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.",

"title": "Gavin Newsom Looks to Spend and Save in First Budget Proposal",
"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>Paying down debt and pension liabilities. 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",

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.

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.

"content": "\u003cp>Gavin Newsom was sworn into office as California's 40th governor Monday, marking the beginning of his tenure with a vividly personal inaugural address that previewed his administration's focus on children and on lifting California families out of poverty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom, a liberal Democrat from San Francisco, promised to govern for all Californians — even as he also pledged to defend the California Dream against political forces outside its borders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But his speech was upstaged by the appearance of his 2-year-old son, Dutch, who toddled up onto the stage as Newsom announced his focus on early childhood care and education. Newsom rolled with the interruption — at one point picking Dutch up — but it also put into sharp focus the connection between Newsom's personal life as a father of four and his policy aspirations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/nbcbayarea/status/1082373705941032961\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a marked departure from the tenure of Jerry Brown, who rarely ventured into the personal realm when discussing policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"All kids — not just the children of a governor and filmmaker — should have a good life in California,\" Newsom said. \"They shouldn't be ripped away from their parents at the border, and nor should they be left left hungry when politicians seek to pour billions into a wall that should never be built.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Talking about childhood poverty, Newsom noted that his own single mom took in foster kids even as she worked three jobs. And he tied the challenge of governing to what he's seen on the campaign trail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have a homeless epidemic that should keep each and every one of us up at night. Too many children know the ache of chronic hunger,\" he said. \"These aren't merely policy problems — they are moral imperatives, and so long as they persist, each and every one of us is diminished.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom referenced the Trump administration and its polar-opposite policies throughout his address — but he never mentioned the president by name. Instead, he offered a full-throated defense of California's priorities and values.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So deep does the California Dream run in the history and character of our state that it can feel as enduring as our primeval forests or our majestic mountain ranges,\" Newsom told a crowd of thousands who gathered inside of a tent, as clouds hovered over the state Capitol. \"It's up to us to renew the California Dream for a new generation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a nod to the disparities that exist within California — 26 mostly rural counties voted for Newsom's Republican opponent in November — the new governor pledged to \"represent all Californians, not only those that voted for me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I recognize that many members of our rural communities feel that Sacramento doesn’t care about them — that we don't even really see them. Well, I see you. And I care about you. And I will represent you with pride,\" Newsom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assembly Republican Leader Marie Waldron, R-Escondido, said her caucus looks forward to working with the new governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our rural areas have been under-represented in Sacramento and I love the fact that he's willing to bring those issues to the forefront,\" Waldron said on KQED and Capital Public Radio's inauguration broadcast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom takes office after eight years of leadership by one of California's most experienced statesmen, Jerry Brown. He is joined in the state Capitol by a supermajority of Democratic lawmakers, and inherits a nearly $15 billion budget surplus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he tried to strike a balance in the speech between the ambitious, progressive policies he espoused on the campaign trail — universal health care, universal preschool — and the reality of budgeting in a state of nearly 40 million people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We will prepare for uncertain times ahead. We will be prudent stewards of taxpayer dollars, paying down debt, and meet our future obligations. And we will build and safeguard the largest fiscal reserve of any state in American history,\" Newsom promised, adding: \"But I want to be clear: We will be bold.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could be music to the ears of the Democratic supermajority in the Legislature, which occasionally clashed with Gov. Brown over pushes to increase state spending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you look at early childhood education, for example, Oklahoma is far ahead of California,\" said Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon on the inauguration broadcast by KQED and Capital Public Radio. \"So if we want to think about programs that we need to institute, I think that's a good place to start.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's a lot of things we've talked about as a state and haven't done, and we know that there are ways of getting the funds out there,\" Rendon added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Looking beyond the state's borders, Newsom also promised to offer an alternative to what he called the \"corruption and incompetence\" in the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our government will be progressive, principled and always on the side of the people,\" he said. \"This will take courage. That’s a word that means different things to different people. To me, courage means doing what is right even when it is hard. That will be the mission of our administration.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Newsom strove to connect his policy aspirations with the storied California Dream, citing the Gold Rush and Silicon Valley's success to argue for a more level playing field for all Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You shouldn’t have to find gold or make it in the movies or create a billion-dollar startup to live the California Dream. It is for everyone,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout the morning, Newsom's family was front and center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His oldest daughter, Montana, led the Pledge of Allegiance that kicked off the ceremony.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the state's new \"first partner,\" Jennifer Siebel Newsom, read the crowd a poem by former state poet laureate Juan Felipe Herrera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Herrera weaves together Spanish and English, reminding us of our common humanity,\" Siebel Newsom said of the poem. \"Reminding us that we are all one California family.