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.",

The system, she said, is “well past” its lifespan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since Woods took over as general manager in 2023, she said BCPUD has had to shut down the town’s water system due to similar leaks a few times. Staffers who had been at the agency for a decade told her they hadn’t had those kinds of shutoffs previously.[aside postID=science_2000531 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2026/04/SnowSurveyApril1-2000x1331.jpg']“That kind of tells you, it’s not super common events, but it looks like the frequency … is upticking, which obviously is not surprising given that the infrastructure is aging,” Woods said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to BCPUD meeting minutes, in February, one major leak on Birch Road required landscaping to be removed, and the water district had to call in a third-party contractor to repair another on Wharf Road. At that meeting, Woods also noted other smaller leaks, including one that was recurrent, on residential streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of these, she said, are due to corrosion that happens over time naturally and can be accelerated by environmental factors, like salt, on the coast. But as the system ages, it’s not easy to find the funds to modernize it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Especially in a rural district where you have very few customers, there’s not a lot of funding to really address the whole overhaul of the system that really would be very beneficial at this stage,” Woods said. “Instead, what we have to do is address these through these kind of little emergency band-aid type of [repairs].”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Saturday, water was shut down across Bolinas between 6:30 p.m. and midnight, as contractor Piazza Construction conducted the emergency repairs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12078888\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1980px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12078888 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/04/GettyImages-2227114475.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1980\" height=\"1320\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/04/GettyImages-2227114475.jpg 1980w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/04/GettyImages-2227114475-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/04/GettyImages-2227114475-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1980px) 100vw, 1980px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A tsunami evacuation route sign is seen in Bolinas, California, on July 30, 2025. \u003ccite>(Stephen Lam/San Francisco Chronicle via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>After the line was restored, the system needed additional time to refill and rebalance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While the transmission main was not compromised, it is important to note that many service lines throughout the district are of similar age and materials,” BCPUD said in a statement after service was restored. “BCPUD’s system relies on components well beyond their original design life, with limited funding available for comprehensive replacement.

Usually, he’ll give lessons through October and sometimes into the first few weeks of November, depending on the weather.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the first weekend of the beach closure, though, he said business has just “fallen off.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s almost nonexistent,” Krieger said. “Usually, I have an online schedule, and I usually fill it with lessons people can book. And I just haven’t filled it up for people to even book because it’s not likely that they’re going to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the first weekend of the partial closure, Krieger was able to give lessons on the eastern portion of Bolinas Beach, between Brighton Avenue and Wharf Road, where no waste was found and which remains open. That is actually the “main break” for surfers, he said, in the channel between Bolinas and Stinson Beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But those reservations were made before the closures were announced. Since then, Krieger hasn’t been booking new lessons and said there has been “almost nobody” on the beach apart from locals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The uncertainty around what’s causing the seepage and when the beach could reopen is especially concerning, Krieger said, noting that even a broken sewer pipe would be easier to plan around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If it’s like, ‘We don’t know what this is, and we don’t know how long it’s been here, but now that we know we have to close the beach,’ it’s like, OK, this may not ever get resolved,” Krieger told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a little scary, honestly, having a business there,” he continued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bolinas Community Public Utility District has confirmed that its water, which is piped in, is safe to drink, and Jones said the Community Development Agency is working on a plan to help locals test private wells on their property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It appears the health risk is confined to the beach. There haven’t been any reports of illness related to the effluent, and water testing conducted along the beachfront found that bacteria levels did not exceed standards for water-contact recreation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If [people are] out in the ocean, it doesn’t appear that there’s a health risk there,” Jones said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

The $484 billion relief package includes more than $300 billion to replenish the Paycheck Protection Program, which was depleted in less than two weeks by small businesses seeking forgivable loans to retain or rehire workers during the pandemic. The federal aid will also provide $25 billion to ramp up nationwide testing for the coronavirus and $75 billion for beleaguered hospitals on the frontlines of fighting the pandemic. Democrats failed, however, to secure funding to help state governments facing massive shortfalls in tax revenues because of the pandemic.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">U.S. Rep.

On Thursday, they wrapped up testing the entire population of Bolinas, the small coastal town in western Marin county. Not only did they look to see who is actively infected, they also took blood samples to screen for antibodies to the coronavirus. Antibody testing helps scientists understand how widely an illness has spread through a community, even if some who’ve been infected don’t show any symptoms. This weekend, they’ll kick off the next phase of the study to sample more than 5,000 residents in San Francisco’s Mission district. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Bryan Greenhouse, associate professor of medicine, UCSF\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>San Luis Obispo’s Push to Reopen Its Economy\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week, a bipartisan group of officials from San Luis Obispo County wrote to Gov. Gavin Newsom to ask for permission to pursue “a phased reopening” of the local economy over the next three weeks. The officials pointed to declining infections and hospitalizations from COVID-19 and a recovery rate of more than 80%, according to county officials. The county is expected to release by the end of the week a road map indicating, for example, which businesses could be allowed to open with social distancing and other safeguards in place. Meanwhile, governors across the nation are experiencing pressure to reopen shuttered businesses and relax stay-at-home directives, with crowds of people amassing at state capitols in recent days in defiance of state orders limiting public gatherings. The governors of Georgia, South Carolina, Oklahoma and Tennessee announced their decisions this week to gradually reopen their economies, including businesses such as gyms, nail salons and barbershops. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Assemblymember Jordan Cunningham, R-San Luis Obispo\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>“Draw Together” Art Class Helps Kids and Parents during Crisis\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many parents who are now unexpectedly homeschooling their children are finding it to be a challenge. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">To help those parents and their kids, best-selling San Francisco-based illustrator Wendy MacNaughton launched “Draw Together with Wendy Mac” — a free, daily half-hour lesson streaming on Instragram on how to draw everything from race cars to penguins.

