Tuck, the former Los Angeles charter school official, appears to have lost a slight lead over the incumbent in a Field Poll two months ago -- a point highlighted by the superintendent's team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's clear that some voters are having second thoughts about putting a former Wall Street banker with no teaching experience in charge of California's election system,\" said Paul Hefner, Torlakson's campaign manager.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But on the other hand, Torlakson is a veteran Democratic elected official and hasn't convinced a majority of voters that he deserves another four years running the state Department of Education. And Team Tuck is all too happy to highlight that fact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The significant number of undecideds,\" said Tuck spokesperson Cynara Lilly, \"prove the point that the voters are frustrated with the state of California schools.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Torlakson-Tuck fight has easily set the fundraising record for a state superintendent's race. While the candidates have spent almost a combined $4.3 million, it's the independent expenditure groups that have really dumped cash into the contest. Those groups alone have dumped more than $17 million into the race, with most of that total in support of Tuck. The single largest outside contributor has been the politically powerful California Teachers Association, with more than $4.3 million in support of its longtime ally Torlakson. The biggest single benefactor for Tuck is Manhattan Beach real estate executive \u003ca href=\"http://rainmaker.apps.cironline.org/donors/william-e-bloomfield-jr/\" target=\"_blank\">William Bloomfield Jr.\u003c/a>, who's chipped in $2.25 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The race has undoubtedly become supercharged in the wake of the ruling in \u003cem>Vergara vs. California\u003c/em>, where \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/11/us/california-teacher-tenure-laws-ruled-unconstitutional.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">a Los Angeles judge wrote that the state's teacher tenure laws\u003c/a> have a \"real and appreciable impact\" on educational opportunities for low-income students. The ruling has been appealed, and the two men stand at opposite ends of the Vergara battlefield -- Torlakson as a critic of the ruling, Tuck as a supporter of changes to the tenure system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And like most close elections, it's the makeup of the electorate that may prove the difference. The Field Poll finds Torlakson ahead with liberal, white voters and in a particularly strong position in his home turf of the Bay Area. Tuck (who is also a Democrat, for what it's worth) leads among Republicans, Latinos and Los Angeles voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other races measured by the new poll:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Governor\u003c/strong>: Brown continues to dominate this race, and is handily beating Kashkari in pretty much every voter subgroup -- a consistent theme in this race now for months. In fact, Kashkari has already started talking about \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/politics/la-me-pol-kashkari-20141029-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">his first task after the election: to find a job\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lt. Governor\u003c/strong>: Incumbent Gavin Newsom holds a 10-point lead over GOP challenger Ron Nehring, 47 percent to 37 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Attorney General\u003c/strong>: Incumbent Kamala Harris holds a 13-point lead over GOP challenger Ron Gold, 49 percent to 36 percent. Harris, by the way, \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201410290930\" target=\"_blank\">had a spirited half-hour discussion Wednesday about her race on KQED's Forum\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Controller\u003c/strong>: In one of the races closely watched for a possible Republican breakthrough, Democrat Betty Yee still leads GOP challenger Ashley Swearengin since late August, but Swearengin has narrowed the gap to 8 points, 44 percent to 36 percent. One in five likely voters in this new poll remain undecided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Secretary of State\u003c/strong>: In the other intriguing race, Democrat Alex Padilla holds a 7-point advantage over Republican Pete Peterson, 44 percent to 37 percent. Peterson has won a number of newspaper endorsements, but the veteran legislator Padilla has a strong fundraising edge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Treasurer\u003c/strong>: Democrat John Chiang, attempting to move from state controller to California's top banker, leads Republican Greg Conlon by 11 points -- though Chiang had a huge 26-point lead two months ago. This race has been, frankly, a yawner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Insurance Commissioner\u003c/strong>: Incumbent Democrat Dave Jones is leading GOP challenger Ted Gaines by 12 points, though there are more undecided voters -- 22 percent -- than in any race other than schools chief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It should be noted that the Field Poll assumes the Nov. 4 electorate will be noticeably more Republican than the party's official statewide registration (by about 6 points). That may make some of these races other than governor not quite as predictable as they now seem -- especially seeing as only 28 percent of Field's likely voters consider themselves to be liberal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>UPDATE: This post was tweaked Thursday morning to reflect a more accurate total of independent expenditures from the major players, which turned out to be higher than our first stab at the math, and to reflect that most of that money is in support of Marshall Tuck.