The recall against the trio, driven by parents angry with the board's handling of pandemic schooling, is likely to make it to the ballot after its supporters submitted hundreds of thousands of signatures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos and Haney said they only support the removal of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11867599/censured-sf-school-board-member-alison-collins-sues-district-colleagues-for-constitutional-rights-violations\">Collins, who came under fire for inflammatory tweets \u003c/a>about Asian Americans and subsequently sued the district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The campaign to recall Boudin faces an October deadline to submit signatures. Campos and Haney oppose the recall attempt and argue that Boudin has done nothing to warrant a removal prior to the end of his term. Mahmood said he remains undecided on the DA recall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, a more moderate candidate like Mahmood, who lacks name identification in the city, could struggle to gain traction in the district, said progressive political consultant Jim Stearns, who has run campaigns for Campos in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The bulk of the votes in this race will be coming from the more progressive districts: the Haight, the Castro, Noe Valley, the Mission, Bernal Heights, Potrero Hill,\" said Stearns. \"My guess is that the more progressive the candidate is, the stronger they’re going to be in this particular race.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district, which includes Chinatown, has one of the largest Asian populations of any Assembly district. Chiu, whose parents came to the U.S. from Taiwan, was the first Asian American to hold the seat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's going to be really key for the candidates to get out there and to reach out to the AAPI community,\" said David Lee, executive director of Chinese American Voters Education Committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district's AAPI residents, said Lee, \"have been suffering during the pandemic, facing anti-AAPI hate ... to economic downturn, to uncertainty in the tourism industry, and have been really hurt by the lack of economic recovery in Chinatown.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Already, Lee said he has seen Assembly hopefuls making appearances at Chinatown community events, hoping to make inroads with a key voting constituency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There is no mistake, campaign season is already upon us,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The winner in the city's ranked-choice election system was Ed Lee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seen as relatively moderate by San Francisco's liberal standards, Chiu narrowly defeated the more progressive city Supervisor David Campos to win his Assembly seat in 2014.

Those federal and state investigations led to the resignation of former SFPUC General Manager Harlan Kelly — whose job Herrera will now have — and are still ongoing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chiu pledged to follow through and hold public servants \"to the highest ethical standards.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think it's important for us to root out corruption in city government wherever it exists, because it tarnishes everyone's faith in government,\" Chiu said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under Herrera and his predecessor, Louise Renne, the city attorney's office has gained national recognition as one of the prominent law offices in the country through its involvement in issues ranging from marriage equality to the health implications of tobacco, tax policy and San Francisco's sanctuary city status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ever since Breed selected Herrera as the new PUC general manager, Chiu's name has been floated almost exclusively as a likely replacement. The city attorney is an elected position, and Chiu will face the voters in 2022.

He was the first Asian American to serve as the board's leader and later was reelected to a second term as board president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the state Assembly, Chiu has championed legislation promoting affordable housing, tenant protections, civil rights and public safety, among other things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After graduating law school, Chiu worked on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., and also served short stints as a prosecutor in the San Francisco District Attorney's Office and an attorney with the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chiu is a veteran of San Francisco's infamous rough-and-tumble politics, which he once described as being \"like a knife fight in a phone booth.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2011, Chiu ran for mayor of San Francisco, where he finished fourth in a crowded field. The winner in the city's ranked-choice election system was Ed Lee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seen as relatively moderate by San Francisco's liberal standards, Chiu narrowly defeated the more progressive city Supervisor David Campos to win his Assembly seat in 2014. He has been easily reelected every two years since.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos, who currently serves as chief of staff to San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin, has already announced a run to replace Chiu in the Assembly, and others, including District 6 Supervisor Matt Haney, are expected to jump into that race as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11890280\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11890280 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/chiu-harris-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Kamala Harris, in a suit jacket and scarf, looks on as David Chiu, in a suit jacket and no tie, speaks in casual conversation indoors.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">San Francisco Assemblymember David Chiu with then-Sen.

