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.",

That would be a big concern for our members.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The current family leave plan is paid for entirely by workers, through the payroll tax. Labor unions want to see employers pay into the plan as well, said Steve Smith, spokesman for the California Labor Federation.

He said a plan to pay for family leave may become part of a broader tax reform proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new governor’s staffing choices so far indicate that he’s serious about family leave. O’Leary has been studying paid leave systems for many years as a lawyer, an academic and a policy adviser to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.

The worker is free from the control and direction of the hirer in connection with the performance of the work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>B. The worker performs work that is outside the usual course of the hiring entity’s business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>C. The worker is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation, or business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allan Zaremberg, head of the California Chamber of Commerce, said the ruling puts the Legislature in a unique position. A state law could override the court decision and return California to the pre-Dynamex test for employee status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Legislature has never developed a law on who's an employee and who's an independent contractor,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court’s decision is especially concerning to tech companies like Uber, Lyft and Instacart, whose businesses rely heavily on a revolving army of contractors. They're among a group of tech firms partnering with the state Chamber of Commerce to \u003ca href=\"https://imindependent.co/\">lobby for legislation\u003c/a> that would loosen restrictions on who could be included as a contractor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without a new law, these companies would have to abide by the court's guidelines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber, which has long been the largest and most influential on-demand gig company in the country, has always insisted that its drivers are not employees. The San Francisco-based company argues that it’s not a taxi company, but rather a tech firm that creates a platform or marketplace to connect riders to independent drivers. In other words, it says, its employees are the people who build its technology, not the one who drive people around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's the second requirement of the Dynamex ruling that poses the biggest dilemma for big gig-focussed companies like Uber. Because the San Francisco-based firm is in the business of giving rides, and its drivers are the ones who provide them, the company would be hard-pressed, under the court's guidelines, to classify those workers as anything but employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Some companies feel like that test is going to alter their business model, and in some cases that's true,\" said Steve Smith, a spokesman for the California Labor Federation, which would like to see more workers classified as employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If that presents a hardship for some tech companies, that’s just too bad, Smith added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you build your business model based on cheating workers out of protections they deserve. then perhaps those business models shouldn't survive,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How a worker is classified determines the type of protections and benefits they're eligible to receive. Employees generally qualify for things like minimum wage guarantees, workers' compensation, unemployment insurance and other benefits. Contractors, who are considered self-employed, aren’t eligible for any of those protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To that end, Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez, D-San Diego, authored \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB5\">AB 5\u003c/a>, a bill that would require companies to follow the court's guidelines. It might not make sense for all workers to be classified as employees, she said, but gig workers still need some protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We're having these discussions. We're going to work on this,\" she said. \"But it's really important to remember that we can't just abandon this idea that workers belong in the middle class, that there is no new form of work that is just a side hustle.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another bill, \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB71\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AB 71, \u003c/a>would roll back the court's recent decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Uber and other gig companies have taken various steps in recent years to ensure that they can continue categorizing their workers as contractors. In some cases, like New York, they have set up drivers' organizations, which have less power than union organizations. Many workers\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> don’t see this as a sufficient solution.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This fight also places Gov. Gavin Newsom, who received campaign support from both labor and the tech industry, in a particularly tricky position. He contends the issue should have been resolved before it went to court, and has urged both sides to find common ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He recently said his administration is even considering the creation of a committee to address the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Because we could have been making determinations before that case ended up at the court,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Superior Court\u003c/em>, the state Supreme Court ruled that a worker can be considered a contractor only if:\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11719169/can-gavin-newsom-broker-a-deal-between-gig-workers-tech-and-unions\">The Bay: Can Newsom Broker a Deal Between Gig Workers, Tech and Unions?\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11719169/can-gavin-newsom-broker-a-deal-between-gig-workers-tech-and-unions\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/UberHailing-1920x1372.