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.",

"content": "\u003cp>It is easily the most familiar (and perhaps overused) shorthand for Governor Jerry Brown's philosophy of governance and politics. And yet Brown's self-described \"canoe theory\" seems to have stood the test of time, with his paddling skills put to the test this past week navigating Capitol waters thick with hundreds of pieces of legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, the paddle has been laid down, as has the signing pen, giving the public the chance to gauge whether Brown's path was straight or wildly off course.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_42437\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/10/jerrybrownlatest.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/10/jerrybrownlatest.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"jerrybrownlatest\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-full wp-image-42437\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Justin Sullivan/Getty\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The Guv's analogy -- that in politics, like in canoeing, one must paddle a little on the left and a little on the right to successfully go in a straight line -- is one he coined early in his second term as chief executive (\u003ca href=\"http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1798&dat=19790720&id=Hf8cAAAAIBAJ&sjid=U44EAAAAIBAJ&pg=4332,2567580\">writer Richard Reeves noted in 1979 that the Guv made the comment to a YMCA group\u003c/a>). The \"canoe theory\" has followed Jerry Brown through the years -- used derisively at times (as Reeves did in 1979), while in other instances cited as evidence of his finely tuned political sensibilities. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the final decisions announced late Sunday night on scores of bills, Brown's \"canoe theory\" seems especially useful. The governor finds himself in a statehouse where, more than his previous two terms, powerful political interests are pushing hard on his paddle. Very few of these groups see any value in a course other than the one they've plotted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In several cases on the 2011 bill watch, Governor Brown paddled his way left... then right... on issues that, at a macro level, don't appear all that different. One example: his decision to sign into law a ban on teens under the age of 18 from using tanning beds \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/sen/sb_0701-0750/sb_746_bill_20110906_enrolled.html\"> and his decision to allow some girls in the same age range to get vaccinations for the sexually transmitted human papillomavirus (HPV) without parental consent\u003c/a>. On one hand, the two laws suggest contradictory standards for teens to control (or not) their own lives; on the other, Brown's logic could be seen as consistent if it's believed the state must step in to help protect the health of some minors. But then that is tough to square with the bill Brown squashed \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/capitalnotes/2011/09/07/browns-veto-messages-simple-philosophical/#more-10066\">last month\u003c/a> requiring helmets for snow skiing kids -- with the governor notably saying in that veto message, \"I am concerned about the continuing and seemingly inexorable transfer of authority from parents to the state.\" \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Considerable attention has been paid to the fate of bills either loved or hated by organized labor, and rightly so. As the strongest supporter of the Capitol's majority party, the wishes of public employee unions usually carry weight. Brown clearly paddled these last few days both toward... and then away... from his union supporters. Even so, whether those were strokes of equal strength remains up for debate. The governor vetoed \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/asm/ab_0101-0150/ab_101_bill_20110920_enrolled.html\">AB 101\u003c/a>, a bill that would have allowed in-home child care workers to join the union ranks. His veto message (\u003ca href=\"http://gov.ca.gov/docs/AB_101_Veto_Message.pdf\">PDF\u003c/a>) blamed it on the state's budget woes -- a nod to the reality that state funding of child care programs is easier to cut if it's not under the umbrella of government services protected by labor's political muscle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Brown elsewhere steered towards his union allies, ostensibly in the name of good government, by signing the \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/capitalnotes/2011/09/09/good-government-or-political-power-play/\">politically explosive SB 202\u003c/a>. The bill, easily a candidate for Most Notable Late Night Bloomer in the Legislature's final hours, states that initiative measures (both those in circulation now and those forever more) can only appear on November general election ballots. In his signing message (\u003ca href=\"http://gov.ca.gov/docs/SB_0202_Signing_Message.pdf\">PDF\u003c/a>), the governor praised the bill's effort to get initiatives in front of the most voters possible, as well as the bill's two year delay of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/09-10/bill/asm/ab_0001-0050/aca_4_bill_20101013_chaptered.html\">legislative ballot measure\u003c/a> buffing up the state's budget reserve fund (Brown and others said the state can't afford that kind of cash stash right now, while one \u003ca href=\"http://blog.sfgate.com/djsaunders/2011/10/08/jerry-brown-let-the-people-decide-sometimes-too-late/\">conservative columnist called the Guv\u003c/a> to task for no longer trusting the voters to make the right call). But political watchers know that SB 202's most short-term practical effect would be the delay of a likely June 2012 initiative to limit union political spending -- a delay that would place the measure onto the November 2012 ballot, where union-friendly Democrats will turn out in large numbers to vote for President Barack Obama.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(Republicans know this too, which is why a top GOP attorney \u003ca href=\"http://twitter.com/#!/KQED_CapNotes/status/122462497113505793\">filed a proposed referendum\u003c/a> to overturn SB 202 within hours of Brown's signing of the bill.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deep divisions between the labor and business communities were seen in several of Governor Brown's final paddle strokes on Sunday night. He paddled towards big business in vetoing \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/sen/sb_0451-0500/sb_469_bill_20110902_enrolled.html\">SB 469\u003c/a>, requiring economic impact reports before big box stores can be built (\u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/sen/sb_0451-0500/sb_469_bill_20110902_enrolled.html\">PDF\u003c/a>), and in his veto (\u003ca href=\"http://gov.ca.gov/docs/SB_931_Veto_Message.pdf\">PDF\u003c/a>) of \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/sen/sb_0901-0950/sb_931_bill_20110914_enrolled.html\">SB 931\u003c/a>, which would have established new rules for companies that pay workers with \"\u003ca href=\"http://calitics.com/diary/13919/payroll-debit-cards-less-choice-lower-wages\">payroll debit cards\u003c/a>.\" Both were big blows to unions. However, Brown then paddled towards the unions with the signing of \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/asm/ab_0001-0050/ab_22_bill_20110920_enrolled.html\">AB 22\u003c/a>, which bans employers in most circumstances from running credit reports on job applicants, and by signing \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/asm/ab_0151-0200/ab_183_bill_20110919_enrolled.html\">AB 183\u003c/a>, which bans self-serve kiosks in supermarkets from being used to buy alcohol. Both were strongly opposed by the business community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More careful paddling through murky waters can be found in Brown's handling of racial politics on college campuses. He signed the much-talked about plan to give \u003ca href=\"http://www.gov.ca.gov/news.php?id=17268\">undocumented students full access to financial aid\u003c/a>, but vetoed a Democratic plan to \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/sen/sb_0151-0200/sb_185_bill_20110902_enrolled.html\">allow using race, ethnicity, or gender in admissions\u003c/a>.

