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.",

"content": "\u003cp>Several cities in the Bay Area, including San Pablo, Dixon and Vacaville, are among 25 local governments in California suing the state to block local home delivery of marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Filed late Thursday in Fresno County Superior Court, the suit alleges that a new state rule permitting “commercial cannabis deliveries to any physical address in the state” conflicts with the authority of local governments to prohibit marijuana deliveries within their jurisdictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit, which asks the court to invalidate the rule and block state regulators from enforcing it, marks an important early legal test of Proposition 64, the 2016 voter-approved law that legalized recreational pot sales for adults in California. Under the law, local governments have the authority to ban non-medical pot businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when the state Bureau of Cannabis Control adopted the rule in January, it pointed to the business and professions code, which states that local governments “shall not prevent delivery of cannabis or cannabis products on public roads” by a licensed operator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After California adopted the delivery rule, the League of California Cities and police chiefs complained that unrestricted home deliveries would create an unchecked market of largely hidden pot transactions, while undercutting the local control that Proposition 64 guaranteed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some local law enforcement officials also say it’s not the crime that it could enable, necessarily, but the burden it places on small police forces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we have seen now is this total and complete usurpation of that authority by the state,” said Dixon Police Chief Robert Thompson. “And that completely limits our ability to regulate this, like we do with many other industries.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thompson added, “So, at midnight, when an officer stops a car that’s doing cannabis delivery, how are they going to know that that is, in fact, a legitimate cannabis delivery service and not something that is on the illicit black market.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marijuana companies and consumers had pushed for home deliveries because vast stretches of the state have banned commercial cannabis activity or not set up rules to allow legal sales, creating what have been called pot “deserts.” Residents in those areas were effectively cut off from legal marijuana purchases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters said the problem was worse for the sick and frail, who would not be able to drive long distances to buy the drug.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[This lawsuit] would affect our business terribly,” said Eric Sklar, CEO of Fumé, a cannabis company with delivery services in the North Bay. “It would really cut off access to people, particularly in our area where it’s low density and there are small towns where they’re never going to have dispensaries because they’re just not big enough. Delivery is the only way those folks get their cannabis without driving 35 to 40 minutes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because pot remains illegal on the federal level, it cannot be sent through the U.S. Postal Service. But customers can still get it delivered to their door in California. Under state rules, all cannabis deliveries must be performed by employees of a licensed retailer. Regulators say there are 311 active licenses to deliver pot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bureau of Cannabis Control declined to comment on the lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plaintiffs include Santa Cruz County and the cities of Beverly Hills, Agoura Hills, Angels Camp, Arcadia, Atwater, Ceres, Clovis, Covina, Dixon and Downey, McFarland, Newman, Oakdale, Palmdale, Patterson, Riverbank, Riverside, San Pablo, Sonora, Tehachapi, Temecula, Tracy, Turlock and Vacaville.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Michael R. Blood of the Associated Press contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>Several cities in the Bay Area, including San Pablo, Dixon and Vacaville, are among 25 local governments in California suing the state to block local home delivery of marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Filed late Thursday in Fresno County Superior Court, the suit alleges that a new state rule permitting “commercial cannabis deliveries to any physical address in the state” conflicts with the authority of local governments to prohibit marijuana deliveries within their jurisdictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit, which asks the court to invalidate the rule and block state regulators from enforcing it, marks an important early legal test of Proposition 64, the 2016 voter-approved law that legalized recreational pot sales for adults in California. Under the law, local governments have the authority to ban non-medical pot businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when the state Bureau of Cannabis Control adopted the rule in January, it pointed to the business and professions code, which states that local governments “shall not prevent delivery of cannabis or cannabis products on public roads” by a licensed operator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After California adopted the delivery rule, the League of California Cities and police chiefs complained that unrestricted home deliveries would create an unchecked market of largely hidden pot transactions, while undercutting the local control that Proposition 64 guaranteed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some local law enforcement officials also say it’s not the crime that it could enable, necessarily, but the burden it places on small police forces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we have seen now is this total and complete usurpation of that authority by the state,” said Dixon Police Chief Robert Thompson. “And that completely limits our ability to regulate this, like we do with many other industries.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thompson added, “So, at midnight, when an officer stops a car that’s doing cannabis delivery, how are they going to know that that is, in fact, a legitimate cannabis delivery service and not something that is on the illicit black market.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marijuana companies and consumers had pushed for home deliveries because vast stretches of the state have banned commercial cannabis activity or not set up rules to allow legal sales, creating what have been called pot “deserts.” Residents in those areas were effectively cut off from legal marijuana purchases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters said the problem was worse for the sick and frail, who would not be able to drive long distances to buy the drug.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[This lawsuit] would affect our business terribly,” said Eric Sklar, CEO of Fumé, a cannabis company with delivery services in the North Bay. “It would really cut off access to people, particularly in our area where it’s low density and there are small towns where they’re never going to have dispensaries because they’re just not big enough. Delivery is the only way those folks get their cannabis without driving 35 to 40 minutes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because pot remains illegal on the federal level, it cannot be sent through the U.S. Postal Service. But customers can still get it delivered to their door in California. Under state rules, all cannabis deliveries must be performed by employees of a licensed retailer. Regulators say there are 311 active licenses to deliver pot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bureau of Cannabis Control declined to comment on the lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plaintiffs include Santa Cruz County and the cities of Beverly Hills, Agoura Hills, Angels Camp, Arcadia, Atwater, Ceres, Clovis, Covina, Dixon and Downey, McFarland, Newman, Oakdale, Palmdale, Patterson, Riverbank, Riverside, San Pablo, Sonora, Tehachapi, Temecula, Tracy, Turlock and Vacaville.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Michael R.