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>A. The worker is free from the control and direction of the hirer in connection with the performance of the work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>B. The worker performs work that is outside the usual course of the hiring entity’s business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>C. The worker is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation, or business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allan Zaremberg, head of the California Chamber of Commerce, said the ruling puts the Legislature in a unique position. A state law could override the court decision and return California to the pre-Dynamex test for employee status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Legislature has never developed a law on who's an employee and who's an independent contractor,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court’s decision is especially concerning to tech companies like Uber, Lyft and Instacart, whose businesses rely heavily on a revolving army of contractors. They're among a group of tech firms partnering with the state Chamber of Commerce to \u003ca href=\"https://imindependent.co/\">lobby for legislation\u003c/a> that would loosen restrictions on who could be included as a contractor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without a new law, these companies would have to abide by the court's guidelines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber, which has long been the largest and most influential on-demand gig company in the country, has always insisted that its drivers are not employees. The San Francisco-based company argues that it’s not a taxi company, but rather a tech firm that creates a platform or marketplace to connect riders to independent drivers. In other words, it says, its employees are the people who build its technology, not the one who drive people around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's the second requirement of the Dynamex ruling that poses the biggest dilemma for big gig-focussed companies like Uber. Because the San Francisco-based firm is in the business of giving rides, and its drivers are the ones who provide them, the company would be hard-pressed, under the court's guidelines, to classify those workers as anything but employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Some companies feel like that test is going to alter their business model, and in some cases that's true,\" said Steve Smith, a spokesman for the California Labor Federation, which would like to see more workers classified as employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If that presents a hardship for some tech companies, that’s just too bad, Smith added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you build your business model based on cheating workers out of protections they deserve. then perhaps those business models shouldn't survive,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Employees generally qualify for things like minimum wage guarantees, workers' compensation, unemployment insurance and other benefits. Contractors, who are considered self-employed, aren’t eligible for any of those protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To that end, Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez, D-San Diego, authored \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB5\">AB 5\u003c/a>, a bill that would require companies to follow the court's guidelines.

"content": "\u003cp>No wonder Gov. Gavin Newsom dropped those hints earlier this week about an upcoming “Marshall Plan” for affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sure, he’d made ambitious campaign promises to combat California’s housing crisis: leading the effort to build 3.5 million units over the next seven years (an unprecedented rate), jacking up state subsidies for housing reserved for lower-income Californians, and easing regulations so it would be easier to build all types of new housing. But what would he deliver?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We got the first glimpses of his plans Thursday, as Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11717355/gavin-newsom-looks-to-spend-and-save-in-first-budget-proposal\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">unveiled his first governor’s budget\u003c/a>. And yeah, it’s a big deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For those not intimately aware of the chronology of the state’s fiscal planning process (I’m jealous of you), please remember that these are just proposals. The Legislature may tweak, change, expand or kill many of these.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, they give you a good idea of Newsom’s priorities to combat what he has called “the issue when it comes to California poverty.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are the key takeaways from Newsom’s first major housing proposals.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Housing’s not taking a back seat to other priorities\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Housing advocates frequently criticized former Gov. Jerry Brown for placing the issue on the back burner while focusing on the state’s fiscal health and other priorities like climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11713988/jerry-browns-two-legacies-on-housing\">Jerry Brown’s ‘Two Legacies’ on Housing\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11713988/jerry-browns-two-legacies-on-housing\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/brown2-e1547245280683.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>No one will accuse Newsom of doing the same.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From major funding increases for affordable housing, to his threat to take away any city’s transportation dollars if it doesn’t meet its housing quota, Newsom’s plans match the audacious ambitions he outlined in the campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are not playing small ball with housing,” said Newsom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not that his plan includes everything (more on that later), but collectively Newsom’s proposals reveal that housing and homelessness will be at the forefront of his legislative agenda, and will not take a backseat to other campaign promises such as universal health care or early childhood education. At least not yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>No governor in recent memory has proposed this big a budget boost for housing and homelessness\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It takes a lot of money to build housing reserved for lower-income Californians—roughly $330,000 per unit, by one estimate. Affordable housing and homelessness advocates have been complaining for years that they are receiving nowhere near the level of financial support they need from the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s budget proposals include a major infusion of more than $1.7 billion in one-time and ongoing affordable housing cash. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That includes:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>$500 million in one-time cash for local governments to combat homelessness—of that $300 million will go towards regional planning, and $200 million as awards for cities that build new shelters or permanent supportive housing\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A quintupling of ongoing cash (from $80 million to $500 million) for the state’s most important low-income housing financing tool, the low-income housing tax credit\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>$500 million in one-time cash for “moderate-income” housing production, or the so-called “missing middle” of housing for California’s middle class; Newsom said he has also urged Silicon Valley firms to match this funding\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>$25 million to get more homeless Californians on federal disability programs\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>“I have never seen this kind of attention paid in the budget to homelessness and affordable housing issues,” said Anya Lawler, a housing policy advocate for the Western Center on Law and Poverty. “Just the page count alone is a little unprecedented.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom also said he would appoint a new homelessness czar in the next few days to help coordinate state, regional and local initiatives. Included in the budget is a policy tweak that would allow new homeless shelters to avoid prolonged environmental reviews—a regulatory hurdle that often holds up new housing plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Affordable housing advocates caution that they’re waiting to see details—especially how much will actually go towards the production of new housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Newsom threatened cities that aren’t building enough housing—and cities are nervous\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Cities and the NIMBY homeowners who populate them are often blamed as the biggest obstacle to producing more low-income and market-rate housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To incentivize cities to approve more projects, Newsom has proposed $500 million in awards to cities and counties that meet new, short-term housing goals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The housing quotas assigned to local governments are often laughably flawed. Beverly Hills, for example, met its state-mandate affordable housing target last year with three measly low-income units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom wants to revamp the whole housing-goal setting process. Statewide, the goals are are going to bigger than what they used to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That $500 million is the carrot, and most cities are eager to revamp the seemingly senseless way in which they’re assigned housing quotas. But along with that carrot could be a thorny stick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom proposes taking away transportation funding—including revenue generated by the recently enacted gas tax—from cities that fail to meet longer-term housing goals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cities are not happy. They say much of housing production is out of their control, and dependent on market conditions and developer proclivities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can’t set a goal that’s not achievable, and then penalize us with transportation dollars that aren’t there,” said Jason Rhine, assistant legislative director for the League of California Cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Left unmentioned: rent control, zoning reform, and that pesky ‘3.5 million units’ promise\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>One number that didn’t make its way into Newsom’s first budget: 3.5 million. That’s how many new homes he has pledged California will build under his watch—a number that most housing experts say is unrealistic. The Newsom administration did not publicly estimate how many new units his new proposals would generate—perhaps an indication that the new governor is distancing himself from the figure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also missing from the budget or the governor’s comments: any reference to rent control or stronger tenant protections, despite his earlier pledge that he would try to broker a compromise. In fairness, the budget unveiling might not be the appropriate venue to talk about that. But a source briefed on the budget said that while Newsom’s team expressed enthusiasm for legislators to take up rent control, they weren’t leading on the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom may be taking a wait-and-see approach on the most controversial piece of housing legislation he’ll encounter this year: an attempt to force cities to allow apartment buildings to be built around transit stops. San Francisco Democratic state Sen. Scott Wiener’s second attempt at “zoning reform”—which would strip cities of their ability to block denser housing in areas previously reserved for single family homes—will need Newsom’s support to actually become law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked about Wiener’s new legislation, Newsom said he hadn’t read it yet—the same response he gave to questions about last year’s bill during the campaign. But he did say he “appreciates the spirit” of the bill.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Gavin Newsom dropped those hints earlier this week about an upcoming “Marshall Plan” for affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sure, he’d made ambitious campaign promises to combat California’s housing crisis: leading the effort to build 3.5 million units over the next seven years (an unprecedented rate), jacking up state subsidies for housing reserved for lower-income Californians, and easing regulations so it would be easier to build all types of new housing. But what would he deliver?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We got the first glimpses of his plans Thursday, as Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11717355/gavin-newsom-looks-to-spend-and-save-in-first-budget-proposal\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">unveiled his first governor’s budget\u003c/a>. And yeah, it’s a big deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For those not intimately aware of the chronology of the state’s fiscal planning process (I’m jealous of you), please remember that these are just proposals. The Legislature may tweak, change, expand or kill many of these.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, they give you a good idea of Newsom’s priorities to combat what he has called “the issue when it comes to California poverty.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

