Strong Anecdotal Statements\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From Steward’s point of view, the real reason to get excited about the phenomenal initial results of this stem cell therapy is not the supporting historical data, but rather the anecdotal statements by the clinical researchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, he points to the statements by Richard Fessler, the lead investigator of the Asterias trial and a professor of neurosurgery at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. “I’ve been treating these kinds of patients for 30 years,” Fessler said in the San Francisco Chronicle story, “and I’ve never seen anything like this before.” (Fessler has no financial stake in Asterias, company officials say.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When someone like Fessler says 'I’ve never seen anything like that,' ” Steward says, “I spend more time listening to that than to historical data.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steward also points out that this stem cell therapy won’t help those with chronic spinal injuries, but says it could be a game-changer for newly injured patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Still, this is huge,” he says. “Things are progressing in a positive way. No bad outcomes, and people seem to be improving in a way that may be unprecedented. As a scientist I think it’s very exciting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Jon Brooks contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

And if the treatment really does work, it could provide hope to traumatic-injury patients who might otherwise show little progress or improvement in their paralysis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But of course, the sample size we've seen so far is small — really small — just six patients. And it's true that some patients have been known to spontaneously recover some movement after spinal injuries without having received a cutting-edge stem cell treatment. Also, in this second phase of the trial, there is no control group. A double-blind, control-group study is planned in Phase III next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'As a scientist I think it’s very exciting.'\u003ccite>Oswald Steward, UC Irvine School of Medicine\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>So we wondered, how can the people running the trial know, right now, that the level of improvement in their subjects is favorable to patients who haven't received the treatment, prompting such optimistic press releases? And how much excitement should anyone allow themselves over these early results?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Using Historical Data to Compare\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">The likelihood of all six patients recovering to the degree they have on their own is unlikely, researchers say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">“This is as good as you could hope at this point,” said USC's Liu, in March. “So far all the evidence is pointing in the right direction.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asterias, based in Fremont, Calif., has tried to assess these early results by comparing the improvement in its cohort of patients to historical data from an estimated pool of 3,300 spinal injury victims in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.emsci.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">European Multicenter Study about Spinal Cord Injury\u003c/a>. Asterias says the level of progress for its six subjects is about twice the rate of recovery patients saw in the European data, dating back to 2001.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The 12-month data showed 67% (4/6) of Cohort 2 (subjects) have recovered 2 or more motor levels on at least one side through 12 months, which is more than double the rates of recovery seen in both matched historical controls and published data in a similar population,\" the company wrote in an October \u003ca href=\"http://www.asteriasbiotherapeutics.com/inv_news_releases_text.php?releaseid=2303887&date=October+02%2C+2017&title=Asterias+Announces+Two+Significant+Developments+for+Spinal+Cord+Injury+Program\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">press release\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But according to Oswald Steward, director of the Reeve-Irvine spinal cord research center at the UC Irvine School of Medicine, there are so many variables to be considered when you look at historical data, you really have to take any conclusions with a few grains of salt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It sounds good, but it’s not a control group, there’s no real data here,\" Steward says. \"It’s nice to give some background, to give you a sense of [comparative recovery rates], but that’s definitely the way I would put it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Getting background information to give a rough framework of comparison is exactly what the company wanted to accomplish, according to \u003cspan class=\"s1\">Wirth, Asterias' chief medical officer.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\"The take-home message is that we can only hope to truly demonstrate efficacy in a randomized control trial,\" he says. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"s1\">That's the plan in Phase\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>III of the trial. \u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\"The historical controls are merely a temporary comparator to help us determine whether the ... program should move forward.