"content": "\u003cp>San Francisco Mayor London Breed cruised to reelection on Tuesday, winning her first full term against a field of little-known opponents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed, who won a special election in 2018 to serve the remainder of late Mayor Ed Lee’s term, declared victory less than 90 minutes after the polls closed Tuesday evening. She finished the night with more than two-thirds of first-place votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Thank you for honoring me with four more years as mayor!” she told a cheering crowd at her election party. “Every single day that I get up, I’m thinking, ‘What are we going to do to make San Francisco better now and for generations to come?’ I grew up in this city and in poverty and I never thought that in my life that I would have the opportunity to serve in this capacity, and I don’t take it lightly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With no strong progressive candidate stepping forward to challenge her, Breed’s reelection was never really in doubt. Instead, the ultimate success of her night — and the real referendum on her performance as mayor thus far — will be determined by the margin of her victory and the results of a handful of local races and ballot measures that she supported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed took office in July 2018, after winning a bitterly fought campaign against former state Sen. Mark Leno and Supervisor Jane Kim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less than a year and a half later, no established progressive candidate challenged Breed for reelection.

She finished the night with more than two-thirds of first-place votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Thank you for honoring me with four more years as mayor!” she told a cheering crowd at her election party. “Every single day that I get up, I’m thinking, ‘What are we going to do to make San Francisco better now and for generations to come?’ I grew up in this city and in poverty and I never thought that in my life that I would have the opportunity to serve in this capacity, and I don’t take it lightly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With no strong progressive candidate stepping forward to challenge her, Breed’s reelection was never really in doubt. Instead, the ultimate success of her night — and the real referendum on her performance as mayor thus far — will be determined by the margin of her victory and the results of a handful of local races and ballot measures that she supported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed took office in July 2018, after winning a bitterly fought campaign against former state Sen.

"content": "\u003cp>President Donald Trump threatened to unleash the Environmental Protection Agency on San Francisco Wednesday after a California visit during which he blamed the homelessness crisis on “liberal” policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president alleged that used needles and other waste from San Francisco’s homeless population is flowing through storm drains into the ocean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re in total violation — we’re going to be giving them a notice very soon,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One as he returned to Washington. “They have to clean it up. We can’t have our cities going to hell.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An EPA spokesperson said the agency doesn’t “comment on potential enforcement actions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, Mayor London Breed called Trump’s remarks “ridiculous” and said storm drain debris is filtered out at city wastewater treatment plants so that none flows “into the bay or ocean.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Karri Ving, S.F. wastewater manager\"]‘We have a system that’s robust and effective in capturing stormwater, conveying it to our treatment plants and removing any type of sediment and trash.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State and local water regulators agreed, saying there’s no merit to the president’s accusations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The reality is quite the opposite,” said Karri Ving, who heads the city’s wastewater management program. “We have a system that’s robust and effective in capturing stormwater, conveying it to our treatment plants and removing any type of sediment and trash.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s ironic, she added, that Trump is picking on San Francisco, which is one of the few western cities that treats its stormwater.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco has long struggled with problems of human waste and needles on the streets in the Tenderloin district, where many addicts and homeless people congregate. The city set up public toilets and last year announced the formation of a special six-person “poop patrol” team to clean up human waste.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city also announced funding to hire people to pick up used needles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of those needles came from the city itself. The health department hands out an estimated 400,000 clean syringes a month under programs designed to reduce the risk of HIV and other infections for drug users who might otherwise share contaminated needles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As far as I know, needle waste going into the bay has never been an issue,” Rachel Kagan, a spokeswoman for the city’s Department of Public Health, said in an email. She acknowledged that San Francisco, like many other cities, has its fair share of needle litter, but “we have made tremendous progress cleaning up needles [and] there’s no connection to the ocean or bay.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump, whose two-day fundraising visit to California ended Wednesday, has been bashing California’s “liberal establishment” for the surge in homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, Trump said his administration “can’t let Los Angeles, San Francisco and numerous other cities destroy themselves by allowing what’s happening,” and vowed to do something about the problem. But at the time, he only mentioned creating a task force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A day earlier, Gov. Gavin Newsom and mayors of the state’s 13 largest cities sent Trump a letter asking his administration to provide more aid to fight homelessness, including the request for an additional 50,000 housing vouchers for the poor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson rejected the housing aid request in a letter Wednesday, saying that California’s policies on law enforcement, an over-regulated housing market and sanctuary policies regarding people living in the country illegally have driven up housing costs while increasing demand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Your letter seeks more federal dollars for California from hardworking American taxpayers but fails to admit that your state and local policies have played a major role in creating the current crisis,” Carson wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carson said nearly 500,000 California households already receive some kind of federal housing assistance and said “federal taxpayers are clearly doing their part to help solve the crisis.