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Tuck, the former Los Angeles charter school official, appears to have lost a slight lead over the incumbent in a Field Poll two months ago -- a point highlighted by the superintendent's team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's clear that some voters are having second thoughts about putting a former Wall Street banker with no teaching experience in charge of California's election system,\" said Paul Hefner, Torlakson's campaign manager.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But on the other hand, Torlakson is a veteran Democratic elected official and hasn't convinced a majority of voters that he deserves another four years running the state Department of Education. And Team Tuck is all too happy to highlight that fact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The significant number of undecideds,\" said Tuck spokesperson Cynara Lilly, \"prove the point that the voters are frustrated with the state of California schools.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Torlakson-Tuck fight has easily set the fundraising record for a state superintendent's race. While the candidates have spent almost a combined $4.3 million, it's the independent expenditure groups that have really dumped cash into the contest. Those groups alone have dumped more than $17 million into the race, with most of that total in support of Tuck. The single largest outside contributor has been the politically powerful California Teachers Association, with more than $4.3 million in support of its longtime ally Torlakson. The biggest single benefactor for Tuck is Manhattan Beach real estate executive \u003ca href=\"http://rainmaker.apps.cironline.org/donors/william-e-bloomfield-jr/\" target=\"_blank\">William Bloomfield Jr.\u003c/a>, who's chipped in $2.25 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The race has undoubtedly become supercharged in the wake of the ruling in \u003cem>Vergara vs. California\u003c/em>, where \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/11/us/california-teacher-tenure-laws-ruled-unconstitutional.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">a Los Angeles judge wrote that the state's teacher tenure laws\u003c/a> have a \"real and appreciable impact\" on educational opportunities for low-income students. The ruling has been appealed, and the two men stand at opposite ends of the Vergara battlefield -- Torlakson as a critic of the ruling, Tuck as a supporter of changes to the tenure system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And like most close elections, it's the makeup of the electorate that may prove the difference. The Field Poll finds Torlakson ahead with liberal, white voters and in a particularly strong position in his home turf of the Bay Area. Tuck (who is also a Democrat, for what it's worth) leads among Republicans, Latinos and Los Angeles voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other races measured by the new poll:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Governor\u003c/strong>: Brown continues to dominate this race, and is handily beating Kashkari in pretty much every voter subgroup -- a consistent theme in this race now for months. In fact, Kashkari has already started talking about \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/politics/la-me-pol-kashkari-20141029-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">his first task after the election: to find a job\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lt. Governor\u003c/strong>: Incumbent Gavin Newsom holds a 10-point lead over GOP challenger Ron Nehring, 47 percent to 37 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Attorney General\u003c/strong>: Incumbent Kamala Harris holds a 13-point lead over GOP challenger Ron Gold, 49 percent to 36 percent. Harris, by the way, \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201410290930\" target=\"_blank\">had a spirited half-hour discussion Wednesday about her race on KQED's Forum\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Controller\u003c/strong>: In one of the races closely watched for a possible Republican breakthrough, Democrat Betty Yee still leads GOP challenger Ashley Swearengin since late August, but Swearengin has narrowed the gap to 8 points, 44 percent to 36 percent. One in five likely voters in this new poll remain undecided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Secretary of State\u003c/strong>: In the other intriguing race, Democrat Alex Padilla holds a 7-point advantage over Republican Pete Peterson, 44 percent to 37 percent. Peterson has won a number of newspaper endorsements, but the veteran legislator Padilla has a strong fundraising edge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Treasurer\u003c/strong>: Democrat John Chiang, attempting to move from state controller to California's top banker, leads Republican Greg Conlon by 11 points -- though Chiang had a huge 26-point lead two months ago. This race has been, frankly, a yawner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Insurance Commissioner\u003c/strong>: Incumbent Democrat Dave Jones is leading GOP challenger Ted Gaines by 12 points, though there are more undecided voters -- 22 percent -- than in any race other than schools chief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It should be noted that the Field Poll assumes the Nov. 4 electorate will be noticeably more Republican than the party's official statewide registration (by about 6 points). That may make some of these races other than governor not quite as predictable as they now seem -- especially seeing as only 28 percent of Field's likely voters consider themselves to be liberal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>UPDATE: This post was tweaked Thursday morning to reflect a more accurate total of independent expenditures from the major players, which turned out to be higher than our first stab at the math, and to reflect that most of that money is in support of Marshall Tuck.