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.",

"content": "\u003cp>Ask Cynthia Dai what she’s been up to in her spare time, and she’ll say “saving democracy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly a decade ago, she discovered that applications were about to close for citizens willing to serve on a new California commission that would redraw new congressional and legislative districts. The stakes were enormous. The state’s politicians previously drew lines to protect their jobs and maximize their party’s seats — one late Democrat called the resulting maps \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2005-oct-02-oe-rarick2-story.html\">“my contribution to modern art.”\u003c/a> But by 2010, the state was creating a citizen’s commission to do the job more fairly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dai held degrees in electrical engineering, computer science and an MBA from Stanford. She decided to go for it. Why, when it required her to conquer an application process that she likened to applying for grad school?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Gerrymandering is evil!” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She regards her work on the 2010 commission as one of the most meaningful things she’s done in her life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Gerrymandering has led to extreme partisanship, which we are seeing all over the country right now, and it means that government can’t get the work of the people done. I feel that we played our part in fixing that, in California at least.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Understanding Gerrymandering\" hero=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/2012/06/assem2011mapfinal.gif\" link1=\"https://www.kqed.org/lowdown/26074/redistricting-how-the-maps-of-power-are-drawn-with-lesson-plan,The Strange Geometry of Gerrymandering\" link2=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/education/2017/05/17/what-should-we-do-about-gerrymandering/,What Should We Do About Gerrymandering?\" link3=\"https://www.kqed.org/lowdown/2296/redistricting-california-style-attempting-reform,Redistricting California Style\"]Today she’s often on the road to other states evangelizing the value of independent redistricting commissions. Her last stop was Pennsylvania, a state so plagued by gerrymandering that the contours of one district earned the nickname “\u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/post/name-that-district-contest-winner-goofy-kicking-donald-duck/2011/12/29/gIQA2Fa2OP_blog.html\">Goofy kicking Donald Duck\u003c/a>.” (The state’s congressional map has since been redrawn by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even while California touts its commission approach as insurance against partisan shenanigans, the state’s \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/commentary/fair-elections/\">second crack\u003c/a> at trying to field a panel of anti-gerrymandering gurus hasn’t been so easy. The \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2019/08/california-citizen-redistricting-commission-diversity-problems/\">shrunken pool of applicants \u003c/a>for the next panel, which will draw lines after the 2020 census, skews more white and male than the state. Latinos are particularly underrepresented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In pursuit of a diverse, qualified pool, the state extended the first deadline. Then it extended the second deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We act like ‘Oh my gosh, the problem is the deadline. The problem is people didn’t know’,” said Mike Madrid, a GOP consultant. “We should not fool ourselves into believing that that’s going to solve the problem because it’s not.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Madrid called the extensions a patchwork solution to a larger problem: Latinos aren’t civically engaged because they tend to have limited access to economic mobility. It’s not surprising, he said, that an ethnic group that typically loses in California’s political system would not be engaged. If the system does nothing for them, why participate at all?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’ll extend the deadline and they’ll do outreach and they’ll throw some money at trying to cover up the glaring problem and you know they’ll stumble towards getting something representative,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 17,000 Californians were considered tentatively eligible to be a part of the 2020 anti-gerrymandering squad. That means as long as their info was accurate once double-checked by the auditor’s office, they’ve reached the next level: a step that includes several essay questions and three letters of recommendation. The deadline has been extended to Oct. 13.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But here, things get dicey. So far more than 700 applicants have turned in their supplemental questions. But completed applications, which includes the letters of recommendation, have dropped to less than 400.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"left\" citation=\"Stan Forbes\"]“You can’t just let the politicians draw their own lines.”[/pullquote]From the final applicant pool culled by a panel of auditors, State Auditor Elaine Howle will randomly select eight commissioners by July 5, 2020. Then those eight choose six more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Margarita Fernandez, a spokesperson for the State Auditor’s office said she expects a surge in applicants the final week before the deadline. The office has led online workshops to help applicants through the process. She said hundreds of viewers have tuned in to navigate the next step.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Political consultant Paul Michell of Political Data Inc. acknowledged that the process can be daunting. Nonetheless, he likes it better than the alternatives in other states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The process does make it hard to game the system. It would be nearly impossible for you to get any kind of significant number of commissioners in there that just happen to be the brother-in-law of the Speaker of the Assembly, or the sister-in-law of the president of the Senate or the cousin of the fundraiser for the governor,” said Mitchell. “That’s the kind of thing we see in commissions around the country. The way the process works and the independence of it from our politicians in California is kind of the greatest feature within this process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To Mitchell, the drop in applicants was to be expected, especially as the novelty of a brand new, shiny commission wears off. And the state’s extension of the first deadline, he said, triggered a domino effect that made an extension necessary for the second phase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People now know what they’re getting into, said Stan Forbes, a Sacramento bookstore owner and member of the 2010 commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you have a paper due in college, how many people turned it in early? Nobody,” he said. “So when it gets to be two days before the deadline, then I might get more nervous. But at this point it’s just human nature.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Forbes said his own cynicism about politics motivated him to serve on the commission, despite the fact that his day job forces him to work long hours seven days a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You just can’t let politicians draw their own lines. There’s too much self-interest,” he said. “They’re simply incapable of not exercising that self-interest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"left\" citation=\"Paul Mitchell\"]“The process does make it hard to game the system. It would be nearly impossible for you to get any kind of significant number of commissioners in there that just happen to be the brother-in-law of the Speaker of the Assembly…”[/pullquote]He said he doesn’t have a party preference but that working with other commissioners from political parties members wasn’t a problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was fabulous,” he said. “You had a group of really like-minded individuals. They just wanted the system to work and they wanted the public to have a meaningful vote.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which was the goal all along. One of the biggest supporters of the commission is former Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. He pushed for a commission before California voters approved a 2008 ballot measure creating one. And he continues to preach its value. Last year, while filming for his recurring role as a T-800 cyborg, Schwarzenegger made time to share what he truly wants to terminate: gerrymandering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We all know this is not the sexiest subject in town,” he said in an\u003ca href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/10/schwarzenegger-campaigning-redistricting-michigan/572959/\"> interview\u003c/a> with The Atlantic last year. “It’s always about showing your passion and fighting for it. The worst thing you can do is sit on your couch.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While taking a break from filming a new Terminator movie last year, he visited Colorado and Michigan to campaign for ballot measures creating independent commissions there.

