"content": "\u003cp>Voting rights was a topic of spirited debate at California’s first Constitutional Convention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 48 delegates gathered in Monterey in the fall of 1849 argued over whether to extend the right to vote to former Mexican citizens and Indigenous people; how long gold-seeking migrants would need to reside in the state to cast a ballot; and whether dueling should be punished with the loss of the franchise — also known as the right to vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At that time, there was little discussion about the voting rights of Californians convicted of crimes. The issue was settled quickly and quietly, and the resolution would remain largely untouched for more than a century. [pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Assemblyman Kevin McCarty (D-Sacramento), the author of Proposition 17\"]‘If you look at the percentage of people who are on parole and can’t vote, they are people of color … California, for all our progressiveness, we’re really behind the curve on this.’ [/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More recently, in the 60s and 70s, California’s courts and the electorate took a new look at the disenfranchisement of formerly incarcerated people, and in 1974, voting rights were extended to all Californians convicted of a felony, upon completion of their parole term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, California voters are weighing whether to approve another change to voting rights for former prisoners. Proposition 17 on the November ballot would restore voting rights to parolees upon their release from state prison — before successfully completing their parole.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Its passage would mark the latest turn in the state’s winding history of voting rights for Californians in the criminal justice system — a history driven by oscillating views on what crimes, and which Californians, should be punished with the loss of the right to vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Part of this back and forth, and the level of disagreement we still have about these issues, is rooted in this disagreement about what punishment is and what rehabilitation is,” said Pippa Holloway, professor of history at the University of Richmond, in Virginia.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Infamous Crimes\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>With little controversy, California’s constitutional delegates approved Article II, Section 5 of the state’s constitution in 1849, which stated that “No idiot or insane person, or person convicted of any infamous crime, shall be entitled to the privileges of an elector.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what was an \u003cem>infamous\u003c/em> crime?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The term was a hold-over from English law that made its way into many U.S. state constitutions, including California’s, said Holloway, author of “Living in Infamy: Felon Disfranchisement and the History of American Citizenship.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11841889\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 641px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11841889\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Stanley_Mosk.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"641\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Stanley_Mosk.jpg 641w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Stanley_Mosk-160x200.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 641px) 100vw, 641px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Stanley Mosk, Associate Justice of the California Supreme Court, 1964-2001. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of California State Library)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>‘Infamous’ could refer to the severity or social impact of the crime, but also to the severity of the resulting punishment, such as a branding or whipping that could leave a permanent mark on the prisoner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In early American history, the impreciseness of the term led to some surprising applications of disenfranchisement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The really most obvious and jarring example of this is the crime of murder. Under historic American interpretations of the law, murder was not an infamous crime,” Holloway said. “And the belief was that murder, as well as other certain crimes of violence, were not infamous because there was a belief that a violent act might be kind of pure, that it didn’t evidence planning, it didn’t evidence a broader social malice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the Civil War, lawmakers and judges in southern states used the flexibility of the term to exclude African American voters, by lowering the bar for crimes deemed ‘infamous.’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, application of the law varied. Most courts through the early 20th century equated an ‘infamous crime’ with a felony. But the legislature confused matters by specifying the loss of voting rights for embezzlement or \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">misappropriation \u003c/span>of public funds. As a result, interpretation was largely left to county clerks and election officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>A New Focus on the ‘Integrity of the Elective Process’ \u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In the spring of 1966, the California Supreme Court issued a ruling that upended previous practices of felon disenfranchisement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case involved James Otsuka, a Los Angeles resident who lost his right to vote after he was imprisoned for being a conscientious objector to the second World War. He had served his sentence decades earlier, and petitioned the court for the right to vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court not only sided with Otsuka, they also demanded that voting rights only be stripped of Californians convicted of crimes that directly threatened the election process, like voter fraud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The unreasonableness of a classification disfranchising all former felons, regardless of their crime, is readily demonstrable,” wrote Justice Stanley Mosk, in \u003ca href=\"https://scocal.stanford.edu/opinion/otsuka-v-hite-27340#FFN_19\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the majority opinion\u003c/a>. