Airlines and banks are suing, and his legislation to ban junk fees altogether has stalled in the Republican-led House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, states are stepping in. California led the way with \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240SB478\">SB 478\u003c/a>, which was signed into law last year and goes into effect July 1. It requires transparency in pricing in nearly all industries except for airlines, which are governed by federal law. Minnesota’s governor also signed \u003ca href=\"https://www.startribune.com/what-minnesotas-new-junk-fees-law-means-for-purchases-and-tipping-at-restaurants/600367549/\">a law this spring banning junk fees\u003c/a>. And lawmakers in \u003ca href=\"https://www.cga.ct.gov/asp/cgabillstatus/cgabillstatus.asp?selBillType=Bill&which_year=2024&bill_num=15\">Connecticut\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2023/S7783/amendment/B\">New York\u003c/a> are considering similar legislation.[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Sen. Bill Dodd (D-Napa) was one of the law’s authors. He said the issue is personal to him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A year ago, I took my three adult sons to the playoff game for the Warriors and the Kings,” he said. “And it was just absolutely — I mean, they were pretty expensive tickets — but nevertheless, the amount that came as the fee, somewhere around $700 or $800, just absolutely blew my mind.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dodd’s experience is not unusual, according to Chuck Bell, an advocate at Consumer Reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People deserve to know upfront how much something is going to cost,” he said. “It doesn’t necessarily save them money. It doesn’t require any business to lower their prices just to have transparent pricing. But it’s something that’s fair and gives the consumer peace of mind and economic security.”[aside postID=\"news_11985689,news_11978745,forum_2010101906095\" label=”Related Coverage”]Still, businesses of all kinds pushed back when lawmakers were considering the bill, arguing that false advertising is already banned in California and that in many industries, prices are already heavily regulated. One main point of contention for the California Chamber of Commerce and others was the provision allowing private citizens — not just the government — to sue if they encounter junk fees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the restaurant industry also lobbied lawmakers for a carveout in recent weeks, saying they didn’t know when the legislation was being debated last year that it included menu charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco restaurant owner Laurie Thomas, who is also the executive director of the Golden Gate Restaurant Association, said banning restaurants from adding mandatory fees — including automatic gratuity — would force them to include those extra costs in menu prices or pay employees less.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can raise the prices. But then we anticipate consumers will do what my husband and I do, like, ‘Oh my God, that was expensive. We can’t do that twice a week anymore,’” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thomas and other industry advocates argue that diners react better to a surcharge at the end of the meal than to higher prices for things like burgers and salads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not everyone agrees. One popular San Francisco restaurant has taken the opposite approach, declaring itself tip-free and noting at the top of its menu that all employees receive a living wage and full benefits, including paid parental and sick leave, as well as a 401(k) with an employer match.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11992407\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11992407\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/240628-JUNK-FEES-LAW-MD-03-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/240628-JUNK-FEES-LAW-MD-03-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/240628-JUNK-FEES-LAW-MD-03-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/240628-JUNK-FEES-LAW-MD-03-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/240628-JUNK-FEES-LAW-MD-03-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/240628-JUNK-FEES-LAW-MD-03-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/240628-JUNK-FEES-LAW-MD-03-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Monica Huz (right) waits on tables at Zazie in San Francisco on June 28, 2024. \u003ccite>(Martin do Nascimento/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The restaurant is Zazie, a French bistro in Cole Valley known for its brunch menu.

And she appreciates something else, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think part of why my family is so supportive of this business is because of how they take care of their employees, and I think the transparency at the top of the menu is nice to know what it’s going towards,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Zazie’s unique structure will likely remain an exception.

