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>A crowd of more than 50 local elected officials and prison reform advocates gathered Thursday outside the main gates of San Quentin State Prison demanding Gov. Gavin Newsom immediately reduce the prison's population, which has been rocked by a devastating outbreak of COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Organized by a coalition of local social justice and prisoner rights groups, the press event featured emotional testimony from relatives of those inside the Marin County prison, as well as formerly incarcerated people and youth activists, who urged the governor to release those who pose little threat to public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/akhan1437/status/1277378429332025344\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When you create a condition when you're just packing people into your prisons, that's bad. Period,\" said state Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/j3n21MfRT9Q\">who was joined\u003c/a> by other local leaders including Assemblymembers Marc Levine, D-San Rafael, and Rob Bonta, D-Oakland. \"But it's especially bad when you have a contagion that's killing people. It's not surprising that when you have overcrowded prisons, you're going to have a problem with COVID-19.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added, \"This is a humanitarian disaster that is compounding another humanitarian disaster called mass incarceration.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Thursday, \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdcr.ca.gov/covid19/population-status-tracking/\">more than 1,600 of the some 3,500 inmates\u003c/a> at San Quentin have tested positive for the coronavirus, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11827695/pressure-mounts-for-newsom-to-release-vulnerable-incarcerated-people\">which exploded\u003c/a> inside the prison after officials transferred 121 inmates from the heavily impacted California Institution for Men in Chino on May 30 without properly testing them for infections. Until then, San Quentin had been virus-free. At least seven prisoners infected with the virus have died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/WayneFreedman/status/1281321810433175552\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom, who met Wednesday with a federal judge to discuss releases, said his goal is to reduce the number of inmates at the prison by at least 400 in the next several weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's been incredibly frustrating that we had someone make the decision to transfer a few patients from one prison — Chino — into San Quentin,\" Newsom said during his Thursday press briefing. \"And that decision created the chain of events that we are now addressing and dealing with. I'm not here to sugarcoat that. I'm not here to scapegoat that. All of us are now accountable to addressing this issue and doing so in a forthright manner, and that's precisely what we're doing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, KQED's Tara Siler spoke to U.S. Rep. Jared Huffman, D-North Bay,\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>about the unfolding crisis at the prison located in his district. Below are some highlights from their conversation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED\u003c/strong>: How would you grade the state's response to the situation at San Quentin?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Rep. Jared Huffman\"]'How did this system allow something so profoundly stupid in the middle of this deadly pandemic to actually happen?'[/pullquote]\u003cstrong>JH\u003c/strong>: The initial response obviously gets an F. I mean, there never should have been a transfer of those inmates from Chino without a test immediately preceding that transfer, and they were slow to step-up and address the mess that they created. More recently, though, and especially since my state legislative colleagues Marc Levine and Mike McGuire have gotten involved and Cal OES (Office of Emergency Services) has opened an incident command on site, I give them high marks. The problem is, by that time, we were trying to undo a terrible tragedy that had been inflicted on San Quentin and the broader Bay Area community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED\u003c/strong>: And who do you think is responsible for this crisis?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JH\u003c/strong>: You know, I can't say exactly who, but obviously the prison health care officials who allowed this transfer to happen. There may be some other accountability within the system. You know that I think there needs to be a very comprehensive look at that. How did this system allow something so profoundly stupid in the middle of this deadly pandemic to actually happen?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED\u003c/strong>: Is that something the federal government should or would look at in terms of a review of, you know, how this unfolded?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JH\u003c/strong>: Certainly, if this were a federal prison, the answer would be yes. Since San Quentin is entirely a state facility with state authorities, my guess is that that's probably the primary point of accountability. There's a federal receiver, of course, because of litigation. But that does not bring any federal agencies into play. That's simply a federal court who has ordered this receiver due to some longstanding litigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED\u003c/strong>: You know, academics, public health experts, advocates and some elected officials have been calling for the state to drastically reduce the number of people incarcerated there, through early release, probation, parole and such. Do you agree that that needs to happen?