Her last stop was Pennsylvania, a state so plagued by gerrymandering that the contours of one district earned the nickname “\u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/post/name-that-district-contest-winner-goofy-kicking-donald-duck/2011/12/29/gIQA2Fa2OP_blog.html\">Goofy kicking Donald Duck\u003c/a>.” (The state’s congressional map has since been redrawn by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even while California touts its commission approach as insurance against partisan shenanigans, the state’s \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/commentary/fair-elections/\">second crack\u003c/a> at trying to field a panel of anti-gerrymandering gurus hasn’t been so easy. The \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2019/08/california-citizen-redistricting-commission-diversity-problems/\">shrunken pool of applicants \u003c/a>for the next panel, which will draw lines after the 2020 census, skews more white and male than the state. Latinos are particularly underrepresented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In pursuit of a diverse, qualified pool, the state extended the first deadline. Then it extended the second deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We act like ‘Oh my gosh, the problem is the deadline. The problem is people didn’t know’,” said Mike Madrid, a GOP consultant. “We should not fool ourselves into believing that that’s going to solve the problem because it’s not.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Madrid called the extensions a patchwork solution to a larger problem: Latinos aren’t civically engaged because they tend to have limited access to economic mobility. It’s not surprising, he said, that an ethnic group that typically loses in California’s political system would not be engaged. If the system does nothing for them, why participate at all?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’ll extend the deadline and they’ll do outreach and they’ll throw some money at trying to cover up the glaring problem and you know they’ll stumble towards getting something representative,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 17,000 Californians were considered tentatively eligible to be a part of the 2020 anti-gerrymandering squad. That means as long as their info was accurate once double-checked by the auditor’s office, they’ve reached the next level: a step that includes several essay questions and three letters of recommendation. The deadline has been extended to Oct. 13.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But here, things get dicey. So far more than 700 applicants have turned in their supplemental questions. But completed applications, which includes the letters of recommendation, have dropped to less than 400.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The way the process works and the independence of it from our politicians in California is kind of the greatest feature within this process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To Mitchell, the drop in applicants was to be expected, especially as the novelty of a brand new, shiny commission wears off. And the state’s extension of the first deadline, he said, triggered a domino effect that made an extension necessary for the second phase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People now know what they’re getting into, said Stan Forbes, a Sacramento bookstore owner and member of the 2010 commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you have a paper due in college, how many people turned it in early?