\"\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\u003cstrong>An Unusual Step\u003c/strong>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Historical data is often used in cancer studies because of the fixed nature of outcomes in some cancer types, but it's unusual to see early-stage clinical trials in other areas use it as a comparison, says Karen Messer, chief of the Biostatistics and Bioinformatics division at the Moores Cancer Center at UC San Diego Health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Use of historical controls is common in early-phase cancer studies because they usually have small sample sizes and the end points are really well-defined,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But spinal cord injury outcomes may be more varied, Messer says, so the results of an intervention wouldn't be as reliable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“(T)here are a few things to watch for: Are the patients comparable? Has treatment changed? You want to make sure the response assessment is not subject to any judgment calls.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asterias mined the European historical data because it was the only large spinal-injury database with current information that could be licensed, Wirth said in an internal memo on the rationale and methods for compiling historical data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In that memo, Wirth wrote that some variables are not included in the European database. These include MRI data on spinal cord lesions and the timing or quality of decompression, a bone-trimming surgery that makes more room for nerves. These differences in the data make direct comparisons harder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diana Miglioretti is a biostatistics professor at UC Davis. She says historical data is an interesting approach to frame a comparison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Obviously it isn’t as strong as a control group,” she says, “but if there aren’t major time trends, it can be a reasonable alternative.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, Miglioretti says, if outcomes haven't changed over time — due to improvements in treatment, for example — it's not out of the question that historical data can serve as a control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But according to spinal cord researcher Steward, that’s the main concern about taking historical data on spinal injuries at face value .\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the past we treated spinal injury differently,” Steward says. “For instance the amount of time people spend in rehab is a lot less than it was 10 years ago.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Strong Anecdotal Statements\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From Steward’s point of view, the real reason to get excited about the phenomenal initial results of this stem cell therapy is not the supporting historical data, but rather the anecdotal statements by the clinical researchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, he points to the statements by Richard Fessler, the lead investigator of the Asterias trial and a professor of neurosurgery at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. “I’ve been treating these kinds of patients for 30 years,” Fessler said in the San Francisco Chronicle story, “and I’ve never seen anything like this before.” (Fessler has no financial stake in Asterias, company officials say.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When someone like Fessler says 'I’ve never seen anything like that,' ” Steward says, “I spend more time listening to that than to historical data.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steward also points out that this stem cell therapy won’t help those with chronic spinal injuries, but says it could be a game-changer for newly injured patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Still, this is huge,” he says. “Things are progressing in a positive way. No bad outcomes, and people seem to be improving in a way that may be unprecedented. As a scientist I think it’s very exciting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Garcia knew the lobbyists in the balcony were pals with many of her Assembly colleagues, she knew oil and other industries were working hard to defeat her, and she knew her bill was in danger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A million people in her industrial Los Angeles neighborhood “have been treated like a wasteland,” Garcia said in frustration, wiping tears from her eyes. Then she cast a glance toward the balcony. “Clean air is a big deal for a lot of Californians,” she said. “You have a choice: Do we all matter?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her bill fell six votes short, as moderate Democrats joined Republicans to quash it.

Current law prohibits ex-legislators from directly lobbying their former colleagues for one year after they leave the Legislature, and a \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB1620\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">measure\u003c/a> on Gov. Jerry Brown’s desk would slightly strengthen that by barring legislators who quit mid-term from lobbying during the remainder of that two-year-session, plus another year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the oil industry’s strategy this year was striking. After failing last year to \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-jerry-brown-signs-climate-laws-20160908-snap-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">prevent\u003c/a> a new law requiring massive cuts to greenhouse gas emissions, oil came back this year lobbying hard. Now Democrats held a supermajority in the Legislature but were divided over how to redesign the state’s landmark cap-and-trade program, which forces businesses to reduce emissions or pay for permits to pollute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The oil industry’s goal: to shape the next phase of cap and trade through 2030. And it had hired four former lawmakers—all Democrats—to advocate on its behalf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each hailed from predominantly working-class Latino districts and joined an influential “mod squad” of moderates during their legislative tenures, which covered various periods between 2002 and 2015.

