Kelly grew up in a renovated barn in Virginia and is constantly trying to bring a little bit of her rural upbringing to her now-urban life. By day, she catches the N-Judah out the front door. By weekend, she tends bees and grows vegetables in the backyard.",

I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

The question, though, is how much more rosy; after all, $3.7 billion is a big gap and the automatic cuts begin to kick in even after just $1 billion in missed projections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Governor Brown and others, most notably Treasurer Bill Lockyer, lauded the 'trigger cuts' provision as a way to help convince investors in California debt offerings that the budget was credible. In a June letter to Brown and legislative leaders (\u003ca href=\"http://www.treasurer.ca.gov/news/releases/2011/20110628.pdf\">PDF\u003c/a>) Lockyer called the trigger mechanism \"a strong contingency plan in the event of revenue shortfalls.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Few who have followed the monthly revenue reports of the state are surprised that the budget's plan is coming up short. Today's sober assessment from the LAO will also reignite debate over how the budget deal finally came together in those last few days of June. After all, it was the quick -- and relatively unexplained -- pronouncement of additional $4 billion in revenue that brought Brown and Democratic leaders in the Legislature to shake hands on a deal, just days after the governor vetoed the first budget sent to his desk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That $4 billion was never fully placed into context; in other words, it wasn't allocated using the traditional process of revenue estimates and predictions. As such, it's remained a lingering sore point with some budget watchers -- a \u003ca href=\"http://www.ocregister.com/opinion/budget-306352-brown-state.html\">hard-to-justify bump in revenues\u003c/a> that ended a tense standoff between the Democratic governor and Democratic legislators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And things aren't likely to get better soon. \"The latest evidence,\" writes the LAO, \"suggests that the state and national economies continue a slow, arduous recovery from this staggering economic drop-off.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Update\u003c/em> Reaction is already coming in from those who would be impacted by the trigger cuts. From Karen Keeslar, executive director of the California Association of Public Authorities, which helps those on IHSS: \"Approximately 250,000 seniors and people with disabilities are expected to be hit with the full 20% cut to service hours.\" Keeslar's email says that the average IHSS consumer now receives approximately 86 hours of care a month and those impacted by the budget trigger would lose approximately 23 hours of monthly care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Update 2\u003c/em>: Assembly Speaker John Perez takes cautious approach to LAO forecast, issuing a statement calling it \"indicative, but not determinative\" of trigger cuts... Assembly Budget Chairman Bob Blumenfield (D-San Fernando Valley) says the LAO revenue projection \"validates the need to raise revenues to finish what we started\"... Assemblymember Jim Nielsen (R-Gerber) says it's proof more cuts are needed; \"Government has changed very little in how it conducts its business in the last three years,\" says his statement... Senator Ellen Corbett (D-San Leandro) says the trigger cuts need to be rethought. \"The Legislature and governor should explore all of our available options,\" she said in a written statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Update 3\u003c/em>: In his press conference with reporters, Legislative Analyst Mac Taylor said the projection of a pulled budget trigger reflects a June budget revenue forecast that lawmakers \"knew was risky.\" He also pointed out that the only sure bet now is that the full $2.5 billion trigger won't be pulled; that's because the only forecast that counts between his LAO projection and one soon to come from the Department of Finance is the one that's higher -- thus, even if the DOF data is worse, the trigger would be limited to about $2 billion in cuts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meantime, more reaction... Senate GOP leader Bob Dutton: \"the Democrats' 'Hope without Change' budget was built on false assumptions and gimmicks. It's unfortunate that our prediction in July that there would be a $13 billion shortfall was right on target\"... Dean Vogel, president of the California Teachers Association: \"It's time to put a fair and equitable tax system in place so that our students and the most vulnerable Californians don’t have to continue to do without.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the most important reaction, at least in terms of what happens next, comes from Governor Brown's budget director, Ana Matasantos. She's the one who releases the administration's economic forecast on December 15 and would then pull the budget cut trigger. \"The budget the governor signed recognized that economic uncertainty could force the trigger cuts to take effect,\" said Matasantos in a written statement. \"Some level of trigger cuts will likely occur, but the exact amount will be known in December.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

As such, it's remained a lingering sore point with some budget watchers -- a \u003ca href=\"http://www.ocregister.com/opinion/budget-306352-brown-state.html\">hard-to-justify bump in revenues\u003c/a> that ended a tense standoff between the Democratic governor and Democratic legislators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And things aren't likely to get better soon. \"The latest evidence,\" writes the LAO, \"suggests that the state and national economies continue a slow, arduous recovery from this staggering economic drop-off.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Update\u003c/em> Reaction is already coming in from those who would be impacted by the trigger cuts. From Karen Keeslar, executive director of the California Association of Public Authorities, which helps those on IHSS: \"Approximately 250,000 seniors and people with disabilities are expected to be hit with the full 20% cut to service hours.\" Keeslar's email says that the average IHSS consumer now receives approximately 86 hours of care a month and those impacted by the budget trigger would lose approximately 23 hours of monthly care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Update 2\u003c/em>: Assembly Speaker John Perez takes cautious approach to LAO forecast, issuing a statement calling it \"indicative, but not determinative\" of trigger cuts... Assembly Budget Chairman Bob Blumenfield (D-San Fernando Valley) says the LAO revenue projection \"validates the need to raise revenues to finish what we started\"... Assemblymember Jim Nielsen (R-Gerber) says it's proof more cuts are needed; \"Government has changed very little in how it conducts its business in the last three years,\" says his statement... Senator Ellen Corbett (D-San Leandro) says the trigger cuts need to be rethought. \"The Legislature and governor should explore all of our available options,\" she said in a written statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Update 3\u003c/em>: In his press conference with reporters, Legislative Analyst Mac Taylor said the projection of a pulled budget trigger reflects a June budget revenue forecast that lawmakers \"knew was risky.\" He also pointed out that the only sure bet now is that the full $2.5 billion trigger won't be pulled; that's because the only forecast that counts between his LAO projection and one soon to come from the Department of Finance is the one that's higher -- thus, even if the DOF data is worse, the trigger would be limited to about $2 billion in cuts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meantime, more reaction... Senate GOP leader Bob Dutton: \"the Democrats' 'Hope without Change' budget was built on false assumptions and gimmicks. It's unfortunate that our prediction in July that there would be a $13 billion shortfall was right on target\"... Dean Vogel, president of the California Teachers Association: \"It's time to put a fair and equitable tax system in place so that our students and the most vulnerable Californians don’t have to continue to do without.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the most important reaction, at least in terms of what happens next, comes from Governor Brown's budget director, Ana Matasantos. She's the one who releases the administration's economic forecast on December 15 and would then pull the budget cut trigger. \"The budget the governor signed recognized that economic uncertainty could force the trigger cuts to take effect,\" said Matasantos in a written statement. \"Some level of trigger cuts will likely occur, but the exact amount will be known in December.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The lawsuit asks for an emergency temporary restraining order to stop police violence against political protesters. The restraining order is urgent because another police encounter with demonstrators is imminent, after the removal of the Occupy Oakland camp early this morning.

Incumbent Ed Lee is considered the favorite, and should he or fellow candidates David Chiu, Leland Yee, Jeff Adachi, or Phil Ting emerge victorious, San Francisco will have elected its first Asian-American mayor. (Lee was appointed by the Board of Supervisors, not elected by voters, when former mayor Gavin Newsom left to become Lt. Governor.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If this were like every other previous San Francisco mayoral race, Lee might be considered a shoo-in.