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It raises the spectre of citizens automatically deprived of their right to vote upon conviction, for example, of seduction under promise of marriage…wife-beating…failure to provide family support…conduct which is but little detrimental to society at large and is totally unrelated to the goal of preservation of the integrity of the elective process.” [aside tag=\"election2020\" label=\"More Related Stories\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 4-3 ruling in \u003cem>Otsuka v. Hite \u003c/em>left California with “a distinctly modern interpretation,” of infamous crimes, Holloway said — one judging that only threats to the ballot box should result in a loss of voting rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as critics of the ruling predicted, the new standard of ‘infamous crimes’ was again difficult for local election officials to put into practice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By what standard is the Registrar of Voters to determine whether one convicted of crime is thereby branded as a ‘threat to the integrity of the elective process’?” wondered Justice Louis Burke, in his dissent. “For example, would murder qualify?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scattershot implementation of the ruling meant the decision to exclude Californians convicted of felonies would largely rest with county officials for the next decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Voters End Confusion with Proposition 10\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>A survey of California counties in 1972 found that voting rights for former inmates varied county by county. Some local election officials refused to restore voting rights to any former prisoner, others created a list of crimes resulting in permanent disenfranchisement — and still others considered each former inmates’ case separately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Courts were also divided on the issue: the California Supreme Court ruled in 1973 that permanent voter exclusion following a conviction for an ‘infamous crime’ violated equal protections rights. A year later, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned that decision in \u003cem>Richardson v. Ramirez, \u003c/em>ruling that convicted felons had no constitutional right to vote. The decision justified the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/felon-voting-rights.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">disenfranchisement laws\u003c/a> that now exist in dozens of states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue was finally decided on the ballot. In 1974, the state Legislature put Proposition 10 before voters, which proposed to eliminate the “infamous crime” statue from the state constitution. In its place, it proposed the “disqualification of electors while mentally incompetent or imprisoned or on parole for the conviction of a felony.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure was backed by Democrats, including San Francisco Sen. George Moscone and Los Angeles Assemblyman Julian Dixon. They argued against lifelong disenfranchisement, and sought to end the patchwork of county-level decisions on voting rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The objective of reintegrating ex-felons into society is dramatically impeded by continued restriction of the right to vote,” they wrote in that year’s voter information guide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Los Angeles Times reported at the time that Proposition 10 was among the measures that “failed to cause much controversy during the fall election campaign.” And on Election Day, as California voters sent Jerry Brown to the governor’s office for the first time, Proposition 10 was approved with 56% of the vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That left California’s law on felon disenfranchisement as it exists today: voting rights can only be restored to those convicted of a felony upon completion of their parole term — a period of supervision following an inmates’ release from prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats and groups like the League of Women Voters had succeeded in ending the uncertainty of the ‘infamous crime’ statute and moved the state away from lifetime disfranchisement of former inmates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as with so many California ballot measures, Proposition 10 carried an underlying consequence: by aligning disenfranchisement with any felony (instead of specific crimes that threatened the “\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">integrity of the elective process”\u003c/span>) it married suffrage to an expanding criminal justice system that disproportionately impacted Black and Latino Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>A Modern ‘Poll Tax’? \u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Over the ensuing decades, the number of Californians on parole for a felony skyrocketed. A \u003ca href=\"https://www.law.berkeley.edu/files/bccj/CA_in_Context_Policy_Brief_Sept_2012_Final.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">report from the UC Berkeley School of Law\u003c/a> found an incredible 708% increase in the state’s parole population between 1980 and 2010 — among the largest jumps in the nation over that period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jose Gonzalez is among the Californians whose parole term is set for life. He spent nearly two decades in state prison for his involvement in a murder as a teenager.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By the time I was 17, I was already sentenced and sitting in a state maximum security adult facility,” Gonzalez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After his release, Gonzalez got a degree and is now working and raising his son, but his lifetime parole term prevents him from voting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a taxpayer, as a regular person, you want to have a say,” Gonzalez said. “And if you feel like you don’t, then at the worst you’re not invested in your community. You don’t have that attachment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Black and Latino Californians are disproportionately represented among parolees, \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/publication/californias-changing-parole-population/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according to a study from the Public Policy Institute of California\u003c/a>. By the end of 2016, Black Californians accounted for 6% of the state’s adult population, but 26% of the state’s parole population. And Latinos made up 35% of the adult population, but 40% of those on parole.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblyman Kevin McCarty (D-Sacramento), the author of Proposition 17 on this year’s ballot, said the racial makeup of the state’s parole population makes the current punishment of disenfranchisement “really kind of like poll taxes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003c/b>\u003cem>“\u003c/em>If you look at the percentage of people who are on parole and can’t vote, they are people of color,” McCarty said. “California, for all our progressiveness, we’re really behind the curve on this\u003ci>.” \u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Progressives seeking to expand voting rights for formerly incarcerated Californians have chosen not to go as far as the arguments of the 1960s and 1970s, when jurists questioned the very premise of stripping voting rights for crimes that have no relation to the electoral process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, they have slowly chipped away at a declining population of disqualified voters.