At least not yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>No governor in recent memory has proposed this big a budget boost for housing and homelessness\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It takes a lot of money to build housing reserved for lower-income Californians—roughly $330,000 per unit, by one estimate. Affordable housing and homelessness advocates have been complaining for years that they are receiving nowhere near the level of financial support they need from the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s budget proposals include a major infusion of more than $1.7 billion in one-time and ongoing affordable housing cash. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That includes:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>$500 million in one-time cash for local governments to combat homelessness—of that $300 million will go towards regional planning, and $200 million as awards for cities that build new shelters or permanent supportive housing\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A quintupling of ongoing cash (from $80 million to $500 million) for the state’s most important low-income housing financing tool, the low-income housing tax credit\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>$500 million in one-time cash for “moderate-income” housing production, or the so-called “missing middle” of housing for California’s middle class; Newsom said he has also urged Silicon Valley firms to match this funding\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>$25 million to get more homeless Californians on federal disability programs\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>“I have never seen this kind of attention paid in the budget to homelessness and affordable housing issues,” said Anya Lawler, a housing policy advocate for the Western Center on Law and Poverty. “Just the page count alone is a little unprecedented.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom also said he would appoint a new homelessness czar in the next few days to help coordinate state, regional and local initiatives. Included in the budget is a policy tweak that would allow new homeless shelters to avoid prolonged environmental reviews—a regulatory hurdle that often holds up new housing plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Affordable housing advocates caution that they’re waiting to see details—especially how much will actually go towards the production of new housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Newsom threatened cities that aren’t building enough housing—and cities are nervous\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Cities and the NIMBY homeowners who populate them are often blamed as the biggest obstacle to producing more low-income and market-rate housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To incentivize cities to approve more projects, Newsom has proposed $500 million in awards to cities and counties that meet new, short-term housing goals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The housing quotas assigned to local governments are often laughably flawed. Beverly Hills, for example, met its state-mandate affordable housing target last year with three measly low-income units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom wants to revamp the whole housing-goal setting process. Statewide, the goals are are going to bigger than what they used to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That $500 million is the carrot, and most cities are eager to revamp the seemingly senseless way in which they’re assigned housing quotas. But along with that carrot could be a thorny stick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom proposes taking away transportation funding—including revenue generated by the recently enacted gas tax—from cities that fail to meet longer-term housing goals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cities are not happy. They say much of housing production is out of their control, and dependent on market conditions and developer proclivities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can’t set a goal that’s not achievable, and then penalize us with transportation dollars that aren’t there,” said Jason Rhine, assistant legislative director for the League of California Cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Left unmentioned: rent control, zoning reform, and that pesky ‘3.5 million units’ promise\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>One number that didn’t make its way into Newsom’s first budget: 3.5 million. That’s how many new homes he has pledged California will build under his watch—a number that most housing experts say is unrealistic. The Newsom administration did not publicly estimate how many new units his new proposals would generate—perhaps an indication that the new governor is distancing himself from the figure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also missing from the budget or the governor’s comments: any reference to rent control or stronger tenant protections, despite his earlier pledge that he would try to broker a compromise. In fairness, the budget unveiling might not be the appropriate venue to talk about that. But a source briefed on the budget said that while Newsom’s team expressed enthusiasm for legislators to take up rent control, they weren’t leading on the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom may be taking a wait-and-see approach on the most controversial piece of housing legislation he’ll encounter this year: an attempt to force cities to allow apartment buildings to be built around transit stops. San Francisco Democratic state Sen. Scott Wiener’s second attempt at “zoning reform”—which would strip cities of their ability to block denser housing in areas previously reserved for single family homes—will need Newsom’s support to actually become law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Both sides remain firmly apart, with congressional Democrats led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer refusing to authorize funds for a wall in exchange for reopening the government. The president is now considering declaring a national emergency to bypass Congress and get the barrier built.