"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

(\u003ca href=\"http://parksforward.com/funder-statement\">Click here for more details\u003c/a> on who’s funding the project.)

I’m sure all of the other parks have a lot of things going for them. I haven’t been to all of them, so I can’t say that this park is worthy of staying open more than every other park that there is, but this is my park.”\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/news/openspaces/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-111261\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-111261\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/05/hdpublicplaces-mod.jpg\" alt=\"hdpublicplaces-mod\" width=\"200\" height=\"46\">\u003c/a>Friends of Palomar has raised $190,000 in the last two years from more than 300 people, most of them from San Diego and Riverside Counties.

Recently, they organized and funded the replacement of about a dozen bathroom doors at two campgrounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_97369\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 150px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/05/16/97365/bathroom-doors/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-97369\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-97369 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/05/Bathroom-Doors-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"It doesn't look like much, but these new bathroom doors will do a lot to draw back visitors to Palomar's campgrounds.

(Credit KQED/Rachael Myrow)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“This is how bad things have gotten,” Barclay muses. “We are celebrating bathroom doors being replaced the same way that we would if we were opening up a new trail.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, Friends of Palomar set up a “donor agreement” with the parks department. The nonprofit donates $38,000 a year to the agency to cover Palomar’s operating deficit, along with a wish list of things to spend the rest of money they’ve raised on. Yes, there’s a list. The Friends would like to see cabins installed at the campgrounds, the Boucher Hill fire tower restored, and Doane Pond cleared of the cattail trying to transform it from a watering hole with fish into a meadow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’d love to have State Parks fix that problem,” Barclay says. “We’d love to give them money to fix that problem. Our hope is the kind of improvements that we want to make will help to generate revenue as well. Then maybe, one day, the park can actually be self-sufficient. It can pay for itself.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some folks have suggested some nonprofits might \u003cem>fully\u003c/em> adopt the parks the state can’t afford to run. But the math doesn’t add up in most of the more than 50 cases where a nonprofit is helping or fixing to help a state park stay open. Take Palomar. It costs the state roughly $220,000 every year—and that’s only counting direct expenses, not costs like regional management—or hundreds of thousands of dollars of deferred maintenance. Just the same, it has occurred to Barclay that Sacramento might continue to lean on Friends of Palomar for that extra $38,000 a year indefinitely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Is this a state park or is not?” Barclay asks. “If it’s a state park, then the state should support it. Do whatever it takes to keep it robust. Not limping along the way it has been over these several years. It’s been a long time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_97371\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/05/16/97365/view-from-fire-tower/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-97371\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-97371 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/05/View-from-Fire-Tower-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"Boucher Hill Fire Lookout offers a fabulous view of Aguanga Valley—as well as damage from the Poomacha Fire.(Credit KQED/Rachael Myrow)\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Boucher Hill Fire Lookout offers a fabulous view of Pauma Valley—as well as damage from the Poomacha Fire of 2007. (Credit KQED/Rachael Myrow)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, Friends of Palomar—and the state—are going to continue to rely on generous local donors like Bob Wilson of Rancho Santa Fe. He grew up in Escondido, looking up at that mountain every day, going up there with his parents to visit the famous \u003ca href=\"http://www.astro.caltech.edu/palomar/\">Palomar Observatory\u003c/a>, see snow in the wintertime, and in warmer weather, camp a mile high in the sky. Even if he did get the worst case of poison oak he ever suffered from Palomar Mountain. Fond memories like that one inspired Wilson to give Friends $30,000—its biggest donation—to help seed the group’s fundraising.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I hope that people will step up,” Wilson says. “Certainly, I’m of a mind to challenge them if they want to do that. I think that they’re out there and we have to make sure that they understand what the conditions are, what they could be, and what they should be doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue is likely to remain a live one for at least another year. Governor Jerry Brown’s latest budget proposal doesn’t include the kind of money it would take for the parks department to re-shoulder the load for Palomar and parks like it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After news broke of as much as $29 million dollars \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/01/04/california-state-parks-investigation-report-released/\">unreported\u003c/a> at State Park headquarters in Sacramento, a number of people who’d pledged money to Palomar pulled back. That money has since been set aside as a pool of matching grants for groups like Friends of Palomar, and the group is applying. That said, it doesn’t hurt local fundraising efforts to point out that every dollar donated to the nonprofit is directed to Palomar park, not some general operating fund in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Barclay and Wilson lament the way California’s infrastructure is fraying. “My concern is that now we’re in maintenance mode,” says Barclay. “We’re just trying to cobble the bridges back together, and cobble the streets back together. Why aren’t we opening more state parks? You know, we’re talking about just staying open. Why aren’t we expanding our territory?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_97488\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 240px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/05/16/97365/dylan/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-97488\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-97488 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/05/Dylan-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Dylan Unis, 4, of San Diego considers the first fish he's ever caught.

(Credit: KQED/Rachael Myrow)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>It’s not just an issue with the Department of Parks and Recreation. The 6th grade school camp (aka \u003ca href=\"http://www.palomarmountain.com/outdoorschool.html\">Palomar Outdoor School\u003c/a>) closed in 2011 because its operator, the San Diego Unified School District, can’t afford it any longer. “Those fond memories are not being generated now,” Barclay says. “That’s a facility that’s going to waste, and it’s an opportunity that’s going to waste as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, Friends of Palomar Mountain State Park is doing what it can to get the word out to Southern California: first, that there’s a state park up on the mountain; and second, public donations help it thrive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Funds for coverage of California state parks are provided by the S.