Under historic American interpretations of the law, murder was not an infamous crime,” Holloway said. “And the belief was that murder, as well as other certain crimes of violence, were not infamous because there was a belief that a violent act might be kind of pure, that it didn’t evidence planning, it didn’t evidence a broader social malice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the Civil War, lawmakers and judges in southern states used the flexibility of the term to exclude African American voters, by lowering the bar for crimes deemed ‘infamous.’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, application of the law varied. Most courts through the early 20th century equated an ‘infamous crime’ with a felony. But the legislature confused matters by specifying the loss of voting rights for embezzlement or \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">misappropriation \u003c/span>of public funds. As a result, interpretation was largely left to county clerks and election officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>A New Focus on the ‘Integrity of the Elective Process’ \u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In the spring of 1966, the California Supreme Court issued a ruling that upended previous practices of felon disenfranchisement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case involved James Otsuka, a Los Angeles resident who lost his right to vote after he was imprisoned for being a conscientious objector to the second World War. He had served his sentence decades earlier, and petitioned the court for the right to vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court not only sided with Otsuka, they also demanded that voting rights only be stripped of Californians convicted of crimes that directly threatened the election process, like voter fraud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The unreasonableness of a classification disfranchising all former felons, regardless of their crime, is readily demonstrable,” wrote Justice Stanley Mosk, in \u003ca href=\"https://scocal.stanford.edu/opinion/otsuka-v-hite-27340#FFN_19\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the majority opinion\u003c/a>. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It raises the spectre of citizens automatically deprived of their right to vote upon conviction, for example, of seduction under promise of marriage…wife-beating…failure to provide family support…conduct which is but little detrimental to society at large and is totally unrelated to the goal of preservation of the integrity of the elective process.” \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Hite \u003c/em>left California with “a distinctly modern interpretation,” of infamous crimes, Holloway said — one judging that only threats to the ballot box should result in a loss of voting rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as critics of the ruling predicted, the new standard of ‘infamous crimes’ was again difficult for local election officials to put into practice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By what standard is the Registrar of Voters to determine whether one convicted of crime is thereby branded as a ‘threat to the integrity of the elective process’?” wondered Justice Louis Burke, in his dissent. “For example, would murder qualify?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scattershot implementation of the ruling meant the decision to exclude Californians convicted of felonies would largely rest with county officials for the next decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Voters End Confusion with Proposition 10\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>A survey of California counties in 1972 found that voting rights for former inmates varied county by county. Some local election officials refused to restore voting rights to any former prisoner, others created a list of crimes resulting in permanent disenfranchisement — and still others considered each former inmates’ case separately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Courts were also divided on the issue: the California Supreme Court ruled in 1973 that permanent voter exclusion following a conviction for an ‘infamous crime’ violated equal protections rights. A year later, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned that decision in \u003cem>Richardson v. Ramirez, \u003c/em>ruling that convicted felons had no constitutional right to vote. The decision justified the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/felon-voting-rights.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">disenfranchisement laws\u003c/a> that now exist in dozens of states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue was finally decided on the ballot. In 1974, the state Legislature put Proposition 10 before voters, which proposed to eliminate the “infamous crime” statue from the state constitution. In its place, it proposed the “disqualification of electors while mentally incompetent or imprisoned or on parole for the conviction of a felony.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure was backed by Democrats, including San Francisco Sen. George Moscone and Los Angeles Assemblyman Julian Dixon. They argued against lifelong disenfranchisement, and sought to end the patchwork of county-level decisions on voting rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The objective of reintegrating ex-felons into society is dramatically impeded by continued restriction of the right to vote,” they wrote in that year’s voter information guide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Los Angeles Times reported at the time that Proposition 10 was among the measures that “failed to cause much controversy during the fall election campaign.” And on Election Day, as California voters sent Jerry Brown to the governor’s office for the first time, Proposition 10 was approved with 56% of the vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That left California’s law on felon disenfranchisement as it exists today: voting rights can only be restored to those convicted of a felony upon completion of their parole term — a period of supervision following an inmates’ release from prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats and groups like the League of Women Voters had succeeded in ending the uncertainty of the ‘infamous crime’ statute and moved the state away from lifetime disfranchisement of former inmates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as with so many California ballot measures, Proposition 10 carried an underlying consequence: by aligning disenfranchisement with any felony (instead of specific crimes that threatened the “\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">integrity of the elective process”\u003c/span>) it married suffrage to an expanding criminal justice system that disproportionately impacted Black and Latino Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>A Modern ‘Poll Tax’? \u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Over the ensuing decades, the number of Californians on parole for a felony skyrocketed. A \u003ca href=\"https://www.law.berkeley.edu/files/bccj/CA_in_Context_Policy_Brief_Sept_2012_Final.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">report from the UC Berkeley School of Law\u003c/a> found an incredible 708% increase in the state’s parole population between 1980 and 2010 — among the largest jumps in the nation over that period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jose Gonzalez is among the Californians whose parole term is set for life. He spent nearly two decades in state prison for his involvement in a murder as a teenager.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By the time I was 17, I was already sentenced and sitting in a state maximum security adult facility,” Gonzalez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After his release, Gonzalez got a degree and is now working and raising his son, but his lifetime parole term prevents him from voting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a taxpayer, as a regular person, you want to have a say,” Gonzalez said. “And if you feel like you don’t, then at the worst you’re not invested in your community. You don’t have that attachment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Black and Latino Californians are disproportionately represented among parolees, \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/publication/californias-changing-parole-population/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according to a study from the Public Policy Institute of California\u003c/a>. By the end of 2016, Black Californians accounted for 6% of the state’s adult population, but 26% of the state’s parole population. And Latinos made up 35% of the adult population, but 40% of those on parole.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblyman Kevin McCarty (D-Sacramento), the author of Proposition 17 on this year’s ballot, said the racial makeup of the state’s parole population makes the current punishment of disenfranchisement “really kind of like poll taxes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003c/b>\u003cem>“\u003c/em>If you look at the percentage of people who are on parole and can’t vote, they are people of color,” McCarty said. “California, for all our progressiveness, we’re really behind the curve on this\u003ci>.” \u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Progressives seeking to expand voting rights for formerly incarcerated Californians have chosen not to go as far as the arguments of the 1960s and 1970s, when jurists questioned the very premise of stripping voting rights for crimes that have no relation to the electoral process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, they have slowly chipped away at a declining population of disqualified voters. Recent criminal justice reforms have nearly cut the state’s parole population in half over the last decade. And a 2016 law restored the right to vote for those convicted of a felony who are serving time in county jail or in county post-release supervision programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 17, placed on the ballot by the state legislature this summer, is the latest move to regain the vote for those formerly incarcerated.