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Instead, he offered a full-throated defense of California's priorities and values.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So deep does the California Dream run in the history and character of our state that it can feel as enduring as our primeval forests or our majestic mountain ranges,\" Newsom told a crowd of thousands who gathered inside of a tent, as clouds hovered over the state Capitol. \"It's up to us to renew the California Dream for a new generation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a nod to the disparities that exist within California — 26 mostly rural counties voted for Newsom's Republican opponent in November — the new governor pledged to \"represent all Californians, not only those that voted for me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I recognize that many members of our rural communities feel that Sacramento doesn’t care about them — that we don't even really see them. Well, I see you. And I care about you. And I will represent you with pride,\" Newsom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assembly Republican Leader Marie Waldron, R-Escondido, said her caucus looks forward to working with the new governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our rural areas have been under-represented in Sacramento and I love the fact that he's willing to bring those issues to the forefront,\" Waldron said on KQED and Capital Public Radio's inauguration broadcast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom takes office after eight years of leadership by one of California's most experienced statesmen, Jerry Brown. He is joined in the state Capitol by a supermajority of Democratic lawmakers, and inherits a nearly $15 billion budget surplus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he tried to strike a balance in the speech between the ambitious, progressive policies he espoused on the campaign trail — universal health care, universal preschool — and the reality of budgeting in a state of nearly 40 million people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We will prepare for uncertain times ahead. We will be prudent stewards of taxpayer dollars, paying down debt, and meet our future obligations. And we will build and safeguard the largest fiscal reserve of any state in American history,\" Newsom promised, adding: \"But I want to be clear: We will be bold.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could be music to the ears of the Democratic supermajority in the Legislature, which occasionally clashed with Gov. Brown over pushes to increase state spending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you look at early childhood education, for example, Oklahoma is far ahead of California,\" said Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon on the inauguration broadcast by KQED and Capital Public Radio. \"So if we want to think about programs that we need to institute, I think that's a good place to start.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's a lot of things we've talked about as a state and haven't done, and we know that there are ways of getting the funds out there,\" Rendon added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Looking beyond the state's borders, Newsom also promised to offer an alternative to what he called the \"corruption and incompetence\" in the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our government will be progressive, principled and always on the side of the people,\" he said. \"This will take courage. That’s a word that means different things to different people. To me, courage means doing what is right even when it is hard. That will be the mission of our administration.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Newsom strove to connect his policy aspirations with the storied California Dream, citing the Gold Rush and Silicon Valley's success to argue for a more level playing field for all Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You shouldn’t have to find gold or make it in the movies or create a billion-dollar startup to live the California Dream. It is for everyone,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout the morning, Newsom's family was front and center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His oldest daughter, Montana, led the Pledge of Allegiance that kicked off the ceremony.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the state's new \"first partner,\" Jennifer Siebel Newsom, read the crowd a poem by former state poet laureate Juan Felipe Herrera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Herrera weaves together Spanish and English, reminding us of our common humanity,\" Siebel Newsom said of the poem. \"Reminding us that we are all one California family.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Journalists often referred to Gov. Jerry Brown as \"the adult in the room\" when he huddled with legislators to close their differences. It was not a label legislators much cared for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I would resent it, too, if I was the Legislature,\" Brown told KQED, insisting \u003cem>he \u003c/em>never said that. The governor said he expected legislators would push back against the next governor in ways they did not with him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he became governor in 2011, Brown said legislators were willing to embrace a cooperative approach partially because the economy was bad. He added that he appreciated how lawmakers worked with him to solve problems and to compromise when necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As things get easier, then people get more restive, and I think there is a desire for the Legislature to assert [itself],\" Brown said. \"Gavin will have his challenges, but he's older now than I was when I left the first time,\" he said, referring to the end of his second term in 1983. Brown said Newsom's age and experience will serve him well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the years, Newsom has shown a tendency to get out in front of issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In February 2004, he had been mayor of San Francisco for about a month when he made a bold — some would say \u003cem>reckless\u003c/em> — decision to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. For weeks on end, hundreds of couples from all over the state and nation lined up to get married.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Supreme Court soon put a stop to the weddings, but four years later, it ruled 4-3 that preventing same-sex couples from marrying violated the state constitution. It helped pave the way for a U.S. Supreme Court decision 10 years later legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To his growing number of supporters, it also signaled Newsom's willingness to push the envelope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think he's a risk taker, and I think he's a true intellectual believer in the notion that you can fail fast as long as you're moving forward,\" says Joyce Newstat, Newsom's policy director in the early part of his mayoralty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/682722290/682722554\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A risk taker\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Newsom's penchant for taking risks may have its roots in his childhood.