Twelve miles of trails offer stunning vistas of valleys to the north and south of the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those simple charms won over Rick Barclay of Temecula about 15 years ago. Somehow, he went from casual day hiking, to trail maintenance, to running \u003ca href=\"http://www.friendsofpalomarsp.org\">Friends of Palomar Mountain State Park\u003c/a>, established two years ago, after park system officials put Palomar on a closure list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re like parents,” Barclay says. “You may have a kid, but I love my kid, and this is my kid we’re talking about. I’m sure all of the other parks have a lot of things going for them. I haven’t been to all of them, so I can’t say that this park is worthy of staying open more than every other park that there is, but this is my park.”\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/news/openspaces/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-111261\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-111261\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/05/hdpublicplaces-mod.jpg\" alt=\"hdpublicplaces-mod\" width=\"200\" height=\"46\">\u003c/a>Friends of Palomar has raised $190,000 in the last two years from more than 300 people, most of them from San Diego and Riverside Counties.

The nonprofit donates $38,000 a year to the agency to cover Palomar’s operating deficit, along with a wish list of things to spend the rest of money they’ve raised on. Yes, there’s a list. The Friends would like to see cabins installed at the campgrounds, the Boucher Hill fire tower restored, and Doane Pond cleared of the cattail trying to transform it from a watering hole with fish into a meadow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’d love to have State Parks fix that problem,” Barclay says. “We’d love to give them money to fix that problem. Our hope is the kind of improvements that we want to make will help to generate revenue as well. Then maybe, one day, the park can actually be self-sufficient. It can pay for itself.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some folks have suggested some nonprofits might \u003cem>fully\u003c/em> adopt the parks the state can’t afford to run. But the math doesn’t add up in most of the more than 50 cases where a nonprofit is helping or fixing to help a state park stay open. Take Palomar. It costs the state roughly $220,000 every year—and that’s only counting direct expenses, not costs like regional management—or hundreds of thousands of dollars of deferred maintenance. Just the same, it has occurred to Barclay that Sacramento might continue to lean on Friends of Palomar for that extra $38,000 a year indefinitely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Is this a state park or is not?” Barclay asks. “If it’s a state park, then the state should support it. Do whatever it takes to keep it robust. Not limping along the way it has been over these several years. It’s been a long time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_97371\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/05/16/97365/view-from-fire-tower/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-97371\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-97371 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/05/View-from-Fire-Tower-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"Boucher Hill Fire Lookout offers a fabulous view of Aguanga Valley—as well as damage from the Poomacha Fire.(Credit KQED/Rachael Myrow)\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Boucher Hill Fire Lookout offers a fabulous view of Pauma Valley—as well as damage from the Poomacha Fire of 2007. (Credit KQED/Rachael Myrow)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, Friends of Palomar—and the state—are going to continue to rely on generous local donors like Bob Wilson of Rancho Santa Fe. He grew up in Escondido, looking up at that mountain every day, going up there with his parents to visit the famous \u003ca href=\"http://www.astro.caltech.edu/palomar/\">Palomar Observatory\u003c/a>, see snow in the wintertime, and in warmer weather, camp a mile high in the sky. Even if he did get the worst case of poison oak he ever suffered from Palomar Mountain. Fond memories like that one inspired Wilson to give Friends $30,000—its biggest donation—to help seed the group’s fundraising.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I hope that people will step up,” Wilson says. “Certainly, I’m of a mind to challenge them if they want to do that. I think that they’re out there and we have to make sure that they understand what the conditions are, what they could be, and what they should be doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue is likely to remain a live one for at least another year. Governor Jerry Brown’s latest budget proposal doesn’t include the kind of money it would take for the parks department to re-shoulder the load for Palomar and parks like it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After news broke of as much as $29 million dollars \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/01/04/california-state-parks-investigation-report-released/\">unreported\u003c/a> at State Park headquarters in Sacramento, a number of people who’d pledged money to Palomar pulled back. That money has since been set aside as a pool of matching grants for groups like Friends of Palomar, and the group is applying. That said, it doesn’t hurt local fundraising efforts to point out that every dollar donated to the nonprofit is directed to Palomar park, not some general operating fund in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Barclay and Wilson lament the way California’s infrastructure is fraying. “My concern is that now we’re in maintenance mode,” says Barclay. “We’re just trying to cobble the bridges back together, and cobble the streets back together. Why aren’t we opening more state parks? You know, we’re talking about just staying open. Why aren’t we expanding our territory?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_97488\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 240px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/05/16/97365/dylan/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-97488\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-97488 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/05/Dylan-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Dylan Unis, 4, of San Diego considers the first fish he's ever caught.

The 6th grade school camp (aka \u003ca href=\"http://www.palomarmountain.com/outdoorschool.html\">Palomar Outdoor School\u003c/a>) closed in 2011 because its operator, the San Diego Unified School District, can’t afford it any longer. “Those fond memories are not being generated now,” Barclay says. “That’s a facility that’s going to waste, and it’s an opportunity that’s going to waste as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, Friends of Palomar Mountain State Park is doing what it can to get the word out to Southern California: first, that there’s a state park up on the mountain; and second, public donations help it thrive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Funds for coverage of California state parks are provided by the S.

Moreover, they will lose Assemblyman Bob Blumenfield, D-Sherman Oaks, in July, when he leaves to join the Los Angeles City Council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Steve Maviglio, a spokesman for Assembly Speaker John Perez, D-Los Angeles, downplayed the significance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The speaker has said since Election Day (in November) that it’s not going to make that much difference. He’ll continue to work with Republicans,” Maviglio said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuesday’s election was to fill the seats vacated when Democratic Sens.

Michael Rubio, D-Bakersfield, resigned to take a job with Chevron. The special election in the Central Valley’s 16th Senate District will be May 21, with a special runoff election on July 23 if no candidate wins a majority in the primary election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Democrats also could lose Sen.
