(Ben Adler / Capital Public Radio)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A plan to spend $7.5 billion on water projects across California is on its way to the November ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The water bond measure -- officially the \"\u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140AB1471\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Water Quality, Supply, and Infrastructure Improvement Act of 2014\u003c/a>\" -- passed both houses with near-unanimous support Wednesday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The signing ceremony Gov. Jerry Brown held immediately after the vote was the kind of sight that has become an endangered species in politics these days: a bipartisan celebration of a major legislative package.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve got a real water bond,” Brown said. “And we’ve got Democrats and Republicans that are more unified than I’ve ever seen – probably in my life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Fight Over Storage Spending\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that bipartisan spirit had been late to arrive to the bond negotiations. The measure needed two-thirds support in each house to pass, which means Republicans had a rare moment of leverage. And they drove a hard bargain, demanding that $3 billion go to new reservoirs and other water storage projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown had kept the bond debate at arm’s length for most of the year. His public comments on the issue were vague at best. The governor did make one thing clear, though: He thought an $11 billion water bond approved by the Legislature and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2009 and scheduled for this fall's ballot was simply too large. \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/08/05/brown-wades-into-water-bond-debate/\">The governor rolled out his alternative last week\u003c/a>: a $6 billion plan that would spend $2 billion on storage projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans said that was too low. They got Brown and Democratic leaders to increase that total to $2.5 billion by Wednesday morning. But the GOP held firm, and ultimately got Democrats to agree to $2.7 billion on storage spending. State Sen. Andy Vidak, R-Hanford, said that should be enough to build two new reservoirs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The storage is still 90 percent of what we had before,” he said after the vote. “And that’s very important. And hopefully it’s just enough to get both projects done.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'There’s No Better Time'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bond would spend about $90 million on habitat restoration projects in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. That’s much less than provided in other versions of the bond. Opponents of Brown’s plan to build two water tunnels in the Delta had worried a big investment there could pave the way for the tunnels’ eventual approval.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leaders are confident voters will approve the bond, which will appear on the ballot as Proposition 1. For one thing, it’s billions of dollars smaller than the 2009 version that has now been removed from the ballot. And as Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg pointed out, California’s historic drought has everyone paying attention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no better time,” he said. “And there’s certainly no time to say, ‘Let’s do this another time.’ The time is now.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

The measure needed two-thirds support in each house to pass, which means Republicans had a rare moment of leverage. And they drove a hard bargain, demanding that $3 billion go to new reservoirs and other water storage projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown had kept the bond debate at arm’s length for most of the year. His public comments on the issue were vague at best. The governor did make one thing clear, though: He thought an $11 billion water bond approved by the Legislature and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2009 and scheduled for this fall's ballot was simply too large. \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/08/05/brown-wades-into-water-bond-debate/\">The governor rolled out his alternative last week\u003c/a>: a $6 billion plan that would spend $2 billion on storage projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans said that was too low. They got Brown and Democratic leaders to increase that total to $2.5 billion by Wednesday morning. But the GOP held firm, and ultimately got Democrats to agree to $2.7 billion on storage spending. State Sen. Andy Vidak, R-Hanford, said that should be enough to build two new reservoirs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The storage is still 90 percent of what we had before,” he said after the vote. “And that’s very important. And hopefully it’s just enough to get both projects done.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'There’s No Better Time'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bond would spend about $90 million on habitat restoration projects in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. That’s much less than provided in other versions of the bond. Opponents of Brown’s plan to build two water tunnels in the Delta had worried a big investment there could pave the way for the tunnels’ eventual approval.