Figuring out how to compensate for that learning disability was a gift, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You know, nothing was rote, nothing was linear.

I've always been willing to take risks because you have to because you're never going to thrive in the more traditional sense.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether it was outside the box thinking, political courage or just trying to keep his name in the headlines while he was lieutenant governor, Newsom helped lay the groundwork for a statewide ballot measure legalizing the recreational use of marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11714545/newsom-promises-bold-leadership-as-governor-but-can-he-deliver\">Newsom Promises 'Bold' Leadership as Governor, But Can He Deliver?\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11714545/newsom-promises-bold-leadership-as-governor-but-can-he-deliver\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/NewsomElex-1180x785.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"I think Gavin Newsom has demonstrated a really deep understanding of where the zeitgeist is going,\" says technology forecaster and Stanford University professor, Paul Saffo.

After his first marriage fell apart, he had an affair with a top aide's wife. Some felt he often seemed bored being mayor; spending too much time thinking about his political future including a run for governor a decade ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm relieved that he didn't become governor earlier,\" Paul Saffo says, adding that Newsom's eight years watching political master Jerry Brown will give him a better sense of when to lead and when to follow. \"I suspect going into this governorship he's gonna understand that timing better than ever.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Passing the torch\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>At age 51, Gavin Newsom is 30 years younger than the outgoing Gov.

He added that he appreciated how lawmakers worked with him to solve problems and to compromise when necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As things get easier, then people get more restive, and I think there is a desire for the Legislature to assert [itself],\" Brown said. \"Gavin will have his challenges, but he's older now than I was when I left the first time,\" he said, referring to the end of his second term in 1983. Brown said Newsom's age and experience will serve him well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the years, Newsom has shown a tendency to get out in front of issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In February 2004, he had been mayor of San Francisco for about a month when he made a bold — some would say \u003cem>reckless\u003c/em> — decision to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. For weeks on end, hundreds of couples from all over the state and nation lined up to get married.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Supreme Court soon put a stop to the weddings, but four years later, it ruled 4-3 that preventing same-sex couples from marrying violated the state constitution. It helped pave the way for a U.S. Supreme Court decision 10 years later legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To his growing number of supporters, it also signaled Newsom's willingness to push the envelope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think he's a risk taker, and I think he's a true intellectual believer in the notion that you can fail fast as long as you're moving forward,\" says Joyce Newstat, Newsom's policy director in the early part of his mayoralty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/682722290/682722554\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A risk taker\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Newsom's penchant for taking risks may have its roots in his childhood. He was not a particularly good student and was eventually diagnosed with dyslexia. Figuring out how to compensate for that learning disability was a gift, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You know, nothing was rote, nothing was linear.

After his first marriage fell apart, he had an affair with a top aide's wife. Some felt he often seemed bored being mayor; spending too much time thinking about his political future including a run for governor a decade ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm relieved that he didn't become governor earlier,\" Paul Saffo says, adding that Newsom's eight years watching political master Jerry Brown will give him a better sense of when to lead and when to follow. \"I suspect going into this governorship he's gonna understand that timing better than ever.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Passing the torch\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>At age 51, Gavin Newsom is 30 years younger than the outgoing Gov.

