Just 19 percent favor Sanchez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“There’s no split where Sanchez is leading,” says Kim Nalder, the political director for the \u003ca href=\"http://www.csus.edu/isr/calspeaks/methods%20and%20technical%20details.html\" target=\"_blank\">CALSPEAKS Opinion Research Center\u003c/a> at Sacramento State, which conducted the poll. “She gets 29 percent from 29- to 34-year-olds. That’s one of her high numbers, whereas Harris is getting a majority in a lot of the subcategories.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[SenatePoll]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans were the most likely to not have their minds made up in the race. Thirty-six percent of GOP voters were undecided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Harris and Sanchez are Democrats. This is the first time two members of the same party have faced each other in a statewide runoff since California adopted the top-two primary. They are running to replace another Democrat, retiring U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poll also asked registered voters' opinions of Proposition 64 -- the November ballot initiative that would legalize recreational marijuana. It found 71 percent in favor of legalization, with 26 percent opposed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg title=\"Cal Counts Poll -Social -02\" src=\"http://www.capradio.org/media/7424839/calcountspoll-social-02.png\" alt=\"Cal Counts Poll -Social -02\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But support for marijuana legalization could decrease somewhat as initiative campaigns begin in earnest. Nalder says a majority of Californians initially supported legalization in 2010, but voters turned against details in Proposition 19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People thought it wasn’t prudent in a lot of ways. And so even though there were a number of voters who were generically in favor of legalizing marijuana, they voted against it,” says Nalder. “I suspect [this year] most voters haven’t gotten out their ballot guide yet and done their homework, and so it could change if they don’t like some of the details in this one.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[Prop64Poll]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 12px auto 6px auto;font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif;font-style: normal;font-variant: normal;font-weight: normal;font-size: 14px;line-height: normal\">\u003ca style=\"text-decoration: underline\" title=\"View California Counts Survey_Part 1 on Scribd\" href=\"https://www.scribd.com/document/323194462/California-Counts-Survey-Part-1#from_embed\">California Counts Survey_Part 1\u003c/a> by \u003ca style=\"text-decoration: underline\" title=\"View Southern California Public Radio's profile on Scribd\" href=\"https://www.scribd.com/publisher/71308244/Southern-California-Public-Radio#from_embed\">Southern California Public Radio\u003c/a> on Scribd\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe id=\"doc_44862\" class=\"scribd_iframe_embed\" src=\"https://www.scribd.com/embeds/323194462/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&access_key=key-i3GoaTS8tY8PQC0xszmI&show_recommendations=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" data-auto-height=\"false\" data-aspect-ratio=\"0.7729220222793488\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Correction\u003c/strong>: Our original story stated that the poll sought to capture the sentiments of all Californians rather than likely or registered voters.

A website was quickly created for homeowners to check their eligibility in the settlement -- something that wasn't done at the national level. Porter and others also spoke with attorneys and judges who needed help understanding the settlement's terms, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Porter told KQED the media were focused on the billions of dollars in settlement money, but Harris’ real achievement was the reforms she was pushing for simultaneously in the California Legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it was passed in 2012, the \u003ca href=\"http://oag.ca.gov/hbor\">Homeowner Bill of Rights\u003c/a> meant that all banks and lenders had to obey the new rules, not just the top five lenders in the settlement. The reforms meant there is now a single point of contact to prevent miscommunication. There are restrictions on dual tracking, which prevents foreclosure on homeowners who are in the process of modifying their loans. And homeowners were given the ability to sue lenders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The servicing standards helped everybody. Every homeowner,\" said Porter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the most part, banks and lenders were making more of an effort to change under the settlement, she said. But when housing counselors were asked how the banks are doing now, four years later, some have said lenders are still violating the reforms that were intended to be permanent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In my view that's grounds for new prosecution,\" said Dayen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10968547\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 1419px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/7185_transform.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-10968547\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/7185_transform.jpg\" alt=\"California Attorney General Kamala Harris speaks during a news conference in 2013.\" width=\"1419\" height=\"1920\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/7185_transform.jpg 1419w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/7185_transform-400x541.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/7185_transform-800x1082.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/7185_transform-1180x1597.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/7185_transform-960x1299.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1419px) 100vw, 1419px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">California Attorney General Kamala Harris speaks during a news conference in 2013. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Since the national settlement, Harris has reached other smaller related agreements with lenders. A spokesman for Harris’ U.S. Senate campaign said she would continue her fight to prevent the risky practices that caused the financial collapse, but he declined to give specifics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris has used her power in other ways. She recently wrote a brief on behalf of a homeowner in a case that went to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2016/05/23/kamala-harris-catches-ride-on-populist-wave-in-california-senate-primary/\">California Supreme Court\u003c/a>.