Those federal and state investigations led to the resignation of former SFPUC General Manager Harlan Kelly — whose job Herrera will now have — and are still ongoing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chiu pledged to follow through and hold public servants \"to the highest ethical standards.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think it's important for us to root out corruption in city government wherever it exists, because it tarnishes everyone's faith in government,\" Chiu said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under Herrera and his predecessor, Louise Renne, the city attorney's office has gained national recognition as one of the prominent law offices in the country through its involvement in issues ranging from marriage equality to the health implications of tobacco, tax policy and San Francisco's sanctuary city status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ever since Breed selected Herrera as the new PUC general manager, Chiu's name has been floated almost exclusively as a likely replacement. The city attorney is an elected position, and Chiu will face the voters in 2022. In recent decades, the office has had tremendous stability, with Herrera serving nearly 20 years in the job while his predecessor Louise Renne was there for 15.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chui's wife, Candace Chen, is a public interest lawyer who manages a refugee foster care youth program. They have one 5-year-old son, Lucas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chiu's new position will more than double his salary as a state assemblymember, which pays $114,877 per year. According to public documents, the San Francisco city attorney earned $283,099 plus benefits in 2019.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>State Assemblymember David Chiu, D-San Francisco, is calling for a widespread update of California’s information technology systems following \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11866438/after-a-string-of-bungled-tech-upgrades-california-tries-a-new-approach\">several failed or delayed efforts\u003c/a> to modernize them over the past few years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our state’s IT systems have been decentralized, disjointed and dysfunctional, and the experience for everyday Californians of government has been incredibly confusing and stressful,” Chiu said in an interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state of California has more than 130 individual IT shops across its various departments, each managed individually. Some of the state’s largest agencies, including the Department of Motor Vehicles and the Employment Development Department, rely on COBOL, a decades-old computer programming language, for some of their operations. During the pandemic, EDD has had numerous issues with its systems, resulting in delayed unemployment checks and billions paid out in fraudulent claims. [aside postID='news_11866438' label='More coverage']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chiu said it’s time for a change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He has introduced \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB1323\">Assembly Bill 1323\u003c/a>, which would give the California Department of Technology power to prioritize which older systems should be upgraded first. The bill also calls for the agency to identify which IT services could be centralized across departments and how to make that happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chiu said, too often, the department is treated like an emergency room physician.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They are brought in to try to create the IT defibrillator experience when a project is on life support,” he said. “And they’re expected to fix something that’s been broken for quite some time. And they’re brought in, often, too late to resuscitate a completely dysfunctional modernization project.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite being the home of some of the largest technology companies on the world, Chiu said the state has a dismal record when it comes to managing its own IT systems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It seems like most times the state has tried to modernize a department system, something goes massively wrong,” he said. “These efforts have been way over budget, woefully behind and plagued by major glitches.” [ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the clearest examples of this is the state’s Financial Information System for California (\u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/reports/2020/4132/fiscal-project-update-080120.pdf\">FI$Cal\u003c/a>) — a management system that is supposed to integrate the state’s accounting, budgeting, cash management and procurement processes. This effort started in 2005 with a six-year timeline and a $138 million budget. Since then, the cost has ballooned to around $1 billion and the deadline has been pushed to 2022 as the scope of the project has gradually increased.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These issues have created skepticism among some state lawmakers, making them reluctant to approve funds for improvement projects that may never be completed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration has been taking steps on its own to try to overhaul how the state deals with technology. In 2019, Newsom put in place a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11866438/after-a-string-of-bungled-tech-upgrades-california-tries-a-new-approach\">new procurement system\u003c/a> that requires vendors to show a proof of concept before they’re awarded a contract. The state is also taking a more modularized approach to updating legacy systems, rather than ripping out and replacing an entire system at once.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

