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.",

Funds were dispersed only to Native tribes that are federally recognized, to the exclusion of tribes that have been terminated, disenrolled and disenfranchised. The federal government, Gali notes, still “gets to decide who is and who is not a Native person in California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the lack of a specific apology from the Catholic Church for Serra’s legacy, Gali sees this same inaction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Until that’s done,” she says, “there is still a gaping wound that needs to be healed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"removal\">\u003c/a>How Can You Challenge a Statue or Place Name?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>If there’s a statue or place name in your area that you want to officially challenge, how can you do that as a member of the public?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arianna Antone-Ramirez is a research associate at the California Consortium for Urban Indian Health, and is on the board of the American Indian Cultural Center of San Francisco.

This is a much stronger ruling that the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11809328/newsoms-eviction-moratorium-useless-misleading-tenants-groups-say\">statewide eviction moratorium\u003c/a> set by Gov. Gavin Newsom in March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's what the new rule does:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Prevents a court from issuing a summons\u003c/strong> \u003cstrong>after a landlord files an eviction case: \u003c/strong>Except when necessary to protect health and safety, this means that tenants will not be under the normal five-day response deadline and will instead have time to respond up until the courts' emergency rule is lifted.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Prevents default judgments: \u003c/strong>Normally, if the tenant failed to file a response, the court would issue a default judgment. Often siding with the landlord. This prevents that, except in cases of health and safety. Or if the tenant failed to file a response before the statewide order was lifted.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Extends time for trials\u003c/strong>: If an eviction case is already in process, and the tenant has already responded or appeared, judges must set the hearing for a time that is 60 days after the date requested, unless necessary to set it earlier for health and safety.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>You can read more about the rule, including how it applies to foreclosures, \u003ca href=\"https://wclp.org/summary-california-courts-emergency-rule-on-evictions-and-foreclosures/\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"evictions\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What if I get an eviction notice?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>If for some reason you do receive an eviction notice, \u003cstrong>get in touch with a lawyer or legal aid office as soon as possible\u003c/strong>.

Often siding with the landlord. This prevents that, except in cases of health and safety. Or if the tenant failed to file a response before the statewide order was lifted.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Extends time for trials\u003c/strong>: If an eviction case is already in process, and the tenant has already responded or appeared, judges must set the hearing for a time that is 60 days after the date requested, unless necessary to set it earlier for health and safety.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>You can read more about the rule, including how it applies to foreclosures, \u003ca href=\"https://wclp.org/summary-california-courts-emergency-rule-on-evictions-and-foreclosures/\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

While California has allowed most counties to open everything from restaurants to gyms, Newsom and other officials have warned about the risks of private gatherings, particularly inside. As caseloads and hospitalizations rise, Newsom has stated that a broad shutdown isn’t necessary because of hospital capacity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, local health officials had been sounding the alarm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Cruz County health officer Dr. Gail Newel said the county opened its beaches Friday, sooner than planned, after finding it was impossible for law enforcement to keep crowds away. She said it also made no sense to keep beaches closed to keep out-of-county visitors away when the governor was visiting restaurants and promoting tourism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It made it hard for us to continue to message that tourism was not welcome when tourism is clearly an important part” of the governor’s plan to reopen the economy, Newel said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also said it took too long for the state to come out with a face coverings mandate and the state could do more to bolster public health officers who are bearing the brunt of public anger over closures and mask orders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Canepa, a San Mateo County supervisor, said he wrote to Newsom Tuesday urging him to enforce his mandatory statewide order for people to wear face coverings with fines from community service officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the time where the governor is going to have to make decisions that may be offensive to 40% of the population, but he’s already done it. He’s done it through shelter in place,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/Schwarzenegger/status/1275052731485454337 Newsom dismissed the idea as punitive and likened it to ticketing jaywalkers. Canepa said the governor rightly gave local governments leeway in responding to the pandemic, but he’s now seeking much more decisive messaging as the virus surges, even though it may be politically risky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stephanie Roberson, government relations director for the California Nurses Association, said the union also wanted the state to require masks before Memorial Day, something Newsom didn’t do until three weeks later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But on Friday, Newsom announced he’d asked Imperial County, an agricultural county that borders Mexico, to reimpose a stay-at-home order as officials failed to stop a surge in confirmed cases and hospitalizations. He said other counties might soon decide to roll back on reopening and promised the state would soon launch a new public awareness campaign, though he gave no details.