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.",

Gavin Newsom denounced in starkly personal terms a federal judge’s upending of the state’s restrictions on assault weapons as officials announced the filing Thursday of a formal notice that they will appeal the decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They described last week’s ruling by U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez as an outlier that conflicts with at least six other federal decisions upholding assault weapons laws in California and elsewhere, a ruling that is designed to get the issue before a recently more conservative U.S. Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom, the son of a judge, denounced Benitez as “a stone cold ideologue. He is a wholly owned subsidiary of the gun lobby of the National Rifle Association.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state already is appealing the same judge’s 2017 ruling against the state’s nearly two-decade-old ban on the sales and purchases of magazines holding more than 10 bullets, and his ruling last year blocking a 2019 California law requiring background checks for anyone buying ammunition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to call this federal judge out. He will continue to do damage, mark my word,” Newsom said. “This is a very focused agenda to work through this judge, where the decision’s already made before it’s even presented, who writes ‘press releases’ on behalf of the gun lobby.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gun owners’ rights groups have made no secret of their effort to get firearms restrictions before the nation’s high court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Firearms Policy Coalition, which led plaintiffs who won at the trial level, condemned the governor’s “outrageous and callous personal attacks” on the judge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Newsom’s verbal assaults on a long-respected member of the judiciary shows his deep and continuing disrespect for the rule of law, the judiciary, the Constitution, and the human rights of California citizens,” the group said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Benitez was appointed by Republican President George W. Bush. Newsom, a Democrat, also assailed Republicans who don’t support gun restrictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A three-judge appeals court panel agreed with Benitez on his ammunition magazine ruling, but the decision is being reconsidered by a larger appellate panel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney General Rob Bonta filed the three-page notice of appeal and plans to ask the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for a stay so the current 32-year assault weapons ban will remain in effect throughout the appeals process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11877597\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS48088_032_SanFrancisco_NewsomBontaPressConference_03242021-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1278\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11877597\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS48088_032_SanFrancisco_NewsomBontaPressConference_03242021-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS48088_032_SanFrancisco_NewsomBontaPressConference_03242021-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS48088_032_SanFrancisco_NewsomBontaPressConference_03242021-qut-1020x679.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS48088_032_SanFrancisco_NewsomBontaPressConference_03242021-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS48088_032_SanFrancisco_NewsomBontaPressConference_03242021-qut-1536x1022.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">California Attorney General Rob Bonta speaks during a press conference on March 24, 2021, with Gov. Gavin Newsom in the background. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Benitez ruled on Friday that the state’s definition of illegal military-style rifles violates the U.S. Constitution because it deprives law-abiding Californians of weapons commonly allowed in most other states. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics of the ruling, including Bonta and Newsom, were particularly upset with the judge’s comparison of assault weapons to a common tool: “Like the Swiss Army knife, the popular AR-15 rifle is a perfect combination of home defense weapon and homeland defense equipment. Good for both home and battle,” the judge wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Pocket knives were not intended to kill as many people as possible,” said Mattie Scott, Brady California state president, whose 24-year-old son was killed with an assault weapon in 1996.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State officials announced their appeal at San Francisco General Hospital, a Level I Trauma Center, where trauma surgeon Dr. Andre Campbell vividly described the damage that can be done by a high-speed rifle round fired from an assault weapon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“An AR-15 is a weapon of mass destruction … used in warfare,” Campbell said. It “causes absolute devastation to the human body. It is as if a bomb went off in the tissues of the patient.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Gun Control' tag='gun-control']California first banned specific brands of weapons in 1989 after a mass shooting at a Stockton elementary school killed five children and injured more than two dozen others. The state has updated the law several times since then and overall has some of the nation’s strictest firearms laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a result, “we have one of the lowest gun death rates in the entire country,” said Robyn Thomas, executive director of the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Firearms Policy Coalition said it will oppose any stay of Benitez’s order. It had argued in part that assault weapons are no more deadly than some other weapons that are not banned by the state. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The State’s desire to continue imposing its ban should not be allowed to prevail over the fundamental rights of law-abiding gun owners,” the group said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom and Bonta are longtime supporters of what they term commonsense gun restrictions. The governor likely faces a recall election this fall largely driven by his handling of the coronavirus pandemic. Bonta took office in April to fill a vacancy and faces several more conservative challengers in next year’s election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their move was backed earlier by 10 Democratic state lawmakers who said the restrictions help control gun violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats who control the state Assembly on Thursday revived for future consideration a bill that would raise taxes on the sale of guns and ammunition. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill requires a two-thirds vote because it would raise taxes, and last week it failed to muster enough votes. It would impose a 10% tax on the sales price of handguns and an 11% tax on the sales price of rifles, precursor parts and ammunition, using the money for gun violence prevention and recovery programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Adam Beam of The Associated Press contributed to this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

A \u003ca href=\"https://www.auditor.ca.gov/reports/2020-112/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">scathing audit\u003c/a> published earlier this year found there are nine state agencies administering 41 separate programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]Mike Walsh, deputy director at the Riverside County Housing Authority, said his agency was able to apply to one large pot of money that was then used for multiple projects, including one for LGBTQ+ youth in downtown Riverside and another for immigrant farmworker communities in Oasis, Mecca and Thermal. To him, that was a big deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It really allows us to be creative and come up with different types of projects,” he said. “That level of flexibility under one program creates efficiency without having to say, ‘OK, we apply for this bucket of money for the farmworkers, and this bucket of money for the LGBTQ youth.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Hidden Costs\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In addition to the speed and flexibility of the initiative, Newsom’s administration has touted Homekey’s comparatively low cost. They \u003ca href=\"https://www.hcd.ca.gov/policy-research/plans-reports/docs/hcd100_homekeyreport_v18.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">frequently highlight\u003c/a> the average amount of CARES Act funding spent on each of Homekey’s nearly 6,000 housing units — $129,254 — pointing out that it’s well below the \u003ca href=\"https://ternercenter.berkeley.edu/wp-content/uploads/pdfs/LIHTC_Construction_Costs_March_2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">statewide average of $480,000 per unit\u003c/a> for new affordable housing construction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that lower per-unit cost belies two important caveats: Most of the projects required city and county matching funds, bringing the total average development cost to $226,000, according to data from the state’s Department of Housing and Community Development. And many of the projects — like the Kerner Boulevard office building in San Rafael — will need additional funding to convert from temporary to permanent housing, which means the full costs are not yet known.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the case of the Kerner Boulevard site, nonprofit developer Eden Housing is planning to apply for roughly $24 million in federal and state funding, plus a private loan, that will go toward seismic and Americans With Disabilities Act upgrades, as well as new interior walls, kitchenettes and bathrooms, said Andrea Osgood, the nonprofit’s vice president of real estate development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11877009\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49433_047_SanRafael_ProjectHomekey_05172021-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11877009\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49433_047_SanRafael_ProjectHomekey_05172021-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49433_047_SanRafael_ProjectHomekey_05172021-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49433_047_SanRafael_ProjectHomekey_05172021-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49433_047_SanRafael_ProjectHomekey_05172021-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49433_047_SanRafael_ProjectHomekey_05172021-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49433_047_SanRafael_ProjectHomekey_05172021-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The outside of a former office building in San Rafael that was recently converted into a temporary shelter for people experiencing homelessness. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>With 41 units and a total development cost of around $31 million, including the initial Homekey funding, the final per-unit cost comes in at around $756,000 — a price comparable to new construction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Osgood said, Homekey’s real benefit is that it allowed her organization to quickly break through some of the biggest barriers affordable housing projects face: the permitting process and neighborhood opposition.