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also said ending homelessness has been a “top priority” of the administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carson toured a Potrero Hill public housing project in San Francisco on Tuesday and said he wanted to work with local governments to address homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t see any reason quite frankly why we have to have homelessness in this country,” Carson said. “Given the resources that we have. Given the intellect. The ability to innovate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"more homelessness coverage\" tag=\"homelessness\"]In her statement, Breed said the city is fighting homelessness by adding 1,000 beds to shelters, and wants to pass a $600 million bond to build affordable housing and increase services for people with addiction and mental illness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, Carson also toured a Skid Row shelter in Los Angeles and called for cooperation among federal, state and local governments. But he was noncommittal about what he could offer, saying the administration was considering all options, including re-using vacant federal buildings for shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before additional money is allocated, Carson said there needs to be more effective use of available housing vouchers. Many of those, including 35% designated for veterans, are not being used, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carson targeted what he considered some of the main hurdles to providing more housing: myriad regulations and opposition from people who don’t want poor people living nearby. He said his agency might offer grant preferences to cities that try to remove those barriers to affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With close to 60,000 homeless people in Los Angeles County, tents are clustered on sidewalks throughout the city, in vacant lots and under highway bridges. The state’s other metropolitan areas have similar situations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Courts have limited what cities can do to clean up encampments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted to join an effort to get the U.S. Supreme Court to review a decision that restricts efforts to bar homeless people from sleeping on sidewalks in Western states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board voted 3-2 to file a motion supporting Boise, Idaho, in its efforts to overturn a ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that said it was unconstitutional to arrest or otherwise sanction homeless people who sleep on sidewalks when there aren’t enough shelter beds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas voted in favor, saying he was fed up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The status quo is untenable,” he said. “We need to call this what it is — a state of emergency,” Ridley-Thomas said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s Peter Jon Shuler contributed reporting.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

We can’t have our cities going to hell.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An EPA spokesperson said the agency doesn’t “comment on potential enforcement actions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, Mayor London Breed called Trump’s remarks “ridiculous” and said storm drain debris is filtered out at city wastewater treatment plants so that none flows “into the bay or ocean.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The city set up public toilets and last year announced the formation of a special six-person “poop patrol” team to clean up human waste.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city also announced funding to hire people to pick up used needles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of those needles came from the city itself. The health department hands out an estimated 400,000 clean syringes a month under programs designed to reduce the risk of HIV and other infections for drug users who might otherwise share contaminated needles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As far as I know, needle waste going into the bay has never been an issue,” Rachel Kagan, a spokeswoman for the city’s Department of Public Health, said in an email. She acknowledged that San Francisco, like many other cities, has its fair share of needle litter, but “we have made tremendous progress cleaning up needles [and] there’s no connection to the ocean or bay.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump, whose two-day fundraising visit to California ended Wednesday, has been bashing California’s “liberal establishment” for the surge in homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, Trump said his administration “can’t let Los Angeles, San Francisco and numerous other cities destroy themselves by allowing what’s happening,” and vowed to do something about the problem. But at the time, he only mentioned creating a task force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A day earlier, Gov. Gavin Newsom and mayors of the state’s 13 largest cities sent Trump a letter asking his administration to provide more aid to fight homelessness, including the request for an additional 50,000 housing vouchers for the poor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson rejected the housing aid request in a letter Wednesday, saying that California’s policies on law enforcement, an over-regulated housing market and sanctuary policies regarding people living in the country illegally have driven up housing costs while increasing demand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Your letter seeks more federal dollars for California from hardworking American taxpayers but fails to admit that your state and local policies have played a major role in creating the current crisis,” Carson wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carson said nearly 500,000 California households already receive some kind of federal housing assistance and said “federal taxpayers are clearly doing their part to help solve the crisis.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also said ending homelessness has been a “top priority” of the administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carson toured a Potrero Hill public housing project in San Francisco on Tuesday and said he wanted to work with local governments to address homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t see any reason quite frankly why we have to have homelessness in this country,” Carson said. “Given the resources that we have. Given the intellect. The ability to innovate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But he was noncommittal about what he could offer, saying the administration was considering all options, including re-using vacant federal buildings for shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before additional money is allocated, Carson said there needs to be more effective use of available housing vouchers. Many of those, including 35% designated for veterans, are not being used, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carson targeted what he considered some of the main hurdles to providing more housing: myriad regulations and opposition from people who don’t want poor people living nearby.