Journalists often referred to Gov. Jerry Brown as \"the adult in the room\" when he huddled with legislators to close their differences. It was not a label legislators much cared for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I would resent it, too, if I was the Legislature,\" Brown told KQED, insisting \u003cem>he\u003c/em> never said that. The governor said he expected legislators would push back against the next governor in ways they did not with him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he became governor in 2011, Brown said, legislators were willing to embrace a cooperative approach, partly because the economy was bad. He added that he appreciated how lawmakers worked with him to solve problems and to compromise when necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As things get easier, then people get more restive, and I think there is a desire for the Legislature to assert (itself),\" Brown said. \"Gavin will have his challenges, but he's older now than I was when I left the first time,\" he said, referring to the end of his second term in 1983. Brown said Newsom's age and experience will serve him well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the years, Newsom has shown a tendency to get out in front of issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In February 2004, he had been mayor of San Francisco for about a month when he made a bold — some would say \u003cem>reckless\u003c/em> — decision to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. For weeks on end, hundreds of couples from all over the state and nation lined up to get married.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Supreme Court soon put a stop to the weddings, but four years later, it ruled 4-3 that preventing same-sex couples from marrying violated the state constitution. It helped pave the way for a U.S. Supreme Court decision 10 years later legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11715425\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11715425\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/RS34584_GettyImages-81099350-qut-800x566.jpg\" alt=\"Gavin Newsom, then mayor of San Francisco, speaks during a news conference following a California Supreme Court decision to overturn the ban on same-sex marriage on May 15, 2008.\" width=\"800\" height=\"566\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/RS34584_GettyImages-81099350-qut-800x566.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/RS34584_GettyImages-81099350-qut-160x113.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/RS34584_GettyImages-81099350-qut-1020x722.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/RS34584_GettyImages-81099350-qut-1200x849.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/RS34584_GettyImages-81099350-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gavin Newsom, then mayor of San Francisco, speaks during a news conference following a California Supreme Court decision to overturn the ban on same-sex marriage on May 15, 2008. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>To his growing number of supporters it also signaled Newsom’s willingness to push the envelope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think he’s a risk taker, and I think he's a true intellectual believer in the notion that you can fail fast as long as you’re moving forward,\" said Joyce Newstat, Newsom's policy director in the early part of his mayoralty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Thinking Outside the Box\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s penchant for taking risks may have its roots in his childhood. He was not a particularly good student, and he was eventually diagnosed with dyslexia. Figuring out how to compensate for that learning disability was a gift, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You know, nothing was rote, nothing was linear. I had to work around things, work differently, see the world differently,\" Newsom said on KQED's \"Political Breakdown.\" \"It allowed me to think outside the box. I've always been willing to take risks because you have to because you're never going to thrive in the more traditional sense.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether it was outside the box thinking, political courage or just trying to keep his name in the headlines while he was lieutenant governor, Newsom helped lay the groundwork for a statewide ballot measure legalizing the recreational use of marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think Gavin Newsom has demonstrated a really deep understanding of where the zeitgeist is going,\" said technology forecaster Paul Saffo. He sees Newsom as fitting in well with the attitude of innovators in Silicon Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/guvtransition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brown Out, Newsom In\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/guvtransition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cimg src=\"https://u.s.kqed.net/2018/12/20/JerryBrownMain.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>As the Jerry Brown era winds down and California prepares for the governorship of Gavin Newsom, KQED is \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/guvtransition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">looking back\u003c/a> at Gov. Brown’s legacy and ahead to the challenges and opportunities facing Gov.-elect Newsom.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Saffo said Newsom seems to share what he calls their disrespect for authority. \"The entrepreneurs' creed is that it’s always easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission,\" Saffo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That tendency in Newsom was not always appreciated. After his first marriage fell apart, he had an affair with a top aide’s wife. And some felt he too often seemed bored with being mayor and took his eye off the ball while thinking too much about his political future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Passing the Torch\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, at age 51, Gavin Newsom is 30 years younger than the outgoing Brown and totally different in style and temperament. Former Gov. Gray Davis said it’s appropriate for a new governor to bring fresh ideas and priorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This transition is really a passing of the torch, not just of one governor to another but from one generation to another,\" Davis said. \"So it’s great that they have different styles. It’s almost by necessity you have to govern for the times.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom is taking over a state whose economy is the fifth largest in the world, and he has ambitions to match. California has the nation’s highest rate of childhood poverty, which Newsom wants to address.