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leaders are confident voters will approve the bond, which will appear on the ballot as Proposition 1. For one thing, it’s billions of dollars smaller than the 2009 version that has now been removed from the ballot. And as Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg pointed out, California’s historic drought has everyone paying attention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no better time,” he said. “And there’s certainly no time to say, ‘Let’s do this another time.’ The time is now.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Gavin Newsom said \u003ca href=\"http://www.marinij.com/marinnews/ci_26281909/gavin-newsom-voices-support-legal-pot-marin-appearance\" target=\"_blank\">at a luncheon in Marin County\u003c/a> on Tuesday, where he pledged to back whichever initiative makes it onto the 2016 ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom is currently leading an American Civil Liberties Union task force that is evaluating the many facets of cannabis legalization. The committee is in the process of researching the potential impact of marijuana legalization in California, studying the complexities of taxing and regulating the drug for adults. It hopes to release a report on the matter by the end of the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a recent interview with \u003cem>KQED Newsroom’s\u003c/em> Thuy Vu, Newsom said he has never ingested marijuana. He doesn’t like the smell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t like drug abuse, or drug use. That said, I dislike the ‘war on drugs’ more,” Newsom said. “It is a war on people of color, it is a war on poor people, and it is an outrage.”\u003cbr>\n[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jMJ0kCzuOA&w=560&h=315]\u003cbr>\nNewsom said the federal government’s efforts to legislate marijuana are not working, and the inability to consistently and meaningfully regulate the drug is a driving force behind the task force’s research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the past 40 years have been spent “drumming the beat to the 'war on drugs,’ ” drugs are more “plentiful, more powerful and potent” than ever, Newsom said, adding it is time to question the socioeconomic discrimination inherent in marijuana-related incarceration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with this failure comes opportunity. Newsom believes marijuana legalization is the nation’s opportunity to own up to the past, putting an end to the unnecessary expansion of the criminal justice system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over that past decade, polls have increasingly shown public approval of marijuana policy reform across the political aisle. In 2014, \u003ca href=\"http://www.people-press.org/2014/04/02/americas-new-drug-policy-landscape/\" target=\"_blank\">a Pew Research Center poll\u003c/a> found 54 percent of Americans favored the legalization of marijuana usage. According to the poll, although legalization continues to be a more liberal viewpoint, both Democrats and Republicans agree that federal enforcement of punitive marijuana laws is not worth the cost. \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'I don’t like drug abuse, or drug use. That said, I dislike the ‘war on drugs’ more.'\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Despite \u003ca href=\"http://www.casacolumbia.org/the-buzz-blog/more-teens-treatment-addicted-marijuana\" target=\"_blank\">statistics\u003c/a> from Columbia University’s Center for Addiction and Substance Abuse, which demonstrate addictive properties in marijuana for 9 percent of adult users, Newsom said the idea that the \u003ca href=\"http://www.vox.com/2014/8/7/5967239/marijuana-legalization-drug-schedule-DEA-FDA-HHS\" target=\"_blank\">federal government classifies\u003c/a> marijuana side by side with heroin and LSD, and above methamphetamine and cocaine, is “absurd.” However, concerns about legalization, in terms of health or otherwise, are merited, Newsom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2010, when Californians voted down \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/proposition-19/\" target=\"_blank\">Proposition 19 \u003c/a>(the Regulate, Control and Tax Cannabis Act), Newsom said he was too “cowardly” to campaign for marijuana legalization. He said the proposal, although proving important for the nation’s discourse on marijuana usage, had holes in it, citing the excessive regulatory autonomy given to counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I admired the courage of those that put [Prop. 19] on the ballot to begin that conversation,” Newsom said. “Had Prop. 19 not have been on the ballot, you would not have had the Colorado initiative and a Washington state initiative to move forward on this debate in an implementable way and a substantive way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even in Colorado and Washington, however, reports of expanded out-of-state black markets with once-legal trafficked marijuana supplies are cropping up. According to \u003ca href=\"http://www.ibtimes.com/marijuana-trafficking-colorados-homegrown-pot-shows-40-different-states-1648412\" target=\"_blank\">reporting by the International Business Times\u003c/a>, marijuana from Colorado has reached 40 other states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Polls agree something needs to change,” Newsom said. “It is time we become more mature on this topic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom said he is not looking to allow marijuana on the sidewalks and parks of California, but that the goal is to keep it off the black markets and out of the hands of children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for his own kids, if he ever finds out they are smoking marijuana, they are grounded, Newsom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/tv/programs/newsroom/\" target=\"_blank\">KQED NEWSROOM\u003c/a> is a weekly news magazine program on television, radio and online.