And that’s the goal of Homekey: to provide permanent housing for more people like her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case of Kerner Boulevard, however, shows that creating it often takes time and can be complicated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other projects have a more straightforward path. Many of the hotel conversions won’t require as large of an investment, because they’ll only need kitchenettes installed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And some won’t need any additional funding. In Oakland, Bay Area Community Services purchased 17 single-family houses that will be used as group homes, with an average per-unit cost of around $102,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most of the homes were move-in ready,” said Jamie Almanza, the nonprofit’s CEO. “We were able to acquire all the homes within a three-month span of time, and then we did very minor improvements as needed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Homekey’s Future\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>But buying the building is only the first step, and it’s still unclear where ongoing funding for onsite services and maintenance will come from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have the same question that many others in the field have, which is what’s a sustainable source of funding?” said Dr. Margot Kushel, director of the Center for Vulnerable Populations at UCSF. “Because it’s not a one-time expense. A one-time expense is necessary, but not sufficient.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state required all of the applicants to submit plans for how they would pay for up to five years of operations. And, it’s also funding up to two years of operating expenses for some projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, once that funding expires, there aren’t many places for service providers to apply to get the money they would need to keep operating, said Catholic Charities’ Ellen Hammerle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So, we’re kind of in a creative process at the moment,” Hammerle said. “I would say, ‘It’s developing.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11877004\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49418_032_SanRafael_ProjectHomekey_05172021-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11877004\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49418_032_SanRafael_ProjectHomekey_05172021-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49418_032_SanRafael_ProjectHomekey_05172021-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49418_032_SanRafael_ProjectHomekey_05172021-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49418_032_SanRafael_ProjectHomekey_05172021-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49418_032_SanRafael_ProjectHomekey_05172021-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49418_032_SanRafael_ProjectHomekey_05172021-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Resident Daunte Floyd Beauchamp stands in his dorm room at an office space in San Rafael that was recently converted into a temporary shelter for people experiencing homelessness. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Jason Elliott, Newsom’s housing adviser, said it was better to act quickly to get the money out the door and buy the buildings than wait for all the details to be worked out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a challenge that every affordable housing project faces at some level and in some time frame,” Elliott said. “But, I’d rather answer those questions with people under roofs than with them living under overpasses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, Kushel says there is a danger in moving too quickly — that speed could come at the cost of equity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the state looks to expand Homekey, Kushel said special attention must be paid to ensure Homekey doesn’t perpetuate the systems that have failed so many people of color, particularly African Americans.

And many of the projects — like the Kerner Boulevard office building in San Rafael — will need additional funding to convert from temporary to permanent housing, which means the full costs are not yet known.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the case of the Kerner Boulevard site, nonprofit developer Eden Housing is planning to apply for roughly $24 million in federal and state funding, plus a private loan, that will go toward seismic and Americans With Disabilities Act upgrades, as well as new interior walls, kitchenettes and bathrooms, said Andrea Osgood, the nonprofit’s vice president of real estate development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11877009\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49433_047_SanRafael_ProjectHomekey_05172021-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11877009\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49433_047_SanRafael_ProjectHomekey_05172021-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49433_047_SanRafael_ProjectHomekey_05172021-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49433_047_SanRafael_ProjectHomekey_05172021-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49433_047_SanRafael_ProjectHomekey_05172021-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49433_047_SanRafael_ProjectHomekey_05172021-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49433_047_SanRafael_ProjectHomekey_05172021-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The outside of a former office building in San Rafael that was recently converted into a temporary shelter for people experiencing homelessness. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>With 41 units and a total development cost of around $31 million, including the initial Homekey funding, the final per-unit cost comes in at around $756,000 — a price comparable to new construction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Osgood said, Homekey’s real benefit is that it allowed her organization to quickly break through some of the biggest barriers affordable housing projects face: the permitting process and neighborhood opposition.

Even though it’s not my home, I just feel safe.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, her goal is to move into a place that will be home. And that’s the goal of Homekey: to provide permanent housing for more people like her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case of Kerner Boulevard, however, shows that creating it often takes time and can be complicated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other projects have a more straightforward path. Many of the hotel conversions won’t require as large of an investment, because they’ll only need kitchenettes installed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And some won’t need any additional funding.

