But that doesn’t mean the former base is ready for a proposed 20,000-resident community approved this year by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. At cordoned off areas around the island, the cleanup of contamination continues in and around areas slated for future construction.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Navy acknowledged at an Oct. 16 community meeting that extensive work remains, including additional radiation surveys of locations such as the former site of the USS Pandemonium, a mock-up ship used to train sailors to decontaminate ships hit with nuclear fallout. That site is surrounded by former barracks now used as low-income housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, the Navy has yet to respond to recent reports that the military has not fully vetted Treasure Island for possible nuclear waste. On Oct. 4, state health officials told the Navy that it had not adequately explored the possibility that during its years as a military base, Treasure Island might have been dusted with radioactive ash, soaked with radioactive sewage and contaminated with radioactive garbage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Navy plans to formally answer the health officials’ critique by mid-December, according to Melanie Ault, Base Realignment and Closure Program coordinator for the Navy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of all the public areas surveyed recently, only one showed elevated levels. An infield of the baseball field located at Avenue H and Ninth Street, with the exception of the area around third base, had a radiation level “slightly less than twice background. The soil in the affected area was noticeably darker,” wrote John G. Fassell, chief of radioactive material inspection for the Compliance and Enforcement Section of the state’s health department, in a report dated Oct. 5.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that darker ground apparently had been added to the field. “The little league groundskeeper indicated he had been bringing in fill material as top dressing for the infield from off site as part of his maintenance of the field,” the report said, concluding it “does not pose a health threat.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a recent City Hall hearing, the city’s environmental engineer assigned to monitor cleanup of the former Navy base suggested Treasure Island is getting closer to being ready for redevelopment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No health and safety concerns were identified by the California Department of Public Health,” testified Amy Brownell, environmental engineer with the San Francisco Department of Public Health, at an Oct. 15 hearing of the Board of Supervisors Rules Committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the hearing, where some Treasure Island residents wore T-shirts that read “Hell No We Won’t Glow,” Brownell sought to reassure them that their homes are not radioactive. “Treasure Island is safe for current residents and workers and will remain safe,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Kathryn Lundgren, co-founder of the grassroots Treasure Island Health Network, said that the health department surveys did not go far enough. “They’ve never been in my backyard,” said Lundgren, who lives on Bayside Drive adding: “Their scope needs to be larger.” The recent surveys did include some backyards on nearby Gateview Avenue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Treasure Island Development Authority and the Navy requested the scans, following \u003ca href=\"http://www.baycitizen.org/environment/story/radiation-history-treasure-island-more/\">concerns heightened by the revelation\u003c/a> in August that radioactive contamination at the Treasure Island Naval Station is more widespread than previously disclosed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Areas tested included The Boys and Girls Club, Kendrex Winery, Treasure Island Childcare Center and the Great Lawn.

An infield of the baseball field located at Avenue H and Ninth Street, with the exception of the area around third base, had a radiation level “slightly less than twice background.

Clark Kelso, said the state has been free to collectively bargain health care providers’ salaries since a court order increasing their wages expired three years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The receiver’s goal was to correct a prison medical system that was ruled unconstitutional for its substandard care and, at one point, contributed to an inmate death each week through negligence or malfeasance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To do that, the receivership increased salaries, created new positions at high pay and hired hundreds of employees to fill longtime vacancies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Total spending on medical, dental and mental health care for inmates, numbering 124,700, has more than doubled over the last decade, from $1.1 billion in fiscal year 2003-04 to a projected $2.3 billion this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The number of medical, mental health and dental workers in the prisons more than doubled over six years, from 5,100 in 2005, the year before the receivership was created, to 12,200 last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 1,400 were administrators who don’t directly treat inmates, according to a state Assembly oversight committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. David M.