Gavin Newsom said \u003ca href=\"http://www.marinij.com/marinnews/ci_26281909/gavin-newsom-voices-support-legal-pot-marin-appearance\" target=\"_blank\">at a luncheon in Marin County\u003c/a> on Tuesday, where he pledged to back whichever initiative makes it onto the 2016 ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom is currently leading an American Civil Liberties Union task force that is evaluating the many facets of cannabis legalization. The committee is in the process of researching the potential impact of marijuana legalization in California, studying the complexities of taxing and regulating the drug for adults. It hopes to release a report on the matter by the end of the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a recent interview with \u003cem>KQED Newsroom’s\u003c/em> Thuy Vu, Newsom said he has never ingested marijuana. He doesn’t like the smell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t like drug abuse, or drug use. That said, I dislike the ‘war on drugs’ more,” Newsom said. “It is a war on people of color, it is a war on poor people, and it is an outrage.”\u003cbr>\n\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/8jMJ0kCzuOA'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/8jMJ0kCzuOA'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cbr>\nNewsom said the federal government’s efforts to legislate marijuana are not working, and the inability to consistently and meaningfully regulate the drug is a driving force behind the task force’s research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Newsom believes marijuana legalization is the nation’s opportunity to own up to the past, putting an end to the unnecessary expansion of the criminal justice system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over that past decade, polls have increasingly shown public approval of marijuana policy reform across the political aisle. In 2014, \u003ca href=\"http://www.people-press.org/2014/04/02/americas-new-drug-policy-landscape/\" target=\"_blank\">a Pew Research Center poll\u003c/a> found 54 percent of Americans favored the legalization of marijuana usage. According to the poll, although legalization continues to be a more liberal viewpoint, both Democrats and Republicans agree that federal enforcement of punitive marijuana laws is not worth the cost. \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'I don’t like drug abuse, or drug use. That said, I dislike the ‘war on drugs’ more.'\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Despite \u003ca href=\"http://www.casacolumbia.org/the-buzz-blog/more-teens-treatment-addicted-marijuana\" target=\"_blank\">statistics\u003c/a> from Columbia University’s Center for Addiction and Substance Abuse, which demonstrate addictive properties in marijuana for 9 percent of adult users, Newsom said the idea that the \u003ca href=\"http://www.vox.com/2014/8/7/5967239/marijuana-legalization-drug-schedule-DEA-FDA-HHS\" target=\"_blank\">federal government classifies\u003c/a> marijuana side by side with heroin and LSD, and above methamphetamine and cocaine, is “absurd.” However, concerns about legalization, in terms of health or otherwise, are merited, Newsom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2010, when Californians voted down \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/proposition-19/\" target=\"_blank\">Proposition 19 \u003c/a>(the Regulate, Control and Tax Cannabis Act), Newsom said he was too “cowardly” to campaign for marijuana legalization. He said the proposal, although proving important for the nation’s discourse on marijuana usage, had holes in it, citing the excessive regulatory autonomy given to counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I admired the courage of those that put [Prop. 19] on the ballot to begin that conversation,” Newsom said. “Had Prop. 19 not have been on the ballot, you would not have had the Colorado initiative and a Washington state initiative to move forward on this debate in an implementable way and a substantive way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even in Colorado and Washington, however, reports of expanded out-of-state black markets with once-legal trafficked marijuana supplies are cropping up. According to \u003ca href=\"http://www.ibtimes.com/marijuana-trafficking-colorados-homegrown-pot-shows-40-different-states-1648412\" target=\"_blank\">reporting by the International Business Times\u003c/a>, marijuana from Colorado has reached 40 other states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Polls agree something needs to change,” Newsom said. “It is time we become more mature on this topic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom said he is not looking to allow marijuana on the sidewalks and parks of California, but that the goal is to keep it off the black markets and out of the hands of children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for his own kids, if he ever finds out they are smoking marijuana, they are grounded, Newsom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/tv/programs/newsroom/\" target=\"_blank\">KQED NEWSROOM\u003c/a> is a weekly news magazine program on television, radio and online.