City officials are arguing that San Francisco could provide power that is more affordable, more reliable and safer than PG&E does in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/pge\">PG&E Bankruptcy: How We Got Here\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/pge\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://u.s.kqed.net/2019/01/14/PGEWorkersLift.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“There has been a lack of investment in infrastructure over the course of the last decade by PG&E,” Herrera said. “And that is, and was, motivated primarily by pursuit of profit. That’s not something that San Francisco is going to be pursuing. We’re not interested in profit. We’re interested in providing safe affordable power to ratepayers rather than trying to make sure that stockholders are getting some great rate of return on their investment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The money for the PG&E equipment would come from bonds approved by voters in June 2018, and would be paid off by customers through their electric bill. Customer rates would be the same or lower than current PG&E rates, according to San Francisco Public Utilities Commission’s Assistant General Manager for Power Barbara Hale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The transparency and the accountability that residents see because their local government is operating the system is much stronger,” Hale explained. “You’re able to stand at City Hall and give comment in a way that’s much more effective than going to a PG&E shareholder meeting or going to a California Public Utilities Commission meeting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco’s $2.5 billion offering for the infrastructure is “the result of detailed financial analysis conducted by industry experts and encompassing an extensive examination into the company’s assets in San Francisco,” Breed and Herrera said in a joint statement. “The offer we are putting forth is competitive, fair and equitable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID= \"news_11747148\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city is also hoping the company’s bankruptcy proceedings will provide additional incentive to accept the offer, by providing “significant cash infusion” to debtors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But PG&E doesn’t seem very interested.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We all agree on the importance of continuing to serve the citizens of San Francisco with safe, clean, affordable and reliable energy,” PG&E said in a statement. “PG&E has been a part of San Francisco since the company’s founding more than a century ago, and while we don’t believe municipalization is in the best interests of our customers and stakeholders, we are committed to working with the City and will remain open to communication on this issue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera']‘We’re not interested in profit. We’re interested in providing safe affordable power to ratepayers rather than trying to make sure that stockholders are getting some great rate of return on their investment.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another potential barrier is pushback from the union representing PG&E workers, IBEW Local 1245. The city has offered to hire people who worked for PG&E in San Francisco if the deal goes through, which the union said would hurt their pensions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are significant penalties for not making age 55 with 30 years of service,” said Tom Dalzell, the union’s Business Manager. He said the pension plan “is compromised because they did not make it to retirement age and then they start all over with a city where you have to work a number of years until you vest in the pension.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Herrera argued the city would be able to provide a strong enough benefits package to make up the difference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Michael Wara, an energy policy researcher at Stanford University, private energy companies hardly ever voluntarily sell their infrastructure to municipalities. More often, municipalities will forcibly take over the infrastructure by exerting eminent domain, and then pay the utility for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the most recent examples of this in California is \u003ca href=\"https://www.smud.org/en/Corporate/About-us/Company-Information/Our-History\">Sacramento’s takeover\u003c/a> of PG&E infrastructure in the 1940s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sacramento decided to condemn the wires and have a municipal utility,” Wara said. “The fight though occurs over how much to pay for those wires in Sacramento’s case. I believe there was more than two decades of litigation over the conditions and the compensation for condemning the wires.”[aside tag='wildfires' label='More Coverage']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if PG&E agrees to sell to San Francisco, Wara said the process could drag out the utility’s bankruptcy proceedings because the sale would have to be final in order for the bankruptcy to be resolved. It could also delay payouts to victims of wildfires started by PG&E equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The potential sale would require approval from the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, and the California Public Utilities Commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deal \u003cem>could\u003c/em> also drive up rates for PG&E customers elsewhere in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“San Francisco has no wildfire risk obviously and other areas have a lot of it,” Wara said. “So if you remove the customers that don’t create that risk you’re going to maybe raise costs for other customers. I’m not saying that’s certain, but it’s possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hale, San Francisco Public Utilities Commission’s Assistant General Manager for Power, acknowledged rate increases could occur.