His pay topped other doctors because he also worked overnight, weekend and holiday shifts 10 to 15 times a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prison doctors said they deserve higher pay because they face the constant threat of assault from inmates and because prisons, generally, are located in the most remote regions of the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re doing it well now because we’ve got better docs who are willing to work in these less-than-ideal situations and are being adequately compensated,” said Mathis, who also worked in prisons in Maryland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nancy Kincaid, a spokeswoman for the federal receiver, said paying doctors to work nights and weekends is cheaper than hiring additional doctors with full salaries and benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state has cut its costs for outside medical care in half by having more sick inmates treated by the prison doctors instead of being sent to hospitals. That also reduces the cost of transporting and guarding them while they are treated outside of the prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can save the taxpayer a lot of money by coming in to handle things,” said Dr. Vache Chakmakian, who works 90 miles from Ironwood State Prison near Blythe, a southern desert city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chakmakian was paid $358,645 last year — his regular pay of $239,572 plus $119,072 for frequently working overnight and holidays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal judges and receivers who oversee medical and mental health care said boosting pay significantly was the only way to attract quality employees to such jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One result is that of the top 100 highest-paid state employees outside the University of California system last year, 44 worked in the prisons, according to an Associated Press analysis of state payroll data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They averaged nearly $379,000 in salary and were led by the $803,271 paid to a psychiatrist at Salinas Valley State Prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Base salaries for prison psychiatrists range from $126,000 to $281,952, depending on seniority and other factors, with chief psychiatrists paid more.

George Runner, a Republican who has frequently criticized the program. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So the receiver could just do or choose to spend whatever amount of money he thought was necessary to solve his problem, and unfortunately now the state is stuck with that,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The receiver for medical care, J. Clark Kelso, said the state has been free to collectively bargain health care providers’ salaries since a court order increasing their wages expired three years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The receiver’s goal was to correct a prison medical system that was ruled unconstitutional for its substandard care and, at one point, contributed to an inmate death each week through negligence or malfeasance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To do that, the receivership increased salaries, created new positions at high pay and hired hundreds of employees to fill longtime vacancies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Total spending on medical, dental and mental health care for inmates, numbering 124,700, has more than doubled over the last decade, from $1.1 billion in fiscal year 2003-04 to a projected $2.3 billion this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The number of medical, mental health and dental workers in the prisons more than doubled over six years, from 5,100 in 2005, the year before the receivership was created, to 12,200 last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 1,400 were administrators who don’t directly treat inmates, according to a state Assembly oversight committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. David M. Mathis at the California Medical Facility in Vacaville, between Sacramento and San Francisco, was paid about $410,000 last year, the most of any prison doctor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mathis treats some of the sickest inmates and is the acting medical director at the prison hospice, where terminally ill prisoners go to die. He is a board certified physician who had a solo practice for 25 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to his $239,572 base salary, Mathis was paid $169,548 for working nights and weekends. His pay topped other doctors because he also worked overnight, weekend and holiday shifts 10 to 15 times a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prison doctors said they deserve higher pay because they face the constant threat of assault from inmates and because prisons, generally, are located in the most remote regions of the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re doing it well now because we’ve got better docs who are willing to work in these less-than-ideal situations and are being adequately compensated,” said Mathis, who also worked in prisons in Maryland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nancy Kincaid, a spokeswoman for the federal receiver, said paying doctors to work nights and weekends is cheaper than hiring additional doctors with full salaries and benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state has cut its costs for outside medical care in half by having more sick inmates treated by the prison doctors instead of being sent to hospitals. That also reduces the cost of transporting and guarding them while they are treated outside of the prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can save the taxpayer a lot of money by coming in to handle things,” said Dr. Vache Chakmakian, who works 90 miles from Ironwood State Prison near Blythe, a southern desert city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chakmakian was paid $358,645 last year — his regular pay of $239,572 plus $119,072 for frequently working overnight and holidays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal judges and receivers who oversee medical and mental health care said boosting pay significantly was the only way to attract quality employees to such jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One result is that of the top 100 highest-paid state employees outside the University of California system last year, 44 worked in the prisons, according to an Associated Press analysis of state payroll data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They averaged nearly $379,000 in salary and were led by the $803,271 paid to a psychiatrist at Salinas Valley State Prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Base salaries for prison psychiatrists range from $126,000 to $281,952, depending on seniority and other factors, with chief psychiatrists paid more. Dentists’ salaries can be as high as $288,000\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Compared with the other most populous states, California had higher base salaries for prison doctors than New York, Florida and Pennsylvania.