A cluster of tents, tarps and bicycles in front of the Cutting Ball Theater obstructed most of the sidewalk on Taylor Street, and on Turk Street, a woman sat on the curb wrapped in a plastic trash bag.

The poor street conditions, exacerbated by San Francisco’s yearslong battle to support unhoused residents while simultaneously curtailing drug dealing and drug overdoses, have led the neighborhood’s small businesses to struggle. Some residents and tourists feel unsafe on the neighborhood’s streets.

Daniel Lurie’s plan would give people on the street a choice: enter treatment or face arrest. A day after Lurie, Mark Farrell released a similar plan. If elected, Farrell would request more California Army National Guard soldiers in the Tenderloin and South of Market. The plans are comparable to Mayor London Breed’s 2021 Tenderloin state of emergency, which led to the creation of the Tenderloin Center, a place for drug users to connect with harm reduction services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city’s drug epidemic worsened despite Breed’s declaration.[aside postID=\"news_11979508,news_11972898,news_11975156\" label=\"Related Stories\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco recorded 806 drug overdose deaths in 2023, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11972898/2023-was-san-franciscos-deadliest-year-for-drug-overdoses-new-data-confirms\">deadliest year on record\u003c/a>. About 80% of the deaths were fentanyl-related. During 2022’s redistricting, the Tenderloin was added to District 5, which now includes Japantown, Western Addition and Haight Ashbury. The overdose data and discontent over street conditions make Dean Preston, the district representative on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, vulnerable in his November reelection bid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Preston, the board’s only Democratic Socialist who said he is focused on tenants rights and alternatives to policing, has two opponents. Bilal Mahmood, a tech entrepreneur, said he wants to digitize City Hall to reduce red tape. Autumn Looijen, who co-launched San Francisco’s school board recall in 2022, told KQED she will concentrate on thwarting the fentanyl crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Preston and his challengers squabble over ideological differences, residents and business owners interviewed for this story said they want elected officials to take a new approach to cleaning up the Tenderloin’s streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Freddy Martin, a congregational life and community engagement manager at Glide, has lived in the Tenderloin for more than 20 years. He said getting people into housing should be a priority, but making sure they have access to wraparound mental health and addiction resources is key to keeping them off of the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to be dealing with the trauma and issues people have that perpetuate the conditions they struggle with,” Martin said. “Not having their mental health issues addressed or access to healthcare is part of the problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11982331\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/240405-District5BOSRedistricting-001-BL_qut.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11982331\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/240405-District5BOSRedistricting-001-BL_qut.jpg\" alt=\"A tourist bus, a person on a bike and a vehicle drive down a street with murals painted on the sides of buildings.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/240405-District5BOSRedistricting-001-BL_qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/240405-District5BOSRedistricting-001-BL_qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/240405-District5BOSRedistricting-001-BL_qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/240405-District5BOSRedistricting-001-BL_qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/240405-District5BOSRedistricting-001-BL_qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A tourist bus passes through the Tenderloin on April 5, 2024. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>According to Martin, elected officials should be asking Tenderloin community members what housing and drug rehabilitation services they need if they want to see a positive, permanent change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These issues can’t be solved in the chambers in City Hall or in a meeting once a week,” he said. “You have to go to where people are at and meet them at that level.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Filling vacant supportive housing units is a solution, Martin believes. According to the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing, \u003ca href=\"https://hsh.sfgov.org/about/research-and-reports/hrs-data/vacancies-in-permanent-supportive-housing/\">there are more than 600 vacancies\u003c/a>. This is down from just over 1,000 in September when Preston \u003ca href=\"https://sfgov.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=12321199&GUID=F2C16A39-FA19-4503-9090-3F024FECA13B\">passed a resolution\u003c/a> urging HSH to reduce the number of vacant units by 50% in 90 days. As of this month, about \u003ca href=\"https://hsh.sfgov.org/about/research-and-reports/hrs-data/vacancies-in-permanent-supportive-housing/\">36% of the vacancies have been filled\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have the homes; we have a lot of the resources. We just need to be more aggressive and bold,” said Preston, who has opposed Breed’s drug and homelessness policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mahmood, who worked as a policy analyst in the Obama Administration, believes it’s too difficult for people to acquire supportive housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the reasons people are in the streets is because it’s easier to sleep in a tent than it is to apply to get a bed,” he told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mahmood, who rents in the Tenderloin, said he would advocate for a technology-based strategy to track homeless people, identify their health status and get them into housing. He has argued that the city’s existing tracking system is ineffective and outdated. At 10:30 a.m. today, he is planning to unveil his plan to end open-air drug markets at the corner of Market and Seventh streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parker-Dalton, 39, said that the city needs to designate spaces for those who choose not to be housed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have people that don’t want to be inside,” the decadelong Tenderloin resident said. “They don’t want to be confined. They have been on the streets for as long as they can remember.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not necessarily saying put them in housing, but I believe safe camping sites could be a solution.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin said harm reduction strategies are necessary to address the fentanyl crisis. He would like to see the Tenderloin Center, which closed in December 2022, return. The site was part of Breed’s plan to reduce overdose deaths and increase access to addiction services. According to city data, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sf.gov/data/reducing-fatal-and-non-fatal-overdoses-tenderloin#overdose-reversals-by-emergency-medical-services\">333 overdoses were reversed\u003c/a> at the Tenderloin Center.