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, San Francisco Mayor London Breed announced the city would halt its reopening of some businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’re seeing a lot of leadership (at the) local level,” Newsom said. “It’s not just one person selling down a vision, it’s all of us that have the responsibility to communicate this message.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor dropped his near-daily virus briefings in May as the coronavirus stabilized and his attention turned to other issues like the state budget and protests against police brutality that gripped the state. [aside tag=\"coronavirus\" label=\"More Related Stories.\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As confirmed cases began to rise earlier this month, officials initially said the numbers may be due to dramatically more testing. When Newsom ordered that people wear face masks last week, the announcement was made via news release. But Newsom resumed his regular news conferences this week as hospitalizations and the rate of positive tests rose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, Newsom announced the state budget included $2.5 billion he could withhold from counties if they didn’t enforce state requirements, including wearing masks. The next day, he talked at length about a new data modeling portal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sherry Bebitch Jeffe, a professor of public policy communication at the University of Southern California, said Newsom’s focus on data shines through in his news conferences, sometimes at the expense of clearer messages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s a policy wonk and maybe he actually believes that the people who are watching him and listening to him want that data more than they want the simpler message, the more powerful message,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Har reported from San Francisco.

It’s been able to pay for the rooms with nearly $100,000 in philanthropic donations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her group is working on finding places to move people as they exit hotel rooms, anything from apartments or rooms to rent, tiny homes or working RVs. But, she says, finding those affordable options has been a real challenge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What is very clear to us is that having people in a stable environment for any amount of time and then releasing them back into the streets is going to cause so much trauma and mental hardship,” de Asis Miralle said. “We’re not going to allow that to happen to our folks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11825657\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11825657\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/AlCo-Hotels_WEB-e1592937750672.jpg\" alt=\"This Comfort Inn in Oakland was one of the first hotels to become part of Project Roomkey.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1576\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">This Comfort Inn in Oakland was one of the first hotels to become part of Project Roomkey. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Alameda County Health Care Services Agency)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For Alan Tolbert, the opportunity to have a room in a San Francisco hotel has been transformative.

The leases will end in August unless extended, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s the initial outlay of purchasing a hotel, and then there is the ongoing costs of actually running programs,” Jenett said. “And a lot of what the future looks like depends on funding.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kerry Abbott, director of Alameda County’s Office of Homeless Care and Coordination, says it’s likely costs will fall when the facilities become permanent and social distancing protocols are lifted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alameda County estimates the cost of providing housing with supportive services to formerly homeless people on an ongoing basis to about $60 per night, per household, compared to $100 during the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s because there are higher transportation, medical and cleaning costs associated with providing housing during a public health emergency, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For hotel guests who have tested positive for COVID-19 or are awaiting test results, Abbott said, transportation is “much more expensive because we can only move one or two people at a time to allow for distancing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11825792\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11825792\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/AlCo-Hotel-PPE.jpg\" alt=\"Alameda County public health staff take part in a training on how to use personal protective equipment while working with guests at the Radisson Hotel in Oakland in late March.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1208\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/AlCo-Hotel-PPE.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/AlCo-Hotel-PPE-800x503.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/AlCo-Hotel-PPE-1020x642.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/AlCo-Hotel-PPE-160x101.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/AlCo-Hotel-PPE-1536x966.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alameda County public health staff take part in a training on how to use personal protective equipment while working with guests at the Radisson Hotel in Oakland in late March. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Alameda County Health Care Services Agency)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But whether Alameda County purchases the actual hotels where guests are staying right now remains to be seen.

