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.",

The city estimates that once all the local business are up and running, cannabis taxes will add at least $3 million to the city's $33 million annual budget each year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By announcing early on that Lynwood was open for business, Castro said the city got to pick companies with a track record of success in other states. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For me it was an opportunity to bring economic development into the community, and take a business that unfortunately has already been thriving in the black market in our communities and bring it out into the light,\" Castro said. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Real Estate Gets a Boost\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Lynwood’s move to welcome legal pot has also spurred a rush on old, neglected industrial real estate.