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But base salaries for prison doctors were higher in Texas, particularly when salaries were adjusted for California’s higher cost of living, according to a state Department of Finance report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The prison receiver does not control mental health or dental care, but the finance department counts those in the overall cost of providing inmate medical care, which has risen from $7,747 per inmate the year before the federal receivership began to more than $18,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The courts have directed the receivership to wind down while ensuring the state prison system maintains adequate health care for inmates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The order reignited a debate between Kelso and Gov. Jerry Brown, who has fought the receiver’s efforts to provide what the governor once derided as “Cadillac care” for convicts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kelso said the prisons provide “minimally necessary medical care.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

So Oakland invested a lot of money and staff time in to setting up a regulatory system for the dispensaries. And now the feds are legally obligated to keep their word and leave these pot sellers alone, Oakland officials say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re concerned that the government through its action and inaction caused the city to rely on the fact that we could proceed to dedicate the resources that we did to set up this dispensary system,” Oakland City Attorney Parker told us.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Oct. 19, 2009, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.justice.gov/main/archives/192\">guidelines\u003c/a> that his department would use in enforcing the U.S. laws making marijuana illegal:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>As a general matter, pursuit of these priorities should not focus federal resources in your States on individuals whose actions are in clear and unambiguous compliance with existing state laws providing for the medical use of marijuana.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>But the government continued to prosecute some cases, and in 2011 began a series of high-profile raids and legal actions against large dispensaries, including some of the best-known marijuana businesses in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\n\u003cp>Read \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/10/oakland-lawsuit-against-US-2012-10-10-complaint.pdf\">the text of Oakland’s lawsuit against the U.S.\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>On March 15, Melinda Haag, U.S. Attorney for Northern California, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/03/15/interview-w-us-attorney-haag-on-pot-operations-if-its-close-to-children-thats-a-line-were-going-to-draw/\">told KQED’s Michael Montgomery \u003c/a>that her office was flooded with complaints about marijuana dispensaries, and that the Oct. 19 memo didn’t mean marijuana that comply with state and local law would not be prosecuted. She said federal agents would focus on marijuana businesses close to schools and other places children gather.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On July 11, workers arrived at Harborside Health Center in downtown Oakland — which is billed as the largest pot dispensary in the world, but is not near a children’s school — to find notices taped to the door saying that the U.S. government had filed suit to seize the building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The change in policy is hurting Oakland in several ways, Parker told us. Crime related to marijuana has dropped since regulated dispensaries opened up, she said. “That’s my understanding, that now that people can buy this safely and affordably through this regulated dispensary process we don’t have the crime that would be associated with them attempting to do the same thing on the illegal market,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, the city is harmed because patients who need marijuana won’t be able to get it safely, she said. “We think it is vital for this continue, otherwise these patients would be left to their own devices to buy this vital medicine on the black market, which would endanger their lives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city made a big investment in regulating marijuana, said Cedric Chao, who is acting as outside counsel to the city on the lawsuit. The city requires dispensaries to submit business plans, submit to audits and background checks, hire security, install lighting and cameras in parking lots, among other regulations. The dispensaries even have to furnish samples of marijuana to outside laboratories that verify the quality, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city expects to collect $1.4 million in taxes from dispensaries in 2012, said Chao, and loss of this revenue is another way in which it would be harmed by shuttering them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another legal basis for the lawsuit is the city’s claim that the statute of limitation has expired for the prosecution. Prosecutors must act within five years of the time they become aware of a crime, said Chao.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city is asking Judge Maria Elena James of the U.S. District Court for Northern California to stop the federal government from shutting dispensaries that comply with the law. It is not seeking damages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The City Council authorized the lawsuit last week, and Parker filed it Wednesday. The first court date, a case management conference, is scheduled for Jan. 10 2013. The federal government has 60 days to respond, said Chao.