The Village has housed about 40 families and individuals in hotel rooms as an alternative to the county and the state-led Project Roomkey. It’s been able to pay for the rooms with nearly $100,000 in philanthropic donations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her group is working on finding places to move people as they exit hotel rooms, anything from apartments or rooms to rent, tiny homes or working RVs. But, she says, finding those affordable options has been a real challenge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What is very clear to us is that having people in a stable environment for any amount of time and then releasing them back into the streets is going to cause so much trauma and mental hardship,” de Asis Miralle said. “We’re not going to allow that to happen to our folks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11825657\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11825657\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/AlCo-Hotels_WEB-e1592937750672.jpg\" alt=\"This Comfort Inn in Oakland was one of the first hotels to become part of Project Roomkey.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1576\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">This Comfort Inn in Oakland was one of the first hotels to become part of Project Roomkey. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Alameda County Health Care Services Agency)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For Alan Tolbert, the opportunity to have a room in a San Francisco hotel has been transformative.

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Updated at 8:34 a.m. PST\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A narrowly divided U.S. Supreme Court extended a life-support line to some 650,000 so-called DREAMers on Thursday, allowing them to remain safe from deportation for now, while the Trump administration jumps through the administrative hoops that the court said are required before ending the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vote was 5-4 with Chief Justice John Roberts casting the decisive fifth vote that sought to bridge the liberal and conservative wings of the court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roberts and the court's four liberal justices said the Department of Homeland Security's decision to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, was arbitrary and capricious under the Administrative Procedure Act. (\u003ca href=\"https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=6951500-DACA-Decision\">Read the decision here\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his opinion, Roberts wrote: \"The appropriate recourse is therefore to remand to DHS so that it may reconsider the problem anew.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1273633632742191106\">dismissed the ruling\u003c/a> as \"politically charged,\" turning it into a rallying cry for the 2020 election and the opportunity to appoint more conservative justices. The DACA decision follows another major ruling earlier in the week that \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/863498848\">granted employment protections\u003c/a> for LGBTQ people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1273633632742191106?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Begun in 2012, the DACA program gave temporary protection from deportation to qualified individuals brought to the U.S. illegally as children. Under the program, the DREAMers were allowed to work legally and apply for college loans if they met certain requirements and passed a background check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/09/05/546423550/trump-signals-end-to-daca-calls-on-congress-to-act\">sought to end the program\u003c/a> shortly after he took office, maintaining that it was illegal and unconstitutional from the start.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he was blocked by the lower courts and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/06/28/733774906/supreme-court-takes-up-daca-appeal\">appealed to the Supreme Court\u003c/a>, where Thursday the justices divided over both substance and timing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The muddled state of play likely prevents the administration from enacting any plans to begin deportations immediately, but there is little doubt that should Trump be reelected, the second-term president almost certainly would seek to end the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justice Clarence Thomas, in his dissent, wrote: \"Today's decision must be recognized for what it is: an effort to avoid a politically controversial but legally correct decision.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court's decision presents a particularly delicate political problem for congressional Republicans just months before the national election in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DACA has been an enormously popular program, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/02/06/583402634/npr-poll-2-in-3-support-legal-status-for-dreamers-majority-oppose-building-a-wal\">with public opinion polls\u003c/a> showing widespread support for it among Democrats, independents and Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DACA recipients have gotten advanced degrees; they have started businesses; they have bought houses and had children who are U.S. citizens; and 90% have jobs. Indeed,\u003ca href=\"https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/immigration/news/2020/04/06/482708/demographic-profile-daca-recipients-frontlines-coronavirus-response/\"> 29,000 are health care professionals\u003c/a>, working on the front lines of the COVID-19 response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So popular has the DACA program been that the Senate Republican leadership not once, but twice, worked closely with Democrats to work out a deal to protect the Dreamers, only to have Trump renege at the last moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>California Leaders Applaud Ruling\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>“Today’s decision is an important victory, for now, for the hundreds of thousands of Dreamers – including over 200,000 Californians – who contribute deeply to their communities each day,\" said Gov. Gavin Newsom in a statement following the ruling. \"They are our neighbors, our coworkers and our friends, and in California, we will continue to have their backs.