Families also have the choice to keep their students in full-time remote learning programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of Poway’s 26 elementary schools will be open for a hybrid learning option Oct. 12.

Jerry Brown\u003c/a> in 2018 — a “yes” vote will allow the legislation to take effect and a “no” vote would overturn the law. Under state law, a referendum puts a new law on hold until voters can weigh in — meaning the 2018 law never went into effect. If Proposition 25 passes, California would become the first state in the nation to completely outlaw money bail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 25’s backers say Raphling and other opponents are wrong, and that the measure will actually lead to fewer people being held in jail pretrial, and make the system more fair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Bauters, budget advocacy director for the criminal justice reform group Californians for Safety and Justice, pointed to a study by the Public Policy Institute of California which found that the change would result in more than 142,000 people each year spending less time in jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bauters said the new system that would be set up under Proposition 25 would ensure that people don’t lose their jobs, their homes or custody of their kids while they languish in jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s tons of statistics and data about how people who are held pretrial are more likely to plead guilty to things they didn’t commit,” he said. “People who are released pretrial actually get a more pure form of justice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What Does the Law Do?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The 2018 bill, SB 10, made money bail illegal in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If voters decide to uphold SB 10 by passing Proposition 25, the state would replace bail with a system that generally requires people arrested for misdemeanors to be automatically let go before trial — and for those accused of violent felonies to be kept in jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those accused of lower-level felonies would go before a judge who could keep them in jail or put conditions on their release. Those conditions could include things like mandatory drug treatment, or a weekly probation check-in.