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calls to U.S. Northern California Attorney Melinda Haag’s office, and to the Department of Justice, were not returned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland has not been in touch with any other local governments considering any similar actions, Parker said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Kevin A. Sabet, a former advisor to the Obama administration drug policy director Gil Kerlikowske told Reuters that Oakland’s marijuana policy is misguided:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>This lawsuit is just the latest bizarre twist in California’s laughable medical marijuana program, a system where over 95% of users have no life threatening illness. If Oakland really cared about getting marijuana’s medical value to the truly sick and dying, they would be applying for research studies to explore the potential medical benefit of marijuana’s components for those with cancer pain or a terminal illness, as called for by the Institute of Medicine and American Medical Association. The current system, where the average user is a 32-year-old male with a history of drug abuse and no chronic illness is a sad joke.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

Crime related to marijuana has dropped since regulated dispensaries opened up, she said. “That’s my understanding, that now that people can buy this safely and affordably through this regulated dispensary process we don’t have the crime that would be associated with them attempting to do the same thing on the illegal market,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, the city is harmed because patients who need marijuana won’t be able to get it safely, she said. “We think it is vital for this continue, otherwise these patients would be left to their own devices to buy this vital medicine on the black market, which would endanger their lives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city made a big investment in regulating marijuana, said Cedric Chao, who is acting as outside counsel to the city on the lawsuit. The city requires dispensaries to submit business plans, submit to audits and background checks, hire security, install lighting and cameras in parking lots, among other regulations. The dispensaries even have to furnish samples of marijuana to outside laboratories that verify the quality, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city expects to collect $1.4 million in taxes from dispensaries in 2012, said Chao, and loss of this revenue is another way in which it would be harmed by shuttering them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another legal basis for the lawsuit is the city’s claim that the statute of limitation has expired for the prosecution. Prosecutors must act within five years of the time they become aware of a crime, said Chao.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city is asking Judge Maria Elena James of the U.S. District Court for Northern California to stop the federal government from shutting dispensaries that comply with the law. It is not seeking damages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The City Council authorized the lawsuit last week, and Parker filed it Wednesday. The first court date, a case management conference, is scheduled for Jan. 10 2013. The federal government has 60 days to respond, said Chao.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calls to U.S. Northern California Attorney Melinda Haag’s office, and to the Department of Justice, were not returned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland has not been in touch with any other local governments considering any similar actions, Parker said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Kevin A. Sabet, a former advisor to the Obama administration drug policy director Gil Kerlikowske told Reuters that Oakland’s marijuana policy is misguided:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>This lawsuit is just the latest bizarre twist in California’s laughable medical marijuana program, a system where over 95% of users have no life threatening illness. If Oakland really cared about getting marijuana’s medical value to the truly sick and dying, they would be applying for research studies to explore the potential medical benefit of marijuana’s components for those with cancer pain or a terminal illness, as called for by the Institute of Medicine and American Medical Association. The current system, where the average user is a 32-year-old male with a history of drug abuse and no chronic illness is a sad joke.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The new requirement will go into effect Jan. 1, 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents, including former “Saturday Night Live” actor \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.sacbee.com/capitolalertlatest/2012/09/actor-rob-schneider-urges-gov-brown-to-veto-vaccination-bill.html\">Rob Schneider\u003c/a> of Pacifica, said it infringes on parental rights and increases medical costs for families, according to the Sacramento Bee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There shouldn’t be government coercion to force parents to jump another hoop to have to make decisions on … what’s the best interest of their child,” Schneider said, according to the newspaper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gay ‘Conversion Therapy’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Effective Jan. 1, mental health practitioners are prohibited from trying to change the sexual orientation of anyone under 18, in what’s known as “reparative or conversion therapy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The therapies “have no basis in science or medicine and they will now be relegated to the dustbin of quackery,” Brown said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mainstream associations representing psychiatrists and psychologists have dismissed reparative therapy in recent decades. A number of mental health associations in California — including the state’s Board of Behavorial Sciences, the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists, and the California Psychological Association — supported the legislation, the Associated Press reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some organizations and ministries continue to use counseling and prayer to try to help conflicted Christians rid themselves of unwanted homosexual