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003c/b>“We know that there is an impact on other remaining customers of PG&E,” Hale said. “But our estimates show that to be a role of a relatively small amount that we think can be addressed in the approach taken by the regulators to how the proceeds of the sale are distributed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, San Francisco is such a huge part of PG&E’s customer base, according to Wara, the utility might not be a viable company without it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Read San Francisco’s offer letter to PG&E below. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[documentcloud url=\"http://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6388160-PGE-Sale-Offer.html\" responsive=true]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

The funding comes from a new $10 million, two-year pilot program, announced Monday — on the first day of school — by San Francisco Mayor London Breed, in an effort to retain educators at schools with high teacher turnover.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Latrice Simmons, educator at Dr. George Washington Carver Elementary School\"]'A lot of us are having a hard time staying in the neighborhoods we teach in.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This comes in addition to the $2,000 annual stipends that teachers at these schools already receive on top of their base salaries, a bump stemming from a 2008 voter-approved bond. In the coming fiscal year, those educators will also receive an additional $2,500, bringing their total stipend amount to $7,500, the mayor's office said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Students in San Francisco deserve a high-quality education, regardless of where they live or go to school,\" Breed said in a statement. \"San Francisco is an expensive place to live and we hope that these stipends will help our educators afford the cost of living so that they can be part of the community in which they work.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California's housing crisis has taken a particularly tough toll on the state's educators, particularly those living and working in expensive coastal regions, where average teaching salaries have generally failed to keep pace with skyrocketing rents or home prices and other living costs. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"#property\">[Check out the interactive teacher-housing cost calulator tool below.]\u003c/a>\n\u003c/p>\u003cp>Almost nowhere is this more apparent than in notoriously expensive San Francisco. Here, the average SFUSD teacher makes nearly $84,000, according to the district, a salary that's slightly higher than the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sacbee.com/news/databases/article3187034.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">average for teachers statewide\u003c/a> but still hardly enough to cover expenses in a city where rents alone typically exceed $3,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Relatively low pay, on top of a full-fledged housing crisis is a big reason why teachers leave the district,\" said Jenny Lam, a San Francisco Board of Education commissioner, who also serves as Breed's education adviser. \"We see that the turnover rate at high-potential schools is higher. So this is an opportunity to focus in on [those] schools. ... The goal is to continue building retention over time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed's new stipend plan comes on the heels of recent efforts by her administration to create more affordable housing for teachers in the city.

In the coming fiscal year, those educators will also receive an additional $2,500, bringing their total stipend amount to $7,500, the mayor's office said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Students in San Francisco deserve a high-quality education, regardless of where they live or go to school,\" Breed said in a statement. \"San Francisco is an expensive place to live and we hope that these stipends will help our educators afford the cost of living so that they can be part of the community in which they work.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California's housing crisis has taken a particularly tough toll on the state's educators, particularly those living and working in expensive coastal regions, where average teaching salaries have generally failed to keep pace with skyrocketing rents or home prices and other living costs. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"#property\">[Check out the interactive teacher-housing cost calulator tool below.]\u003c/a>\n\u003c/p>\u003cp>Almost nowhere is this more apparent than in notoriously expensive San Francisco. Here, the average SFUSD teacher makes nearly $84,000, according to the district, a salary that's slightly higher than the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sacbee.com/news/databases/article3187034.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">average for teachers statewide\u003c/a> but still hardly enough to cover expenses in a city where rents alone typically exceed $3,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Relatively low pay, on top of a full-fledged housing crisis is a big reason why teachers leave the district,\" said Jenny Lam, a San Francisco Board of Education commissioner, who also serves as Breed's education adviser. \"We see that the turnover rate at high-potential schools is higher. So this is an opportunity to focus in on [those] schools. ... The goal is to continue building retention over time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed's new stipend plan comes on the heels of recent efforts by her administration to create more affordable housing for teachers in the city.