"content": "\u003cp>San Francisco’s ever-unfolding corruption scandal has toppled the careers of four sitting city officials. After the investigation was first announced early last year, like dominoes, they fell from grace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, Mohammed Nuru, former director of San Francisco Public Works, was \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11798447/sf-public-works-director-mohammed-nuru-arrested-by-fbi\">arrested on corruption charges\u003c/a> in January 2020, and lost his job. Less than two months later, Tom Hui, the former director of the Department of Building Inspection, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/philmatier/article/SF-s-building-chief-Tom-Hui-pulls-the-plug-on-15148650.php\">faced allegations of breaching ethics laws\u003c/a> by the City Attorney’s Office and resigned before being dismissed. And in November, Harlan Kelly, the former general manager of the city’s Public Utilities Commission, faced similar charges, and stepped down from his position. His wife, Naomi Kelly, similarly abandoned her post as city administrator after being implicated in the charges against her husband, despite not being charged herself.[aside postID=\"news_11826653\" label=\"A look at policies that paved the way for the scandal\"]And the case continues to unfold. Just this week, City Attorney Dennis Herrera \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfcityattorney.org/2021/03/01/herrera-suspends-five-nuru-linked-executives-and-their-companies-from-receiving-sf-funds/\">issued first-of-its-kind orders to suspend city contracts\u003c/a> with companies and their executives who were found connected to the bribery and corruption scandal, pausing their business with San Francisco while justice takes its course.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those corruption charges stemmed\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11839531/report-corrupt-sf-official-directed-nonprofit-to-pay-60k-to-organizations-under-fbi-investigation\"> from a case\u003c/a> spearheaded by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California, led by former U.S. Attorney David Anderson — appointed by the Trump administration — whose last day on the job was Friday, Feb. 26. President Biden has yet to appoint his successor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On his way out the door, Anderson, who hails from San Jose, took time to speak with KQED reporter Joe Fitzgerald Rodriguez about his perspective leading public corruption investigations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anderson was quick to firmly address what is perhaps the top-of-mind question for many San Franciscans: He does not believe any incoming replacement for his job will in any way divert resources from the ongoing corruption case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At any one time, about six assistant U.S. attorneys have been working on the corruption investigation, when some cases may only have one or two attorneys, he said, a commitment of resources that demonstrates the importance of the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Is anybody among this field of candidates going to turn away from a promising investigation? It’s hard to believe,” he said.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"David Anderson, former U.S. attorney for the Northern District of California\"]‘I do think that a city like San Francisco is best served not just by honest leaders, but also by an active citizenry. And I do wonder about the level of engagement that I see in San Francisco.’[/pullquote]One important caveat hung over the conversation — as an attorney, Anderson cannot comment \u003cem>directly \u003c/em>on any active case. In lieu of specifics, we asked Anderson to engage in a more philosophical conversation about corruption in general, and how his views have evolved over the course of this investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This conversation has been edited for clarity and length. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joe Fitzgerald Rodriguez: A lot of our readers and listeners, when they first heard the news and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11838356/bribery-and-fraud-two-contractors-plead-guilty-in-sf-corruption-case\">then watched it unfold with every other official\u003c/a> over the last year, they felt it in almost all the different classic stages — anguish, anger, disappointment. When you first understood the totality of this, how did you emotionally react to that knowledge? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>U.S. Attorney David Anderson:\u003c/strong> One of the things they try to do to you in law school is to drub the emotion out of you. You just spend so much time right from the very beginning of your training as a lawyer thinking about things with your head more than your heart. So that’s one piece of context. And the other piece of context is that I’ve been doing this job in one form or other for more than 30 years. I’ve seen a few things in every different kind of case that we do in federal court that could be held up as the source of, to use your words, anguish, anger, disappointment. And you could add a long list of adjectives to it — fear and frustration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The thing that’s unique and powerful about the public corruption cases is the breach of public trust. And the idea that we are a sovereign people and the people who lead us are our public servants. And so it’s outrageous when you come to the conclusion that those who have been hired to serve the public are instead serving themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11849113\" label=\"more on the expansion of the corruption scandal\"]Now, I’m talking and going with you along this philosophical line. Obviously, in the context of any particular case, defendants who’ve been charged but have not been adjudicated are presumed innocent. And I have a profound respect for that presumption of innocence. So I want to just close by emphasizing that I am reacting to general questions and not talking about any particular case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>And that’s totally fair. You make the point that you’ve seen a lot in your years of service. So for people who are like, ‘Oh, my God, I can’t believe my government is doing this,’ where would you put this in the context of corruption in other cities? Where would you put it on the scale?