G supporters like Angelica Cabande with the \u003ca href=\"http://www.somcan.org/\">South of Market Community Action Network\u003c/a> say, yes, the measure is strong -- and it needs to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's going to be really hard to just build our way out of the housing crisis,\" Cabande said. \"We need to make sure that people that are already in existing affordable housing are not going to be part of that competition.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whatever the outcome for the two measures, it's likely supporters will be looking for other solutions to San Francisco's housing crunch soon after the election is over.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Jerry Brown's \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/31/us/california-governor-fights-decision-on-teacher-tenure.html\" target=\"_blank\">decision to fight\u003c/a> a controversial \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/11/us/california-teacher-tenure-laws-ruled-unconstitutional.html\" target=\"_blank\">June court decision over teacher seniority\u003c/a> with letting California schoolchildren drown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED California Politics & Government Desk Senior Editor John Myers spoke with Kashkari during a half-hour interview on \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201410161030\" target=\"_blank\">KQED's Forum\u003c/a>. Myers asked Kashkari about the ad -- which features Kashkari pulling a struggling boy from a swimming pool -- and about what motivated it. Part of Kashkari's response:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>Here's the thing: Kids in California -- our schools are ranked 46th -- kids sued the governor and are begging him for a chance at a good education. Governor Brown is fighting them in court. They asked him for a rescue, and he not only said no, he's fighting them. So you're right, I wanted the most powerful image I could to let people know about Jerry Brown's betrayal. What's more shocking -- a 30-second television ad or the fact the governor of California is fighting kids in court who've asked him for a good education? \u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Myers pointed out that the issue Kashkari is alluding to in the ad is teacher tenure. He asked the candidate, \"Do you support any kind of teacher tenure, or would you wipe teacher tenure off the books?\" Kashkari replied:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I'm open-minded, but I know the system we have today is broken. And it wasn't just tenure, it was the fact that right now in our system, if they have to let teachers go, it's just based on who was hired most recently. There could be a terrific young teacher who just got hired last year, and they let that teacher go who's doing a great job, not someone who's been there 20 years and may not be doing as good a job. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so this case forced Jerry Brown to pick sides -- side with the kids or side with the teachers' unions who funded his political career. He betrayed the kids and he's backing the unions, and I want to make sure everyone in California understands what he's done. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>For the record, the Sacramento Bee fact-checked Kashkari's ad (though not the other statements he makes here, obviously). The Bee's verdict: \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/election/ad-watch/article2777591.html\" target=\"_blank\">The ad is somewhat misleading\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can listen to John Myers complete interview with Neel Kashkari here:\u003cbr>\n[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/172466936\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\n",

Jerry Brown's \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/31/us/california-governor-fights-decision-on-teacher-tenure.html\" target=\"_blank\">decision to fight\u003c/a> a controversial \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/11/us/california-teacher-tenure-laws-ruled-unconstitutional.html\" target=\"_blank\">June court decision over teacher seniority\u003c/a> with letting California schoolchildren drown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED California Politics & Government Desk Senior Editor John Myers spoke with Kashkari during a half-hour interview on \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201410161030\" target=\"_blank\">KQED's Forum\u003c/a>. Myers asked Kashkari about the ad -- which features Kashkari pulling a struggling boy from a swimming pool -- and about what motivated it. Part of Kashkari's response:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>Here's the thing: Kids in California -- our schools are ranked 46th -- kids sued the governor and are begging him for a chance at a good education. Governor Brown is fighting them in court. They asked him for a rescue, and he not only said no, he's fighting them. So you're right, I wanted the most powerful image I could to let people know about Jerry Brown's betrayal. What's more shocking -- a 30-second television ad or the fact the governor of California is fighting kids in court who've asked him for a good education? \u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Myers pointed out that the issue Kashkari is alluding to in the ad is teacher tenure. He asked the candidate, \"Do you support any kind of teacher tenure, or would you wipe teacher tenure off the books?\" Kashkari replied:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I'm open-minded, but I know the system we have today is broken. And it wasn't just tenure, it was the fact that right now in our system, if they have to let teachers go, it's just based on who was hired most recently. There could be a terrific young teacher who just got hired last year, and they let that teacher go who's doing a great job, not someone who's been there 20 years and may not be doing as good a job. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so this case forced Jerry Brown to pick sides -- side with the kids or side with the teachers' unions who funded his political career. He betrayed the kids and he's backing the unions, and I want to make sure everyone in California understands what he's done. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>For the record, the Sacramento Bee fact-checked Kashkari's ad (though not the other statements he makes here, obviously). The Bee's verdict: \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/election/ad-watch/article2777591.html\" target=\"_blank\">The ad is somewhat misleading\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

California, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled California’s rules for teacher tenure and dismissal deprive students of their constitutional right to a quality education by keeping inferior teachers in classrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown appealed in August but has said little publicly on the question. His lawyers argued that “changes of this magnitude, as a matter of law and policy, require appellate review.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kashkari’s claim that Brown “betrayed our kids to protect his donors” is based on heavy interest in the Vergara decision by the California Teachers Association, one of Brown’s biggest contributors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the motive ascribed to Brown’s appeal – that he did so “to protect his donors” – is unproven.

They say it's a health issue. Dr. Robert Lustig specializes in pediatric endocrinology at UC San Francisco where he treats a lot of children with diabetes. To Lustig, sugar is the enemy of good health. \"Sugar goes to your liver and makes your liver fat which causes all the chronic metabolic diseases we know about,\" he says, including \"type 2 diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, lipid problems.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sugar-sweetened beverages are concentrated doses of sugar. For example, a can of Coke has nine teaspoons' worth. That extra sugar is helping drive up the rate of type 2 diabetes, among other illnesses, Lustig says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea of a sugary-beverage tax is to make those drinks -- not just sodas, but other beverages such as energy and sports drinks -- more expensive. Then consumption will go down, says Prop. E co-author San Francisco Supervisor Scott Wiener. That's what happened in Mexico after its soda tax took effect on January 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Soda Tax Affect on Consumption\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Mexico with a smaller soda tax experienced a quick 10 percent drop in consumption,\" Wiener said. Since San Francisco's tax is bigger than Mexico's, the consumption could decline as much as 31 percent, \u003ca href=\"http://sfcontroller.org/Modules/ShowDocument.aspx?documentid=5492\" target=\"_blank\">according to an analysis \u003c/a>from the city and county's office of economic analysis. Wiener said that effect would be \"huge.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A huge drop in consumption could lead to a huge drop in revenue for beverage companies. The American Beverage Association's spokesman in the Bay Area is Roger Salazar. \"We think taxing people for the food and beverage choices they make is just bad policy in and of itself,\" Salazar said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He argues that a tax leads to job loss.

Salazar says people running corner grocery stores, for example, work on tight margins and any extra expense can cost jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there's the revenue side. San Francisco's tax is estimated to bring in $35-54 million a year. Supervisor Wiener says that money is specifically earmarked for nutrition and physical activity programs, mainly in schools and parks. \"It will actually create jobs in those areas,\" he said.