"content": "\u003cp>As the #MeToo movement against sexual harassment washed across the country last year, it hit especially hard in the California Capitol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three lawmakers resigned amid serious allegations of sexual misconduct. The Legislature spent months crafting a new procedure for handling complaints from its employees. And by the end of the legislative session, dozens of bills had been passed to prevent future harassment or to help victims seek justice in workplaces across the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Jennifer Barrera, of the California Chamber of Commerce, on the veto of some #MeToo bills by former Gov. Jerry Brown']‘There are a lot of legitimate and concrete reasons he vetoed a lot of these bills.’[/pullquote]Then-Gov. Jerry Brown signed many. But in Brown’s typical fashion — what he called paddling left and paddling right — he vetoed other measures, arguing they were unnecessary, hasty or in conflict with federal law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now there’s a new governor in town, and with him, high hopes that Gov. Gavin Newsom will reward the persistence of those whose harassment bills were rejected by Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the roughly 700 bills on Newsom’s desk are several inspired by the #MeToo movement, including many repeats of bills Brown vetoed last year. Others are new ideas or rehashes of measures that stalled last year before reaching the governor’s desk — such as a bill prohibiting settlements that say an employer will never again hire an aggrieved worker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most controversial #MeToo bills will force Newsom to decide between two constituencies that are important to him: On one side, powerful business interests that argue the measures will increase costs and litigation. On the other, feminist and worker advocates who say progress shouldn’t slow just because public outcry about harassment has dimmed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was an important year to show that we weren’t going to drop this issue or imply that it was somehow fixed. We made some progress last year but there is a lot of work still to be done,” said attorney Jessica Stender of Equal Rights Advocates, which sponsored some of the bills on Newsom’s desk, including two that Brown vetoed last year. “Having these bills reintroduced this year was an important statement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her group is backing Assembly Bill 9, which would give workers two more years to file harassment and discrimination claims, and Assembly Bill 51, which would prohibit employers from requiring people they’re hiring to agree to resolve disputes in private arbitration, instead of through the courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters say many harassment victims who work in low-wage jobs need more time to file claims because they may not immediately realize that what happened to them is illegal. And they say requiring that disputes go to private arbitration puts workers at a disadvantage and allows misconduct to stay secret.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Jessica Stender of Equal Rights Advocates']‘Having these bills reintroduced this year was an important statement.’[/pullquote]Brown vetoed similar versions of both bills last year, saying the current statute of limitations encourages employers to resolve problems swiftly and that the move to ban mandatory arbitration clauses violates federal law. With his vetoes, Brown sided with the California Chamber of Commerce and numerous other business groups that say the proposals would lead to more litigation, and therefore greater costs for employers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are a lot of legitimate and concrete reasons he vetoed a lot of these bills,” said Jennifer Barrera, a lobbyist for the California Chamber of Commerce. “It had nothing to do with his lack of sensitivity to the #MeToo movement, but either the law already exists and we don’t need it, or (it would create more) liability and litigation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='metoo' label='More Coverage']Newsom has already shown that he wants to distinguish himself from Brown. He announced plans to scale back his predecessor’s legacy projects to build massive water tunnels through the Delta and a high-speed rail line from the Bay Area to Los Angeles. He approved temporary tax breaks on diapers and menstrual products that Brown rejected. And he signed a bill Brown vetoed that requires presidential candidates to release their tax returns if they want to be placed on the California primary ballot. (It was recently put on hold by the courts.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nate Ballard, a political consultant who worked for Newsom as San Francisco mayor, said he expects Newsom will differentiate himself from Brown on the #MeToo bills as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a pretty good chance those bills are going to get signed,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In part he chalked it up to a generational difference between the 51-year-old Newsom and 81-year-old Brown that may make the younger governor more attuned to issues women face in the workplace.

It would require the state to assess proposed changes to U.S. environmental and workplace-safety laws.