But we don’t know much about the families who get loan modifications, even those who were helped from the settlement. There’s no race or neighborhood data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would have been great to look at each of the loan modifications and understand who got them -- and, more importantly, who didn’t,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The amount of mortgage lending to African-American and Latino families has dropped since the recession. Banks are almost too cautious in some cases and not lending to some families who would make great homeowners, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosario Frisse saw some friends and neighbors keep their homes because of the settlement. It was a celebration when they did, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beginning in 2009, the year she lost her house, she fought hard on behalf of homeowners. She caravaned with a group called Contra Costa Interfaith Supporting Community Organization to Washington, D.C., to protest the banks, and she spoke at rallies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That didn't help her save her own home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frisse said her husband now wants to move back to Missouri, where there's family. She wants to stay in California. But at the same time there are no pictures on her walls. And there are still unpacked boxes that tell her she’s not home yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2016 KQED.

"content": "\u003cp>When criminal investigators with the \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/\">California Attorney General's Office\u003c/a> searched the home of a former top utility regulator early last year, they uncovered evidence that upended a story state officials and a major electric utility had been telling consumers about the deal to pay for the shutdown of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was big. And Attorney General Kamala Harris, now a \u003ca href=\"http://www.kamalaharris.org/\">candidate for U.S. Senate\u003c/a>, was hailed by consumer activists for her aggressive investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Public Utilities Commission and Southern California Edison had claimed a settlement that left ratepayers with the \u003ca href=\"http://www.kpbs.org/news/2014/nov/20/cpuc-approves-controversial-san-onofre-settlement-/\">$3.3 billion bill\u003c/a> for the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station’s closure was the product of hard-fought negotiations between ratepayer advocates and the power company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when Harris' investigators went through the La Cañada Flintridge home of former CPUC President Michael Peevey after obtaining a \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Agents-search-Michael-Peevey-s-home-in-PG-E-6047151.php\">search warrant\u003c/a>, a different story emerged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investigators \u003ca href=\"http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2015/apr/10/rsg-notes-hotel-bristol-stationery/\">found handwritten notes\u003c/a> that showed Peevey had met secretly with an Edison executive in Poland after the nuclear power plant sprang a radioactive leak and had to be closed. There, they came up with a framework for a San Onofre settlement that closely resembled the final public deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"xAeJ17jSowvjGd64z74rRec7ATDOjWsK\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That was the most remarkable piece of investigative work that I’ve ever seen in the last 40 years,” said San Diego consumer attorney \u003ca href=\"http://www.amslawyers.com/\">Mike Aguirre\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was the kind of work, Aguirre said, that makes people fall in love with their leaders. But now he contends Harris is jilting her constituents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was no follow-up,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aguirre and other consumer activists contend Harris is failing to police state regulators and Edison. While her office's criminal probe launched with a punch when Peevey’s home was searched, the investigation is now dragging on without result, they said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJ5F1yydMtY&feature=youtu.be\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris declined to be interviewed for this story. Her office also declined to answer any questions about the inquiry into the San Onofre settlement. A statement released by her spokesman said, \"Criminal investigations are very serious. To protect the integrity of our investigations, we can’t comment on potential ongoing investigations.