Williams was paid minimum wage for that care through California’s In-Home Supportive Services (\u003ca href=\"https://www.cdss.ca.gov/in-home-supportive-services\">IHSS\u003c/a>) Program, which compensates an estimated 120,000 people statewide for providing in-home care to their elderly or disabled parents, spouses or children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams was in her mid-40s when Caleb passed away. The loss was a deep and heavy weight, but what came after kept her fighting to ensure no other mother or caregiver would undergo the same experience: she lost not only her son, but her employment as well — and California doesn’t allow in-home family caregivers to collect unemployment benefits when the child, spouse or parent they’re caring for dies. Non-family caregivers in the IHSS program get state unemployment insurance in these situations — caregivers in the same family do not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Cathyleen Williams\"]‘I just feel like the governor turned his back… Who is going to take care of these mamas now?

The provider population currently ineligible is approximately 22% of the state’s total IHSS provider population, according to the bill \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billAnalysisClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB1993\">analysis\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov.

Williams was paid minimum wage for that care through California’s In-Home Supportive Services (\u003ca href=\"https://www.cdss.ca.gov/in-home-supportive-services\">IHSS\u003c/a>) Program, which compensates an estimated 120,000 people statewide for providing in-home care to their elderly or disabled parents, spouses or children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams was in her mid-40s when Caleb passed away. The loss was a deep and heavy weight, but what came after kept her fighting to ensure no other mother or caregiver would undergo the same experience: she lost not only her son, but her employment as well — and California doesn’t allow in-home family caregivers to collect unemployment benefits when the child, spouse or parent they’re caring for dies. Non-family caregivers in the IHSS program get state unemployment insurance in these situations — caregivers in the same family do not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

So we really pounded a couple different areas hard with aircraft,” Cal Fire spokesman Scott McLean said. “If the weather does what is predicted, we’re on that glide path I hope. But that doesn’t diminish the amount of work that still needs to be done.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CALFIRECZU/status/1313151205397262345\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire, which ignited Sept. 27 in the hills above the Napa Valley and spread rapidly westward toward Santa Rosa, has already charred more than 65,500 acres in Sonoma and Napa counties, destroying at least 1,200 structures, including nearly 500 single-family residences in both counties. Almost 22,000 structures are still under threat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Glass Fire is the fourth major blaze in the region in three years — burning between the scars of previous blazes — and comes just ahead of the third anniversary of the 2017 Tubbs Fire which killed 22 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11833686,news_11834132,news_11840375\" label=\"Wildfire Resources\"]More than 2,700 firefighters continued to work in revolving 24-hour shifts on the Glass Fire, one of the state’s top firefighting priorities among the 23 major blazes currently burning across California. Fire officials on Monday offered a fairly optimistic outlook, reporting no major movement of the fire for several days near the communities of St. Helena and Calistoga on the eastern side of the Napa Valley, as well as to the east, near the hillside community of Angwin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everything’s looking really good. we’ve had no movement of the fire in there,” said Cal Fire Battalion Chief Sean Norman at a Monday morning briefing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Control lines in Sonoma County’s Sugarloaf Ridge State Park had also held through the weekend, Norman said, blocking flames from reaching the adjacent community of Kenwood. And further west, on the Highway 12 corridor into the community of Oakmont on the outskirts of Santa Rosa, the fire hadn’t advanced in over four days, he added. All operations in that area are now centered around “mopping up” hot spots, with most evacuation orders reduced to warnings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re feeling good about our lines,” Norman said. “We don’t consider the fire contained or controlled — it’ll be weeks before we get to that benchmark. But that doesn’t mean we feel an imminent threat to any specific community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Sunday, officials reduced evacuation orders to warnings for both the Oakmont and Kenwood communities, as well as those living along the Porter Creek Road corridor and the Mark West Springs drainage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://sonomacounty.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=69a0e54e9e2b48c086d122027b21c961\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Welcome back all the residents of Oakmont.