They can reach as high as 40 percent in some parts of California. The industry group suggests reforming the cannabis tax structure and offering tax deductions and incentives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And getting a license can be prohibitively expensive for some cannabis businesses.

He said that, so far, state and local governments have mostly failed at implementing legal pot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Less than 10 percent of the businesses have licenses. The market is in recession.

The deal would reopen the federal government for three weeks, giving congressional lawmakers time to negotiate a plan for border security. Pressure had been growing on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Trump, as delays and security concerns mounted at the nation’s airports over growing numbers of TSA workers and air traffic controllers calling in sick. On Thursday, competing bills to end the shutdown died on the Senate floor, while House Democrats were prepared to offer billions of dollars more to boost border security through the use of drones and hiring more personnel at ports of entry. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Aimee Allison, Founder, She the People\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Carla Marinucci, Senior Writer, Politico\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sean Walsh, GOP Consultant, Wilson Walsh Consulting\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Criminal Justice Reforms\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Last year, Jerry Brown signed legislation that would have ended cash bail for criminal defendants.

But the law will now be put on hold pending the outcome of a measure challenging it, which has qualified for the 2020 ballot. This week, Gov.

And while there were $2.5 billion in legal sales of cannabis last year in California, that’s a decrease from 2017, when only medical marijuana sales were allowed. The black market continues to be a problem, along with other challenges for the industry, such as consistency among labs that are required to test the safety and purity of pot products. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">David Downs, California Cannabis Bureau Chief, Leafly.com \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n",

Gavin Newsom unveiled a plan to shift control of the state’s youth prisons in an effort to focus on rehabilitation instead of incarceration for juvenile offenders. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Marisa Lagos, KQED California Politics and Government Reporter\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Daniel Macallair, Executive Director, Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Cannabis Update\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">California recently released its final set of rules for cannabis businesses. One of those rules now allows marijuana deliveries to anyone 21 or older anywhere in the state, including cities and counties that have banned sales of the drug. And while there were $2.5 billion in legal sales of cannabis last year in California, that’s a decrease from 2017, when only medical marijuana sales were allowed. The black market continues to be a problem, along with other challenges for the industry, such as consistency among labs that are required to test the safety and purity of pot products. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum.