He said when he moved into the space in 2016, it was a thriving commercial corridor. Now, there are empty storefronts on his block. Bautista said groups like the Tenderloin Community Benefit District’s Clean Team remove debris and respond to 311 calls, but their efforts aren’t enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m in Little Saigon, and we have some of the best restaurants in the city,” Bautista said. “People would come from all over the city to eat at these restaurants.

About 80% of the deaths were fentanyl-related. During 2022’s redistricting, the Tenderloin was added to District 5, which now includes Japantown, Western Addition and Haight Ashbury. The overdose data and discontent over street conditions make Dean Preston, the district representative on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, vulnerable in his November reelection bid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Preston, the board’s only Democratic Socialist who said he is focused on tenants rights and alternatives to policing, has two opponents. Bilal Mahmood, a tech entrepreneur, said he wants to digitize City Hall to reduce red tape. Autumn Looijen, who co-launched San Francisco’s school board recall in 2022, told KQED she will concentrate on thwarting the fentanyl crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Preston and his challengers squabble over ideological differences, residents and business owners interviewed for this story said they want elected officials to take a new approach to cleaning up the Tenderloin’s streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Freddy Martin, a congregational life and community engagement manager at Glide, has lived in the Tenderloin for more than 20 years. He said getting people into housing should be a priority, but making sure they have access to wraparound mental health and addiction resources is key to keeping them off of the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to be dealing with the trauma and issues people have that perpetuate the conditions they struggle with,” Martin said. “Not having their mental health issues addressed or access to healthcare is part of the problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11982331\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/240405-District5BOSRedistricting-001-BL_qut.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11982331\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/240405-District5BOSRedistricting-001-BL_qut.jpg\" alt=\"A tourist bus, a person on a bike and a vehicle drive down a street with murals painted on the sides of buildings.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/240405-District5BOSRedistricting-001-BL_qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/240405-District5BOSRedistricting-001-BL_qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/240405-District5BOSRedistricting-001-BL_qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/240405-District5BOSRedistricting-001-BL_qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/240405-District5BOSRedistricting-001-BL_qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A tourist bus passes through the Tenderloin on April 5, 2024. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>According to Martin, elected officials should be asking Tenderloin community members what housing and drug rehabilitation services they need if they want to see a positive, permanent change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These issues can’t be solved in the chambers in City Hall or in a meeting once a week,” he said. “You have to go to where people are at and meet them at that level.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Filling vacant supportive housing units is a solution, Martin believes. According to the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing, \u003ca href=\"https://hsh.sfgov.org/about/research-and-reports/hrs-data/vacancies-in-permanent-supportive-housing/\">there are more than 600 vacancies\u003c/a>. This is down from just over 1,000 in September when Preston \u003ca href=\"https://sfgov.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=12321199&GUID=F2C16A39-FA19-4503-9090-3F024FECA13B\">passed a resolution\u003c/a> urging HSH to reduce the number of vacant units by 50% in 90 days. As of this month, about \u003ca href=\"https://hsh.sfgov.org/about/research-and-reports/hrs-data/vacancies-in-permanent-supportive-housing/\">36% of the vacancies have been filled\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have the homes; we have a lot of the resources. We just need to be more aggressive and bold,” said Preston, who has opposed Breed’s drug and homelessness policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mahmood, who worked as a policy analyst in the Obama Administration, believes it’s too difficult for people to acquire supportive housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the reasons people are in the streets is because it’s easier to sleep in a tent than it is to apply to get a bed,” he told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mahmood, who rents in the Tenderloin, said he would advocate for a technology-based strategy to track homeless people, identify their health status and get them into housing. He has argued that the city’s existing tracking system is ineffective and outdated. At 10:30 a.m. today, he is planning to unveil his plan to end open-air drug markets at the corner of Market and Seventh streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parker-Dalton, 39, said that the city needs to designate spaces for those who choose not to be housed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have people that don’t want to be inside,” the decadelong Tenderloin resident said. “They don’t want to be confined. They have been on the streets for as long as they can remember.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not necessarily saying put them in housing, but I believe safe camping sites could be a solution.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin said harm reduction strategies are necessary to address the fentanyl crisis. He would like to see the Tenderloin Center, which closed in December 2022, return. The site was part of Breed’s plan to reduce overdose deaths and increase access to addiction services. According to city data, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sf.gov/data/reducing-fatal-and-non-fatal-overdoses-tenderloin#overdose-reversals-by-emergency-medical-services\">333 overdoses were reversed\u003c/a> at the Tenderloin Center.