Journalists often referred to Gov. Jerry Brown as \"the adult in the room\" when he huddled with legislators to close their differences. It was not a label legislators much cared for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I would resent it, too, if I was the Legislature,\" Brown told KQED, insisting \u003cem>he\u003c/em> never said that. The governor said he expected legislators would push back against the next governor in ways they did not with him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he became governor in 2011, Brown said, legislators were willing to embrace a cooperative approach, partly because the economy was bad. He added that he appreciated how lawmakers worked with him to solve problems and to compromise when necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As things get easier, then people get more restive, and I think there is a desire for the Legislature to assert (itself),\" Brown said. \"Gavin will have his challenges, but he's older now than I was when I left the first time,\" he said, referring to the end of his second term in 1983. Brown said Newsom's age and experience will serve him well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the years, Newsom has shown a tendency to get out in front of issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In February 2004, he had been mayor of San Francisco for about a month when he made a bold — some would say \u003cem>reckless\u003c/em> — decision to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. For weeks on end, hundreds of couples from all over the state and nation lined up to get married.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Supreme Court soon put a stop to the weddings, but four years later, it ruled 4-3 that preventing same-sex couples from marrying violated the state constitution. It helped pave the way for a U.S. Supreme Court decision 10 years later legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11715425\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11715425\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/RS34584_GettyImages-81099350-qut-800x566.jpg\" alt=\"Gavin Newsom, then mayor of San Francisco, speaks during a news conference following a California Supreme Court decision to overturn the ban on same-sex marriage on May 15, 2008.\" width=\"800\" height=\"566\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/RS34584_GettyImages-81099350-qut-800x566.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/RS34584_GettyImages-81099350-qut-160x113.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/RS34584_GettyImages-81099350-qut-1020x722.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/RS34584_GettyImages-81099350-qut-1200x849.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/RS34584_GettyImages-81099350-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gavin Newsom, then mayor of San Francisco, speaks during a news conference following a California Supreme Court decision to overturn the ban on same-sex marriage on May 15, 2008. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>To his growing number of supporters it also signaled Newsom’s willingness to push the envelope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think he’s a risk taker, and I think he's a true intellectual believer in the notion that you can fail fast as long as you’re moving forward,\" said Joyce Newstat, Newsom's policy director in the early part of his mayoralty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Thinking Outside the Box\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s penchant for taking risks may have its roots in his childhood. He was not a particularly good student, and he was eventually diagnosed with dyslexia. Figuring out how to compensate for that learning disability was a gift, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You know, nothing was rote, nothing was linear. I had to work around things, work differently, see the world differently,\" Newsom said on KQED's \"Political Breakdown.\" \"It allowed me to think outside the box. I've always been willing to take risks because you have to because you're never going to thrive in the more traditional sense.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether it was outside the box thinking, political courage or just trying to keep his name in the headlines while he was lieutenant governor, Newsom helped lay the groundwork for a statewide ballot measure legalizing the recreational use of marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think Gavin Newsom has demonstrated a really deep understanding of where the zeitgeist is going,\" said technology forecaster Paul Saffo. He sees Newsom as fitting in well with the attitude of innovators in Silicon Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/guvtransition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brown Out, Newsom In\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/guvtransition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cimg src=\"https://u.s.kqed.net/2018/12/20/JerryBrownMain.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>As the Jerry Brown era winds down and California prepares for the governorship of Gavin Newsom, KQED is \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/guvtransition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">looking back\u003c/a> at Gov. Brown’s legacy and ahead to the challenges and opportunities facing Gov.-elect Newsom.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Saffo said Newsom seems to share what he calls their disrespect for authority. \"The entrepreneurs' creed is that it’s always easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission,\" Saffo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That tendency in Newsom was not always appreciated. After his first marriage fell apart, he had an affair with a top aide’s wife. And some felt he too often seemed bored with being mayor and took his eye off the ball while thinking too much about his political future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Passing the Torch\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, at age 51, Gavin Newsom is 30 years younger than the outgoing Brown and totally different in style and temperament. Former Gov. Gray Davis said it’s appropriate for a new governor to bring fresh ideas and priorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This transition is really a passing of the torch, not just of one governor to another but from one generation to another,\" Davis said. \"So it’s great that they have different styles. It’s almost by necessity you have to govern for the times.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom is taking over a state whose economy is the fifth largest in the world, and he has ambitions to match. California has the nation’s highest rate of childhood poverty, which Newsom wants to address. He also wants to reform the health care system and provide government-subsidized child care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he can’t do it alone. He’ll need help from people like Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rendon and Newsom haven’t always seen eye to eye.