Their relationships are broad-based and deep. If I were in trouble, they are some of the ones I’d hire,” Townsend said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oil companies have a long history of fighting against the aggressive climate policies backed by many California Democrats. This year, though, instead of fighting against cap and trade, oil teamed with other business interests to lobby to make cap and trade more industry-friendly. In the final deal that lawmakers approved on a bipartisan vote in July, oil won a new law forbidding local air quality districts from enacting emissions restrictions tighter than the state’s—as well as a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/california-climate-deal-net-big-bucks-polluters/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">potential perk\u003c/a> worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Leading environmental groups supported the bill to extend cap and trade for another decade, but other environmentalists wound up opposing it for being too easy on polluters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This easy crossing from legislator to advocate for the industry has happened before, but it seems to have been happening recently in greater bulk. So that, to me, is kind of distressing,” said Kathryn Phillips, a lobbyist for the Sierra Club, which opposed the cap-and-trade plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These are people who have been friends with the people they are going to lobby.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMaWTxBDRSA\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many aspects of those relationships play out in ways the public never sees—through text messages, phone calls or at private get-togethers. Weeks before lawmakers voted on the final cap-and-trade bills, Senate leader Kevin de León dined with Perea and Rubio at an intimate Sacramento restaurant known for \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/food-drink/restaurants/carla-meyer/article78723247.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$44 steaks\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/climate-soulmates/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">De León\u003c/a>, a Los Angeles Democrat who has carried many clean energy bills, said former lawmakers didn’t get any special treatment from him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I sit down with everybody across the spectrum. That’s my job as the leader of the Senate,” he said. “I have to sit down with all perspectives, whether it’s oil, whether it’s clean energy, whether it is labor unions, whether it’s businesses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Perea became a lobbyist, he met with Assembly Speaker \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/gripping-power-for-the-long-term/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Anthony Rendon\u003c/a> to talk about cap and trade, and held additional meetings with the speaker’s staff, Rendon acknowleged. But the speaker rejected the idea that former lawmakers were especially influential in negotiating the next phase of California’s landmark climate policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On an issue like cap and trade, where members arrive with a certain set of values and with information already, I am inclined to think that this is less impactful,” Rendon said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other hand, former lawmakers—especially those who served most recently—can bring unique insider know-how to any lobbying effort. They understand caucus dynamics, know how to tailor persuasive messages to particular legislators, and enjoy unusual access to public officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11625982\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11625982\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly-800x613.jpg\" alt=\"Oil lobbyist Henry Perea walked right past this sign outside California’s Assembly chambers.\" width=\"800\" height=\"613\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly-800x613.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly-160x123.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly-1020x781.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly-1180x903.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly-960x735.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly-240x184.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly-375x287.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly-520x398.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oil lobbyist Henry Perea walked right past this sign outside California’s Assembly chambers. \u003ccite>(Laurel Rosenhall/CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Signs of that were on display throughout the year in the bustling Capitol. In April, Parra \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/LaurelRosenhall/status/855142545612918784\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">participated\u003c/a> in a lunchtime discussion with legislative staffers about professional advancement for women of color, joined by a legislator, a lawmaker’s chief of staff and an aide to the governor who works on environmental issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in September, as lawmakers began a long night voting on dozens of bills, Perea strolled down a Capitol hallway packed with lobbyists and slipped into the back door of the Assembly chamber—right past a sign labeling the room restricted to “members and staff only.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well-connected environmental advocates also roam the halls. Last year, for example, the Assembly honored former legislator Christine Kehoe, a San Diego Democrat who now runs a \u003ca href=\"http://www.pevcollaborative.org/christine-kehoe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">group\u003c/a> that works to expand use of electric vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frequently when politicians leave office, they take a job developing a lobbying strategy—but not directly lobbying. Rubio did that when he \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/opinion/opn-columns-blogs/dan-morain/article2576725.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">quit\u003c/a> the Legislature in 2013 to work for Chevron, as did Perea when he \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/what-happens-when-a-legislator-quits/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">resigned\u003c/a> in 2015 to work for a pharmaceutical trade association. But as the cap-and-trade negotiations heated up this year, both officially registered as lobbyists—a sign that they anticipated having a lot more direct contact with lawmakers. Perea left the pharmaceutical group to \u003ca href=\"https://www.wspa.org/staff/henry-perea/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">join\u003c/a> the Western States Petroleum Association as a registered lobbyist in May. The next month, Rubio registered as a lobbyist for Chevron. In September, he filed paperwork with the Secretary of State ending his registration as a lobbyist.