And he thinks that’s making it even harder for local families to find housing for themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Communities around California share O’Neal’s concern that websites like VRBO and Airbnb are allowing landlords to turn long-term housing for locals into short-term vacation rentals for tourists. However, it’s difficult for communities to get a clear picture of the extent and impact of these rentals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Short-term rental services don’t publicize all of their data, and local governments are not usually given access to the addresses and names of people renting out their homes. San Francisco is an outlier. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11435714/san-francisco-and-airbnb-reach-agreement-to-settle-lawsuit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">After a four-year legal battle\u003c/a>, the city got the companies to give them a list of hosts. San Francisco has hired staff now to oversee the short-term rentals. Other local governments have turned to outside companies, like Host Compliance, to gather data on the short-term vacation rentals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Stinson Beach and Bolinas, Steve O’Neal took the job on himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>O’Neal used to live in San Francisco. He made money in real estate and with a telecom business during the dot-com boom. After traveling and living around the world, he and his wife decided Bolinas was the most ideal place to raise his kids. But when he moved here a year ago, he discovered one problem: The number of families was dwindling rapidly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11723646\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2476px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Screen-Shot-2019-02-05-at-2.59.34-PM.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11723646 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Screen-Shot-2019-02-05-at-2.59.34-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2476\" height=\"1072\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Screen-Shot-2019-02-05-at-2.59.34-PM.png 2476w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Screen-Shot-2019-02-05-at-2.59.34-PM-160x69.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Screen-Shot-2019-02-05-at-2.59.34-PM-800x346.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Screen-Shot-2019-02-05-at-2.59.34-PM-1020x442.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Screen-Shot-2019-02-05-at-2.59.34-PM-1200x520.png 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Screen-Shot-2019-02-05-at-2.59.34-PM-1920x831.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2476px) 100vw, 2476px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Stinson Beach vacation rentals listed on Airbnb.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There are now just 85 kids in the area’s one K-8 elementary school.

However, it’s difficult for communities to get a clear picture of the extent and impact of these rentals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Short-term rental services don’t publicize all of their data, and local governments are not usually given access to the addresses and names of people renting out their homes. San Francisco is an outlier. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11435714/san-francisco-and-airbnb-reach-agreement-to-settle-lawsuit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">After a four-year legal battle\u003c/a>, the city got the companies to give them a list of hosts. San Francisco has hired staff now to oversee the short-term rentals. Other local governments have turned to outside companies, like Host Compliance, to gather data on the short-term vacation rentals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Stinson Beach and Bolinas, Steve O’Neal took the job on himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>O’Neal used to live in San Francisco. He made money in real estate and with a telecom business during the dot-com boom. After traveling and living around the world, he and his wife decided Bolinas was the most ideal place to raise his kids. But when he moved here a year ago, he discovered one problem: The number of families was dwindling rapidly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11723646\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2476px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Screen-Shot-2019-02-05-at-2.59.34-PM.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11723646 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Screen-Shot-2019-02-05-at-2.59.34-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2476\" height=\"1072\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Screen-Shot-2019-02-05-at-2.59.34-PM.png 2476w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Screen-Shot-2019-02-05-at-2.59.34-PM-160x69.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Screen-Shot-2019-02-05-at-2.59.34-PM-800x346.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Screen-Shot-2019-02-05-at-2.59.34-PM-1020x442.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Screen-Shot-2019-02-05-at-2.59.34-PM-1200x520.png 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Screen-Shot-2019-02-05-at-2.59.34-PM-1920x831.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2476px) 100vw, 2476px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Stinson Beach vacation rentals listed on Airbnb.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There are now just 85 kids in the area’s one K-8 elementary school. As recently as 2000, there was double that number. You can also see the decline in residents at the post office. There used to be a waiting list for P.O. boxes. Now 200 of the 700 boxes are empty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>O’Neal worries the towns are entering death spiral territory, where some families leave not because the school is bad or the housing unaffordable. To quantify the number and effect of short-term rentals, O’Neal had to become a detective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first place he visits is Google Earth. He looks at pictures of houses and tries to match them with online listings. He then confirms the addresses by driving by the places himself. Finally, he checks public records to see if the owners are local.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When O’Neal finished gathering all his data, he found that 130 homes were being rented by people who didn’t live in the community. That is substantial he said, considering there’s only 1,000 households in all of Bolinas and Stinson, according to the most recent U.S. census data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>O’Neal said he has no problem with people renting out a room or in-law for extra income.