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We need a permanent solution for undocumented Californians and acknowledge that a pathway to citizenship is not enough. This moment reminds us we are confronting the systemic injustice and racism that exists within our nation and institutions,\" Newsom added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='DACA Coverage' tag='daca']Attorney General Xavier Becerra also applauded Thursday's decision. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Today, justice prevailed for every Dreamer who has worked hard to help build our country — our neighbors, teachers, doctors, and first responders,\" Becerra said in a statement. \"Today, America told the Dreamers that this is their home.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>University of California President Janet Napolitano, who helped create DACA when she served as Secretary of Homeland Security under President Obama, called the ruling a victory for \"hundreds of thousands of young people who are making vital contributions to their families, schools, employers, and the nation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Justice and the rule of law won the day,” Napolitano said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What Trump will do before the November election is anyone's guess. The heart of his political base is opposed to immigration in just about every form. But this is no ordinary time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amid pandemic and racial crisis, the court's ruling is likely to focus on yet another issue where the president is at odds with public sentiment, while at the same time putting Republican officeholders between the rock of their president's views and the hard place of their own reelection bids. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story includes reporting from KQED's Julie Small.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[documentcloud url=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6951589-SCOTUS-DACA-18-587-5ifl.html\" responsive=true]\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2020 NPR.

"content": "\u003cp>Among the tens of thousands of Black Lives Matter protesters who continue to pour into the streets of cities across the country — and the world — decrying America's long history of violent, racially unjust policing, one rallying cry has gained particular traction: 'Defund the police.'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what that actually means varies widely depending on who you ask, from dismantling or flat-out abolishing existing police forces to slashing their hefty budgets and diverting those funds to social service programs, which proponents say would much better serve and protect many communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Broadly speaking, 'defunding the police' entails minimizing the outsize role law enforcement has come to assume in most U.S. cities as the default responder for all matters of complaints, and delegating many of those responsibilities to unarmed social workers and other behavioral health specialists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we talk about defunding the police, what we’re saying is, ‘Invest in the resources that our communities need,'” Black Lives Matter co-founder \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/5NrRIIeNFfo\" target=\"_top\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alicia Garza said recently on NBC’s “Meet the Press.\"\u003c/a> So much police response, she added, “is directed toward quality-of-life issues, homelessness, drug addiction, domestic violence and conflict.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As local leaders scramble to institute police reforms — from \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11823629/california-legislative-leaders-back-state-sleeper-hold-ban\">banning chokeholds\u003c/a> to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11824453/state-attorney-general-calls-for-a-way-to-ban-problem-cops-other-police-reforms\">heightening accountability\u003c/a> — many activists argue those tweaks won’t ultimately fix a system they consider fundamentally unjust. Real change, they contend, can only come about through a sweeping process of tearing down police departments and rethinking public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A Pricey Business\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Since the 1970s, when tough-on-crime policies took hold, most U.S. cities have \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/06/12/upshot/cities-grew-safer-police-budgets-kept-growing.html\">funneled an increasingly large share of their budgets\u003c/a> into public safety, often at the expense of social service and anti-poverty programs. And police officers have been tasked with an ever-wider range of responsibilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In most cities, spending on local police typically dwarfs investment in just about any other sector. In Oakland, for instance, \u003ca href=\"https://cao-94612.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/FY-2019-21-Adopted-Budget-Policy-Book-FINAL-WEB-VERSION.pdf\">about 20% of the city's entire budget\u003c/a> (total expenditures, not including education) — more than $318 million — goes to policing. That's nearly double the amount of any other city department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until very recently, any proposal to divest from police departments would have been dismissed by most city leaders as politically untenable. But as public pressure mounts in response to the killing of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police — among many other glaring recent incidents of police brutality — the idea has gained a strong foothold among a small but growing contingent of locally elected leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Case in point: In Minneapolis, the epicenter of the current wave of protests, a veto-proof majority of \u003ca href=\"https://www.mprnews.org/story/2020/06/07/vetoproof-majority-minneapolis-council-members-gives-support-dismantling-police-department\">nine City Council members\u003c/a> recently said they would move to dismantle the city's long-troubled police force, even as the mayor declined to support the effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-06-04/lapd-budget-cuts-garcetti-protests-explainer\">grabbed headlines\u003c/a> this month when he unveiled a proposal to take $150 million from the city's massive police budget of over $1 billion and reinvest it in jobs programs, health initiatives and other services in communities of color. Although some activists say that doesn't go anywhere far enough, it marks a significant turnaround from April, when the mayor proposed a 7% funding \u003cem>increase\u003c/em> for the police. And on Monday – in an meeting once considered unthinkable – the Los Angeles City Council \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-06-15/black-lives-matter-lapd-spending-peoples-budget-los-angeles-city-council\">heard from a coalition of activists\u003c/a> who presented a plan to end the city’s reliance on police officers and adopt new community safety strategies.