He added, however, that above-average temperatures and very low humidity would likely linger until Wednesday, when slowing northeast winds would allow a marine layer to form, bringing moisture and noticeably cooler temperatures — at least until next week, when dry hazardous conditions could return.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That will really work in our favor,” Bird said. “Going forward, we are trending in a better direction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The positive outlook came as California reached a grim milestone — wildfires have now burned over 4 million acres this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal Fire said the state hit that mark Sunday with about two months still remaining in the fire season.

And further west, on the Highway 12 corridor into the community of Oakmont on the outskirts of Santa Rosa, the fire hadn’t advanced in over four days, he added. All operations in that area are now centered around “mopping up” hot spots, with most evacuation orders reduced to warnings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re feeling good about our lines,” Norman said. “We don’t consider the fire contained or controlled — it’ll be weeks before we get to that benchmark.

Amidst the marches and emotion of an ongoing national reckoning over systemic racial injustice in the United States, California lawmakers saw an opportunity to harness public opinion in hopes of overturning the state’s ban on affirmative action in public education, hiring and contracting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblywoman Shirley Weber, D-San Diego, who chairs the Legislative Black Caucus, jumped at the chance. This past legislative session she introduced Proposition 16, a constitutional amendment to overturn Proposition 209, the 1996 ballot measure that banned affirmative action in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California’s regressive ban on equal opportunity programs, such as affirmative action, denies women and people of color a level playing field in the workplace and in education,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Affirmative action programs are designed to promote opportunities for certain under-represented groups which may have faced discrimination in the past. The ban passed by California voters prohibited the state from considering race, sex and ethnicity in public college admissions, hiring and contracting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Janelle Scott, UC Berkeley Graduate School of Education\"]‘It’s a hard campaign to convince people that maybe some of our systems … are actually leaving people out through no fault of their own.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_209,_Affirmative_Action_Initiative_(1996)\">Proposition 209\u003c/a> was one of several conservative measures backed by then-Gov. Pete Wilson in the 1990s. Those included \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/10346251/political-effects-linger-20-years-after-prop-187-targeted-illegal-immigration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Proposition 187\u003c/a>, which sought to ban undocumented immigrants from accessing state services. That measure passed, but was later found to be unconstitutional. A third measure, Proposition 227, effectively banned bilingual education in the state. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/proposition-58\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Voters overturned that ban\u003c/a> in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state Legislature easily approved placing Weber’s amendment ending the affirmative action ban on the November ballot.

Amidst the marches and emotion of an ongoing national reckoning over systemic racial injustice in the United States, California lawmakers saw an opportunity to harness public opinion in hopes of overturning the state’s ban on affirmative action in public education, hiring and contracting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblywoman Shirley Weber, D-San Diego, who chairs the Legislative Black Caucus, jumped at the chance. This past legislative session she introduced Proposition 16, a constitutional amendment to overturn Proposition 209, the 1996 ballot measure that banned affirmative action in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California’s regressive ban on equal opportunity programs, such as affirmative action, denies women and people of color a level playing field in the workplace and in education,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Affirmative action programs are designed to promote opportunities for certain under-represented groups which may have faced discrimination in the past.

About 17,000 firefighters are still battling nearly two dozen major blazes throughout the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the frightening totals, zeroing in on Glass Fire, some progress had been made over the weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Glass Fire is 26% contained as of Sunday evening, according to Cal Fire, with 64,900 acres burning so far and roughly 235 structures destroyed in Sonoma alone. About 36,000 people remain evacuated, Cal Fire said, meaning some tens of thousands have been able to return home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sean Norman, a Cal Fire section chief, sounded an optimistic tone in a briefing Sunday evening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re feeling good about our lines,” he said. “We don’t consider the fire contained or controlled, it’ll be weeks before we get to that benchmark.
