While the state experienced a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/explainers/california-budget-whiplash/\">historic surplus just two years ago\u003c/a>, a delay in tax collections last year caused by winter storms shielded the extent of California’s weakening fiscal condition until after the governor and lawmakers had already committed to too much new spending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The budget deal proposes legislation, to be taken up in August, that will require the state to set aside a portion of future projected surpluses so that it cannot be spent until the money is collected. It also suggests putting a constitutional amendment before voters in 2026 to grow California’s main reserve account.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, the state plans to dip into that rainy day fund, pulling out more than $12 billion over the next two years to address the fiscal shortfall. It will also suspend the net operating loss for companies with more than $1 million in taxable income and limit business tax credits to $5 million annually — strategies that it previously employed at the height of the coronavirus pandemic — to raise an estimated nearly $15 billion in new revenue over the next three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Make no mistake: This is a tough budget year, but it also isn’t the budget situation we were originally fearing,” McGuire, a Healdsburg Democrat, said in a statement. “\u003ca href=\"https://sbud.senate.ca.gov/system/files/2024-06/budget-act-of-2024-key-highlights.pdf\">This balanced budget\u003c/a> helps tackle some of our toughest challenges with resources to combat the homelessness crisis, investments in housing, and funding to fight wildfires and retail theft.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Medi-Cal covers medical and mental health services for nearly 15 million Californians, well over a third of the state, many of them among the poorest and most vulnerable residents. The program has a budget of \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/Publications/Report/4838\">about $157 billion\u003c/a>, including recent expansions to cover all immigrants regardless of legal status and a \u003ca href=\"https://californiahealthline.org/news/article/newsom-medicaid-12-billion-dollar-makeover-nonprofits-bureacracy-calaim/\">$12 billion\u003c/a> experiment to offer socioeconomic supports not traditionally covered by health insurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, access to care is notoriously spotty for many Medi-Cal patients, in part because low payment rates discourage providers from seeing them. The shortage is particularly acute in \u003ca href=\"https://californiahealthline.org/news/article/medicaid-specialist-shortage-wait-pain-riverside-county/\">specialty care\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our patients wait months for access to specialists or travel great distances to see them,” said Joel Ramirez, chief medical officer of Camarena Health, a chain of over 20 community clinics based in Madera. “Higher rates would allow for more providers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ramirez said 60% to 70% of Camarena’s patients are on Medi-Cal, many of them farmworkers. “It’s a tall ask for them to find time off work and get the transportation to travel an hour for an appointment,” he said. “Whatever condition that patient has that needs the attention of a specialist is being either untreated or incompletely treated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dougherty, Sutter Medical Center’s ER chief, said that over half of his patients are on Medi-Cal and the ER is always at full capacity, with the waiting rooms jammed and an insufficient number of beds.

Gavin Newsom’s administration had \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11980459/california-workers-heat-illness-protections\">withdrawn its support\u003c/a> for the indoor heat rules due to implementation costs, which it said hovered in the billions of dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Employers concerned about the extra costs of complying with the standard decried the move as unfair during a public meeting of the workplace safety board the following month.[aside postID=news_11989975 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/TacoBellWalkOutSanJose01-1020x765.jpg']“How does an evaluation and analysis from the lens of one employer and one work environment weigh heavier than the rest of us?” asked business advisor Helen Cleary, who directs the Phylmar Regulatory Roundtable. “The implementation burden of the requirements impacts all employers and are not exclusive to state prisons.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Business associations have also contended that some requirements, such as access to “cool-down areas” when temperatures reach 82 degrees or higher, could be too burdensome for very small restaurants and other businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11989885/newsom-dismisses-workplace-safety-regulator-ahead-of-important-vote\">Newsom dismissed\u003c/a> an occupational safety board member and demoted another one from the chairman position. Laura Stock and David Thomas had openly criticized the administration at the board’s meeting in March for seemingly derailing a final vote on the indoor heat standard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During Thursday’s meeting, several members of the public expressed appreciation for Stocks’ and Thomas’ service as well as disappointment at Newsom’s move.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We hope that this decision does not dampen the board’s willingness to continue standing up for workers,” one speaker said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the standards board’s approval on Thursday, the Office of Administrative Law has 30 working days to review the regulations.