\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m not able to compare what is happening in San Francisco to other cities. I just don’t have the competency to do that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The one thing that I would say that I think connects fairly to your question is that early on when I returned to the office as a U.S. attorney, I identified 25 people in my office and put each one of them in charge of one particular aspect of the myriad of different kinds of cases that we handle. And one of those 25 is an assistant U.S. attorney who I put in charge of public corruption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I said, ‘OK, what I want you to do is I want you to find the people in Chicago and in New York and in the other offices that you identify that have greater experience with public corruption cases than historically this office in San Francisco has had. Find them, talk to them, come back and tell me what it is that we should be thinking about when we do these cases. And he did that. And I think that that has been a contributor to the work that we’ve done.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What would you say to the people who ask, ‘Should this \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11821145/months-after-sf-public-works-boss-nurus-arrest-staff-push-for-corruption-cleanup\">shake my faith\u003c/a> in my local government?’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I do think that a city like San Francisco is best served not just by honest leaders, but also by an active citizenry. And I do wonder about the level of engagement that I see in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just generally speaking, with our political process, what I see is a small number of people who are highly actively engaged. And I see a larger number of people who are enjoying all the other things that San Francisco has to offer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, to the extent that looking at the cases that we have charged serves as a wake-up call for someone who is in San Francisco — maybe I should be paying more attention to this — I welcome that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>At this point, several people connected to the scandal have pleaded guilty and cooperated with investigators, including restaurateur Nick Bovis and Walter Wong, a permit expediter. What’s their motivation for doing so? Did they go, ‘I can’t do this anymore!’ Or was it something where, in a practical matter, fancy lawyering and whatnot, they didn’t really have much of an option in front of them?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m trying to have the conversation that you want to have and certainly can talk generally about the process by which defendants come to cooperate. That’s something that I’ve seen on both sides of the courtroom going back for four decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think probably the easiest way to look at that is from the perspective of the client-counsel interaction and again, not talking about any particular case and certainly not intruding on any particular attorney-client privilege, but just positing sort of the hypothetical conversation. It usually goes something like this:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You’re confronting these charges. You’re confronting this evidence. What’s going to be your answer? And oftentimes there’s sort of a moment where the client is saying, ‘Well, you know, how come I got to answer? You’re the lawyer.’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, of course, the lawyer doesn’t know the facts. The lawyer can only learn those from the client, maybe from the discovery that’s provided by the prosecutor. So eventually the conversation will move in the direction of, ‘Do we have an answer to this or don’t we?’ And if we do, then let’s get out there and provide that answer, and if we don’t, well, then let’s start planning for our day of reckoning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11849988\" label=\"Willie Brown gives his opinion on the scandal\"]And again, looking at this from that defense perspective, looking at it from the perspective of client and counsel, you can mount a variety of non-factual defenses. If a defendant’s profound constitutional rights have been violated, you may have defenses to the charges even if the charges are true. So there’s a lot of different directions from the defense perspective that you can go. One of the things you can do is, you can cooperate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And each client has to decide, is this the right move for me? And clients will do that for a variety of reasons. They’ll do it because they want to mitigate exposure. They’ll do it because they feel remorse. They want to try and make things better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It does happen that you have cooperators that come to you, they come to you either in public or they come to you in secret. And then those cooperators can become an important part of taking the next step or the next half step in an investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You touched on this a bit \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101882168/u-s-attorney-david-anderson-leaves-office\">on KQED’s Forum\u003c/a>, but I’m interested in the rationale. Is there a possibility your successor might decide to shift resources and say, ‘I want fewer eyes on this case and more eyes on another case?’ \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The names I’ve heard in the public sphere of candidates to take over the U.S. attorney’s job are experienced, capable. All of them are alums of the U.S. attorney’s office. I’m thinking about this now. All of them are people with whom I’ve served previously. And so this is a strong field of candidates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some hypothetical sense, could a new U.S. attorney redirect resources? Yeah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Is anybody among this field of candidates going to turn away from a promising investigation? It’s hard to believe.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"David Anderson\"]‘It’s outrageous when you come to the conclusion that those who have been hired to serve the public are instead serving themselves.’[/pullquote]\u003cstrong>In looking back at this major corruption case that has shaken the city, how do you feel about what you and your officers were able to accomplish? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a sense, the business of a prosecutor is always unfinished. There’s never a point where you wake up and you’re like, ‘Oh, good news, no crime today!’ So every day you drive your docket is a day that you’re pushing back on the evils of our community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so whether I served for two weeks or two years or two decades, that idea of unfinished business would still be true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So what will you do now? Is this a John Elway, ‘I’m going to Disneyland,’ moment for you?’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ll take some time and then head back to private practice. I’ve done basically three things in my professional life: I’ve clerked, I’ve prosecuted and I’ve defended. So I’ll head back to private practice — I’ve enjoyed that as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It has been interesting to take part in the public life of San Francisco as I’ve been able to do as U.S. attorney, and I would say that I’m describing that as an interesting experience, sort of in the same way that my dad might say, ‘This was an interesting new dish that we got for dinner tonight.’ It’s pluses and minuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Being U.S. attorney is a great job. You are not tethered in your work to the demands of your clients. Instead, you’re given a broad mandate directly from the president, from the Senate, from the attorney general, to effectuate justice as effectively as you possibly can in your district. You’re given incredible talent to act upon that in the sense of 135 [assistant attorneys], hundreds of staff, and then the partnership of all of the law enforcement agencies with which we team. So it’s an amazing position in all those ways. And then also, you know, you get an opportunity like I’m talking to you, to speak in a public way. So all those things are fabulous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But at the same time, in private practice, you’re just obsessing over your clients, over their problems. And then that can be pretty great, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Obviously, in the context of any particular case, defendants who’ve been charged but have not been adjudicated are presumed innocent. And I have a profound respect for that presumption of innocence. So I want to just close by emphasizing that I am reacting to general questions and not talking about any particular case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>And that’s totally fair. You make the point that you’ve seen a lot in your years of service. So for people who are like, ‘Oh, my God, I can’t believe my government is doing this,’ where would you put this in the context of corruption in other cities? Where would you put it on the scale?\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m not able to compare what is happening in San Francisco to other cities. I just don’t have the competency to do that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The one thing that I would say that I think connects fairly to your question is that early on when I returned to the office as a U.S. attorney, I identified 25 people in my office and put each one of them in charge of one particular aspect of the myriad of different kinds of cases that we handle. And one of those 25 is an assistant U.S. attorney who I put in charge of public corruption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I said, ‘OK, what I want you to do is I want you to find the people in Chicago and in New York and in the other offices that you identify that have greater experience with public corruption cases than historically this office in San Francisco has had. Find them, talk to them, come back and tell me what it is that we should be thinking about when we do these cases. And he did that. And I think that that has been a contributor to the work that we’ve done.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What would you say to the people who ask, ‘Should this \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11821145/months-after-sf-public-works-boss-nurus-arrest-staff-push-for-corruption-cleanup\">shake my faith\u003c/a> in my local government?’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I do think that a city like San Francisco is best served not just by honest leaders, but also by an active citizenry. And I do wonder about the level of engagement that I see in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just generally speaking, with our political process, what I see is a small number of people who are highly actively engaged. And I see a larger number of people who are enjoying all the other things that San Francisco has to offer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, to the extent that looking at the cases that we have charged serves as a wake-up call for someone who is in San Francisco — maybe I should be paying more attention to this — I welcome that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>At this point, several people connected to the scandal have pleaded guilty and cooperated with investigators, including restaurateur Nick Bovis and Walter Wong, a permit expediter. What’s their motivation for doing so? Did they go, ‘I can’t do this anymore!’ Or was it something where, in a practical matter, fancy lawyering and whatnot, they didn’t really have much of an option in front of them?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m trying to have the conversation that you want to have and certainly can talk generally about the process by which defendants come to cooperate. That’s something that I’ve seen on both sides of the courtroom going back for four decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think probably the easiest way to look at that is from the perspective of the client-counsel interaction and again, not talking about any particular case and certainly not intruding on any particular attorney-client privilege, but just positing sort of the hypothetical conversation. It usually goes something like this:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You’re confronting these charges. You’re confronting this evidence. What’s going to be your answer? And oftentimes there’s sort of a moment where the client is saying, ‘Well, you know, how come I got to answer? You’re the lawyer.’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, of course, the lawyer doesn’t know the facts. The lawyer can only learn those from the client, maybe from the discovery that’s provided by the prosecutor. So eventually the conversation will move in the direction of, ‘Do we have an answer to this or don’t we?’ And if we do, then let’s get out there and provide that answer, and if we don’t, well, then let’s start planning for our day of reckoning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

You are not tethered in your work to the demands of your clients. Instead, you’re given a broad mandate directly from the president, from the Senate, from the attorney general, to effectuate justice as effectively as you possibly can in your district. You’re given incredible talent to act upon that in the sense of 135 [assistant attorneys], hundreds of staff, and then the partnership of all of the law enforcement agencies with which we team. So it’s an amazing position in all those ways. And then also, you know, you get an opportunity like I’m talking to you, to speak in a public way. So all those things are fabulous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But at the same time, in private practice, you’re just obsessing over your clients, over their problems.

The Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment were among those that rallied at the Capitol this week to fight for stronger protections. In a \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/CalOrganize/status/1299072822539509761?s=19\">series of tweets\u003c/a>, the group criticized the compromise bill as \"complicated and burdensome for tenants.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Gavin Newsom is literally about to make a deal that could throw millions of Californians out of their homes in the coming months amidst a pandemic – most of them poor, Black and Latinx. If that's not cold-blooded racism, we're not sure what is,\" the organization wrote on Twitter Thursday, as the compromise bill was in its last day of negotiations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CalOrganize/status/1299072822539509761?s=19\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill comes right under the wire, since Monday marks the end of the legislative session. The state Senate is poised to vote on the COVID-19 relief act on Monday, but the bill will face a high hurdle – a two-thirds majority – to pass. Then it will make its way back to the Assembly for a final vote and the governor’s signature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, Newsom said at his noon press conference he was \"pleased\" and \"grateful\" that \"people that don't always see eye to eye, don't always agree,\" came together across their differences to create a compromise bill to help tenants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They \"worked very hard over a long period of weeks, not just days,\" he said, \"to accommodate not only for tenants, millions of people at risk of eviction, to accommodate for timing when those evictions will occur, to accommodate for small landlords that rightfully are concerned about not being able to pay their mortgages.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both previous tenant protection bills, AB 1436 and Senate Bill 1410, authored by state Sen. Anna M. Caballero, D-Salinas, are now off the table. Caballero, Chiu, Newsom and advocates for tenants and landlords hammered out the compromise bill over the last few weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How It Works\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Notably, the legislation doesn't stop \u003cem>all\u003c/em> evictions. And the provisions to protect renters come with timelines attached.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are the main tenant protection provisions in the bill:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Full protections:\u003c/strong> Any rent missed between March 1 and Aug. 31 will be converted to civil debt. This means landlords can take tenants to small claims court for any missed rent — but they can't evict you for not paying it.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Protections with a caveat:\u003c/strong> Rents missed between Sept. 1 and Jan. 31 are a different story, however. Tenants \u003cem>must pay\u003c/em> 25% of rent within that period or else they'll be open to eviction. The remaining 75% of their rent is treated as a civil debt, just like the provision for missed rent from between March 1 and August 31.