Brown’s legacy and ahead to the challenges and opportunities facing Gov.-elect Newsom.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Over the past eight years, Brown oversaw a dramatic shift in how California approaches criminal justice, including authoring a law that upended how the state treats nonviolent offenders and writing a ballot measure that rolled back the “lock ’em up” sentencing philosophy he championed in 1976. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This time around, the governor appointed \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11714131/browns-longest-lasting-legacy-judges\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">more than 600 judges\u003c/a>, including four to the state’s high court who represent not just more women and people of color, but also a much broader set of career experiences and philosophical backgrounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he’s gone much further than he did in the 1970s and 1980s: Over his final two terms, Brown issued 1,189 pardons and 152 commutations — dwarfing any of his predecessors and his own previous record, when he issued 404 pardons and just one commutation. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s also vetoed dozens of bills that would have created new crimes and signed numerous sentencing reforms that give offenders chances at shorter sentences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Brown’s Evolution on Criminal Justice\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some ways, Brown’s evolution tracks with that of California voters, who have embraced even further-reaching criminal justice reforms than the governor initially wanted. Both Brown and the electorate were encouraged down that path by a landmark legal case that resulted in the U.S. Supreme Court ordering the state to \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2011/05/23/136579580/california-is-ordered-to-cut-its-prison-population\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">reduce its prison population\u003c/a> by tens of thousands of inmates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, the state has about 34,000 fewer people in state prisons than it did when Brown was sworn into the governor’s office in 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Gov. Brown has presided over a legacy of criminal justice reform that is really unmatched across the country,” said Stanford University’s Michael Romano, who runs the university’s Three Strikes Project and helped write two of the recent criminal justice ballot initiatives that Brown was not involved in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The whole United States prison population has come down over the past 10 years, and all of that reduction is a result of the reductions that we’ve seen in California. And at the same time, the crime rates in California from when these reforms started to kick in, in 2011, to today are down,” Romano said. “So we’ve been able to reduce our prison population, significantly reduce the amount of injustice in the system, and improve public safety. And Gov. Brown has presided over that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11714131/browns-longest-lasting-legacy-judges\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brown’s Longest-Lasting Legacy: Judges\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11714131/browns-longest-lasting-legacy-judges\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/RS4469_106397071-1180x787.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The governor’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11714131/browns-longest-lasting-legacy-judges\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">judicial appointments\u003c/a> will leave a lasting imprint on the state, breaking the mold with candidates from diverse professional and personal backgrounds.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Romano credited Brown for his creative approach to the problem, saying the governor — the only person to ever lead California for four terms — understands the power of that office and what he called “the administrative state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He noted that both of the sweeping laws that Brown authored — Assembly Bill 109, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11107949/realignment-5-years-on-counties-build-jails-for-inmates-with-mental-illness\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">known as realignment\u003c/a>, and Proposition 57, which made broad changes to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11114572/jerry-brown-pushes-earlier-release-of-felons-under-proposition-57\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">parole rules\u003c/a> — did not rely on simply reducing criminal sentences or throwing the doors of prisons and jails open indiscriminately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He has not reduced a single sentence” with the changes in law, Romano said, “but he has shifted the responsibility and the incentives within the system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under Proposition 57, which voters approved in 2016, that meant giving prison officials more flexibility to reward prisoners who have participated in rehabilitative programs with shorter sentences. Under AB 109, it meant redirecting most nonviolent offenders to county jails instead of state prisons to serve their sentences, giving counties more incentives to rehabilitate offenders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown pushed both measures not only because he came to believe that many of the “tough on crime” laws of the 1980s and 1990s were a mistake, but because he had to. In the first months of his second administration, the U.S. Supreme Court issued that order, telling California its overcrowded prisons were unconstitutional because inmates were being denied medical care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the changes championed by the governor haven’t been without critics, Romano believes Brown’s approach was brilliant because it avoided the political pitfalls of releasing inmates early, and marshaled forces Brown had at his disposal within state government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This type of administrative reform has proven in some ways to be more effective than any other type of criminal justice reform and mass incarceration reform that we typically talk about,” Romano said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘Too Much Change Too Quickly’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, not everyone is on board.

