His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

After less than a month on the streets, the scooters are already indispensable to getting around a traffic-choked city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The scooter companies should have known better than to launch without city permission. The scooter companies want to do everything they can to work with the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The scooters are a threat to seniors, the disabled and unwary pedestrians. The scooters are creating job opportunities for city residents who need them most.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The scooters represent what the city could and should be — a center of innovation that embraces the novel, helps pioneer solutions for climate change and gets cars off the street. The scooters represent tech industry hubris, entitlement and arrogance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond those perhaps not-so-self-evident truths — expressed by board members, company representatives and dozens of city residents who shared their thoughts — one incontrovertible fact emerged from the hearing: Regulation is coming, sooner rather than later, for the scooter companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you haven’t been hanging on every twist and turn of San Francisco’s #ScooterWars, here’s a recap: \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three companies (Spin, LimeBike and Bird) distributed hundreds of their stand-up scooters in the city beginning about a month ago: They didn’t ask permission, because while the city had made it clear it was working on regulations, none were in place. But the companies have become the target of rampant complaints about users riding on the sidewalk (illegal), dumping scooters haphazardly on sidewalks (illegal) and riding without helmets (illegal).