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JH\u003c/strong>: I think their hand is being forced. You know, whether that needs to happen or not, it's going to happen. There's no other way to address the crisis. So, I think they're approaching it in a sensible way. At San Quentin and other facilities, they're looking at inmates who pose the least threat of some kind of violent crime, recidivism, are near the end of their sentences, are older, might be eligible for humanitarian release. And, you know, we can we can reduce the population pretty significantly using those factors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"more san quentin coverage\" tag=\"san-quentin\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED\u003c/strong>: I guess what I was getting at is that, you know, the governor is doing some reductions of the population there, wants to get it down to below 100% capacity. But, you know, the advocates and these folks that are calling for more drastic, you know, more aggressive action, I guess. Do you think it needs to be more aggressive than what the governor is doing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JH\u003c/strong>: I'm not ready to second guess the governor in this regard. These are very tough decisions. I mean, it's a balancing in every respect. And it's not as simple as just terminating sentences, especially in situations where people may be going to communities that aren't ready to receive them. We may not have the programs and the capacity to do a good job helping them re-enter society. So, in the middle of a pandemic, that becomes even more complicated. I'm just not ready to second guess the governor, I think, on that point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED\u003c/strong>: What are you hearing from your constituents about this crisis? I mean, have they been reaching out to your office at all?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JH\u003c/strong>: Oh, yeah. I mean, when the numbers started to become known, there was an immediate sense of alarm, especially in Marin County, because, you know, our numbers are going up even without San Quentin. We have the highest per capita coronavirus spread in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so to think about this encroaching on our hospital capacity, our ICU capacity, our ambulance capacity, and there was a lot of alarm and it looked like it was on track to do that. So I'm very grateful that Cal OES. and others have really taken a bold response in the last few days to make sure that that doesn't happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED\u003c/strong>: Following up on that. Marin has made a concerted effort to distance itself from the case numbers in the prison. Do you think what's happening inside San Quentin should be considered a county issue or county problem?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JH:\u003c/strong> It's a state problem. There's no doubt about it. I mean, Marin public health authorities have limited ability to either prevent or to resolve a crisis like this is taking place inside a prison like San Quentin. So, you know, I think they've been working closely together. I know that our Marin County public health director has been onsite at San Quentin, like, almost every day for the last week or more. And that's appropriate. But no, this really needs to be a state issue resolved by state authorities. And you can't put the whole burden of a fix on this on Marin County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED\u003c/strong>: Given this crisis at San Quentin and big outbreaks in other prisons as well, do you think this could galvanize major prison reform throughout the state?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JH\u003c/strong>: I think prison reform had a lot of momentum even before this. So I know at the federal level we've been tackling sentencing and other aspects of prison reform. The Black Lives Matter movement, I think, has helped create even more energy behind some of the systemic inequities in our system, including criminal justice. So there's a strong interest in doing more on criminal justice reform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED\u003c/strong>: But do you think that this crisis at San Quentin and the other prisons, particularly, could aid that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JH\u003c/strong>: Well, potentially, in the sense that it may force us to accelerate consideration of some of these early release alternatives that are probably going to be forced on us anyway as one of the only ways to deal with the pandemic within these facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This report contains additional reporting from The Associated Press\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JH\u003c/strong>: The initial response obviously gets an F. I mean, there never should have been a transfer of those inmates from Chino without a test immediately preceding that transfer, and they were slow to step-up and address the mess that they created. More recently, though, and especially since my state legislative colleagues Marc Levine and Mike McGuire have gotten involved and Cal OES (Office of Emergency Services) has opened an incident command on site, I give them high marks. The problem is, by that time, we were trying to undo a terrible tragedy that had been inflicted on San Quentin and the broader Bay Area community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED\u003c/strong>: And who do you think is responsible for this crisis?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JH\u003c/strong>: You know, I can't say exactly who, but obviously the prison health care officials who allowed this transfer to happen. There may be some other accountability within the system. You know that I think there needs to be a very comprehensive look at that. How did this system allow something so profoundly stupid in the middle of this deadly pandemic to actually happen?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED\u003c/strong>: Is that something the federal government should or would look at in terms of a review of, you know, how this unfolded?