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Lessons From a City That Disbanded the Police\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Disbanding a police department and starting from scratch is not without precedent in the U.S. The city of Camden, New Jersey did it in 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following years of unabated violent crime, the city council \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/06/12/camden-policing-reforms-313750\">literally shut down the police department\u003c/a> — one that had long been considered inept and corrupt — and created an entirely new non-unionized department under county control. All officers were laid off and had to reapply for their jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, the city's homicide rate has plummeted, as have once-plentiful excessive force complaints, while community-police relations seem to have significantly improved. The overhaul wasn’t a panacea by any stretch — problems with police accountability and racial disparities still exist in the city — but the experiment is \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/06/12/camden-policing-reforms-313750\">generally considered a success\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, however, many liberal leaders wary of appearing soft on crime or of incurring the wrath of powerful police unions are walking a fine line on an inherently thorny issue, acknowledging the need for reforms while clearly remaining reluctant to support sweeping overhauls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"police-violence\"]At a recent forum in Oakland on policing and racism, Gov. Gavin Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/06/09/gov-newsom-holds-meeting-on-racism-and-system-injustices-in-oakland-visits-miss-ollies/\">tiptoed around the issue\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re calling for eliminating police, no,” he said. “If you’re talking about reimagining and taking the opportunity to look at the responsibility and role that we place on law enforcement to be social workers, mental health workers, get involved in disputes where a badge and a gun are unnecessary, then I think absolutely this is an opportunity to look at all of the above.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Bay Area, city leaders are beginning to propose policing reforms of various size and scope. None, though, has yet acceded to protesters' demands to completely dismantle or defund entire departments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here is the latest on what top local officials have so far proposed in the region's three largest cities, each of which has had its own troubling history of policing in Black and brown communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>San Francisco\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>SFPD budget (2019-20): \u003ca href=\"https://sfmayor.org/sites/default/files/CSF_Budget_Book_June_2019_Final_Web_REV2.pdf\">$695.7 million\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nSworn officers: 2,260\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Update: On July 31, San Francisco Mayor London Breed \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11831527/sf-mayor-breeds-new-budget-would-redirect-120-million-from-police-to-citys-black-community\">unveiled a proposed budget\u003c/a> that includes pulling $120 million dollars from law enforcement agencies and putting it into programs that support the city’s largely underserved Black community. The previous month, Breed also directed the police department to no longer\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11824152/san-francisco-police-wont-respond-to-non-criminal-calls\"> respond to noncriminal complaints\u003c/a>, revise its accountability and anti-bias practices and stop using military-grade equipment.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite pressure from activists on the street, Breed made clear she has no intention of dismantling the city's police department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"San Francisco Mayor London Breed\"]'Completely dismantle? It is not something at this time that I think will serve the public.'[/pullquote]“I think it's understandable that people are feeling that way, but the fact is you have people who kill people, you have people who rob people and commit really horrible acts. And in those particular cases, there is a very strong need for law enforcement,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11823865/london-breed-on-racism-i-have-lived-this-my-whole-life\">Breed recently told KQED's Scott Shafer\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think it's important that our policies are adjusted and that we work to make our department better. And that definitely takes time. But to completely dismantle? It is not something at this time that I think will serve the public.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, however, Breed — who as mayor has consistently supported increasing SFPD's budget — proposed a set of major reforms that could transform San Francisco's on-the-ground policing operations. Most notably, SFPD \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11824152/san-francisco-police-wont-respond-to-non-criminal-calls\">will no longer respond to noncriminal complaints\u003c/a>, such as neighbor disputes, behavioral health crises and school discipline interventions.