Los incendios, el humo y la pandemia de covid-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En “los tiempos de antes”, antes de la pandemia, los residentes de áreas con humo tenían que evitar salir de sus hogares y se surtirían de cubrebocas N95 o N100, para protegerse de las pequeñas partículas en el aire que existen cuando hay incendios y que pueden tener efectos negativos en la salud.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Uso de mascarillas de tipo N95 para COVID-19 y el humo\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>“La mejor mascarilla para protegerse contra el humo de los incendios forestales es una de tipo N95. También es la mejor mascarilla para protegerse del coronavirus», afirmó el Dr. John Balmes, neumólogo y profesor de medicina de la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de California en San Francisco (o UCSF, por sus siglas en ingés).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (o CDC, por sus siglas en inglés) afirman que las mascarillas de respiración bien ajustadas y aprobadas por el Instituto Nacional de Salud y Seguridad en el Trabajo (o NIOSH, por sus siglas en inglés), \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/publicppe/community-ppe.html?CDC_AA_refVal=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fcoronavirus%2F2019-ncov%2Fprevent-getting-sick%2Ftypes-of-masks.html#anchor_5146932324\">como las de tipo N95, ofrecen el “mejor” nivel de protección frente a los peligros del aire, incluidas las gotitas que propagan el COVID-19\u003c/a> (enlace sólo en inglés). (\u003ca href=\"https://blogs.cdc.gov/niosh-science-blog/2023/06/29/wildfire-smoke/\">Tenga en cuenta que, por lo general, los CDC utilizan oficialmente la palabra “respirador” para referirse a este tipo de protectores de rostro\u003c/a> (enlace sólo en inglés) que son muy eficaces contra las partículas, y “mascarillas” para referirse a los tipos de protectores de rostro que son menos eficaces, como las mascarillas de tela y las mascarillas quirúrgicas, le daremos más información sobre ellas más adelante).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>El “95” de N95 también indica que estas mascarillas “alcanzan una eficacia de filtración mínima del 95%” frente a partículas peligrosas, según los CDC. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11706160/how-particulate-respirator-masks-work\">Lea más sobre cómo funcionan las mascarillas N95 y por qué son tan eficaces\u003c/a> (enlace sólo en inglés).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12004846\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12004846\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/WILDFIRE-SMOKE-IN-THE-AIR.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/WILDFIRE-SMOKE-IN-THE-AIR.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/WILDFIRE-SMOKE-IN-THE-AIR-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Humo de incendio forestal en el aire cerca de Pleasant Valley Road en Vacaville, condado de Solano, el 20 de agosto de 2020. \u003ccite>(Peter Arcuni/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Una advertencia: algunos funcionarios de salud pública afirman que las mascarillas de tipo N95 no son para cualquier persona, debido a la posibilidad de que el usuario se equivoque en el ajuste y de que provoquen el tipo de incomodidad que hace que algunas personas sean menos propensas a llevarlas de manera constante,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Veronica Vien, funcionaria de información pública del Departamento de Salud Pública de San Francisco, afirma que las mascarillas como las de tipo N95 pueden resultar incómodas de llevar durante largos periodos de tiempo y deben “proporcionar un sello hermético alrededor de la boca y la nariz del usuario” para funcionar de forma eficaz. “Si una mascarilla N95 le hace sentir mejor, póngasela. Si se siente aún peor, no lo lleve”, afirma Vien.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Balmes, de la UCSF, también señaló que algunos tipos de mascarillas KN95, similares a las mascarillas N95, pero fabricadas en China, también son buenas. Los CDC denominan a este tipo de mascarillas “respirador facial filtrante internacional”, porque \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/publicppe/community-ppe.html?CDC_AA_refVal=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fcoronavirus%2F2019-ncov%2Fprevent-getting-sick%2Ftypes-of-masks.html#anchor_5146932324\">se someten a pruebas según normas internacionales y no según las normas del NIOSH\u003c/a> (enlace sólo en inglés), lo que significa que “pueden no tener los rigurosos requerimientos de garantía de calidad que satisfacen aquellas [mascarillas] que están aprobadas por el NIOSH.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>¿Y las mascarillas tipo N95 con válvulas de exhalación?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Este tipo de mascarillas funcionan bien contra el humo de los incendios forestales, pero son menos eficaces para detener la propagación de enfermedades como el virus del COVID-19, incluso con cinta aislante sobre la válvula. Por lo tanto, si tiene COVID-19, estará exhalando partículas infecciosas hacia los demás a través de esas válvulas como no lo permiten los N95 sin válvulas. Esto se debe a que, si bien estas válvulas impiden que las partículas lleguen a la boca, pueden permitirle respirar el aire que sale de la mascarilla sin filtrarlo.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Uso de una mascarilla quirúrgica contra el COVID-19 y el humo\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Las mascarillas quirúrgicas «protegen de alguna manera contra el humo de los incendios forestales porque están estandarizadas», afirma Balmes. Balmes calcula que las mascarillas quirúrgicas pueden reducir la exposición al humo de los incendios en aproximadamente un 20%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En cuanto a COVID-19, los CDC afirman que las “mascarillas quirúrgicas desechables bien ajustadas” son sólo la segunda mejor mascarilla para protegerse del virus, junto con las de tipo KN95, por detrás de las mascarillas N95.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Uso de una mascarilla de tela para COVID-19 y el humo\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>El uso de mascarillas de tela fue una de las principales medidas adoptadas para limitar la propagación del virus en los primeros días de la pandemia. Pero a estas alturas, los CDC han advertido de que, aunque este tipo de mascarillas “pueden bloquear las gotitas”, no protegen de las partículas pequeñas, por lo que no son una buena opción para protegerse contra el COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Además, las mascarillas de tela no filtran el humo de los incendios forestales. Como señalan los CDC, ni las mascarillas de tela ni las mascarillas quirúrgicas “tienen el tipo de material filtrante que eliminará las partículas de humo”.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>¿La mejor manera de protegerse del humo de los incendios forestales?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Aunque las mascarillas son una buena opción, las autoridades sanitarias afirman que \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1926793/protecting-your-health-from-toxic-wildfire-smoke\">la forma más eficaz de protegerse del humo de los incendios forestales es quedarse en casa lo más posible\u003c/a> (enlace sólo en inglés).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abajo encontrará un mapa interactivo de la calidad del aire realizado por la compañía privada PurpleAir.