He called the measure “a solution in search of a problem” and is expected to veto it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Atkins avoided a direct public challenge to Newsom but said in a written statement, “SB 1 is the product of a full year’s worth of work, so clearly I am strongly disappointed in its impending fate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In staking out his position, Newsom is caught between his fellow Democrats and environmentalists on one side, and his relationship with Central Valley farmers and water brokers and sympathy for their needs on the other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.usbr.gov/mp/cvp/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Central Valley water project\u003c/a>, run by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, provides water for those farmers as well as flood control and water for Sacramento and the San Francisco Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom has sunk political capital into the region — and literal capital, too. His administration recently committed $70 million to support the voluntary agreement, funding habitat restoration and projects to enhance water quality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agreement is important to Newsom, who has coaxed the various water interests into signing a pact to manage flows from the Sacramento and San Joaquin River systems in the Delta Estuary. That process is nearing a conclusion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, although Newsom and other opponents claimed the bill would have derailed the agreement, Atkins’ legislation specifically notes that it would have no effect on it: “This article does not affect the process by which voluntary agreements are entered into to assist in the implementation of new water quality standards lawfully adopted.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11775832\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11775832\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/08072019_LosAngeles_AW_36-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Gov.

The state has been regulating the amount of water flowing in and out of the Delta, which has angered Central Valley farmers, who irrigate some 3 million agricultural acres.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s plan update is coming out in phases, and the voluntary agreement could be incorporated into the next update. A revised version of the agreement is expected by the end of October, according to Lisa Lien-Mager, a spokeswoman for the state Natural Resources Agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has promised farmers they would receive more federal water. Last year he \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/story/2018/10/19/trump-western-water-eo-856305\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">signed a memorandum\u003c/a> directing federal agencies to “minimize unnecessary regulatory burdens,” streamline environmental reviews and accelerate water deliveries to the Central Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An updated biological review is also expected soon, and “the smart money is that the new biological opinion will be more permissive (than) the old one,” said Doremus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That may give the state a legal window, she said, to assert that the Trump administration’s water pumping won’t adequately protect a precious state resource — water. That legal argument called the “public trust doctrine,” would almost certainly require a court to sort out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[aside tag='calmatters' label='More From CalMatters.']\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While much of the debate over the bill focused on water, the measure also applied broadly to air regulations and employee safety in the workplace. Earlier this year, the Trump administration announced a new \u003ca href=\"https://s3.amazonaws.com/public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2019-00101.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rule\u003c/a> eliminating the requirement to report workplace injuries or illness in detailed electronic reports to the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Six states sued to reverse the rule, though California was not among them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California does not need Atkins’ legislation to respond to federal rollbacks with new rules of its own. But in the case of imperiled species, implementing new rules could take years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Newsom, torpedoing Atkins’ signature legislation may have long-term political ripples. Support for him among some of California’s environmental advocates has soured, particularly because, they say, Newsom parroted opponents’ talking points that mischaracterized the impact of the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Is it going to be the same relationship, absolutely not. It’s naïve to think it would be,” said Kathryn Phillips, the California director of the Sierra Club, who called some of Newsom’s statements about the legislation “appalling.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Is this going to hurt the long-term relationship? You’re damn right it will,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some groups will likely paint the governor — who sees himself as an environmental warrior — as a politician who, when it mattered, sided with big business and Donald Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s not slander to the bill’s opponents, who, flush with success, have showered the governor with praise. But those same water and ag interests threatened to walk away from the voluntary water negotiations unless Newsom came out against the bill, and there’s no guarantee that wouldn’t happen again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kate Poole, a water lawyer for the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental group, said Newsom was “blackmailed” by the threats to leave the bargaining table.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s not going to end with SB 1,” she said. “They’ve got him over a barrel.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://calmatters.org/\">CalMatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

It would require the state to assess proposed changes to U.S. environmental and workplace-safety laws.

He called the measure “a solution in search of a problem” and is expected to veto it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Atkins avoided a direct public challenge to Newsom but said in a written statement, “SB 1 is the product of a full year’s worth of work, so clearly I am strongly disappointed in its impending fate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In staking out his position, Newsom is caught between his fellow Democrats and environmentalists on one side, and his relationship with Central Valley farmers and water brokers and sympathy for their needs on the other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.usbr.gov/mp/cvp/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Central Valley water project\u003c/a>, run by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, provides water for those farmers as well as flood control and water for Sacramento and the San Francisco Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom has sunk political capital into the region — and literal capital, too. His administration recently committed $70 million to support the voluntary agreement, funding habitat restoration and projects to enhance water quality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agreement is important to Newsom, who has coaxed the various water interests into signing a pact to manage flows from the Sacramento and San Joaquin River systems in the Delta Estuary. That process is nearing a conclusion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, although Newsom and other opponents claimed the bill would have derailed the agreement, Atkins’ legislation specifically notes that it would have no effect on it: “This article does not affect the process by which voluntary agreements are entered into to assist in the implementation of new water quality standards lawfully adopted.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11775832\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11775832\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/08072019_LosAngeles_AW_36-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Gov.