That was the case for Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher, whose time in the lower house coincided with Perea but not the other three. She knew them, though, through California’s larger network of Latino Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzalez Fletcher said she never felt she was being pressured by the former legislators as the cap-and-trade negotiations advanced—perhaps because she declared her support for the bill early. Still, she saw them around the Capitol or ran into them while out for after-work drinks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was a lot of checking in: ‘Where are people? Where do you think things will land?’ It felt more like information-gathering in my brief discussions with former members,” Gonzalez Fletcher said. “I didn’t feel a lot of hard lobbying going on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a time when many lawmakers \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article160220334.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">worry\u003c/a> that Sacramento’s lobbying corps isn’t as diverse as either the state or the Legislature (Latinos make up 39 percent of \u003ca href=\"https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/CA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Californians\u003c/a> and 23 percent of \u003ca href=\"https://www.library.ca.gov/crb/16/LegDemographicsNov16.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">state legislators\u003c/a>), the oil industry has been represented by black and Latino lobbyists in the Capitol for several years. Its move to bring on the four Latino former lawmakers reflects a larger economic shift in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not because they are Latino,” said Mike Madrid, a Republican political consultant with expertise in Latino politics. “It’s because they represented districts that are poor and working class. There just happens to be a very strong relationship between race and class in California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Madrid said working-class communities respond to industry arguments about the cost of environmental regulation—either as consumers who will see the cost of gas increase, or as workers who want to keep blue-collar jobs in their regions. With Republicans \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/ousted-leaders-advice-fellow-republicans-stop-repelling-californians/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">divided\u003c/a> over cap and trade, and lacking much clout in the Capitol, it was logical for oil to bring on some prominent Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’re starting to see a transformation of what has traditionally been a right-left red-blue Republican-Democrat divide,” he said. “There is a realignment occurring.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another indication emerged five days before lawmakers voted on the cap-and-trade extension: The California Business Roundtable, a group of 30 companies including Chevron and Valero, enlisted a new lobbyist: Richie Ross, former bare-knuckles chief of staff to one of the most powerful Democratic Assembly speakers in state history, Willie Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/article3958362.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ross is unusual\u003c/a> among Sacramento lobbyists because he is also a political consultant whose clients include 10 Democratic legislators—giving him financial connections both to the groups that pay him to lobby and the politicians who pay him for campaign advice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he provided advice to the Roundtable and did not lobby his political clients in the Legislature: “They had me register (as a lobbyist) because at that point everyone was uncertain as to whether they would need me to lobby.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Roundtable’s president, Rob Lapsley, is a longtime Republican. But he said business groups knew that when it came to cap and trade, they needed Democrats involved to get the plan they wanted from a Democratic-controlled Legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Richie is a smart, strategic adviser with long-term relationships.

Current law prohibits ex-legislators from directly lobbying their former colleagues for one year after they leave the Legislature, and a \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB1620\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">measure\u003c/a> on Gov.

Their relationships are broad-based and deep. If I were in trouble, they are some of the ones I’d hire,” Townsend said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oil companies have a long history of fighting against the aggressive climate policies backed by many California Democrats. This year, though, instead of fighting against cap and trade, oil teamed with other business interests to lobby to make cap and trade more industry-friendly. In the final deal that lawmakers approved on a bipartisan vote in July, oil won a new law forbidding local air quality districts from enacting emissions restrictions tighter than the state’s—as well as a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/california-climate-deal-net-big-bucks-polluters/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">potential perk\u003c/a> worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Leading environmental groups supported the bill to extend cap and trade for another decade, but other environmentalists wound up opposing it for being too easy on polluters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This easy crossing from legislator to advocate for the industry has happened before, but it seems to have been happening recently in greater bulk. So that, to me, is kind of distressing,” said Kathryn Phillips, a lobbyist for the Sierra Club, which opposed the cap-and-trade plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These are people who have been friends with the people they are going to lobby.”\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/gMaWTxBDRSA'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/gMaWTxBDRSA'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Many aspects of those relationships play out in ways the public never sees—through text messages, phone calls or at private get-togethers. Weeks before lawmakers voted on the final cap-and-trade bills, Senate leader Kevin de León dined with Perea and Rubio at an intimate Sacramento restaurant known for \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/food-drink/restaurants/carla-meyer/article78723247.