A one-time expense is necessary, but not sufficient.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state required all of the applicants to submit plans for how they would pay for up to five years of operations. And, it’s also funding up to two years of operating expenses for some projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, once that funding expires, there aren’t many places for service providers to apply to get the money they would need to keep operating, said Catholic Charities’ Ellen Hammerle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So, we’re kind of in a creative process at the moment,” Hammerle said. “I would say, ‘It’s developing.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11877004\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49418_032_SanRafael_ProjectHomekey_05172021-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11877004\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49418_032_SanRafael_ProjectHomekey_05172021-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49418_032_SanRafael_ProjectHomekey_05172021-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49418_032_SanRafael_ProjectHomekey_05172021-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49418_032_SanRafael_ProjectHomekey_05172021-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49418_032_SanRafael_ProjectHomekey_05172021-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49418_032_SanRafael_ProjectHomekey_05172021-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Resident Daunte Floyd Beauchamp stands in his dorm room at an office space in San Rafael that was recently converted into a temporary shelter for people experiencing homelessness. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Jason Elliott, Newsom’s housing adviser, said it was better to act quickly to get the money out the door and buy the buildings than wait for all the details to be worked out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a challenge that every affordable housing project faces at some level and in some time frame,” Elliott said. “But, I’d rather answer those questions with people under roofs than with them living under overpasses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, Kushel says there is a danger in moving too quickly — that speed could come at the cost of equity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the state looks to expand Homekey, Kushel said special attention must be paid to ensure Homekey doesn’t perpetuate the systems that have failed so many people of color, particularly African Americans.

For instance, Newsom implemented a statewide \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1959566/california-gov-gavin-newsom-orders-state-to-shelter-in-place\">stay-at-home order\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11807102/newsom-authorizes-california-cities-to-stop-evictions-tenant-advocates-say-more-is-needed\">urged cities to halt the eviction of renters\u003c/a> affected by COVID-19 and spent hundreds of millions of dollars with \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11813179/state-lawmakers-want-more-say-in-californias-covid-19-response\">limited legislative oversight\u003c/a>.

Capacity restrictions, physical distancing and mask mandates for the fully vaccinated will largely be lifted. Levinson said it may be time for Newsom’s emergency powers to be lifted along with them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The whole idea behind separation of powers is we don’t trust anyone that much, that we don’t want to give the so-called sovereign, the governor, too much power because they’ll just keep taking and taking and taking,” Levinson said. “Are we there? No. But are we at the place where we have to say if we can resume life as normal, then we can resume our government as normal? Yes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans in California have long thought Newsom should give up his emergency powers. Gubernatorial candidates Kevin Faulconer and John Cox, both hoping to replace Newsom in the upcoming recall election, each criticized him for keeping the state of emergency in place. State Sen. Melissa Melendez, R-Lake Elsinore, told San Diego television station \u003ca href=\"https://www.kusi.com/sen-melendezs-bill-may-end-state-of-emergency-and-gov-newsoms-emergency-powers/\">KUSI\u003c/a> last February that while some safety protocols should remain, it was time for the state of emergency to end. She introduced \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220SCR5\">legislation\u003c/a> at the end of 2020 to do just that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Take away this kind of one-man rule over the state and allow counties to determine what is best for their county,” Melendez said, “whether that is opening schools or opening businesses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Melendez’s measure quickly stalled in the Democratic-controlled Senate. Newsom has largely \u003ca href=\"https://www.bgdailynews.com/news/state/court-upholds-california-governors-use-of-emergency-powers/article_28fadf7d-5f2b-58b8-a30a-9762d6ad795e.html\">beaten any legal challenges\u003c/a> to his authority, with the exception of limits placed on indoor religious services. And legislative Democrats have not been in any hurry to reclaim their power. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11873575/anthony-rendon-on-the-state-budget-and-newsoms-executive-powers\">Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon\u003c/a>, D-Lakewood, told KQED he thinks things will soon go back to normal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When the state reopens on June 15, we anticipate that a lot of that stuff will recede. We, the Assembly and the Legislature more generally, obviously, we think we have a role in governance. And, yeah, if the emergency goes away, it’s time for the emergency powers to go away.