Potential candidates include a quarter-cent sales tax for public safety and modifications to Measure B, which voters in favor of pension reform passed in 2012. It's still mired, however, in legal disputes between the unions and the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sales Tax Increase\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The City Council will debate three potential quarter-cent sales tax measures: a general purpose sales tax, a sales tax dedicated to public safety and a sales tax dedicated to road repair and maintenance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tax increase would raise an estimated \u003ca href=\"http://sanjoseca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/33607\" target=\"_blank\">$34 million a year\u003c/a>. San Jose's current sales tax is 8.75 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"http://www.sanjoseca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/33388\" target=\"_blank\">a poll funded by the City Council\u003c/a>, 67 percent of respondents favored the general sales tax, 71 percent the public safety tax and 65 percent the road repair tax.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the general sales tax measure has the least support, it's also the easiest to pass. Special-purpose measures need a two-thirds majority while general taxes need only a majority. So, both the public safety and road repair measures would need 67 percent voter approval to pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're considering a sales tax just for public safety because that's the highest priority for our voters,\" San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed said. \"Whether or not it's strong enough to win is always an important question.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Councilman Sam Liccardo, whom Reed has endorsed, favors the public safety measure, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/News/ci_26264788/San-Jose:-Council-to-consider-sales-tax-initiative-for-ballot\" target=\"_blank\">San Jose Mercury News\u003c/a>. Santa Clara County Supervisor Dave Cortese, Liccardo's mayoral rival, favors a general tax.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Measure B-Related Initiatives\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Measure B, enacted by nearly 70 percent of voters in June 2012, required existing city employees to make additional contributions to their pension plans or pay up to 16 percent of their paycheck into a retirement fund. The measure allowed employees to avoid the extra fees by opting into a less generous plan with smaller payouts and later retirement ages. New employees must pay up to 50 percent of their pension costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unions, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/05/01/95792/\" target=\"_blank\">including the police\u003c/a>, quickly sued, saying that their retirement benefits were previously approved in their labor contracts. Last year, a Superior Court judge \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/12/23/121816/San-Jose-Measure-B\" target=\"_blank\">ruled\u003c/a> that San Jose can't cut the pensions just because they've become costly. But city officials \u003cem>can\u003c/em> cut workers' pay instead. The ruling was appealed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reed would like to the case to go the California Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think it's important for the people of California to be able to do that and get clarity on the law, so that we're not in this straitjacket of never being able to fix things when we get into fiscal problems,\" Reed said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed changes to Measure B would guarantee a city job to police officers or firefighters who are injured on the job and make it easier for officers who are unable to work for more than a year to qualify for disability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a couple of minor changes to what the voters appealed,\" Reed said. \"There's been a lot of confusion about what it takes to qualify for disability retirement in San Jose, so we just wanted to make it real clear that if an officer is injured on the job and can't work, they're going to get a disability retirement.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another measure would give San Jose police officers who left the department the same benefits they had if they return by January 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A third measure would allow public access to employee bargaining negotiations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the changes do not address several of labor's concerns, including the amount workers must pay toward their pensions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Marijuana Tax and Dispensaries\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reed also wants to increase the marijuana business tax from 10 percent to 15 to 20 percent. The extra money would go into the general fund. New regulations for the city's medical marijuana dispensaries went into effect in June, giving dispensaries a full year to pay for a license and move away from schools, homes and businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents of San Jose's dispensary regulations failed to collect enough signatures to get on the ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Mina Kim contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

(pntphoto/Flickr)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The San Jose City Council must decide on Tuesday night what measures to place on the November ballot. Potential candidates include a quarter-cent sales tax for public safety and modifications to Measure B, which voters in favor of pension reform passed in 2012. It's still mired, however, in legal disputes between the unions and the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sales Tax Increase\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The City Council will debate three potential quarter-cent sales tax measures: a general purpose sales tax, a sales tax dedicated to public safety and a sales tax dedicated to road repair and maintenance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tax increase would raise an estimated \u003ca href=\"http://sanjoseca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/33607\" target=\"_blank\">$34 million a year\u003c/a>. San Jose's current sales tax is 8.75 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"http://www.sanjoseca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/33388\" target=\"_blank\">a poll funded by the City Council\u003c/a>, 67 percent of respondents favored the general sales tax, 71 percent the public safety tax and 65 percent the road repair tax.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the general sales tax measure has the least support, it's also the easiest to pass. Special-purpose measures need a two-thirds majority while general taxes need only a majority. So, both the public safety and road repair measures would need 67 percent voter approval to pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're considering a sales tax just for public safety because that's the highest priority for our voters,\" San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed said. \"Whether or not it's strong enough to win is always an important question.