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>More time:\u003c/strong> Also under the new law, the usual three-day notice to evict that landlords post – mandatory before they go through the court process to evict a tenant – is now a 15-day-notice.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>How to file:\u003c/strong> That notice is also how a tenant begins protecting themselves from eviction: Once a landlord has posted a 15-day notice, a tenant can file with their landlord that they have a pandemic-related hardship.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Caveats and Concessions\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A former version of this compromise bill – Assembly Bill 1436 – also authored by Chiu, would've allowed anyone to file an attestation that they were experiencing a pandemic-caused financial hardship to qualify for eviction protection. Now, that requirement is tighter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Perjury:\u003c/strong> Under the new version of the bill, tenants must swear under penalty of perjury that they are enduring a pandemic-related hardship. Tenant advocates are worried that may scare off undocumented immigrants and other vulnerable populations from filing for those protections in the first place.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Means-testing:\u003c/strong> If a tenant earns 130% of a county's area median income or higher, a landlord can ask for them to produce \u003cem>proof \u003c/em>of a pandemic-related financial hardship, like a layoff or wage-reduction notice from an employer.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>No more eviction moratoriums:\u003c/strong> Eviction moratoriums previously passed by cities and counties will be grandfathered in, but they won't be able to pass any extensions specifically for evictions regarding non-payment of rent. While some of them are stronger than the state's provisions, some are set to expire after 30 days.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Courts:\u003c/strong> Courts will face a tighter time frame, too. They'll have until just Oct. 5 to begin processing evictions for non-payment of rent in non-COVID cases, though sources familiar with the negotiations suggest courts may find themselves scrambling to ramp up staff in time.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Property owners:\u003c/strong> Mortgage forbearance is now out of the picture. Under pressure from groups representing small property owners, Chiu had amended AB 1436 to allow property owners – even non-landlords – to make late mortgage payments. Under pressure from the banking industry, that's now gone.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Despite concerns from tenant organizations, the California Apartment Association, representing landlords, were supportive of the compromise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='eviction-moratorium']“We’ve been working around the clock with lawmakers and the governor’s office to make sure the legislation is fair and balanced,” said Debra Carlton, executive vice president of state public affairs at the California Apartment Association, in a statement. \"Our goal has been to provide both help for tenants who are truly affected by COVID-19, as well as compensation for landlords, especially mom and pop owners, at risk of foreclosure after several months without rent payments.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked to describe negotiations with the California Apartment Association and lawmakers who had their ear, Chiu noted \"the landlord industry is an incredibly powerful force in Sacramento,\" making tenant bills notoriously hard to pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'll be the first to say this proposal has shortcomings. We wanted more. We fought for more,\" Chiu said. While the bill won't halt all evictions, \"it will prevent many evictions and delay even more.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, he added, \"turning away from an imperfect proposal and allowing all evictions to resume immediately without any protections is just not an option. The consequences are too dire.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

The state Senate is poised to vote on the COVID-19 relief act on Monday, but the bill will face a high hurdle – a two-thirds majority – to pass. Then it will make its way back to the Assembly for a final vote and the governor’s signature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, Newsom said at his noon press conference he was \"pleased\" and \"grateful\" that \"people that don't always see eye to eye, don't always agree,\" came together across their differences to create a compromise bill to help tenants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They \"worked very hard over a long period of weeks, not just days,\" he said, \"to accommodate not only for tenants, millions of people at risk of eviction, to accommodate for timing when those evictions will occur, to accommodate for small landlords that rightfully are concerned about not being able to pay their mortgages.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both previous tenant protection bills, AB 1436 and Senate Bill 1410, authored by state Sen. Anna M. Caballero, D-Salinas, are now off the table. Caballero, Chiu, Newsom and advocates for tenants and landlords hammered out the compromise bill over the last few weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How It Works\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Notably, the legislation doesn't stop \u003cem>all\u003c/em> evictions. And the provisions to protect renters come with timelines attached.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are the main tenant protection provisions in the bill:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Full protections:\u003c/strong> Any rent missed between March 1 and Aug. 31 will be converted to civil debt. This means landlords can take tenants to small claims court for any missed rent — but they can't evict you for not paying it.