Los incendios, el humo y la pandemia de covid-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En “los tiempos de antes”, antes de la pandemia, los residentes de áreas con humo tenían que evitar salir de sus hogares y se surtirían de cubrebocas N95 o N100, para protegerse de las pequeñas partículas en el aire que existen cuando hay incendios y que pueden tener efectos negativos en la salud.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Uso de mascarillas de tipo N95 para COVID-19 y el humo\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>“La mejor mascarilla para protegerse contra el humo de los incendios forestales es una de tipo N95. También es la mejor mascarilla para protegerse del coronavirus», afirmó el Dr. John Balmes, neumólogo y profesor de medicina de la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de California en San Francisco (o UCSF, por sus siglas en ingés).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (o CDC, por sus siglas en inglés) afirman que las mascarillas de respiración bien ajustadas y aprobadas por el Instituto Nacional de Salud y Seguridad en el Trabajo (o NIOSH, por sus siglas en inglés), \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/publicppe/community-ppe.html?CDC_AA_refVal=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fcoronavirus%2F2019-ncov%2Fprevent-getting-sick%2Ftypes-of-masks.html#anchor_5146932324\">como las de tipo N95, ofrecen el “mejor” nivel de protección frente a los peligros del aire, incluidas las gotitas que propagan el COVID-19\u003c/a> (enlace sólo en inglés). (\u003ca href=\"https://blogs.cdc.gov/niosh-science-blog/2023/06/29/wildfire-smoke/\">Tenga en cuenta que, por lo general, los CDC utilizan oficialmente la palabra “respirador” para referirse a este tipo de protectores de rostro\u003c/a> (enlace sólo en inglés) que son muy eficaces contra las partículas, y “mascarillas” para referirse a los tipos de protectores de rostro que son menos eficaces, como las mascarillas de tela y las mascarillas quirúrgicas, le daremos más información sobre ellas más adelante).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>El “95” de N95 también indica que estas mascarillas “alcanzan una eficacia de filtración mínima del 95%” frente a partículas peligrosas, según los CDC. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11706160/how-particulate-respirator-masks-work\">Lea más sobre cómo funcionan las mascarillas N95 y por qué son tan eficaces\u003c/a> (enlace sólo en inglés).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12004846\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12004846\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/WILDFIRE-SMOKE-IN-THE-AIR.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/WILDFIRE-SMOKE-IN-THE-AIR.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/WILDFIRE-SMOKE-IN-THE-AIR-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Humo de incendio forestal en el aire cerca de Pleasant Valley Road en Vacaville, condado de Solano, el 20 de agosto de 2020. \u003ccite>(Peter Arcuni/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Una advertencia: algunos funcionarios de salud pública afirman que las mascarillas de tipo N95 no son para cualquier persona, debido a la posibilidad de que el usuario se equivoque en el ajuste y de que provoquen el tipo de incomodidad que hace que algunas personas sean menos propensas a llevarlas de manera constante,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Veronica Vien, funcionaria de información pública del Departamento de Salud Pública de San Francisco, afirma que las mascarillas como las de tipo N95 pueden resultar incómodas de llevar durante largos periodos de tiempo y deben “proporcionar un sello hermético alrededor de la boca y la nariz del usuario” para funcionar de forma eficaz. “Si una mascarilla N95 le hace sentir mejor, póngasela. Si se siente aún peor, no lo lleve”, afirma Vien.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Balmes, de la UCSF, también señaló que algunos tipos de mascarillas KN95, similares a las mascarillas N95, pero fabricadas en China, también son buenas. Los CDC denominan a este tipo de mascarillas “respirador facial filtrante internacional”, porque \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/publicppe/community-ppe.html?CDC_AA_refVal=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fcoronavirus%2F2019-ncov%2Fprevent-getting-sick%2Ftypes-of-masks.html#anchor_5146932324\">se someten a pruebas según normas internacionales y no según las normas del NIOSH\u003c/a> (enlace sólo en inglés), lo que significa que “pueden no tener los rigurosos requerimientos de garantía de calidad que satisfacen aquellas [mascarillas] que están aprobadas por el NIOSH.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>¿Y las mascarillas tipo N95 con válvulas de exhalación?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Este tipo de mascarillas funcionan bien contra el humo de los incendios forestales, pero son menos eficaces para detener la propagación de enfermedades como el virus del COVID-19, incluso con cinta aislante sobre la válvula. Por lo tanto, si tiene COVID-19, estará exhalando partículas infecciosas hacia los demás a través de esas válvulas como no lo permiten los N95 sin válvulas. Esto se debe a que, si bien estas válvulas impiden que las partículas lleguen a la boca, pueden permitirle respirar el aire que sale de la mascarilla sin filtrarlo.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Uso de una mascarilla quirúrgica contra el COVID-19 y el humo\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Las mascarillas quirúrgicas «protegen de alguna manera contra el humo de los incendios forestales porque están estandarizadas», afirma Balmes. Balmes calcula que las mascarillas quirúrgicas pueden reducir la exposición al humo de los incendios en aproximadamente un 20%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En cuanto a COVID-19, los CDC afirman que las “mascarillas quirúrgicas desechables bien ajustadas” son sólo la segunda mejor mascarilla para protegerse del virus, junto con las de tipo KN95, por detrás de las mascarillas N95.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Uso de una mascarilla de tela para COVID-19 y el humo\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>El uso de mascarillas de tela fue una de las principales medidas adoptadas para limitar la propagación del virus en los primeros días de la pandemia. Pero a estas alturas, los CDC han advertido de que, aunque este tipo de mascarillas “pueden bloquear las gotitas”, no protegen de las partículas pequeñas, por lo que no son una buena opción para protegerse contra el COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Además, las mascarillas de tela no filtran el humo de los incendios forestales. Como señalan los CDC, ni las mascarillas de tela ni las mascarillas quirúrgicas “tienen el tipo de material filtrante que eliminará las partículas de humo”.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>¿La mejor manera de protegerse del humo de los incendios forestales?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Aunque las mascarillas son una buena opción, las autoridades sanitarias afirman que \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1926793/protecting-your-health-from-toxic-wildfire-smoke\">la forma más eficaz de protegerse del humo de los incendios forestales es quedarse en casa lo más posible\u003c/a> (enlace sólo en inglés).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abajo encontrará un mapa interactivo de la calidad del aire realizado por la compañía privada PurpleAir.

