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.",

Scott Wiener and a host of co-authors, aims to tackle California’s housing crisis by requiring cities to allow dramatically intensified development near “high-quality” transit stops such as BART and Caltrain stations and along corridors served by frequent commute bus service. The bill also includes new development requirements for job centers not yet served by rapid transit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The impact would border on the revolutionary. Both major cities and surrounding suburbs would face a state mandate to allow multistory, multifamily developments in many neighborhoods long zoned predominantly for single-family housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener and the bill’s sponsors, led by the California YIMBY pro-development group and including the California Association of Realtors and the Nonprofit Housing Association of Northern California, argue the legislation would help ease the state’s estimated 3.5 million-unit housing deficit and is crucial to meet its ambitious goals to cut greenhouse gas emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal has been derailed twice, first as SB 827, when it failed its first committee vote, and then last May, when state Sen. Anthony Portantino, D-La Cañada-Flintridge, used his authority as chair of the upper chamber’s Appropriations Committee to defer action on the bill until this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In shelving the bill, Portantino called it “a well-intentioned effort to help solve our state’s housing crisis” but one that might trigger a chain of unintended consequences, including discouraging cities from developing new transit systems that would require higher-density zoning along their routes.\u003cbr>\n[aside tag=\"sb-50\" label=\"More on SB 50\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Portantino said he preferred offering cities incentives rather than imposing mandates and hoped delaying Wiener’s bill until 2020 would “result in a more targeted legislative effort.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The amendments Wiener and his allies formally introduced late Monday night attempt to answer concerns heard from cities and advocates for lower-income Californians: first by offering local governments some flexibility in how they implement SB 50’s requirements, and second by including a clause that would ensure low-income residents are given priority for the new housing units the bill requires in their neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill’s new language on local flexibility would give cities the option of crafting their own housing plans as long as those blueprints create at least the same number of new units as SB 50 would. To ensure that housing commitment is met, city plans would be subject to review by the state Department of Housing and Community Development and the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cities’ plans would also be barred from resulting in increased vehicle travel and would be required to distribute new housing equally among affluent and lower-income areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A city could not just push all of its development into some remote area that’s not connected to jobs or transit,” Wiener said in a Monday media call on the amendments. “And a city could not say we’re going to put all of our density into low-income neighborhoods and communities of color but maintain more low-density zoning in more affluent areas.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The “neighborhood preference” provision in the amended bill would give local residents priority for 40% of new units developed under the law and designated for low, very low and extremely low income households.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those provisions leave the heart of SB 50, most of which would take effect Jan. 1, 2023, largely unchanged. The bill’s central proposal — requiring cities in the 15 counties with populations of 600,000 or more to approve buildings in the four- to five-story range near train stations and along the busiest bus lines — is intact. In the Bay Area, that requirement would apply in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In less populous counties, cities with 50,000 or more residents would be required to allow buildings 15 feet higher than the current maximum for residential or mixed-use structures. Bay Area municipalities that could be affected include San Rafael, Santa Rosa, Vallejo, Fairfield and Vacaville.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill leaves in place a provision that would end single-family zoning throughout the state by allowing property owners to build up to four units of housing on vacant parcels or to convert existing buildings into fourplexes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal would require projects approved under the bill to include 15% to 25% lower-income units, depending on the project size. The bill would also seek to prevent tenant displacement by restricting demolition of existing rental housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill also continues to grant a five-year delay for implementation, until 2026, for areas designated as “sensitive communities” — those peopled mostly by renters and low-income residents and which may have experienced high rates of racial segregation, poverty and exposure to environmental hazards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener said Monday the changes in the bill reflect intensive consultation with local government officials “who have said, ‘We understand what you’re trying to do with this bill, we support what you’re trying to do with this bill, but can you please give us some additional flexibility, because every city has unique features.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislation will come up for a final vote in the state Senate by the end of January and will still face a series of hurdles, including a lengthy Assembly amendment process, before becoming law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener said he is confident that with an increasingly diverse collection of supporters — including business, labor, community groups, affordable housing groups, environmental groups, senior organizations and college student associations — the bill is gaining momentum.\u003cbr>\n[aside postID=\"news_11793596,news_11793325,news_11793117\" label=\"Bay Area transportation coverage\"]\u003cbr>\n“I think what it says is that more and more people understand that while SB 50 is not a silver bullet … it’s a big part of addressing our housing crisis,” Wiener said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It remains to be seen whether the SB 50 amendments will win over local officials and their constituents who have fought Wiener’s proposal from the beginning and hold sway with his legislative colleagues. One test will come in San Francisco, where Wiener served on the Board of Supervisors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board voted 10-1 last month to call for major changes to the bill that went well beyond the amendments that Wiener unveiled Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Separately, the San Francisco County Transportation Authority board — which is comprised of the full Board of Supervisors — called on Wiener to address concerns about SB 50’s impact on transportation and infrastructure needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener acknowledged Monday that he still hasn’t reached agreement with community housing activists on language that would better protect vulnerable communities from gentrification and displacement.

Trump, the president of the United States, has put himself before his country,” House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler of New York said in his opening statement. “He has violated his most basic responsibilities to the people. He has broken his oath.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican ranking member Doug Collins of Georgia argued that Democrats are pursuing impeachment because of a “personal vendetta.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They can’t get over the fact that Donald J. Trump is president of the United States,” Collins said, “and they don’t think they have a candidate who can beat [him]. It’s all a show.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., confirmed last week that she and her lieutenants have \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/12/05/785014085/watch-live-pelosi-addresses-status-of-impeachment-inquiry\">decided to draft articles of impeachment\u003c/a> against President Trump.

That meeting has never happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The aid was eventually released Sept. 11 without explanation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican counsel Stephen Castor, who asked many of the questions during the Intelligence Committee hearings, questioned the strength of Sondland’s testimony. He said Sondland had “no firsthand knowledge” of a direct “quid pro quo” linkage to President Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He merely presumed there were preconditions,” Castor said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Castor said Democrats are centering their evidence of wrongdoing on the call summary the White House released with Ukraine’s president.

A sticking point among some Democrats is whether to include findings of the Mueller Russia investigation to support an obstruction of justice article.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans led by ranking member Collins have complained all along about the impeachment process and argue that the case about Ukraine not only is meritless, but that Nadler and Democrats have been reckless and sloppy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Judiciary Committee would charged with introducing, then amending the articles of impeachment. Then, the committee, controlled by Democrats, would vote on whether to send the articles for a vote of the full House. That is expected before Christmas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If a majority of the House supports it, that would trigger a Senate trial, likely in January. Republicans control the upper chamber, and they’re expected to acquit Trump. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has said he’ll convene a trial as required under the Constitution but that he thinks it’s “inconceivable” that the needed 20 Republicans would break ranks to remove Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump, for his own part, has said he hopes the House moves quickly to impeach him in order to set up a Senate trial that Republicans could use for their own political purposes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration has so far declined to participate in the process. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.