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Protections with a caveat:\u003c/strong> Rents missed between Sept. 1 and Jan. 31 are a different story, however. Tenants \u003cem>must pay\u003c/em> 25% of rent within that period or else they'll be open to eviction. The remaining 75% of their rent is treated as a civil debt, just like the provision for missed rent from between March 1 and August 31.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>More time:\u003c/strong> Also under the new law, the usual three-day notice to evict that landlords post – mandatory before they go through the court process to evict a tenant – is now a 15-day-notice.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>How to file:\u003c/strong> That notice is also how a tenant begins protecting themselves from eviction: Once a landlord has posted a 15-day notice, a tenant can file with their landlord that they have a pandemic-related hardship.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Caveats and Concessions\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A former version of this compromise bill – Assembly Bill 1436 – also authored by Chiu, would've allowed anyone to file an attestation that they were experiencing a pandemic-caused financial hardship to qualify for eviction protection. Now, that requirement is tighter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Perjury:\u003c/strong> Under the new version of the bill, tenants must swear under penalty of perjury that they are enduring a pandemic-related hardship. Tenant advocates are worried that may scare off undocumented immigrants and other vulnerable populations from filing for those protections in the first place.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Means-testing:\u003c/strong> If a tenant earns 130% of a county's area median income or higher, a landlord can ask for them to produce \u003cem>proof \u003c/em>of a pandemic-related financial hardship, like a layoff or wage-reduction notice from an employer.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>No more eviction moratoriums:\u003c/strong> Eviction moratoriums previously passed by cities and counties will be grandfathered in, but they won't be able to pass any extensions specifically for evictions regarding non-payment of rent. While some of them are stronger than the state's provisions, some are set to expire after 30 days.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Courts:\u003c/strong> Courts will face a tighter time frame, too. They'll have until just Oct. 5 to begin processing evictions for non-payment of rent in non-COVID cases, though sources familiar with the negotiations suggest courts may find themselves scrambling to ramp up staff in time.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Property owners:\u003c/strong> Mortgage forbearance is now out of the picture. Under pressure from groups representing small property owners, Chiu had amended AB 1436 to allow property owners – even non-landlords – to make late mortgage payments. Under pressure from the banking industry, that's now gone.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Despite concerns from tenant organizations, the California Apartment Association, representing landlords, were supportive of the compromise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It’s not the four- to five-story apartment buildings Weiner had hoped for in SB 50, he said, but it’s a start.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It will be a solid step forward in addressing the crisis,” he said. “More work will remain.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblyman Richard Bloom’s AB 1279, a revision of SB 50, targets wealthy enclaves typically averse to providing low-income housing. Unlike SB 50, which proposed taller buildings near transit, Bloom’s bill would put those four- and five-story buildings in “high-opportunity areas,” which the state’s Department of Housing and Community Development would have to specifically define by 2022.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"more housing coverage\" tag=\"housing\"]The idea is to focus new housing construction in neighborhoods with better access to jobs, schools, air quality and other factors that lead to better health and that low-income renters and homeowners have long been excluded from. Developers who take advantage of the bill would have to offer the homes or rentals at affordable prices, construct some affordable housing on site or pay a fee to fund affordable housing construction elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“AB 1279 removes barriers to equitable and inclusive development,” said Frank Martinez, policy director with the Southern California Association of Nonprofit Housing. “Stopping some of the income and racial segregation in housing would be a big move.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are also two bills under consideration that would allow developers to turn vacant offices, dying malls and big box stores into housing. The Assembly’s version, AB 3107, requires 20% of the new housing in those commercial areas to be affordable. The Senate’s version, SB 1385, requires affordable housing only in specific circumstances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two other bills in the Senate and Assembly would expand the state’s “density bonus” law, which allows developers to build taller buildings in exchange for providing affordable housing.

The proposal allows developers to build taller buildings in exchange for rental housing that is at least 30% less expensive than the median rent.

The Senate’s version, SB 1085, focuses on “missing middle” housing that is more affordable to middle-income earners. The proposal allows developers to build taller buildings in exchange for rental housing that is at least 30% less expensive than the median rent.