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The syrup is taxed according to the largest volume, in fluid ounces, that could be produced from the sugar-sweetened syrup. For example, if a distributor sells a 12-ounce bottle of syrup and that syrup can be used to make 144 ounces of beverage, the tax is levied on the 144 ounces of beverage.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_20568\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/wp-content/uploads/sites/27/2014/08/13556198874_fdf70c448e_z.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-20568\" title=\"\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/wp-content/uploads/sites/27/2014/08/13556198874_fdf70c448e_z.jpg\" alt=\"Gatorade was one of the 21 beverages analyzed in the study.

If the drinks are pre-bottled and have added sugar, they are subject to the tax. But if they are made by a barista at, say, Starbucks, then the Berkeley and San Francisco measures handle coffee drinks differently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, drinks prepared one by one (in other words, not pre-packaged) would not be taxed. The campaign manager for Yes on Proposition E told me that trying to assess the number of pumps of sweetener for each drink would pose an administrative burden on businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Berkeley would tax flavored coffee drinks made individually. The distributor would pay a tax based on the quantity of sweetener used according to the printed instructions. For example, Starbucks likely provides instruction about how many pumps of sweetener to put in each drink. The distributor would pay a tax according to that calculation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you buy an unsweetened coffee and then add the sweetener yourself, that additional sweetener is not taxed. In fact, if you buy any drink and add sugar or other caloric sweetener to it after you have purchased it, the additional sweetener will not be taxed. The tax is on the beverage, not on the sugar an individual adds to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>People can debate the merits of a sugar-sweetened beverage tax. The American Beverage Association\u003ca title=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/10/10/beverage-industry-spends-big-to-defeat-berkeley-measure-d\" href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/10/10/beverage-industry-spends-big-to-defeat-berkeley-measure-d\" target=\"_blank\"> is spending big\u003c/a> to defeat these taxes. One of its strategies, especially in Berkeley, is to insist that Measure D contains \"loopholes,\" and that it's confusing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I frankly don't find it confusing. If your favorite drink contains added sugar and has little other nutritional value, then more than likely it is subject to the tax. If it has nutritional value, such as milk or meal replacement drinks, it is not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"title": "What Does Chevron Stand to Gain From Big Spending in Richmond Elections?",
"headTitle": "California Election Watch 2014 | News Fix | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>Chevron has poured millions into a campaign committee to influence Richmond’s mayoral and City Council elections, and the unprecedented spending has fueled questions about what the oil titan hopes to achieve with the best city government its money can buy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why so much and why now?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re Chevron, you’re probably asking yourself, ‘Why not?’ ” said current council member and mayoral candidate Tom Butt. “There’s no reason you wouldn’t want to control the city that in turn has regulatory control on your investment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robert Smith, a political scientist at San Francisco State University who’s been watching Richmond closely, said Chevron’s thinly veiled influence this election season might backfire and draw new, unsympathetic voters to the booth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such large amounts of money might “offend people’s democratic sensibilities, people who might otherwise be uninterested,” he said. “Throwing your weight around that excessively is just going beyond the pale.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That weight has already amounted to about $3 million in the company’s campaign committee, Moving Forward. The money supports Nat Bates for mayor and Donna Powers, Al Martinez and Charles Ramsey for City Council. Almost $1 million of the chest has funded a flurry of hit pieces and commercials denigrating their opponents, candidates who are members of the Richmond Progressive Alliance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The $3 million this year is a further escalation of big spending since 2010, when the council came under non-Chevron control for the first time ever. In 2012, Chevron spent $1.4 million trying to fill three council seats with its three favored candidates, while opposing progressive candidates Eduardo Martinez and Marilyn Langlois. In that race, two of the Chevron-backed candidates, Nat Bates and Gary Bell, won. But Bell fell ill and died before he could take his seat. Martinez and Langlois finished fourth and fifth, respectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The RPA, spearheaded by Mayor Gayle McLaughlin, points to two likely reasons Chevron seems so bent on gaining a majority of the council (four of seven) on this next term. First, the company wants selective, soft oversight on its $1 billion modernization project.