One main point of contention for the California Chamber of Commerce and others was the provision allowing private citizens — not just the government — to sue if they encounter junk fees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the restaurant industry also lobbied lawmakers for a carveout in recent weeks, saying they didn’t know when the legislation was being debated last year that it included menu charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco restaurant owner Laurie Thomas, who is also the executive director of the Golden Gate Restaurant Association, said banning restaurants from adding mandatory fees — including automatic gratuity — would force them to include those extra costs in menu prices or pay employees less.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can raise the prices. But then we anticipate consumers will do what my husband and I do, like, ‘Oh my God, that was expensive. We can’t do that twice a week anymore,’” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thomas and other industry advocates argue that diners react better to a surcharge at the end of the meal than to higher prices for things like burgers and salads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not everyone agrees. One popular San Francisco restaurant has taken the opposite approach, declaring itself tip-free and noting at the top of its menu that all employees receive a living wage and full benefits, including paid parental and sick leave, as well as a 401(k) with an employer match.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11992407\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11992407\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/240628-JUNK-FEES-LAW-MD-03-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/240628-JUNK-FEES-LAW-MD-03-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/240628-JUNK-FEES-LAW-MD-03-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/240628-JUNK-FEES-LAW-MD-03-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/240628-JUNK-FEES-LAW-MD-03-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/240628-JUNK-FEES-LAW-MD-03-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/240628-JUNK-FEES-LAW-MD-03-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Monica Huz (right) waits on tables at Zazie in San Francisco on June 28, 2024. \u003ccite>(Martin do Nascimento/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The restaurant is Zazie, a French bistro in Cole Valley known for its brunch menu.

The proposal introduced by Mayor Sheng Thao’s office includes $63 million in one-time funds that could \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11987568/oakland-coliseum-sale-expected-to-help-city-avoid-drastic-budget-cuts\">come from the Coliseum sale\u003c/a> and a contingency plan in the event those funds aren’t available by September. A second proposal, requested by some council members, cuts those funds from the outset.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ahead of the meeting on Friday, Councilmember Janani Ramachandran said the budget that counts on proceeds from the Coliseum sale is a “nonstarter” because the city is “nowhere near having a deal signed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The other budget that’s presented as an alternative is really the only option that we have to work with,” she told KQED. “To be presented with a drastically new budget three days before the day we have to vote is outrageous and unheard of.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both the contingency and the budget that forgoes Coliseum revenue completely would include significant public safety funding reductions. In addition to hiring freezes on fire and police department positions already included in the main budget proposal, the building of a new fire station would be deferred.

The proposal introduced by Mayor Sheng Thao’s office includes $63 million in one-time funds that could \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11987568/oakland-coliseum-sale-expected-to-help-city-avoid-drastic-budget-cuts\">come from the Coliseum sale\u003c/a> and a contingency plan in the event those funds aren’t available by September. A second proposal, requested by some council members, cuts those funds from the outset.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ahead of the meeting on Friday, Councilmember Janani Ramachandran said the budget that counts on proceeds from the Coliseum sale is a “nonstarter” because the city is “nowhere near having a deal signed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

On Wednesday, the daughter of a man who was tied up in that investigation suggested it was politically motivated and emblematic of a “corrupt game of local politics.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jennifer Tran, president of the Oakland Vietnamese Chamber of Commerce and a congressional candidate, said she believes the straw donation probe launched years ago by local and state political watchdogs into California Waste Solutions was fueled by a desire for leverage against the family who owns the recycling company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FBI has not disclosed what it was searching for in the raids, which targeted Thao’s home, Cal Waste’s waterfront offices and two homes connected to the Duong family. However, the raids raised renewed questions about the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11991426/oakland-fbi-raids-also-targeted-this-powerful-family-heres-what-we-know\">politically connected family\u003c/a> and an investigation into campaign donations linked to Cal Waste and the son of founder David Duong, Andy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a probable cause report filed in 2021, the California Fair Political Practices Commission and Oakland Public Ethics Commission alleged that Cal Waste was the “true source” of at least 93 donations filed under different peoples’ names — including seven by Tran’s father, Phuc Tran — in a “campaign contribution laundering scheme,” according to court records first obtained by the Oaklandside. The investigation is pending, according to the commission’s case portal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tran, who is running for the House seat that will be vacated by Rep.