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$44 steaks\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/climate-soulmates/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">De León\u003c/a>, a Los Angeles Democrat who has carried many clean energy bills, said former lawmakers didn’t get any special treatment from him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I sit down with everybody across the spectrum. That’s my job as the leader of the Senate,” he said. “I have to sit down with all perspectives, whether it’s oil, whether it’s clean energy, whether it is labor unions, whether it’s businesses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Perea became a lobbyist, he met with Assembly Speaker \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/gripping-power-for-the-long-term/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Anthony Rendon\u003c/a> to talk about cap and trade, and held additional meetings with the speaker’s staff, Rendon acknowleged. But the speaker rejected the idea that former lawmakers were especially influential in negotiating the next phase of California’s landmark climate policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On an issue like cap and trade, where members arrive with a certain set of values and with information already, I am inclined to think that this is less impactful,” Rendon said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other hand, former lawmakers—especially those who served most recently—can bring unique insider know-how to any lobbying effort. They understand caucus dynamics, know how to tailor persuasive messages to particular legislators, and enjoy unusual access to public officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11625982\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11625982\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly-800x613.jpg\" alt=\"Oil lobbyist Henry Perea walked right past this sign outside California’s Assembly chambers.\" width=\"800\" height=\"613\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly-800x613.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly-160x123.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly-1020x781.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly-1180x903.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly-960x735.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly-240x184.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly-375x287.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/MembersOnly-520x398.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oil lobbyist Henry Perea walked right past this sign outside California’s Assembly chambers. \u003ccite>(Laurel Rosenhall/CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Signs of that were on display throughout the year in the bustling Capitol. In April, Parra \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/LaurelRosenhall/status/855142545612918784\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">participated\u003c/a> in a lunchtime discussion with legislative staffers about professional advancement for women of color, joined by a legislator, a lawmaker’s chief of staff and an aide to the governor who works on environmental issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in September, as lawmakers began a long night voting on dozens of bills, Perea strolled down a Capitol hallway packed with lobbyists and slipped into the back door of the Assembly chamber—right past a sign labeling the room restricted to “members and staff only.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well-connected environmental advocates also roam the halls. Last year, for example, the Assembly honored former legislator Christine Kehoe, a San Diego Democrat who now runs a \u003ca href=\"http://www.pevcollaborative.org/christine-kehoe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">group\u003c/a> that works to expand use of electric vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frequently when politicians leave office, they take a job developing a lobbying strategy—but not directly lobbying. Rubio did that when he \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/opinion/opn-columns-blogs/dan-morain/article2576725.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">quit\u003c/a> the Legislature in 2013 to work for Chevron, as did Perea when he \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/what-happens-when-a-legislator-quits/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">resigned\u003c/a> in 2015 to work for a pharmaceutical trade association. But as the cap-and-trade negotiations heated up this year, both officially registered as lobbyists—a sign that they anticipated having a lot more direct contact with lawmakers. Perea left the pharmaceutical group to \u003ca href=\"https://www.wspa.org/staff/henry-perea/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">join\u003c/a> the Western States Petroleum Association as a registered lobbyist in May. The next month, Rubio registered as a lobbyist for Chevron. In September, he filed paperwork with the Secretary of State ending his registration as a lobbyist. (Both men scored spots this year on a popular \u003ca href=\"http://capitolweekly.net/capitol-weeklys-top-100-list-3/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">list\u003c/a> of the 100 most influential players around the Capitol.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fuentes was elected to the Los Angeles City Council after he was termed out of the Assembly in 2012. He \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-felipe-fuentes-resignation-20160814-snap-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">quit\u003c/a> the City Council last year to become a lobbyist with a firm called the Apex Group, whose many \u003ca href=\"http://cal-access.sos.ca.gov/Lobbying/Firms/Detail.aspx?id=1147436&session=2017\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">clients\u003c/a> include Aera Energy—a firm that drills for \u003ca href=\"http://www.aeraenergy.com/who-we-are.