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Councilman Sam Liccardo, whom Reed has endorsed, favors the public safety measure, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/News/ci_26264788/San-Jose:-Council-to-consider-sales-tax-initiative-for-ballot\" target=\"_blank\">San Jose Mercury News\u003c/a>. Santa Clara County Supervisor Dave Cortese, Liccardo's mayoral rival, favors a general tax.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Measure B-Related Initiatives\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Measure B, enacted by nearly 70 percent of voters in June 2012, required existing city employees to make additional contributions to their pension plans or pay up to 16 percent of their paycheck into a retirement fund. The measure allowed employees to avoid the extra fees by opting into a less generous plan with smaller payouts and later retirement ages. New employees must pay up to 50 percent of their pension costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unions, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/05/01/95792/\" target=\"_blank\">including the police\u003c/a>, quickly sued, saying that their retirement benefits were previously approved in their labor contracts. Last year, a Superior Court judge \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/12/23/121816/San-Jose-Measure-B\" target=\"_blank\">ruled\u003c/a> that San Jose can't cut the pensions just because they've become costly. But city officials \u003cem>can\u003c/em> cut workers' pay instead. The ruling was appealed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reed would like to the case to go the California Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think it's important for the people of California to be able to do that and get clarity on the law, so that we're not in this straitjacket of never being able to fix things when we get into fiscal problems,\" Reed said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed changes to Measure B would guarantee a city job to police officers or firefighters who are injured on the job and make it easier for officers who are unable to work for more than a year to qualify for disability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a couple of minor changes to what the voters appealed,\" Reed said. \"There's been a lot of confusion about what it takes to qualify for disability retirement in San Jose, so we just wanted to make it real clear that if an officer is injured on the job and can't work, they're going to get a disability retirement.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another measure would give San Jose police officers who left the department the same benefits they had if they return by January 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A third measure would allow public access to employee bargaining negotiations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the changes do not address several of labor's concerns, including the amount workers must pay toward their pensions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Marijuana Tax and Dispensaries\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reed also wants to increase the marijuana business tax from 10 percent to 15 to 20 percent. The extra money would go into the general fund. New regulations for the city's medical marijuana dispensaries went into effect in June, giving dispensaries a full year to pay for a license and move away from schools, homes and businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents of San Jose's dispensary regulations failed to collect enough signatures to get on the ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Mina Kim contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

And one national writer on Thursday suggested \u003ca href=\"http://www.slate.com/blogs/weigel/2014/07/31/neel_kashkari_and_the_ghost_of_tom_joad.html\" target=\"_blank\">the first-time candidate is confusing poverty with unemployment and homelessness\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meantime, the governor's campaign team argues \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/la-me-kashkari-tarp-20140508-story.html#page=1\" target=\"_blank\">Kashkari's role in 2008 and 2009 as the author of the federal TARP effort\u003c/a> disqualifies him from being an authentic champion of those in need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If one cared about homeless and had $700 billion to spend,\" \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/DanNewmanSCN/status/494851221572685825\" target=\"_blank\">tweeted Brown adviser Dan Newman on Thursday morning\u003c/a>, \"would he give it to banks and ignore families struggling to keep their homes?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What Kashkari found in his week living on the streets of Fresno, where unemployment in June was 10.4 percent, is no doubt true (and perhaps an uncomfortable bit of spotlight for \u003ca href=\"http://www.ashleyforca.com/\" target=\"_blank\">the other prominent Republican running for statewide office, who happens to be the Central Valley city's mayor\u003c/a>). But the money problem that candidate Kashkari really needs to address is purely political: he's raised \u003ca href=\"http://cal-access.sos.ca.gov/Campaign/Candidates/Detail.aspx?id=1362979\" target=\"_blank\">only a small fraction\u003c/a> of the campaign cash \u003ca href=\"http://cal-access.sos.ca.gov/Campaign/Candidates/Detail.aspx?id=1265530\" target=\"_blank\">amassed by Jerry Brown\u003c/a> for the fall contest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in a state where $3 million weekly TV ad buys are still the most effective way to wage a competitive race for governor, the GOP hopeful needs to find a way to turn his poverty platform into more than just a one-week walk on the wrong side of the tracks.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

He said that he was disheartened that a recent statewide ballot measure to tax cigarettes failed but heartened that it received 73 percent support in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Tax policy is a critical part,\" he said. \"The cigarette tax is a great model.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents who have formed a \"Stop Unfair Beverage Taxes\" coalition said today that singling out sugary drinks for taxation is unfair as sugar-sweetened beverage consumption is down while rates of diabetes and obesity have continued to rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Campos and Mar argued that sugary beverages are a big part of the problem because it was easier to consume large quantities of sugar in a drink and metabolize larger quantities of sugar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Hispanic Chambers of Commerce of San Francisco also released a statement objecting to the initiative -- arguing that the new tax and increased prices will impact many already struggling businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor David Campos, who ultimately voted yes today, echoed the comments that the measure would level a regressive tax on low-income communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I do believe in something like this I'm going to err on the side of giving voters a choice,\" he said, but said that he thought there was \"something Big Brother about this.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He and Kim said that the citywide conversation about it leading to the November election will at least improve education about the health effects of sugary drinks.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

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.