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also this week, newly sworn-in California Gov. Gavin Newsom released a record budget totaling $209 billion. Some of the funds would be spent to double the size of the earned income tax credit for working families and expand health care coverage to young undocumented adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Guests:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Joe Garofoli, San Francisco Chronicle Senior Political Writer\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Scott Shafer, KQED Senior Editor of Politics and Government\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Sean Walsh, Wilson Walsh Consulting\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>California’s Record Budget\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>While Gov. Newsom inherits a surplus of more than $21 billion, he still needs the approval of the state Legislature to fund costly proposals such as expanding early childhood education. We get reaction to the governor’s budget wish list from Assemblyman Phil Ting (D-SF), who chairs the budget committee in the state Assembly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“Last Boat Out of Shanghai”\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>In 1949, Mao Zedong’s Red Army marched into Shanghai, China’s largest and most cosmopolitan city at the time, sparking a mass exodus of refugees fleeing Communist rule. Bay Area journalist, author and LGBTQ activist Helen Zia shares with us the tale of this remarkable diaspora in her new book, “Last Boat Out of Shanghai.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Saving for a rainy day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, funneling billions into programs aimed at closing the state's income inequality gap through an earned income tax credit, universal preschool, increased school funding and shelters for the homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom unveiled his first budget Thursday, seeking to strike a balance between his predecessor's circumspect approach and the bold vision he promised on the campaign trail with the more than $21 billion surplus his administration is projecting. He spent nearly two hours detailing the $209 billion spending plan to a room packed with reporters, politicians and staffers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The message we are advancing here is discipline,\" Newsom said, \"building a strong foundation on which everything else can be built.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So while Newsom will put $13.6 billion toward eliminating debt, building the state's so-called rainy day fund and paying down unfunded pension liabilities, he also wants to expand the earned income tax credit for working families; start building a universal preschool system; increase overall education spending; and make two years of community college free.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a nod to the recent wildfires that have decimated California communities, Newsom also is proposing hundreds of millions in new spending on emergency response and preparedness, including new technology for Cal Fire and $60 million to start upgrading the state's antiquated 911 system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom seemed acutely aware of the oft-repeated recession warnings from his predecessor, Jerry Brown, insisting that he is balancing the potential for a recession while also building the foundation for the ambitious programs he aims to create as California governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are assuming continued economic expansion — I know that sends shivers up some people's spines,\" he said, adding that he knows Brown often warned that \"the next governor will be standing on a fiscal cliff. That might be true.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, he said, his administration is assuming only a 3.2 percent economic growth rate — not the 5 percent that's been assumed in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The budget — which Newsom said he crafted with input from legislative leaders — was largely met with praise from Democrats and outside interest groups. Even Republican lawmakers seemed pleasantly surprised, including Assembly Budget Committee Vice Chair Jay Obernolte, R-Hesperia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I tell you what, I was very impressed with Gov. Newsom,\" he said, calling out Newsom's focus on paying down debt. \"It was very clear that he’s been involved and engaged with the entire budget process. He was knowledgeable about budget issues. He’s clearly a smart guy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Focus on Kids\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom is making education — from birth through college — a key focus, proposing initiatives to help working families and parents who are still working to get an education, as well as unveiling a statewide version of the college savings accounts he championed as mayor of San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s K-12 budget is almost $81 million — up from $47.3 million eight years ago during the depth of the recession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to increasing per pupil spending to $16,857 next fiscal year, the governor wants to help local school districts by giving them a one-time infusion of $3 billion to help pay for mounting retirement obligations. His office said the money will help save local education agencies $6.9 billion over the next three decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he’s also focusing on preschool and higher education. Among those proposals: a one-time $750 million appropriation to help school districts improve facilities so they can offer full-day kindergarten classes; $125 million to help provide full-day, year-round state preschool to low-income 4-year-olds; and $500 million to expand subsidized child care facilities and help educate child care providers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom also is ordering his administration to create a longer-term plan for providing universal preschool in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, he's proposing adding more than $1 billion to University of California and California State University systems, a bump he said should keep tuition flat for students. Included in that money is $15 million for a one-time boost to UC extension centers that help people finish a college degree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At the UC, since 2000, 60,000 people have ... dropped out, and never got their bachelor degrees,” he said. “I want to go after them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, he is proposing a second free year of community college tuition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom is also looking to make things easier for parents — he wants to increase state higher education grants for low-income parents from around $1,600 to $6,000 a year, and is putting $50 million into a pilot program to increase access to college savings accounts. As mayor of San Francisco, he \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/TreasurerSF/status/1083461789386301440\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">helped institute a program that seeds every kindergarten student with $50; the accounts have grown to $3.5 million in savings\u003c/a> for students over eight years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Even a small amount of money, a couple hundred dollars, increases likelihood that a child goes to college,\" Newsom said. \"When we did this in San Francisco they said it couldn't be done ... we are going to build this throughout the rest of the state.