The money supports Nat Bates for mayor and Donna Powers, Al Martinez and Charles Ramsey for City Council. Almost $1 million of the chest has funded a flurry of hit pieces and commercials denigrating their opponents, candidates who are members of the Richmond Progressive Alliance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The $3 million this year is a further escalation of big spending since 2010, when the council came under non-Chevron control for the first time ever. In 2012, Chevron spent $1.4 million trying to fill three council seats with its three favored candidates, while opposing progressive candidates Eduardo Martinez and Marilyn Langlois. In that race, two of the Chevron-backed candidates, Nat Bates and Gary Bell, won. But Bell fell ill and died before he could take his seat. Martinez and Langlois finished fourth and fifth, respectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The RPA, spearheaded by Mayor Gayle McLaughlin, points to two likely reasons Chevron seems so bent on gaining a majority of the council (four of seven) on this next term. First, the company wants selective, soft oversight on its $1 billion modernization project. Second, a Chevron-sympathetic council could reduce the asking price on the 2012 refinery fire lawsuit—or throw it out altogether.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They don’t want us to put a critical eye on refinery operations,” McLaughlin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chevron spokesman Braden Reddall said the company’s campaign is focused on an effort to ensure a business-friendly Richmond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Chevron supports city leaders who share our commitment to policies that foster an economic environment,” he wrote in an email, “where business can thrive and create jobs to make Richmond an even more attractive place to live and work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McLaughlin said that even before the smoke from the refinery fire rose in 2012, a stigma lingered in Richmond’s air.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Businesses and families think twice about coming here,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Progressives say the company has fueled that stigma with a history of cutting corners and substandard environmental and safety considerations.

According to official statistics from the San Jose Police Department, the rate of burglaries for every 100,000 San Jose residents has gone up by more than 40 percent since 2009. The rate of auto theft is up 51 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are many reasons but the biggest one, residents say, is that there simply aren’t enough police officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We would like to see good complete law enforcement all across the board,” said David Eggulston, a Willow Glen resident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Jose Police Department has lost about 380 cops over the last five years. The department was at a high point in staffing when the 2008 recession hit, and the force has dwindled steadily ever since.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hayward Police Chief Diane Urban was on the San Jose police force for 25 years. She says the worst of the cuts hit the force in 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I will tell you I still have stress, post-traumatic stress, from the week I left,” Urban said. “The day it was announced I was becoming chief in Hayward, we gave about 84 pink slips out to our police officers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To cope with the ongoing budget cuts, the department started closing down special units: the violent crime enforcement team and the burglary unit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Any chief in the country is going to tell you that the No. 1 priority is to staff patrol,” Urban said. “So when you can no longer staff patrol effectively, to have enough men and women on the streets to protect people when they pick up the phone, you have to start closing down units.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10345514\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 488px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/10/image-1.jpeg\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-10345514\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/10/image-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Residents of San Jose's Evergreen neighborhood gather at city hall to demand action to reduce crime.