"content": "\u003cp>A handful of proposals to reduce retail theft in California cleared an initial hurdle at the state capitol on Tuesday, hours after Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas and a bipartisan group of lawmakers unveiled the legislation they touted as a sensible approach to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11975692/prop-47s-impact-on-californias-criminal-justice-system\">curb shoplifting and commercial robberies in the state\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Assembly is moving forward a comprehensive, balanced, and bipartisan legislative package that seeks to strengthen public safety, protect shoppers and business owners across California and assure that we deliver real, visible, quality of life improvements to Californians,” Rivas (D-Salinas) said at a press conference in Sacramento.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas\"]‘For us it’s understanding the root causes of this problem, which is complex, and for us, each one of these bills gets after those layers of complexity.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bills, which passed the Assembly Public Safety committee, include provisions to toughen penalties and make it easier for law enforcement to arrest and charge theft suspects. Taken together, they represent a bold and controversial legislative vision: that retail theft can be reduced without changing California’s landmark criminal justice reform act, Proposition 47.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11980483,news_11979533,news_11975692\" label=\"Related Stories\"]That ballot measure, approved by voters in 2014, has been the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11975753/critics-say-prop-47-has-fueled-a-spike-in-property-crime-the-data-do-not-show-that\">target of critics who say it’s led to a spike in property crime\u003c/a> from luxury mall outlets to neighborhood pharmacies, though state data does not fully support this claim. Proposition 47 downgraded charges for low-level drug possession and property theft from felonies to misdemeanors. As a result, the state has saved hundreds of millions of dollars in prison and jail costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11975692/prop-47s-impact-on-californias-criminal-justice-system\">KQED analysis of the measure and retail theft found\u003c/a> that the arrest rate for shoplifting crimes has declined in the last decade. Many of the most high-profile and brazen robberies, meanwhile, are driven by organized crime rings and generally fall outside the purview of Proposition 47.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no turning back the clock on the criminal justice reforms that have been enacted,” Rivas said on Tuesday. “For us, it’s understanding the root causes of this problem, which is complex, and for us, each one of these bills gets after those layers of complexity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240AB2943\">Assembly Bill 2943\u003c/a>, written by Rivas and Assemblymember Rick Chavez Zbur (D-Hollywood), would allow police officers to make an arrest for shoplifting without directly witnessing the alleged crime. It would also make it easier for law enforcement to aggregate multiple thefts into a felony grand theft charge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This bill says to organized crime rings, ‘We mean business, and we’re going to give law enforcement the tools they need to shut you down,’” Chavez Zbur said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rivas said the legislation was crafted with Gov. Gavin Newsom, who unveiled similar proposals earlier this year to curtail theft without touching Proposition 47, which would require approval from the voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But lawmakers may not have the last word on the fate of Proposition 47. Leaders of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11982070/campaign-to-roll-back-prop-47-criminal-justice-reforms-could-head-to-voters\">campaign to roll back parts of the measure are expressing confidence\u003c/a> that they will soon be able to submit the necessary signatures to put the issue on the ballot in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure, backed by large retailers and prosecutors, would create new felonies for repeated theft and toughen penalties for selling and possessing drugs. Supporters, which include the Democratic mayors of San Diego, San José and San Francisco, say the measure is needed to restore accountability and push drug users into treatment. Critics say its provisions will take the state back to over-criminalizing low-level crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While the proposed legislative bills are a step in the right direction, much more needs to be done to effectively hold individuals accountable and improve the safety of all Californians,” the campaign to repeal parts of Proposition 47 said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rivas said Tuesday that he would be “monitoring the progress of that initiative,” which proponents could remove from the ballot even after qualifying if they could negotiate a favorable deal with the legislature before July.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bills unveiled Tuesday, however, further closed the door on the legislature proactively going to the voters to alter Proposition 47 this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That result was far from a foregone conclusion just three months ago when the legislature began its session.