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>More Search Warrants Issued\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Six months after Harris’ investigators searched Peevey’s house, the attorney general obtained more \u003ca href=\"http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2015/jul/06/two-new-warrants-served-in-cpuc-case/\">search warrants\u003c/a>. This time they were for the centers of power in the San Onofre case — Edison and the offices of state regulators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the attorney general's investigators never went in, according to court documents. Instead, they served the search warrants to Edison and the CPUC and asked them to turn over all documents and communications related to the San Onofre settlement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You don’t drop it off at the front door and say, ‘Hey, gee, send me your records,’\" said Aguirre, a former federal prosecutor and San Diego city attorney. “That’s the whole point of a search warrant. ... You go in and you execute the search warrant and you seize the records, because you’re concerned they’re going to disappear.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said using the full power of the search warrant is essential if the public is ever to get the truth from state regulators and Edison over how the San Onofre settlement was reached.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s so much momentum behind the unlawful conduct, the search warrant is the only device you can use, unless you can have some sort of wiretap,” Aguirre said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>CPUC Slow to Turn Over Records\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Edison has turned over some records to the State Attorney General's Office. The CPUC, however, has \u003ca href=\"http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2015/aug/25/cpuc-warrant-return-no-records/\">withheld many of the documents\u003c/a> on grounds they don’t have enough resources to work on producing the documents. The agency also is claiming some of the records are privileged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris hasn’t challenged the CPUC’s privilege assertion. \u003ca href=\"http://www.rgrdlaw.com/attorneys-Jason-A-Forge.html\">Jason Forge\u003c/a>, a former San Diego federal prosecutor, said the attorney general would likely prevail if she did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The PUC is the state, and so if the PUC is the state and the state is the client, that’s who controls the privilege. The person at the top of the state is Gov. (Jerry) Brown, and he could waive the privilege,” Forge said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown’s own office has exchanged emails about San Onofre with the CPUC. The CPUC is refusing to release those emails as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only Aguirre has \u003ca href=\"http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2015/nov/13/brown-san-onofre-emails/\">demanded\u003c/a> the CPUC make the communications public, not Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also successfully \u003ca href=\"http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2016/mar/09/kline-out/\">sought the removal\u003c/a> of appeals court Justice J. Anthony Kline from the case because Kline had gone to law school with Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aguirre said it’s puzzling that Harris hasn’t made the same efforts he has.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She has no presence,” Aguirre said. “She has no involvement. She has no leadership. You have no sense of her being out there on the front saying we’re charging forward to do what’s right.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10928706\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/MikeAguierre-800x449.jpg\" alt=\"Former San Diego City Attorney Mike Aguirre talks about his fight to overturn the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station settlement in March, 2015.\" width=\"800\" height=\"449\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10928706\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/MikeAguierre-800x449.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/MikeAguierre-400x225.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/MikeAguierre.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/MikeAguierre-1180x663.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/MikeAguierre-960x539.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Former San Diego City Attorney Mike Aguirre talks about his fight to overturn the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station settlement in March, 2015. \u003ccite>(Katie Schoolov/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Harris has also remained silent on another part of the case. The CPUC’s law firm, \u003ca href=\"https://www.dlapiper.com/en/us/\">DLA Piper\u003c/a>, is representing the agency and its employees.