The state has been regulating the amount of water flowing in and out of the Delta, which has angered Central Valley farmers, who irrigate some 3 million agricultural acres.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s plan update is coming out in phases, and the voluntary agreement could be incorporated into the next update. A revised version of the agreement is expected by the end of October, according to Lisa Lien-Mager, a spokeswoman for the state Natural Resources Agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has promised farmers they would receive more federal water. Last year he \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/story/2018/10/19/trump-western-water-eo-856305\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">signed a memorandum\u003c/a> directing federal agencies to “minimize unnecessary regulatory burdens,” streamline environmental reviews and accelerate water deliveries to the Central Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An updated biological review is also expected soon, and “the smart money is that the new biological opinion will be more permissive (than) the old one,” said Doremus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That may give the state a legal window, she said, to assert that the Trump administration’s water pumping won’t adequately protect a precious state resource — water.

But in the case of imperiled species, implementing new rules could take years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Newsom, torpedoing Atkins’ signature legislation may have long-term political ripples. Support for him among some of California’s environmental advocates has soured, particularly because, they say, Newsom parroted opponents’ talking points that mischaracterized the impact of the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Is it going to be the same relationship, absolutely not. It’s naïve to think it would be,” said Kathryn Phillips, the California director of the Sierra Club, who called some of Newsom’s statements about the legislation “appalling.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Is this going to hurt the long-term relationship? You’re damn right it will,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some groups will likely paint the governor — who sees himself as an environmental warrior — as a politician who, when it mattered, sided with big business and Donald Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s not slander to the bill’s opponents, who, flush with success, have showered the governor with praise. But those same water and ag interests threatened to walk away from the voluntary water negotiations unless Newsom came out against the bill, and there’s no guarantee that wouldn’t happen again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kate Poole, a water lawyer for the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental group, said Newsom was “blackmailed” by the threats to leave the bargaining table.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s not going to end with SB 1,” she said. “They’ve got him over a barrel.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://calmatters.org/\">CalMatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But under Trump, the run-of-the-mill fundraising trip has taken on a complicating dimension because of his harsh criticism of the state’s immigration laws and its forest management practices, which he blamed for fatal wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month Trump lashed out at “Will and Grace” TV star Debra Messing after she tweeted that attendees of the Trump’s California fundraisers should be outed publicly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump tweeted back: “I have not forgotten that when it was announced that I was going to do The Apprentice, and when it then became a big hit, helping NBC’s failed lineup greatly, @DebraMessing came up to me at an Upfront & profusely thanked me, even calling me “Sir.” How times have changed!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In August, Trump took aim at the state’s massive film industry, calling Hollywood “very dangerous for our country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11774843\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/IMG_0699-1.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11774843\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/IMG_0699-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/IMG_0699-1.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/IMG_0699-1-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/IMG_0699-1-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/IMG_0699-1-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/IMG_0699-1-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/IMG_0699-1-1832x1374.jpg 1832w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/IMG_0699-1-1376x1032.jpg 1376w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/IMG_0699-1-1044x783.jpg 1044w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/IMG_0699-1-632x474.jpg 632w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/IMG_0699-1-536x402.jpg 536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Protesters along Trump’s motorcade route, near the site of his fundraising luncheon in Portola Valley. \u003ccite>(Peter Jon Shuler/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Hollywood is really terrible.