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">oil\u003c/a> in the San Joaquin Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parra, after being out of elected office for eight years, was hired by Tesoro (now Andeavor) in November as a manager of state government affairs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No one has complained to California's political watchdog that the former lawmakers broke any ethics rules in their advocacy work this year. The assemblyman carrying the bill to lengthen the time lawmakers are banned from lobbying said it’s not inspired by any of the Legislature’s recent departures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, even if legal, the idea that personal relationships may influence statewide policy can be disconcerting, said Jessica Levinson, a professor at Loyola Law School and president of the Los Angeles Ethics Commission. “If we think about what we’re worried about when it comes to any lobbyist, it’s the idea that our lawmakers are making decisions based on what hired guns are asking them to do as opposed to what’s good public policy,” Levinson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Lobbyists have an outsized influence on lawmakers, and that is exponentially increased when that lobbyist is a former lawmaker.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11626029\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BigOilGraphic-800x1178.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1178\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BigOilGraphic-800x1178.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BigOilGraphic-160x236.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BigOilGraphic-1020x1501.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BigOilGraphic.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BigOilGraphic-1180x1737.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BigOilGraphic-960x1413.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BigOilGraphic-240x353.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BigOilGraphic-375x552.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BigOilGraphic-520x765.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if former lawmakers held office at different times from today’s legislators, they may be connected through other political circles. That was the case for Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher, whose time in the lower house coincided with Perea but not the other three. She knew them, though, through California’s larger network of Latino Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzalez Fletcher said she never felt she was being pressured by the former legislators as the cap-and-trade negotiations advanced—perhaps because she declared her support for the bill early. Still, she saw them around the Capitol or ran into them while out for after-work drinks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was a lot of checking in: ‘Where are people? Where do you think things will land?’ It felt more like information-gathering in my brief discussions with former members,” Gonzalez Fletcher said. “I didn’t feel a lot of hard lobbying going on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a time when many lawmakers \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article160220334.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">worry\u003c/a> that Sacramento’s lobbying corps isn’t as diverse as either the state or the Legislature (Latinos make up 39 percent of \u003ca href=\"https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/CA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Californians\u003c/a> and 23 percent of \u003ca href=\"https://www.library.ca.gov/crb/16/LegDemographicsNov16.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">state legislators\u003c/a>), the oil industry has been represented by black and Latino lobbyists in the Capitol for several years. Its move to bring on the four Latino former lawmakers reflects a larger economic shift in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not because they are Latino,” said Mike Madrid, a Republican political consultant with expertise in Latino politics. “It’s because they represented districts that are poor and working class. There just happens to be a very strong relationship between race and class in California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Madrid said working-class communities respond to industry arguments about the cost of environmental regulation—either as consumers who will see the cost of gas increase, or as workers who want to keep blue-collar jobs in their regions. With Republicans \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/ousted-leaders-advice-fellow-republicans-stop-repelling-californians/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">divided\u003c/a> over cap and trade, and lacking much clout in the Capitol, it was logical for oil to bring on some prominent Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’re starting to see a transformation of what has traditionally been a right-left red-blue Republican-Democrat divide,” he said. “There is a realignment occurring.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another indication emerged five days before lawmakers voted on the cap-and-trade extension: The California Business Roundtable, a group of 30 companies including Chevron and Valero, enlisted a new lobbyist: Richie Ross, former bare-knuckles chief of staff to one of the most powerful Democratic Assembly speakers in state history, Willie Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/article3958362.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ross is unusual\u003c/a> among Sacramento lobbyists because he is also a political consultant whose clients include 10 Democratic legislators—giving him financial connections both to the groups that pay him to lobby and the politicians who pay him for campaign advice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he provided advice to the Roundtable and did not lobby his political clients in the Legislature: “They had me register (as a lobbyist) because at that point everyone was uncertain as to whether they would need me to lobby.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Roundtable’s president, Rob Lapsley, is a longtime Republican. But he said business groups knew that when it came to cap and trade, they needed Democrats involved to get the plan they wanted from a Democratic-controlled Legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Richie is a smart, strategic adviser with long-term relationships. We found that of great value,” Lapsley said. “He goes back a long way. And he was very helpful in getting additional insights.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It’s a model encampment, they say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s very forward-thinking, very structured,” said Trevor “T-Rex” Sullivan, who has lived at the encampment for about a month. “We show love and support to everyone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After posting notices to vacate both camps over the weekend, BART cleared the one east of the tracks Wednesday morning.

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