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, there’s currently no vote scheduled in either the Assembly or the Senate to end the state of emergency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom could end it himself. In fact, the \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?sectionNum=8629&lawCode=GOV\">law requires him\u003c/a> to “at the earliest possible date that conditions warrant.” However, at a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDiNAF0ISrM\">news conference\u003c/a> last week, Newsom said variants of the virus are still spreading that, combined with varying vaccination rates in other states and countries, could require him to issue new restrictions in the future. His office further asserts the state of emergency gives the state access to federal money needed to continue critical COVID-related services, like vaccinations, testing and contact tracing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So for now, at least, he will keep the state of emergency in place past June 15. And that means his emergency powers will stay in place, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Reporting from the Associated Press was used in this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Capacity restrictions, physical distancing and mask mandates for the fully vaccinated will largely be lifted. Levinson said it may be time for Newsom’s emergency powers to be lifted along with them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The whole idea behind separation of powers is we don’t trust anyone that much, that we don’t want to give the so-called sovereign, the governor, too much power because they’ll just keep taking and taking and taking,” Levinson said. “Are we there? No. But are we at the place where we have to say if we can resume life as normal, then we can resume our government as normal? Yes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans in California have long thought Newsom should give up his emergency powers. Gubernatorial candidates Kevin Faulconer and John Cox, both hoping to replace Newsom in the upcoming recall election, each criticized him for keeping the state of emergency in place. State Sen. Melissa Melendez, R-Lake Elsinore, told San Diego television station \u003ca href=\"https://www.kusi.com/sen-melendezs-bill-may-end-state-of-emergency-and-gov-newsoms-emergency-powers/\">KUSI\u003c/a> last February that while some safety protocols should remain, it was time for the state of emergency to end. She introduced \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220SCR5\">legislation\u003c/a> at the end of 2020 to do just that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Take away this kind of one-man rule over the state and allow counties to determine what is best for their county,” Melendez said, “whether that is opening schools or opening businesses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Melendez’s measure quickly stalled in the Democratic-controlled Senate. Newsom has largely \u003ca href=\"https://www.bgdailynews.com/news/state/court-upholds-california-governors-use-of-emergency-powers/article_28fadf7d-5f2b-58b8-a30a-9762d6ad795e.html\">beaten any legal challenges\u003c/a> to his authority, with the exception of limits placed on indoor religious services. And legislative Democrats have not been in any hurry to reclaim their power. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11873575/anthony-rendon-on-the-state-budget-and-newsoms-executive-powers\">Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon\u003c/a>, D-Lakewood, told KQED he thinks things will soon go back to normal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When the state reopens on June 15, we anticipate that a lot of that stuff will recede. We, the Assembly and the Legislature more generally, obviously, we think we have a role in governance. And, yeah, if the emergency goes away, it’s time for the emergency powers to go away.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, there’s currently no vote scheduled in either the Assembly or the Senate to end the state of emergency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom could end it himself. In fact, the \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?sectionNum=8629&lawCode=GOV\">law requires him\u003c/a> to “at the earliest possible date that conditions warrant.” However, at a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDiNAF0ISrM\">news conference\u003c/a> last week, Newsom said variants of the virus are still spreading that, combined with varying vaccination rates in other states and countries, could require him to issue new restrictions in the future. His office further asserts the state of emergency gives the state access to federal money needed to continue critical COVID-related services, like vaccinations, testing and contact tracing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So for now, at least, he will keep the state of emergency in place past June 15. And that means his emergency powers will stay in place, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Reporting from the Associated Press was used in this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>There's one pandemic change that Californians are sure to toast: The to-go cocktail. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Thursday that the state will continue allowing restaurants to sell takeout alcohol and keep expanded outdoor dining through the end of the year. Restaurants turned to takeout and outdoor dining during the past year as coronavirus restrictions severely limited indoor service. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm very excited about this and I think this is a good thing for our economic recovery. It's also a good thing for our public health because what occurs is more people will still be outside,\" Newsom said during a news conference outside Tommy's Mexican Restaurant in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The extensions come as California plans to lift most business restrictions and social distancing rules on June 15, allowing restaurants to resume indoor service at full capacity. Even so, maintaining outdoor dining could help the state control virus spread, Newsom said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control relaxed regulations in March 2020 to let restaurants sell alcohol to go, right around the time Newsom imposed the nation's first statewide stay-at-home order, shuttering restaurants for in-person dining. Since then, restaurants have been allowed to sell pre-packaged alcohol like bottles of beer and wine as well as pre-mixed cocktails ordered with food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May, as the state began allowing outdoor service to resume, the department made it easier for restaurants to expand outdoor dining by offering temporary catering authorizations. That allowed restaurants to continue to sell alcohol in off-premises locations like sidewalks and adjacent parking lots where many set up tables. The department has issued more than 10,000 of those licenses, said Newsom spokeswoman Amelia Matier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local governments also play a big role in determining how restaurants operate outdoor dining, and Newsom sent officials a letter Thursday urging them to continue allowing outdoor dining in places such as sidewalks and parking lots that aren't zoned for eating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/GuyMarzorati/status/1400538382007103490?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, \"parklets\" that expand open-air dining onto streets and roadways have popped up all over the city. Mayor London Breed, who joined Newsom, called outdoor dining \"the one bright light we had\" during the pandemic. She's now fighting with the city's board of supervisors over a permanent expansion of such outdoor services. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's bringing life to the city like never before,\" she said. \"As far as I'm concerned, they're here to stay.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers could permanently extend the allowance of to-go cocktails through a bill by state Sen. Bill Dodd, a Napa Democrat. He said his proposal would boost income for struggling restaurants and give customers greater choice. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom, who owns wineries and restaurants, praised the industry for its resilience and innovation during the pandemic.

Gavin Newsom announced Thursday that the state will continue allowing restaurants to sell takeout alcohol and keep expanded outdoor dining through the end of the year. Restaurants turned to takeout and outdoor dining during the past year as coronavirus restrictions severely limited indoor service. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm very excited about this and I think this is a good thing for our economic recovery. It's also a good thing for our public health because what occurs is more people will still be outside,\" Newsom said during a news conference outside Tommy's Mexican Restaurant in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The extensions come as California plans to lift most business restrictions and social distancing rules on June 15, allowing restaurants to resume indoor service at full capacity. Even so, maintaining outdoor dining could help the state control virus spread, Newsom said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control relaxed regulations in March 2020 to let restaurants sell alcohol to go, right around the time Newsom imposed the nation's first statewide stay-at-home order, shuttering restaurants for in-person dining. Since then, restaurants have been allowed to sell pre-packaged alcohol like bottles of beer and wine as well as pre-mixed cocktails ordered with food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That allowed restaurants to continue to sell alcohol in off-premises locations like sidewalks and adjacent parking lots where many set up tables. The department has issued more than 10,000 of those licenses, said Newsom spokeswoman Amelia Matier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local governments also play a big role in determining how restaurants operate outdoor dining, and Newsom sent officials a letter Thursday urging them to continue allowing outdoor dining in places such as sidewalks and parking lots that aren't zoned for eating.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Support for the recall of Gov. Gavin Newsom has stagnated over the last few months, with a clear majority of voters still saying they oppose removing the first-term governor from office, a new poll shows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the survey from the \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/publication/ppic-statewide-survey-californians-and-their-government-may-2021/\">Public Policy Institute of California\u003c/a>, about 40% of likely voters think Newsom should be recalled, a rate that hasn’t budged since March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poll also found 57% of likely voters say they will reject the recall effort on the ballot this fall, and vote to keep Newsom in office. Just 3% of voters say they are undecided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PPIC President and CEO Mark Baldassare, who ran the survey, said views on the recall are largely split along party lines, “with most Democrats saying that they want to keep him, most Republicans saying that they want to have him removed, and independents are divided.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, Baldassare noted, since there are far more registered Democrats than Republicans in California, recall proponents have a lot of ground to make up if they want to be successful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regionally, support for the recall is highest in the conservative Inland Empire counties of Riverside and San Bernardino (56%) and lowest in the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles regions (both at 32%).