Brown’s legacy and ahead to the challenges and opportunities facing Gov.-elect Newsom.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Over the past eight years, Brown oversaw a dramatic shift in how California approaches criminal justice, including authoring a law that upended how the state treats nonviolent offenders and writing a ballot measure that rolled back the “lock ’em up” sentencing philosophy he championed in 1976. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This time around, the governor appointed \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11714131/browns-longest-lasting-legacy-judges\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">more than 600 judges\u003c/a>, including four to the state’s high court who represent not just more women and people of color, but also a much broader set of career experiences and philosophical backgrounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he’s gone much further than he did in the 1970s and 1980s: Over his final two terms, Brown issued 1,189 pardons and 152 commutations — dwarfing any of his predecessors and his own previous record, when he issued 404 pardons and just one commutation. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Both Brown and the electorate were encouraged down that path by a landmark legal case that resulted in the U.S. Supreme Court ordering the state to \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2011/05/23/136579580/california-is-ordered-to-cut-its-prison-population\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">reduce its prison population\u003c/a> by tens of thousands of inmates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, the state has about 34,000 fewer people in state prisons than it did when Brown was sworn into the governor’s office in 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Gov. Brown has presided over a legacy of criminal justice reform that is really unmatched across the country,” said Stanford University’s Michael Romano, who runs the university’s Three Strikes Project and helped write two of the recent criminal justice ballot initiatives that Brown was not involved in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The whole United States prison population has come down over the past 10 years, and all of that reduction is a result of the reductions that we’ve seen in California. And at the same time, the crime rates in California from when these reforms started to kick in, in 2011, to today are down,” Romano said. “So we’ve been able to reduce our prison population, significantly reduce the amount of injustice in the system, and improve public safety. And Gov.

Under AB 109, it meant redirecting most nonviolent offenders to county jails instead of state prisons to serve their sentences, giving counties more incentives to rehabilitate offenders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown pushed both measures not only because he came to believe that many of the “tough on crime” laws of the 1980s and 1990s were a mistake, but because he had to. In the first months of his second administration, the U.S. Supreme Court issued that order, telling California its overcrowded prisons were unconstitutional because inmates were being denied medical care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the changes championed by the governor haven’t been without critics, Romano believes Brown’s approach was brilliant because it avoided the political pitfalls of releasing inmates early, and marshaled forces Brown had at his disposal within state government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This type of administrative reform has proven in some ways to be more effective than any other type of criminal justice reform and mass incarceration reform that we typically talk about,” Romano said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘Too Much Change Too Quickly’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, not everyone is on board.

"content": "\u003cp>Some of the criminal justice reforms Gov. Jerry Brown supported over the past eight years shift power from prosecutors to judges. And in that regard, Brown is leaving an impressive imprint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since taking office in 2011, the governor has appointed more than 600 judges, including four of seven on the state Supreme Court. And with many of those appointments, Brown broke the mold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For decades, California judges were overwhelmingly white and male. Many counties never had a woman sitting on the bench. Other counties, including ones with high numbers of Latino residents, had never had a judge with Hispanic roots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown chipped away at that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think his appointments have been fantastic,” said Tani Cantil-Sakauye, chief justice of the California Supreme Court. She was appointed by Brown’s predecessor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, making her the second woman and first Asian-Filipina American to become the state’s top justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our numbers show that over 50 percent of his appointments have been female. Also, about 40 percent self-identify as nonwhite. I think that is a huge step in the right direction for California,” she said recently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The chief justice was often displeased with Brown’s refusal to restore more funding to a court system decimated by deep budget cuts during the first years of his administration. And she quietly pushed for Brown to name a seventh justice to the Supreme Court, a spot left vacant for more than a year after Justice Kathryn M. Werdegar retired.

And in that regard, Brown is leaving an impressive imprint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since taking office in 2011, the governor has appointed more than 600 judges, including four of seven on the state Supreme Court. And with many of those appointments, Brown broke the mold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For decades, California judges were overwhelmingly white and male. Many counties never had a woman sitting on the bench. Other counties, including ones with high numbers of Latino residents, had never had a judge with Hispanic roots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown chipped away at that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think his appointments have been fantastic,” said Tani Cantil-Sakauye, chief justice of the California Supreme Court. She was appointed by Brown’s predecessor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, making her the second woman and first Asian-Filipina American to become the state’s top justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I think that is a huge step in the right direction for California,” she said recently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The chief justice was often displeased with Brown’s refusal to restore more funding to a court system decimated by deep budget cuts during the first years of his administration. And she quietly pushed for Brown to name a seventh justice to the Supreme Court, a spot left vacant for more than a year after Justice Kathryn M. Werdegar retired.