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Health Care for Middle-Class Families and Undocumented Immigrants\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s budget dedicates $158.6 billion to health and human services, with the bulk of that going to the Medi-Cal program for low-income Californians. He set aside $260 million specifically to expand Medi-Cal coverage to undocumented young adults ages 19 through 25 — undocumented children are already covered in California. Undocumented immigrants are ineligible for these benefits under the federal Affordable Care Act, so the full cost of their care is carried by the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The move is largely symbolic. Health advocates and some state lawmakers have been pushing for coverage of all undocumented adults, which carries an estimated cost of $3 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But the symbolism here is quite important,” said Larry Levitt, senior vice president for health reform at the Kaiser Family Foundation. “There could not be a starker contrast between what the governor is trying to do and the immigration debate going on nationally. So it’s an important symbolic move, but it’s not going to solve the problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor is also contradicting Congress and the White House by calling for the reinstatement of a state-level individual mandate — a requirement that all Californians carry health coverage or pay a penalty. Congress eliminated the federal penalty in its 2017 tax bill, at the president's urging.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"With all due respect to the president of the United States, he's wrong,\" Newsom said. \"I think California is right.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom plans to use the revenues raised from the fines people pay here — about $500 million — to extend financial assistance to middle-income families to help pay their monthly premiums on health plans bought through Covered California, the state’s Affordable Care Act marketplace. Right now a person who earns $50,000 a year, or 400 percent above the poverty level, gets no financial help. But under Newsom's plan, individuals who earn up to $72,000, will now get a subsidy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This “is a real recognition that [for] many Californians, in particular those that live in the Bay Area and Northern California, the arbitrary line of 400 percent of poverty and after which you get no financial help, doesn’t recognize the real struggles that many Californians have paying for health care,” said Peter Lee, executive director of Covered California. “The governor is the first person in the nation to give a concrete proposal to address the issues of real middle-class Californians that are struggling today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Health plans are currently on sale through Covered California until Jan. 15.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Transportation Funds Are Tied to Housing\u003c/strong>'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom proposed an additional $1.75 billion in funding for housing, directed toward both local governments and developers of affordable homes, as well as $500 million in one-time funds to help communities build emergency homeless shelters and navigation centers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our housing issue is a poverty issue in the state,\" he said. \"Unless we are serious about this, the state will continue to lose the middle class and the California Dream will be limited.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But perhaps more significant than any new expenditure was Newsom’s threat to withhold future transportation funds from local governments who don’t meet state housing goals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re going to give (the Department of Housing and Community Development) some more teeth,” Newsom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea would be phased in over multiple years, and Newsom proposed $750 million for grants to cities and counties to help plan for new development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is controversial, but no one should be surprised,” Newsom said, given his campaign promises to incentivize housing production.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The budget proposal delivered on another oft-cited campaign promise: the expansion of the state’s affordable housing tax credit for developers to $500 million, more than five times the current limit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another campaign promise around housing, bringing back redevelopment agencies, was scaled down in Newsom’s initial spending plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before they were ended in 2011, the agencies allowed local property tax dollars to be siphoned off from schools and public safety, and instead spent on affordable housing and infrastructure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Bringing back redevelopment, I looked at it,” Newsom said. “We’re putting more money [toward housing] now than when we killed redevelopment,” referring to new bond and tax money allocated toward affordable housing in recent years. “And we’re doing it in a way that doesn’t take money from the education system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Strengthening the Safety Net\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the campaign trail, Newsom made the state's wealth gap a big issue, and his budget includes several proposals to help close that divide. Chief among them: a more than doubling of the fund, from around $400 million to $1 billion, that pays for the tax credit working families can qualify for. That increase will mean more money for families with kids under 6, and more access for people who make up to $15 an hour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom also said he wants to increase CalWORKs grants — the state's welfare-to-work program — by 13 percent starting in October, a jump that will increase maximum monthly grants by $103 to $888.