And yet Brown's self-described \"canoe theory\" seems to have stood the test of time, with his paddling skills put to the test this past week navigating Capitol waters thick with hundreds of pieces of legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, the paddle has been laid down, as has the signing pen, giving the public the chance to gauge whether Brown's path was straight or wildly off course.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_42437\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/10/jerrybrownlatest.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/10/jerrybrownlatest.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"jerrybrownlatest\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-full wp-image-42437\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Justin Sullivan/Getty\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The Guv's analogy -- that in politics, like in canoeing, one must paddle a little on the left and a little on the right to successfully go in a straight line -- is one he coined early in his second term as chief executive (\u003ca href=\"http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1798&dat=19790720&id=Hf8cAAAAIBAJ&sjid=U44EAAAAIBAJ&pg=4332,2567580\">writer Richard Reeves noted in 1979 that the Guv made the comment to a YMCA group\u003c/a>). The \"canoe theory\" has followed Jerry Brown through the years -- used derisively at times (as Reeves did in 1979), while in other instances cited as evidence of his finely tuned political sensibilities. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the final decisions announced late Sunday night on scores of bills, Brown's \"canoe theory\" seems especially useful. The governor finds himself in a statehouse where, more than his previous two terms, powerful political interests are pushing hard on his paddle. Very few of these groups see any value in a course other than the one they've plotted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In several cases on the 2011 bill watch, Governor Brown paddled his way left... then right... on issues that, at a macro level, don't appear all that different. One example: his decision to sign into law a ban on teens under the age of 18 from using tanning beds \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/sen/sb_0701-0750/sb_746_bill_20110906_enrolled.html\"> and his decision to allow some girls in the same age range to get vaccinations for the sexually transmitted human papillomavirus (HPV) without parental consent\u003c/a>. On one hand, the two laws suggest contradictory standards for teens to control (or not) their own lives; on the other, Brown's logic could be seen as consistent if it's believed the state must step in to help protect the health of some minors. But then that is tough to square with the bill Brown squashed \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/capitalnotes/2011/09/07/browns-veto-messages-simple-philosophical/#more-10066\">last month\u003c/a> requiring helmets for snow skiing kids -- with the governor notably saying in that veto message, \"I am concerned about the continuing and seemingly inexorable transfer of authority from parents to the state.\" \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