Jerry Brown, a powerful Democrat, and Michael Peevey, a powerful Democrat, and his wife, an elected powerful Democrat,” Langley said. “I think it’s very distressing to her when she’s running for U.S. Senate and going up against the Democratic Party structure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peevey’s wife is state \u003ca href=\"http://sd25.senate.ca.gov/\">Sen.

And Attorney General Kamala Harris, now a \u003ca href=\"http://www.kamalaharris.org/\">candidate for U.S. Senate\u003c/a>, was hailed by consumer activists for her aggressive investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Public Utilities Commission and Southern California Edison had claimed a settlement that left ratepayers with the \u003ca href=\"http://www.kpbs.org/news/2014/nov/20/cpuc-approves-controversial-san-onofre-settlement-/\">$3.3 billion bill\u003c/a> for the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station’s closure was the product of hard-fought negotiations between ratepayer advocates and the power company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when Harris' investigators went through the La Cañada Flintridge home of former CPUC President Michael Peevey after obtaining a \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Agents-search-Michael-Peevey-s-home-in-PG-E-6047151.php\">search warrant\u003c/a>, a different story emerged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investigators \u003ca href=\"http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2015/apr/10/rsg-notes-hotel-bristol-stationery/\">found handwritten notes\u003c/a> that showed Peevey had met secretly with an Edison executive in Poland after the nuclear power plant sprang a radioactive leak and had to be closed. There, they came up with a framework for a San Onofre settlement that closely resembled the final public deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But now he contends Harris is jilting her constituents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was no follow-up,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aguirre and other consumer activists contend Harris is failing to police state regulators and Edison. While her office's criminal probe launched with a punch when Peevey’s home was searched, the investigation is now dragging on without result, they said.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/xJ5F1yydMtY'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/xJ5F1yydMtY'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Harris declined to be interviewed for this story. Her office also declined to answer any questions about the inquiry into the San Onofre settlement. A statement released by her spokesman said, \"Criminal investigations are very serious. To protect the integrity of our investigations, we can’t comment on potential ongoing investigations.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>More Search Warrants Issued\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Six months after Harris’ investigators searched Peevey’s house, the attorney general obtained more \u003ca href=\"http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2015/jul/06/two-new-warrants-served-in-cpuc-case/\">search warrants\u003c/a>. This time they were for the centers of power in the San Onofre case — Edison and the offices of state regulators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the attorney general's investigators never went in, according to court documents. Instead, they served the search warrants to Edison and the CPUC and asked them to turn over all documents and communications related to the San Onofre settlement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You don’t drop it off at the front door and say, ‘Hey, gee, send me your records,’\" said Aguirre, a former federal prosecutor and San Diego city attorney. “That’s the whole point of a search warrant. ... You go in and you execute the search warrant and you seize the records, because you’re concerned they’re going to disappear.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said using the full power of the search warrant is essential if the public is ever to get the truth from state regulators and Edison over how the San Onofre settlement was reached.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s so much momentum behind the unlawful conduct, the search warrant is the only device you can use, unless you can have some sort of wiretap,” Aguirre said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>CPUC Slow to Turn Over Records\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Edison has turned over some records to the State Attorney General's Office. The CPUC, however, has \u003ca href=\"http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2015/aug/25/cpuc-warrant-return-no-records/\">withheld many of the documents\u003c/a> on grounds they don’t have enough resources to work on producing the documents. The agency also is claiming some of the records are privileged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris hasn’t challenged the CPUC’s privilege assertion. \u003ca href=\"http://www.rgrdlaw.com/attorneys-Jason-A-Forge.html\">Jason Forge\u003c/a>, a former San Diego federal prosecutor, said the attorney general would likely prevail if she did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The PUC is the state, and so if the PUC is the state and the state is the client, that’s who controls the privilege. The person at the top of the state is Gov. (Jerry) Brown, and he could waive the privilege,” Forge said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown’s own office has exchanged emails about San Onofre with the CPUC. The CPUC is refusing to release those emails as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only Aguirre has \u003ca href=\"http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2015/nov/13/brown-san-onofre-emails/\">demanded\u003c/a> the CPUC make the communications public, not Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also successfully \u003ca href=\"http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2016/mar/09/kline-out/\">sought the removal\u003c/a> of appeals court Justice J. Anthony Kline from the case because Kline had gone to law school with Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aguirre said it’s puzzling that Harris hasn’t made the same efforts he has.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She has no presence,” Aguirre said. “She has no involvement. She has no leadership.

The CPUC’s law firm, \u003ca href=\"https://www.dlapiper.com/en/us/\">DLA Piper\u003c/a>, is representing the agency and its employees. Forge said the practice is frowned upon by prosecutors because it intimidates potential whistle-blowers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What happens is the individual employees do not have anyone to whom they can truly turn for legal advice, because they know the same person who is representing them is representing their supervisor, and their supervisor’s supervisor,” Forge said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris could ask a court to require the CPUC to retain separate counsel.

Jerry Brown, a powerful Democrat, and Michael Peevey, a powerful Democrat, and his wife, an elected powerful Democrat,” Langley said. “I think it’s very distressing to her when she’s running for U.S. Senate and going up against the Democratic Party structure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peevey’s wife is state \u003ca href=\"http://sd25.senate.ca.gov/\">Sen.

They were all lawyers, with Marshall eventually becoming a U.S. Supreme Court justice. Harris said their heroism inspired her to study law. After attending Howard University, she went to UC Hastings College of the Law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when she chose to be a prosecutor, she told journalist Katie Couric she had to defend her decision to her family as she would a college thesis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have witnessed what I think is essentially a false choice that has been presented, which is that you are either in favor of public safety, or in favor of civil rights and civil liberties,” Harris said. “You can be both. And that’s how I've approached my work and public service.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, as San Francisco's district attorney, she \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/SAN-FRANCISCO-D-A-won-t-pursue-death-in-cop-2767716.php\">declined\u003c/a> to seek the death penalty against the killer of a police officer. That raised the ire of U.S. Sens. Boxer and Dianne Feinstein and then-Attorney General Bill Lockyer, all Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris went on to write a book called \u003ca href=\"http://californiacorrectionscrisis.blogspot.com/2009/11/book-review-smart-on-crime-by-kamala.html\">“Smart On Crime,”\u003c/a> in which she argued the most effective way to stop crime is through early intervention.