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I am sick of the scapegoating of this program and I will defend it,\" Newsom vowed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Strengthening California's Emergency System\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just two days after Newsom was elected, the state's worst fire on record broke out in Butte County, leveling almost 14,000 homes and killing 86 people. Newsom is making emergency response and prevention a cornerstone of this budget, proposing more than $400 million in new spending on firefighting, forest management, improving the 911 system and helping local governments prepare better for disasters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor is also proposing three years of assistance to communities that have been decimated by fires, to help with lost property tax revenues and with debris removal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom declined to answer questions about the state's troubled utility, Pacific Gas & Electric, noting that anything he said could impact the financial markets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I want to be cautious here — it is remarkable, every utterance of a governor on this topic has an impact on the market,\" he said, adding that he has been huddling with senior staff on the issue and plans to make an announcement on his proposals for dealing with PG&E in the next \"few\" days.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But under Newsom's plan, individuals who earn up to $72,000, will now get a subsidy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This “is a real recognition that [for] many Californians, in particular those that live in the Bay Area and Northern California, the arbitrary line of 400 percent of poverty and after which you get no financial help, doesn’t recognize the real struggles that many Californians have paying for health care,” said Peter Lee, executive director of Covered California. “The governor is the first person in the nation to give a concrete proposal to address the issues of real middle-class Californians that are struggling today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Health plans are currently on sale through Covered California until Jan. 15.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Transportation Funds Are Tied to Housing\u003c/strong>'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom proposed an additional $1.75 billion in funding for housing, directed toward both local governments and developers of affordable homes, as well as $500 million in one-time funds to help communities build emergency homeless shelters and navigation centers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our housing issue is a poverty issue in the state,\" he said. \"Unless we are serious about this, the state will continue to lose the middle class and the California Dream will be limited.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But perhaps more significant than any new expenditure was Newsom’s threat to withhold future transportation funds from local governments who don’t meet state housing goals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re going to give (the Department of Housing and Community Development) some more teeth,” Newsom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea would be phased in over multiple years, and Newsom proposed $750 million for grants to cities and counties to help plan for new development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is controversial, but no one should be surprised,” Newsom said, given his campaign promises to incentivize housing production.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The budget proposal delivered on another oft-cited campaign promise: the expansion of the state’s affordable housing tax credit for developers to $500 million, more than five times the current limit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another campaign promise around housing, bringing back redevelopment agencies, was scaled down in Newsom’s initial spending plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before they were ended in 2011, the agencies allowed local property tax dollars to be siphoned off from schools and public safety, and instead spent on affordable housing and infrastructure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Bringing back redevelopment, I looked at it,” Newsom said. “We’re putting more money [toward housing] now than when we killed redevelopment,” referring to new bond and tax money allocated toward affordable housing in recent years. “And we’re doing it in a way that doesn’t take money from the education system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Strengthening the Safety Net\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the campaign trail, Newsom made the state's wealth gap a big issue, and his budget includes several proposals to help close that divide. Chief among them: a more than doubling of the fund, from around $400 million to $1 billion, that pays for the tax credit working families can qualify for. That increase will mean more money for families with kids under 6, and more access for people who make up to $15 an hour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom also said he wants to increase CalWORKs grants — the state's welfare-to-work program — by 13 percent starting in October, a jump that will increase maximum monthly grants by $103 to $888.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I am sick of the scapegoating of this program and I will defend it,\" Newsom vowed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Strengthening California's Emergency System\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just two days after Newsom was elected, the state's worst fire on record broke out in Butte County, leveling almost 14,000 homes and killing 86 people. Newsom is making emergency response and prevention a cornerstone of this budget, proposing more than $400 million in new spending on firefighting, forest management, improving the 911 system and helping local governments prepare better for disasters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor is also proposing three years of assistance to communities that have been decimated by fires, to help with lost property tax revenues and with debris removal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom declined to answer questions about the state's troubled utility, Pacific Gas & Electric, noting that anything he said could impact the financial markets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
