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.",

You multiply that by 10, I’d say, in our department because it’s a paramilitary organization. But it’s also an organization where it is not an eight-hour shift. We’re working together. We’re living together.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials have touted the department’s diversity in response to these allegations. At 16 percent female, SFFD is above the national average of 4 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We take great pride in having a diverse department, and women, of course, are a part of that,” said Fire Commission president Francee Covington. “Women hold up half the sky. In any professional environment, people expect to have respect and to give respect.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Hayes-White said she was also proud of the department’s gender diversity, she wants to bring in even more women. She did not, however, disclose a specific plan to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The firefighters union could not be reached for comment.\u003c/p>\n\n",

We can't sit on our hands while these policy failures continue to happen.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the no-confidence vote, morale has probably gone down even more, said Kevin Smith, president of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfbfa.org/\" target=\"_blank\">San Francisco Black Firefighters Association\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're basically putting Band-Aids on what I perceive is a broken system,\" Smith said. \"People are disenchanted and morale continues to stay low because of our leadership issues.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Improvements at the department happen at a snail's pace, said Mariano Elias, president of \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfbomberos.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Los Bomberos\u003c/a>, which represents the city's Latino firefighters. Hayes-White is out of touch with the rank and file and rarely visits firefighters at their stations, Elias said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I feel like she's almost hiding behind the walls of headquarters, where firefighters rarely go,\" Elias said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The morale still sucks,\" said Mike Whooley, a Fire Department paramedic captain who leads the EMS Officers Association. \"There's a sense of hopelessness that nothing is going to change. We do not have people with any level of vision at our upper administration. In this department we are able to accomplish an excellent mission in spite of the lack of leadership.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are not enough firefighters and paramedics, said Keith Baraka, a firefighter who chairs SF ResQ, which advocates for LGBTQ members of the department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When their ability to do their job is hampered by inadequate personnel or constant mandatory overtime, it really adds undue stress and strain to a job rife with those things already,\" Baraka said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor London Breed, president of the Board of Supes and a former member of the Fire Commission who has \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/07/15/s-f-fire-investigation-delays-spark-new-call-for-chiefs-dismissal\" target=\"_blank\">repeatedly called for Hayes-White to be replaced\u003c/a>, says she sympathizes with rank-and-file firefighters and their frustrations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They want to save lives and when they run up against challenges because folks at the top aren't thinking about the future or thinking about the needs of the members who are out there, they run into a lot of problems and there's a lot of frustration,\" Breed said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hayes-White has been with the department for more than a quarter of a century -- that last 12 years as chief. When she was appointed by Mayor Gavin Newsom in 2004, she became the first woman to lead a major U.S. fire department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hayes-White says has no plans to step down. She acknowledges some of the department's equipment problems, but described efforts to have her replaced as \"personality conflicts.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The single biggest problem at the department is its lack of a unified voice, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There can be a confusing message when it becomes personal and there's an assault on one person,\" she said. \"Certainly in a position of leadership, you're not going always please everyone.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The chief says the department has been in a rebuilding phase since the economic downturn led to budget cuts and staff reductions several years ago.

We can't sit on our hands while these policy failures continue to happen.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the no-confidence vote, morale has probably gone down even more, said Kevin Smith, president of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfbfa.org/\" target=\"_blank\">San Francisco Black Firefighters Association\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're basically putting Band-Aids on what I perceive is a broken system,\" Smith said. \"People are disenchanted and morale continues to stay low because of our leadership issues.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Improvements at the department happen at a snail's pace, said Mariano Elias, president of \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfbomberos.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Los Bomberos\u003c/a>, which represents the city's Latino firefighters. Hayes-White is out of touch with the rank and file and rarely visits firefighters at their stations, Elias said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I feel like she's almost hiding behind the walls of headquarters, where firefighters rarely go,\" Elias said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The morale still sucks,\" said Mike Whooley, a Fire Department paramedic captain who leads the EMS Officers Association. \"There's a sense of hopelessness that nothing is going to change.