It would also make it easier for law enforcement to aggregate multiple thefts into a felony grand theft charge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This bill says to organized crime rings, ‘We mean business, and we’re going to give law enforcement the tools they need to shut you down,’” Chavez Zbur said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rivas said the legislation was crafted with Gov.

Supporters, which include the Democratic mayors of San Diego, San José and San Francisco, say the measure is needed to restore accountability and push drug users into treatment. Critics say its provisions will take the state back to over-criminalizing low-level crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While the proposed legislative bills are a step in the right direction, much more needs to be done to effectively hold individuals accountable and improve the safety of all Californians,” the campaign to repeal parts of Proposition 47 said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rivas said Tuesday that he would be “monitoring the progress of that initiative,” which proponents could remove from the ballot even after qualifying if they could negotiate a favorable deal with the legislature before July.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bills unveiled Tuesday, however, further closed the door on the legislature proactively going to the voters to alter Proposition 47 this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That result was far from a foregone conclusion just three months ago when the legislature began its session.

"content": "\u003cp>A campaign by prosecutors and retailers to roll back parts of Proposition 47, California’s landmark 2014 criminal justice reform, could soon move forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Backers say they believe they have enough signatures to qualify for the November ballot. The deadline for the group to submit the 546,651 signatures needed is April 23.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, lawmakers in Sacramento are pushing forward on legislation that Gov. Gavin Newsom and Democratic leaders say \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11979533/i-dont-want-to-go-back-to-the-ballot-assembly-speaker-rivas-opposes-changes-to-proposition-47\">would solve the problems critics see with Proposition 47\u003c/a>, without a need to go back to voters. On Tuesday, Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas plans to introduce what he’s calling a “comprehensive, bipartisan legislative package,” to attack retail theft.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 47 reduced charges for personal drug possession and for theft of anything worth less than $950 from a felony to a misdemeanor. It also required that the money the state saved from keeping people out of prison and jail, about $800 million so far, be invested in rehabilitation programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But critics blame Proposition 47 for a host of issues, from an increase in drug use and homelessness to what they say is a spike in shoplifting and retail theft, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11975661/data-shows-no-huge-spike-in-shoplifting-since-passage-of-prop-47\">even though state data doesn’t fully support that claim\u003c/a>. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11975692/prop-47s-impact-on-californias-criminal-justice-system\">A KQED investigation\u003c/a> found no major increase in reported shoplifting or overall theft since the measure passed, though the crimes appear to be underreported — but the investigation did find a large drop in arrest rates for theft over the past decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11975692 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/GettyImages-1363480595-1020x680.jpg']The proposed measure wouldn’t entirely repeal Proposition 47, but it would gut some of its key provisions, which were aimed at keeping lower level criminals and drug users out of jail and prison. The proposal would make it easier to charge repeat offenders with a felony and increase penalties for organized retail theft rings. It would also stiffen penalties for selling fentanyl and other “hard drugs” such as heroin, methamphetamines and cocaine. And it would mandate as much as a year in jail for possessing those same drugs — though the ballot measure also gives judges the option of diverting those accused of possession into drug treatment programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Backers have raised more than $7 million, mostly from large retailers like Walmart, which has donated $2.5 million, and Home Depot, which cut a $1 million check last month. And many prosecutors in California, who have long been critical of Proposition 47, helped write and are backing the ballot measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campaign spokesperson Becky Warren said the measure has received “overwhelming” support from people across the political spectrum as they gather signatures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This bipartisan ballot measure is a commonsense approach that prioritizes improving community safety while balancing accountability for repeat retail theft offenders and drug traffickers, with meaningful treatment and rehabilitation for serious addicts who need support,” she said in a written statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But supporters of the original criminal justice reforms in Proposition 47 are pushing back. They’ve joined with progressive lawmakers to roll out \u003ca href=\"https://ellabakercenter.org/smartsolutionsca/\">a package of legislation\u003c/a> they say would help curb retail theft and address the fentanyl crisis, without altering Proposition 47. Among the proposals: legislation aimed at making it harder for people to sell stolen goods online, bills to increase diversion programs for people accused of theft, and measures to increase drug treatment opportunities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tinisch Hollins is executive director of Californians for Safety and Justice, the group that sponsored Proposition 47. She said the provisions in the potential November ballot measure have already been proven to fail — and that’s why voters embraced reform in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve tried tough on crime, right? … We have decades of proof that that doesn’t work,” she said. “The issue of organized retail theft is much too nuanced to just throw a blanket repeal for a proposition — not to mention the cost to the state and our communities if we go back to just criminalizing everyone and putting them in jail and prison for low-level offenses. It’s just the wrong approach.