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JH\u003c/strong>: Certainly, if this were a federal prison, the answer would be yes. Since San Quentin is entirely a state facility with state authorities, my guess is that that's probably the primary point of accountability. There's a federal receiver, of course, because of litigation. But that does not bring any federal agencies into play. That's simply a federal court who has ordered this receiver due to some longstanding litigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED\u003c/strong>: You know, academics, public health experts, advocates and some elected officials have been calling for the state to drastically reduce the number of people incarcerated there, through early release, probation, parole and such. Do you agree that that needs to happen?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JH\u003c/strong>: I think their hand is being forced. You know, whether that needs to happen or not, it's going to happen. There's no other way to address the crisis. So, I think they're approaching it in a sensible way. At San Quentin and other facilities, they're looking at inmates who pose the least threat of some kind of violent crime, recidivism, are near the end of their sentences, are older, might be eligible for humanitarian release. And, you know, we can we can reduce the population pretty significantly using those factors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But, you know, the advocates and these folks that are calling for more drastic, you know, more aggressive action, I guess. Do you think it needs to be more aggressive than what the governor is doing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JH\u003c/strong>: I'm not ready to second guess the governor in this regard. These are very tough decisions. I mean, it's a balancing in every respect. And it's not as simple as just terminating sentences, especially in situations where people may be going to communities that aren't ready to receive them. We may not have the programs and the capacity to do a good job helping them re-enter society. So, in the middle of a pandemic, that becomes even more complicated. I'm just not ready to second guess the governor, I think, on that point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED\u003c/strong>: What are you hearing from your constituents about this crisis? I mean, have they been reaching out to your office at all?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JH\u003c/strong>: Oh, yeah. I mean, when the numbers started to become known, there was an immediate sense of alarm, especially in Marin County, because, you know, our numbers are going up even without San Quentin. We have the highest per capita coronavirus spread in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so to think about this encroaching on our hospital capacity, our ICU capacity, our ambulance capacity, and there was a lot of alarm and it looked like it was on track to do that. So I'm very grateful that Cal OES. and others have really taken a bold response in the last few days to make sure that that doesn't happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED\u003c/strong>: Following up on that. Marin has made a concerted effort to distance itself from the case numbers in the prison. Do you think what's happening inside San Quentin should be considered a county issue or county problem?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JH:\u003c/strong> It's a state problem. There's no doubt about it. I mean, Marin public health authorities have limited ability to either prevent or to resolve a crisis like this is taking place inside a prison like San Quentin. So, you know, I think they've been working closely together. I know that our Marin County public health director has been onsite at San Quentin, like, almost every day for the last week or more. And that's appropriate. But no, this really needs to be a state issue resolved by state authorities. And you can't put the whole burden of a fix on this on Marin County.\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 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. The Assembly’s version, AB 2345, focuses more on boosting low-income housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11718377\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/GettyImages-973691890-e1547589744990.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11718377 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/GettyImages-973691890-e1547589744990.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/GettyImages-973691890-e1547589744990.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/GettyImages-973691890-e1547589744990-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/GettyImages-973691890-e1547589744990-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/GettyImages-973691890-e1547589744990-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/GettyImages-973691890-e1547589744990-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A view of homes and apartments on June 13, 2018 in San Francisco, California.

Tenants would then be allowed to pay back missed rent over 15 months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A separate proposal by Assemblyman Phil Ting, AB 828, would freeze evictions and foreclosures during the state of emergency and for 15 days after.

Agencies typically must apply separately to one of 30 programs split between six different state agencies, each with its own application process and funding timelines. AB 3300 would streamline that process by creating one application and allowing applicants to receive ongoing funding, so they don’t have to apply for the same money year after year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would be quite significant,” said Pedro Galvao of the Nonprofit Housing Association of Northern California, “and could be really impactful, if adopted.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

AB 3300 would streamline that process by creating one application and allowing applicants to receive ongoing funding, so they don’t have to apply for the same money year after year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would be quite significant,” said Pedro Galvao of the Nonprofit Housing Association of Northern California, “and could be really impactful, if adopted.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