And police officers have been tasked with an ever-wider range of responsibilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In most cities, spending on local police typically dwarfs investment in just about any other sector. In Oakland, for instance, \u003ca href=\"https://cao-94612.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/FY-2019-21-Adopted-Budget-Policy-Book-FINAL-WEB-VERSION.pdf\">about 20% of the city's entire budget\u003c/a> (total expenditures, not including education) — more than $318 million — goes to policing. That's nearly double the amount of any other city department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until very recently, any proposal to divest from police departments would have been dismissed by most city leaders as politically untenable. But as public pressure mounts in response to the killing of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police — among many other glaring recent incidents of police brutality — the idea has gained a strong foothold among a small but growing contingent of locally elected leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Case in point: In Minneapolis, the epicenter of the current wave of protests, a veto-proof majority of \u003ca href=\"https://www.mprnews.org/story/2020/06/07/vetoproof-majority-minneapolis-council-members-gives-support-dismantling-police-department\">nine City Council members\u003c/a> recently said they would move to dismantle the city's long-troubled police force, even as the mayor declined to support the effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-06-04/lapd-budget-cuts-garcetti-protests-explainer\">grabbed headlines\u003c/a> this month when he unveiled a proposal to take $150 million from the city's massive police budget of over $1 billion and reinvest it in jobs programs, health initiatives and other services in communities of color. Although some activists say that doesn't go anywhere far enough, it marks a significant turnaround from April, when the mayor proposed a 7% funding \u003cem>increase\u003c/em> for the police. And on Monday – in an meeting once considered unthinkable – the Los Angeles City Council \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-06-15/black-lives-matter-lapd-spending-peoples-budget-los-angeles-city-council\">heard from a coalition of activists\u003c/a> who presented a plan to end the city’s reliance on police officers and adopt new community safety strategies.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Lessons From a City That Disbanded the Police\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Disbanding a police department and starting from scratch is not without precedent in the U.S. The city of Camden, New Jersey did it in 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following years of unabated violent crime, the city council \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/06/12/camden-policing-reforms-313750\">literally shut down the police department\u003c/a> — one that had long been considered inept and corrupt — and created an entirely new non-unionized department under county control. All officers were laid off and had to reapply for their jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, the city's homicide rate has plummeted, as have once-plentiful excessive force complaints, while community-police relations seem to have significantly improved. The overhaul wasn’t a panacea by any stretch — problems with police accountability and racial disparities still exist in the city — but the experiment is \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/06/12/camden-policing-reforms-313750\">generally considered a success\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, however, many liberal leaders wary of appearing soft on crime or of incurring the wrath of powerful police unions are walking a fine line on an inherently thorny issue, acknowledging the need for reforms while clearly remaining reluctant to support sweeping overhauls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The bankruptcy deals include $13.5 billion earmarked for wildfire victims. A federal judge is expected to issue a final decision on PG&E’s plan by June 30.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>PG&E Put Profits Over Safety, Grand Jury Report Says\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Butte County's district attorney also released a summary of a scathing grand jury report Tuesday, finding that PG&E officials repeatedly ignored warnings about its failing power lines, performed inadequate inspections to focus on profits and refused to learn from past catastrophes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We show that [PG&E] was absolutely criminally responsible for the death and destruction visited upon our friends, family and neighbors here in Butte County,\" District Attorney Mike Ramsey said. \"We uncovered a corporate culture that started sometime back, but specifically in the mid '90s, to squeeze every dime they could with creative risk management mumbo jumbo, and to find creative financing to get as much profit as they could. They basically put profit above safety.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E exhibited “a callous disregard” for the life and property of residents before its equipment ignited the Camp Fire, the 92-page summary said. “Through a corporate culture of elevating profits over safety by taking shortcuts in the safe delivery of an extremely dangerous product – high-voltage electricity – PG&E certainly lead otherwise good people down an ultimately destructive path.