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hollins said her group broadly supports efforts in the Legislature to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/newsletter/retail-theft-california-crime-bill/\">tackle organized retail theft\u003c/a> and she added that laws to hold fentanyl dealers and thieves accountable already exist. She said it’s up to law enforcement to use the tools they already have, noting there’s been a huge decrease in arrest rates for theft over the past decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/ballot/2023/230474.pdf\">An assessment by the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst Office (PDF)\u003c/a> found that the proposed ballot measure would result in California spending hundreds of millions of dollars more each year to incarcerate people in prison. The report said it would also cost counties tens of millions of dollars annually in jail, probation and court spending. Hollins questioned, with increased costs and the existing shortage of drug treatment programs, whether there would even be treatment available for people eligible for diversion under the proposed measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The ballot initiative doesn’t increase funding. In fact, if [Proposition] 47 is repealed, then we have hundreds of millions of dollars going back to the system instead of for these types of intervention,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 47 supporters also recently filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission alleging that Congressman Kevin Kiley, an outspoken critic of Proposition 47, has illegally coordinated with the campaign committee collecting signatures — an allegation both Kiley and representatives for the ballot measure deny.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The complaint was filed by attorney Ann Ravel, a former FEC chair, who said she got involved at the request of Californians for Safety and Justice, but that she is not being paid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/24534243/21march2024kileycomplaint.pdf\">In her complaint (PDF)\u003c/a>, Ravel accuses Kiley of establishing and controlling the campaign committee that is backing the effort to overhaul Proposition 47, and alleges that control is illegal because the six- and seven-figure donations collected by that committee exceed the federal limits Kiley’s congressional campaign is subject to. \u003ca href=\"https://www.fec.gov/help-candidates-and-committees/candidate-taking-receipts/contribution-limits/\">Under federal law\u003c/a>, a candidate may only solicit up to $3,300 per election from an individual donor and up to $5,000 a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Tinisch Hollins, executive director, Californians for Safety and Justice\"]‘We’ve tried tough on crime, right? … We have decades of proof that that doesn’t work.’[/pullquote]“He has raised an enormous amount of money that is a violation of campaign finance law,” Ravel said. “We are just asking them to investigate the violations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ravel \u003ca href=\"https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/24534244/ann-ravel-letter.pdf\">cites (PDF)\u003c/a> as proof Kiley’s long standing criticism of Proposition 47 and his involvement with the campaign, including email blasts and a website linked to his congressional campaign that asks people to sign the ballot measure petition. In one email, Ravel states, “he solicits funds for the ballot measure, to be made by check to ‘Kevin Kiley for Congress’ indicating that he has solicited earmarked contributions for the measure, using his committee as a conduit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesperson for Kiley called the allegations “frivolous and full of falsehoods,” adding that Kiley has “no official or unofficial position or control over the ballot measure committee,” and found out about its existence months after it was created.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ms. Ravel has a history of filing these types of political complaints that go nowhere,” Kiley’s political consultant Dave Gilliard said in an email. “[Kiley] has not solicited donations to the ballot measure committee from anyone and has not spoken about the initiative with any of the donors named in the complaint.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gilliard added that Kiley asked for donations to his congressional campaign to defray the cost of mailing petitions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are reporting the amounts spent on such mailings as an in-kind contribution to the committee, as required by law. The total value of that in-kind will probably end up being about 1% of the money raised by the committee,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