As the strongest supporter of the Capitol's majority party, the wishes of public employee unions usually carry weight. Brown clearly paddled these last few days both toward... and then away... from his union supporters. Even so, whether those were strokes of equal strength remains up for debate. The governor vetoed \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/asm/ab_0101-0150/ab_101_bill_20110920_enrolled.html\">AB 101\u003c/a>, a bill that would have allowed in-home child care workers to join the union ranks. His veto message (\u003ca href=\"http://gov.ca.gov/docs/AB_101_Veto_Message.pdf\">PDF\u003c/a>) blamed it on the state's budget woes -- a nod to the reality that state funding of child care programs is easier to cut if it's not under the umbrella of government services protected by labor's political muscle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Brown elsewhere steered towards his union allies, ostensibly in the name of good government, by signing the \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/capitalnotes/2011/09/09/good-government-or-political-power-play/\">politically explosive SB 202\u003c/a>. The bill, easily a candidate for Most Notable Late Night Bloomer in the Legislature's final hours, states that initiative measures (both those in circulation now and those forever more) can only appear on November general election ballots. In his signing message (\u003ca href=\"http://gov.ca.gov/docs/SB_0202_Signing_Message.pdf\">PDF\u003c/a>), the governor praised the bill's effort to get initiatives in front of the most voters possible, as well as the bill's two year delay of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/09-10/bill/asm/ab_0001-0050/aca_4_bill_20101013_chaptered.html\">legislative ballot measure\u003c/a> buffing up the state's budget reserve fund (Brown and others said the state can't afford that kind of cash stash right now, while one \u003ca href=\"http://blog.sfgate.com/djsaunders/2011/10/08/jerry-brown-let-the-people-decide-sometimes-too-late/\">conservative columnist called the Guv\u003c/a> to task for no longer trusting the voters to make the right call). But political watchers know that SB 202's most short-term practical effect would be the delay of a likely June 2012 initiative to limit union political spending -- a delay that would place the measure onto the November 2012 ballot, where union-friendly Democrats will turn out in large numbers to vote for President Barack Obama.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(Republicans know this too, which is why a top GOP attorney \u003ca href=\"http://twitter.com/#!/KQED_CapNotes/status/122462497113505793\">filed a proposed referendum\u003c/a> to overturn SB 202 within hours of Brown's signing of the bill.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deep divisions between the labor and business communities were seen in several of Governor Brown's final paddle strokes on Sunday night. He paddled towards big business in vetoing \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/sen/sb_0451-0500/sb_469_bill_20110902_enrolled.html\">SB 469\u003c/a>, requiring economic impact reports before big box stores can be built (\u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/sen/sb_0451-0500/sb_469_bill_20110902_enrolled.html\">PDF\u003c/a>), and in his veto (\u003ca href=\"http://gov.ca.gov/docs/SB_931_Veto_Message.pdf\">PDF\u003c/a>) of \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/sen/sb_0901-0950/sb_931_bill_20110914_enrolled.html\">SB 931\u003c/a>, which would have established new rules for companies that pay workers with \"\u003ca href=\"http://calitics.com/diary/13919/payroll-debit-cards-less-choice-lower-wages\">payroll debit cards\u003c/a>.\" Both were big blows to unions. However, Brown then paddled towards the unions with the signing of \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/asm/ab_0001-0050/ab_22_bill_20110920_enrolled.html\">AB 22\u003c/a>, which bans employers in most circumstances from running credit reports on job applicants, and by signing \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/asm/ab_0151-0200/ab_183_bill_20110919_enrolled.html\">AB 183\u003c/a>, which bans self-serve kiosks in supermarkets from being used to buy alcohol. Both were strongly opposed by the business community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More careful paddling through murky waters can be found in Brown's handling of racial politics on college campuses. He signed the much-talked about plan to give \u003ca href=\"http://www.gov.ca.gov/news.php?id=17268\">undocumented students full access to financial aid\u003c/a>, but vetoed a Democratic plan to \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/sen/sb_0151-0200/sb_185_bill_20110902_enrolled.html\">allow using race, ethnicity, or gender in admissions\u003c/a>. On the latter bill, Brown said (PDF) that he supports the idea but that the courts need to resolve the matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Illegal immigration was also in the waters Brown paddled through on two bills related to the seizure of vehicles at police checkpoints -- seizures sometimes based on the fact that the driver is unlicensed, which often means an undocumented immigrant.