That’s also the best mask for protecting oneself from coronavirus,” UCSF pulmonologist and professor of medicine Dr. John Balmes said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) say that well-fitting respirators that are approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH), like \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/types-of-masks.html\">N95s, offer you the “best” kind of protection against hazards in the air, including the droplets that spread COVID. \u003c/a>(A note that \u003ca href=\"https://blogs.cdc.gov/niosh-science-blog/2023/06/29/wildfire-smoke/\">you’ll usually see the CDC officially using the word “respirator” to refer to these kinds of face coverings\u003c/a> that are highly effective against particles, and “masks” to refer to the types of face coverings that are less effective, like cloth masks and surgical masks — more on those below.)[aside postID=science_1926793 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/35/2020/08/RS58543_GettyImages-1334977490-qut-1020x654.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The “95” in N95 also indicates that these respirators “achieve a minimum of 95% filtration efficiency” against dangerous particles, according to the CDC.

He ran the dairy business successfully for over 20 years. But at 45, after losing a son, he decided to try to fulfill a lifelong dream of becoming a lawyer. He moved his family to San Rafael and started over as a student. He worked, studied, raised four kids, and he planted a garden.

I was in my teenage years, and the sound was piercing, it was driving me crazy. And I said, ‘Grandpop, would you please stop whistling.’ His job was picking up bodies from the mortuary at hospitals and taking them to a funeral home.

When he returned from World War II, he started a farm of his own and a family and a garden. He would start at a corner of the huge plot. In a few hours, it was ready for planting. He ran the dairy business successfully for over 20 years. But at 45, after losing a son, he decided to try to fulfill a lifelong dream of becoming a lawyer. He moved his family to San Rafael and started over as a student. He worked, studied, raised four kids, and he planted a garden. Dad was sworn into the Bar on his 53rd birthday and loved every moment that he practiced law.
