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.",

It was put in place by Newsom, not the state Legislature. But lawmakers likely will debate a number of vaccine proposals this year, including ones that could affect businesses and public places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It should be parents’ choice, not lawmakers, not the governor,” said Melinda Rodriguez, 43, who attended the rally with her 7-year-old daughter, Maliyaa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom, a Democrat, must present his proposed budget within the next week, months after he approved a record spending plan topped by a $75 billion surplus.

His SB 467 would allow people to appeal if they previously were convicted based on the discredited testimony.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not to be outdone, Sen. Dave Cortese of Campbell said he anticipates legislation in 13 areas, including the environment, universal basic income, criminal sentencing, employment, tenant protections and public health and safety. Six are holdovers that failed to pass last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All are Democrats, who dominate the Legislature and thus largely direct what bills make it to Gov. Newsom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several lawmakers proposed legislation even before the Legislature’s return. They include measures making it easer for district attorneys to prosecute organized retail thefts and responding to Newsom’s call for a Texas-style law that would allow individuals to sue manufactures of illegal ghost guns and assault weapons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aside from technical issues, opening day was marred by reminders of the surging coronavirus pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Republican Leader Scott Wilk said he tested positive on Sunday before returning to Sacramento, but has no symptoms. Democratic Assemblymember Miguel Santiago said his two children tested positive so his entire family is in quarantine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A couple hundred protesters gathered outside the west entrance of the state Capitol, demonstrating against the state’s upcoming coronavirus vaccine mandate for schoolchildren. Lawmakers were greeted by numerous signs, including a flag draped across some camping chairs that declared “Wake Up \u003ca href=\"https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/sheeple\">Sheeple\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vaccine mandate for schoolchildren won’t take effect until later this year. It was put in place by Newsom, not the state Legislature. But lawmakers likely will debate a number of vaccine proposals this year, including ones that could affect businesses and public places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It should be parents’ choice, not lawmakers, not the governor,” said Melinda Rodriguez, 43, who attended the rally with her 7-year-old daughter, Maliyaa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom, a Democrat, must present his proposed budget within the next week, months after he approved a record spending plan topped by a $75 billion surplus. Legislative analysts predict the state will have another $31 billion surplus for the fiscal year starting July 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers also have a Jan. 31 deadline to advance bills held over from last year that never cleared their house of origin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats start the year with somewhat depleted ranks, though not enough to challenge their overwhelming majority. Democratic Assemblymembers David Chiu, Ed Chau and Jim Frazier all resigned to take other jobs, forcing upcoming special elections. And Assemblymember Lorena Gonzalez, who has led the powerful Appropriations Committee, announced Monday that she is resigning this week to become the next chief executive of the California Labor Federation starting in July.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Returning to the floor today is a bit bittersweet for me. It’s the last day I’ll serve with all of you,” Gonzalez told her colleagues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Associated Press writers Adam Beam and Jocelyn Gecker contributed to this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That package includes $3.2 billion to fast-track the state’s goal of 5 million zero-emission vehicles on the road by 2030.