The first was if no new revenue comes in and if the fiscal reforms that Mayor Chuck Reed has proposed don’t get enacted.

I think it’s because the outlook is grim, but also because they want support for these fiscal reforms, including the reduction of pension costs, the main expense that is driving these deficits. And they want to go to the ballot box probably not in June but maybe November 2012, to get a city charter change so that they can reduce pension benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>If they get these pension reforms, the draconian cuts need not take place? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There probably will still be cuts in the short term because some of these cost savings won’t be realized until later on, but it won’t be as dramatic as portrayed in scenario 1.

That will be the difficult part. The ballot measure will allow the city to impose reductions in benefits if it can’t be negotiated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city cut benefits and salaries of city employees by 10% last year, to help close the deficit in the current budget. But the Police Officers Association has filed a complaint. They want the cut to be for just one year; the city wants the cuts to be ongoing. That’s in arbitration right now, and it could be devastating to the budget if the arbitrator comes back and says the city can’t impose it again next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How does the public feel about pension reform?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The public is supportive of pension reform.

For example, one inspector reportedly gave at least one person seven days to fix a code violation that required a city-issued permit, even though it takes 14 days to process. A homeowner was fined more than $18,000 for blight and debris that turned out to be children's toys in the yard. And the report says the computer system used to track records is almost 30 years old. According to the city, the system is unable to track appeals and cannot provide information on them. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Grand Jury report cited “an atmosphere of hostility and intimidation\" in the department's dealings with owners.\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuesday night, the city council discussed the report for the first time.

Cohen recently resigned from his position but is still in charge until Oct 28. Cohen cited an \"adversarial relationship that's been created\" between neighbors anonymously reporting each other for code violations, with city building inspectors get stuck in the middle. Cohen said he wanted to get back to enforcing health and safety violations only, not overseeing peeling paint and overgrown yards.

For example, one inspector reportedly gave at least one person seven days to fix a code violation that required a city-issued permit, even though it takes 14 days to process. A homeowner was fined more than $18,000 for blight and debris that turned out to be children's toys in the yard. And the report says the computer system used to track records is almost 30 years old. According to the city, the system is unable to track appeals and cannot provide information on them. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Grand Jury report cited “an atmosphere of hostility and intimidation\" in the department's dealings with owners.\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuesday night, the city council discussed the report for the first time. Councilman Ignacio de la Fuente called for an independent investigation into the department; Councilwoman Libby Schaaf publicly apologized to her constituents; and Councilwoman Rebecca Kaplan said, \"I believe that our system is completely broken and that we have not sufficiently publicly acknowledged the magnitude of the problem.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