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report paints a damning picture of PG&E as an entity that regularly shirked accountability and was shameless in its unwillingness to learn from past failures. The San Francisco-based utility was convicted in 2016 of multiple federal felonies after one of its gas transmission lines exploded in San Bruno in 2010, killing eight people. That tragedy resulted in a criminal conviction that put PG&E on a five-year probation that ends in January 2022.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investigators determined the cause of the Camp Fire was a suspension “C” hook on a transmission tower that had worn through after decades hanging in the Feather River Canyon. The report notes PG&E would have known had it bothered to inventory the hook, maintain thorough inspections with qualified inspectors or even listened to its own employees. But its line inspections were designed not to detect flaws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11759835\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11759835\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/PGE-Transmission-Line-Camp-Fire-1-1020x679.jpg\" alt=\"PG&E transmission line towers on the Caribou-Palermo line are seen adjacent to the Feather River in Butte County, near the spot where the Camp Fire began.

Gavin Newsom always said that his approach to reopening California during the COVID-19 pandemic would be \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11812296/newsoms-roadmap-to-guide-california-out-of-isolation\">more of a \"dimmer switch\"\u003c/a> than an on/off button —\u003cem> \u003c/em>and now we're seeing how drastically that switch can move down as well as up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations continue to surge across much of California, on July 13 Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://covid19.ca.gov/roadmap-counties/\">ordered every county in the state\u003c/a> to \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/CAPublicHealth/status/1283068880747978753\">immediately shutter\u003c/a> all bars and shut down indoor service in restaurants, wineries, zoos, museums, cardrooms, movie theaters and family entertainment centers (like bowling alleys and batting cages). Additionally, he ordered 30 counties — comprising about 80% of the state's population — to close indoor operations at fitness centers, places of worship, non-essential business offices, personal care services, malls, hair salons and barbershops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CAPublicHealth/status/1283068880747978753\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom \u003cem>has\u003c/em> targeted the indoor operations of businesses like bars and restaurants — but not on this statewide scale. Just days before the July holiday, he announced the\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11827083/newsoms-california-closures-ahead-of-july-4th-what-you-need-to-know\"> three-week closure of many commercial indoor activities\u003c/a> in 19 counties, to address the increase in confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state's COVID-19 \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/COVID19CountyDataTable.aspx\">watch list \u003c/a>now includes San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa, Solano, Marin, Sonoma, Santa Clara and Napa in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Closures Come One Month After \"Reopening\"\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Newsom's last major statewide order, back on June 12, was about \u003cem>reopening\u003c/em> not closing. While much of the Bay Area chose to hold back, many counties across California were able to \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/OPA/Pages/NR20-113.aspx#\">reopen public businesses\u003c/a> including movie theaters, gyms and bars, after getting a green light from the state's Department of Public Health. Many of these were the same businesses that are now being ordered to close back up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That June loosening of COVID-19-related restrictions represented California’s shift into \u003ca href=\"https://covid19.ca.gov/roadmap/#top\">Stage 3\u003c/a> of its reopening plans.

The majority of California’s counties — including Napa, Solano and Sonoma — were quickly approved by the state to move into this next phase, pending clearance from local public health officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the Bay Area's six other counties — San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Mateo and Santa Clara — initially opted for a slower, more cautious reopening timeline, they all then also chose to apply for this \"variance attestation\" to follow the state's timeline, with Alameda as \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/east-bay/oakland-zoo-may-reopen-soon-after-county-votes-to-support-covid-19-variance/2326079/\">the last to apply\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As COVID-19 cases began to rise again locally, San Francisco's surge toward and then \u003cem>away\u003c/em> from reopening was perhaps one of the most dramatic in the Bay Area.