inclinations. Gay rights activists have said the damage they inflict on individuals can be deep and lasting and can put youth at higher risk of depression and suicide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conservative religious groups and some Republicans have argued that banning conversion therapy would hinder parents’ right to provide psychological care for children experiencing gender confusion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Domestic Workers\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown vetoed a bill Sunday to regulate overtime and meal breaks for nannies, maids and other domestic workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his veto message, the governor said he wants the state Department of Industrial Relations to study the potential impacts of new rules before they are drafted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What will be the economic and human impact on the disabled or elderly person and their family of requiring overtime, rest and meal periods for attendants who provide 24 hour care?” Brown wrote. “What would be the additional costs and what is the financial capacity of those taking care of loved ones in the last years of life?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The veto drew criticism from Sylvia Lopez, a worker with the California Domestic Workers Coalition, which sponsored the bill, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/california-politics/2012/09/gov-jerry-brown-veto-breaks-overtime-nannies.html\">Los Angeles Times\u003c/a>. “It is a huge disappointment that Gov. Brown chose not to recognize the people caring for California’s families and homes as real workers,” Lopez said, according to the newspaper. “For decades we have tirelessly cared for California’s homes, children, the elderly, and people with disabilities without the protection of basic rights.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farm Workers\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown also vetoed a bill requiring farmers to provide continuous access to shade and “suitably cool” water to their workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assembly Bill 2676 would have imposed a six-month jail term and a fine of up to $10,000 for violators, with the penalty escalating if the victim suffered injury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his veto message, Brown said farmers who don’t provide shade and water should not be treated as criminals. “While I believe enforcement of our heat standards can be improved, I am not convinced that creating a new crime — and a crime that applies only to one group of employers — is the answer,” Brown wrote. “Instead, we should continue to enforce our stringent standards for the benefit of all workers in all industries.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblyman Charles Calderon, D-Whittier, said he wanted to bring the same protections to farm workers that animals already enjoy under state law, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.sacbee.com/capitolalertlatest/2012/09/a-matter----ab-2676-farmworker-heat-bill-1.html\">Sacramento Bee\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Immigration\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/10/01/brown-signs-drivers-license-bill-for-undocumented-immigrants-vetoes-deportation-limits/\">Brown vetoed AB1081\u003c/a>, which could have protected illegal immigrants from deportation if they committed minor infractions. The bill has been dubbed “anti-Arizona” legislation, a reference to that state’s controversial immigrant identification law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The so-called \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/news/story/2012/07/23/103289/bill_would_restrict_secure_communities_enforcement?category=bay+area\">TRUST Act\u003c/a> would have let California opt out of some parts of a federal program that requires local law enforcement officers to check the fingerprints of people they arrest against a federal immigration database and to hold those who are in the country illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law would have barred local law enforcement officers from detaining suspects for possible deportation unless they are charged with serious or violent felonies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Brown signed AB2189 by Assemblyman Gil Cedillo, D-Los Angeles, letting the Department of Motor Vehicles issue licenses to undocumented immigrants eligible for work permits under a new Obama administration policy. The bill requires the department to accept as proof of legal residence whatever document the federal government provides to participants in its deferred action program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Youth Sentencing\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Bill 9 allows murderers sentenced to life in prison to petition for resentencing if they were minors when they committed the crime. Offenders could not petition a court until they had served at least 15 years in prison, and they could not be released until they had served at least 25 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They also would not be eligible for resentencing if they had a history of violence, tortured their victim or killed a law enforcement officer or firefighter, the \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.sacbee.com/mt/mt-search.cgi?IncludeBlogs=41&search=youth+sentencing&keywords=youth+sentencing&aff=5\">Sacramento Bee\u003c/a> reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sponsor Leland Yee, (D – San Francisco), argued that a youth’s brain differs from that of an adult. Opponents characterized SB 9 as a danger to public safety and painted it as offensive to the families of victims killed by juveniles, according to the newspaper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"description": "West Oakland activist Dana Harvey has been honored by the White House as one of 11 "Champions of Change," who've worked to improve healthy food access. Harvey helped bring farm fresh produce to West Oakland's food desert as the executive director of Mandela MarketPlace, a network of community businesses that includes a grocery co-op, a produce distributor, and a youth group that brings fresh fruit and vegetables to local liquor stores. Harvey tells KQED's Nina Thorsen that she didn't even know she was being considered for the White House honor--she had been quietly nominated by one of her staff members.",