San Jose voters in 2012 approved reforms that changed disability benefits and asked city employees to contribute more to their pensions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some former San Jose police officers say it’s one reason they left the force. Ten of them are now with the Hayward Police Department. George Beattie, who once headed the Police Officers Association in San Jose, said in Hayward he gets better pay and benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every officer, including those who came before and after me, says they came for the same reason -- financial security,” said Beattie, now Hayward PD’s personnel and training administrator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Actually, the city lost a small number of officers after pension reform compared with what happened after the recession.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'It’s really going to change the area if it becomes unsafe.

And that’s why he was outside the San Jose City Council chambers last week with roughly 100 homeowners from the city’s Evergreen neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tran asked how many people had been crime victims, and several dozen raised their hands.

(Olivia Allen-Price/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This didn’t just start. It’s been going on for about five years. According to official statistics from the San Jose Police Department, the rate of burglaries for every 100,000 San Jose residents has gone up by more than 40 percent since 2009. The rate of auto theft is up 51 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are many reasons but the biggest one, residents say, is that there simply aren’t enough police officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We would like to see good complete law enforcement all across the board,” said David Eggulston, a Willow Glen resident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Jose Police Department has lost about 380 cops over the last five years. The department was at a high point in staffing when the 2008 recession hit, and the force has dwindled steadily ever since.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hayward Police Chief Diane Urban was on the San Jose police force for 25 years. She says the worst of the cuts hit the force in 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I will tell you I still have stress, post-traumatic stress, from the week I left,” Urban said. “The day it was announced I was becoming chief in Hayward, we gave about 84 pink slips out to our police officers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To cope with the ongoing budget cuts, the department started closing down special units: the violent crime enforcement team and the burglary unit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Any chief in the country is going to tell you that the No. 1 priority is to staff patrol,” Urban said. “So when you can no longer staff patrol effectively, to have enough men and women on the streets to protect people when they pick up the phone, you have to start closing down units.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10345514\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 488px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/10/image-1.jpeg\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-10345514\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/10/image-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Residents of San Jose's Evergreen neighborhood gather at city hall to demand action to reduce crime.

San Jose voters in 2012 approved reforms that changed disability benefits and asked city employees to contribute more to their pensions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some former San Jose police officers say it’s one reason they left the force. Ten of them are now with the Hayward Police Department. George Beattie, who once headed the Police Officers Association in San Jose, said in Hayward he gets better pay and benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every officer, including those who came before and after me, says they came for the same reason -- financial security,” said Beattie, now Hayward PD’s personnel and training administrator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Actually, the city lost a small number of officers after pension reform compared with what happened after the recession.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'It’s really going to change the area if it becomes unsafe.

And each is trying to convince voters he’s the one who can make the city safer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Violent crime was higher when I came into office in 2007 -- and Dave Cortese was vice mayor -- than it was last year,” Liccardo said at the Santa Clara County Bench/Bar debate last month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cortese shot back: “I think it lacks credibility to say people feel safe in their neighborhood, that we are safer than we were six, seven or eight years ago.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voters like Brian Tran just want officers to show up when they have a problem. And that’s why he was outside the San Jose City Council chambers last week with roughly 100 homeowners from the city’s Evergreen neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tran asked how many people had been crime victims, and several dozen raised their hands. Last month, there were 95 reported burglaries in Evergreen. Tran’s house was ransacked in August.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I’ve lived in the United States for 35 years -- first time I’m speaking out,\" Tran said. “What’s being done to the people in Evergreen, being done to San Jose, is not fair.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tran and other residents want more than rhetoric from the next mayor. They want neighborhood command centers, more police and more patrols -- whether it’s in middle-class Evergreen or affluent Willow Glen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lissa Minkin of Willow Glen says the quality of life in her neighborhood is deteriorating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And we know there are issues with San Jose as a whole in terms of not having enough police coverage,” Minkin said. “So I really want to see that change.