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"recall\"]Driven in large part by criticism over Newsom’s handling of the pandemic, the recall effort gathered steam over the winter amid surging coronavirus cases and ongoing restrictions. In late April, the campaign officially gathered \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11870959/newsom-recall-campaign-officially-has-enough-valid-signatures-to-force-election\">enough valid signatures\u003c/a> to force an election later this year, likely in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It will mark just the second time in state history that voters will decide if a sitting governor should be booted out of office before a regularly scheduled election. The first recall happened in 2003, when Gov. Gray Davis was replaced by Arnold Schwarzenegger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The PPIC poll found that California’s markedly improving coronavirus rates, and increasing number of vaccinations — a dramatic turnaround from earlier this year — are likely working in Newsom’s favor. Overall, 55% of Californians say they approve of his overall performance as governor, while 64% specifically approve of his handling of the pandemic. And a full 75% of Californians think the state is doing an excellent or good job of distributing COVID-19 vaccines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is increasing optimism that the worst is over with the COVID crisis,” Baldassare said, noting that more than 8 in 10 Californians believe the worst of the pandemic is behind them. There are, he added, “increasingly positive ratings of the state’s handling of the vaccine and increasingly positive perceptions about the future of the national economy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite that rosy outlook, the poll confirmed that distribution of the vaccine remains uneven, with just 56% of Black people and 60% of Latinos saying they had received at least one dose, as compared to 72% of whites and 80% of Asian Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s an area that needs more work in our state, because we’re not seeing the kind of equal distribution that we need to,” Baldassare said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A majority of voters surveyed also expressed concern about California’s widening income gap, the poll found, with solid majorities of Republicans, Democrats and independent/no party preference voters saying the divide between rich and poor is growing wider. A larger percentage of Democrats, however, say the state should do more to address the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PPIC polled 1,705 California adult residents in English and Spanish by phone between May 9 and May 18. The poll has a margin of error of +/-3.2%.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Gavin Newsom has stagnated over the last few months, with a clear majority of voters still saying they oppose removing the first-term governor from office, a new poll shows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the survey from the \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/publication/ppic-statewide-survey-californians-and-their-government-may-2021/\">Public Policy Institute of California\u003c/a>, about 40% of likely voters think Newsom should be recalled, a rate that hasn’t budged since March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poll also found 57% of likely voters say they will reject the recall effort on the ballot this fall, and vote to keep Newsom in office. Just 3% of voters say they are undecided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PPIC President and CEO Mark Baldassare, who ran the survey, said views on the recall are largely split along party lines, “with most Democrats saying that they want to keep him, most Republicans saying that they want to have him removed, and independents are divided.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, Baldassare noted, since there are far more registered Democrats than Republicans in California, recall proponents have a lot of ground to make up if they want to be successful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In late April, the campaign officially gathered \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11870959/newsom-recall-campaign-officially-has-enough-valid-signatures-to-force-election\">enough valid signatures\u003c/a> to force an election later this year, likely in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It will mark just the second time in state history that voters will decide if a sitting governor should be booted out of office before a regularly scheduled election. The first recall happened in 2003, when Gov. Gray Davis was replaced by Arnold Schwarzenegger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The PPIC poll found that California’s markedly improving coronavirus rates, and increasing number of vaccinations — a dramatic turnaround from earlier this year — are likely working in Newsom’s favor. Overall, 55% of Californians say they approve of his overall performance as governor, while 64% specifically approve of his handling of the pandemic. And a full 75% of Californians think the state is doing an excellent or good job of distributing COVID-19 vaccines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is increasing optimism that the worst is over with the COVID crisis,” Baldassare said, noting that more than 8 in 10 Californians believe the worst of the pandemic is behind them. There are, he added, “increasingly positive ratings of the state’s handling of the vaccine and increasingly positive perceptions about the future of the national economy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite that rosy outlook, the poll confirmed that distribution of the vaccine remains uneven, with just 56% of Black people and 60% of Latinos saying they had received at least one dose, as compared to 72% of whites and 80% of Asian Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s an area that needs more work in our state, because we’re not seeing the kind of equal distribution that we need to,” Baldassare said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A majority of voters surveyed also expressed concern about California’s widening income gap, the poll found, with solid majorities of Republicans, Democrats and independent/no party preference voters saying the divide between rich and poor is growing wider. A larger percentage of Democrats, however, say the state should do more to address the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PPIC polled 1,705 California adult residents in English and Spanish by phone between May 9 and May 18. The poll has a margin of error of +/-3.2%.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. 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. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