The deadline for the group to submit the 546,651 signatures needed is April 23.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, lawmakers in Sacramento are pushing forward on legislation that Gov. Gavin Newsom and Democratic leaders say \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11979533/i-dont-want-to-go-back-to-the-ballot-assembly-speaker-rivas-opposes-changes-to-proposition-47\">would solve the problems critics see with Proposition 47\u003c/a>, without a need to go back to voters. On Tuesday, Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas plans to introduce what he’s calling a “comprehensive, bipartisan legislative package,” to attack retail theft.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 47 reduced charges for personal drug possession and for theft of anything worth less than $950 from a felony to a misdemeanor. It also required that the money the state saved from keeping people out of prison and jail, about $800 million so far, be invested in rehabilitation programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But critics blame Proposition 47 for a host of issues, from an increase in drug use and homelessness to what they say is a spike in shoplifting and retail theft, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11975661/data-shows-no-huge-spike-in-shoplifting-since-passage-of-prop-47\">even though state data doesn’t fully support that claim\u003c/a>. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11975692/prop-47s-impact-on-californias-criminal-justice-system\">A KQED investigation\u003c/a> found no major increase in reported shoplifting or overall theft since the measure passed, though the crimes appear to be underreported — but the investigation did find a large drop in arrest rates for theft over the past decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The proposal would make it easier to charge repeat offenders with a felony and increase penalties for organized retail theft rings. It would also stiffen penalties for selling fentanyl and other “hard drugs” such as heroin, methamphetamines and cocaine. And it would mandate as much as a year in jail for possessing those same drugs — though the ballot measure also gives judges the option of diverting those accused of possession into drug treatment programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Backers have raised more than $7 million, mostly from large retailers like Walmart, which has donated $2.5 million, and Home Depot, which cut a $1 million check last month. And many prosecutors in California, who have long been critical of Proposition 47, helped write and are backing the ballot measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campaign spokesperson Becky Warren said the measure has received “overwhelming” support from people across the political spectrum as they gather signatures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This bipartisan ballot measure is a commonsense approach that prioritizes improving community safety while balancing accountability for repeat retail theft offenders and drug traffickers, with meaningful treatment and rehabilitation for serious addicts who need support,” she said in a written statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But supporters of the original criminal justice reforms in Proposition 47 are pushing back. They’ve joined with progressive lawmakers to roll out \u003ca href=\"https://ellabakercenter.org/smartsolutionsca/\">a package of legislation\u003c/a> they say would help curb retail theft and address the fentanyl crisis, without altering Proposition 47. Among the proposals: legislation aimed at making it harder for people to sell stolen goods online, bills to increase diversion programs for people accused of theft, and measures to increase drug treatment opportunities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tinisch Hollins is executive director of Californians for Safety and Justice, the group that sponsored Proposition 47. She said the provisions in the potential November ballot measure have already been proven to fail — and that’s why voters embraced reform in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve tried tough on crime, right? … We have decades of proof that that doesn’t work,” she said. “The issue of organized retail theft is much too nuanced to just throw a blanket repeal for a proposition — not to mention the cost to the state and our communities if we go back to just criminalizing everyone and putting them in jail and prison for low-level offenses. It’s just the wrong approach.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hollins said her group broadly supports efforts in the Legislature to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/newsletter/retail-theft-california-crime-bill/\">tackle organized retail theft\u003c/a> and she added that laws to hold fentanyl dealers and thieves accountable already exist. She said it’s up to law enforcement to use the tools they already have, noting there’s been a huge decrease in arrest rates for theft over the past decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/ballot/2023/230474.pdf\">An assessment by the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst Office (PDF)\u003c/a> found that the proposed ballot measure would result in California spending hundreds of millions of dollars more each year to incarcerate people in prison. The report said it would also cost counties tens of millions of dollars annually in jail, probation and court spending. Hollins questioned, with increased costs and the existing shortage of drug treatment programs, whether there would even be treatment available for people eligible for diversion under the proposed measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The ballot initiative doesn’t increase funding. In fact, if [Proposition] 47 is repealed, then we have hundreds of millions of dollars going back to the system instead of for these types of intervention,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Since 2008, The Moth podcast has featured many of our favorite stories told live on Moth stages around the country. For information on all of our programs and live events, visit themoth.org.",