That’s a 16.4% increase over the last year and the largest homeless population the state has seen since at least 2007. Driven by the spike in California, the nation’s homeless population increased by 2.7% this year, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11792743/hud-report-2-7-uptick-in-nations-homeless-population-due-to-california-spike\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">federal government report\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, about 8,000 people were counted in the streets or in shelters, representing a 17% increase from 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s executive order asks state agencies, including Caltrans, to identify state-owned property that counties, cities and nonprofits can temporarily use to provide shelter and related health care and social services. The order directs his administration to identify some of the properties, so long as it doesn't delay the development of affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This builds on recent leases that Caltrans worked closely with local partners to execute — including the cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, Stockton and San Diego,” Caltrans spokesperson Kyle Simerly said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency said it would have more details in the coming days on how local partners will use Caltrans property on a short-term emergency basis to house homeless individuals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Certain counties and cities could qualify to receive travel trailers and modular tent buildings. Vacant or decommissioned hospitals, clinics and fairgrounds are on the table as well, especially in areas where entire communities became homeless overnight in destructive wildfires. Also, a “strike team” is being formed to help local governments address homelessness on the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That includes cities like Santa Rosa, where hundreds of displaced residents were housed during wildfire evacuations at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds. Sonoma County Supervisor Lynda Hopkins supports the idea of using the space to house the homeless and has previously floated the idea of a sanctioned encampment at the fairgrounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we can house people there during a natural disaster, why can’t we house people who are currently homeless,” said Hopkins, whose district includes a mile-long homeless encampment along Santa Rosa's Joe Rodota Trail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The executive order come two days before Newsom is expected to release details of his proposed budget, which includes $695 million to expand Medi-Cal to pay for housing and supportive services for the chronically homeless. Programs such as recuperative care or navigation centers try to keep people from making repeat visits to emergency rooms or expensive health care clinics by offering housing and medical needs at home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To address mental health, Newsom is proposing $24.6 million to start a six-year pilot program in three counties that would find housing in the community for people deemed incompetent to stand trial, instead of having them stay in state mental hospitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"homelessness\" label=\"related coverage\"]Newsom said compassion for those who are homeless “isn’t allowing a person suffering a severe psychotic break or from a lethal substance abuse addiction to literally drift towards death on our streets and sidewalks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump has\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1214333364204974082?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> dogged\u003c/a> California and its Democratic leadership for its homelessness epidemic since his visit last spring and even threatened to impose tough policies if the state doesn't make significant improvements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Newsom isn’t taking all the responsibility for ending homelessness. He said local government leaders are “critical to implementing homeless solutions in their own communities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Californians are demanding that all levels of government — federal, state and local — do more to get people off the streets and into services, whether that’s emergency housing, mental health services, substance abuse treatment or all of the above,” Newsom said in the statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland Mayor Libby Schaff applauded Newsom’s announcement, saying the new fund demonstrates that state and local priorities regarding homelessness are in agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We must do more than just shelter people,” said Schaff, who was appointed by Newsom to a state advisory group on homelessness in July. “We must prevent people from becoming homeless in the first place and we must get them permanently and securely housed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of his executive order, the state will develop accountability metrics that are tied to funding, which will measure whether local governments are making progress on getting people off the streets and into shelter.

That’s a 16.4% increase over the last year and the largest homeless population the state has seen since at least 2007. Driven by the spike in California, the nation’s homeless population increased by 2.7% this year, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11792743/hud-report-2-7-uptick-in-nations-homeless-population-due-to-california-spike\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">federal government report\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, about 8,000 people were counted in the streets or in shelters, representing a 17% increase from 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s executive order asks state agencies, including Caltrans, to identify state-owned property that counties, cities and nonprofits can temporarily use to provide shelter and related health care and social services. The order directs his administration to identify some of the properties, so long as it doesn't delay the development of affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This builds on recent leases that Caltrans worked closely with local partners to execute — including the cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, Stockton and San Diego,” Caltrans spokesperson Kyle Simerly said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency said it would have more details in the coming days on how local partners will use Caltrans property on a short-term emergency basis to house homeless individuals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Certain counties and cities could qualify to receive travel trailers and modular tent buildings. Vacant or decommissioned hospitals, clinics and fairgrounds are on the table as well, especially in areas where entire communities became homeless overnight in destructive wildfires. Also, a “strike team” is being formed to help local governments address homelessness on the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That includes cities like Santa Rosa, where hundreds of displaced residents were housed during wildfire evacuations at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds. Sonoma County Supervisor Lynda Hopkins supports the idea of using the space to house the homeless and has previously floated the idea of a sanctioned encampment at the fairgrounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we can house people there during a natural disaster, why can’t we house people who are currently homeless,” said Hopkins, whose district includes a mile-long homeless encampment along Santa Rosa's Joe Rodota Trail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