"content": "\u003cp>The final day of session for the California State Legislature was disrupted late Friday afternoon when a woman in the Senate gallery \u003ca href=\"https://www.apnews.com/0ff009de977741e0abdd8568d9d80a29\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tossed\u003c/a> what the California Highway Patrol said was a substance that “appeared to be blood” onto the Senate floor while yelling “That’s for the dead babies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>East Bay Sen. Steve Glazer (D-Orinda) said the liquid landed on his head and splashed onto five other senators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The woman, identified as 43-year-old Rebecca Dalelio of Santa Cruz County, is linked to some of the anti-vaccine protesters demonstrating in recent weeks over the passage of Senate Bills 276 and 714 aimed at tightening up medical exemptions for children’s vaccines. She was arrested and charged with assault, vandalism and disrupting the business at hand in the Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CHP cordoned off the Senate, forcing lawmakers, media and others to move into a committee room to finish its business hours later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Below are some of the highlights from this legislative session, including bills that have already been signed into law, are awaiting signature or are in limbo until next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Children’s Issues\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AB 378:\u003c/strong> In-home child care providers would be allowed to unionize under this measure. Supporters said unionizing could give child care workers a voice and encourage them to stay in the industry. The bill has made it through the Legislature. Several similar bills have either died or been vetoed by governors in the past. But supporters are hoping this measure will be signed by Governor Gavin Newsom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SB 337/AB 1092:\u003c/strong> Lawmakers sent Newsom two bills aimed at making sure more low-income kids in California benefit from child support payments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, a quarter of a million California families only receive $50 a month in child support payments, even if the non-custodial parent is paying hundreds of dollars more each month in child support. This happens when a family is also receiving government assistance, like welfare or Medi-Cal. The government takes the rest of the money to repay the public for the cost of those safety net programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And parents that fail to pay their required child support on time see huge interest added to those debts — 10% a year. In addition to the crippling debt that racks up, parents can also lose their driver’s license, or go to jail if they fall too far behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two bills now on Newsom’s desk would change that: Oakland Sen. Nancy Skinner’s SB337 will increase the amount of child support paid to families on welfare assistance. Families with one child will get $100 a month under the bill; families with two or more kids will receive $200 a month. And AB 1092 will end the practice of adding interest to child support debt. Both bills, if signed by Newsom, will take effect in 2022.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Health\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SB 24:\u003c/strong> State lawmakers have passed a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11772337/california-again-considers-making-abortion-pills-available-at-public-colleges\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bill\u003c/a> that would require student health centers at all 34 state campuses to provide medication abortions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the measure becomes law, it will be the first of its kind in the U.S. The bill’s supporters say they want to remove the obstacles women face accessing medical abortion off campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While a consortium of women’s groups that support abortion rights has promised to pay for all the required ultrasound equipment and upfront training costs of providing the abortion pill on campus, eventually universities would likely need to dip into tax dollars or student fees for ongoing costs — which abortion opponents object to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SB 276/SB 714:\u003c/strong> California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11773308/anti-vaccine-protesters-swarm-capitol-as-lawmakers-pass-bill-limiting-medical-exemptions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pair of bills\u003c/a> into law earlier this week to crack down on doctors who write fraudulent medical exemptions for schoolchildren’s vaccinations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The news laws would create state oversight of medical exemptions for vaccines required by most schools and day care centers in California. Under them, the state would begin collecting medical exemptions electronically by Jan. 1, 2021. But health department officials would review them only when a school’s immunization rate falls below 95% or when a doctor writes more than five medical exemptions per year (beginning in 2020).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The laws would also allow officials to revoke any medical exemptions written by doctors who have faced disciplinary action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since being introduced last year, hundreds of parents have protested the legislation, insisting it would disrupt confidential doctor-patient relationships and scare doctors from writing new exemptions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SB 343:\u003c/strong> Under legislation signed into law last week, Kaiser Permanente will have to share more information — like other insurers do — on revenue and expenses at each of its facilities, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/health-and-medicine/article234806097.html#storylink=cpy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Sacramento Bee\u003c/a> reported. The legislation was introduced on behalf of Kaiser’s largest union, the Service Employees International Union, which has been in contract negotiations for roughly a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Housing\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AB 1482\u003c/strong> marks the biggest victory for California renter protections in decades. It would create a statewide limit on rent increases of 5% plus inflation, and requires that landlords provide a “just cause” when evicting tenants who have been renting for a year. The limits on rent hikes don’t go nearly as far as local rent control laws in places like San Francisco and Oakland, but it would cover millions of Californians whose units don’t already have such protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure exempts units under 15 years old, but it was opposed by real estate agents who argued that the legislation would discourage construction of rental housing. Newsom has committed to signing the bill, which will sunset after 10 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AB 1487\u003c/strong>, which has been sent to Newsom, would allow for a Bay Area regional ballot measure to raise money for affordable housing. Previous measures on ballots in the nine counties have raised taxes to pay for transportation and bay restoration. The executive board of the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) would decide what form a potential revenue-raising measure would take.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SB 330\u003c/strong>, which has been sent to Newsom, would prohibit local governments from downzoning by either placing a moratorium on development or lowering the number of housing units permitted. It also would speed up the permitting process for development. The provision sunsets after five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Law Enforcement\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SB 22\u003c/strong> requires prompt testing of newly collected rape kits in Califonia. Under the bill, new rape kits must be submitted for testing within 20 days and actually tested with 120 days. The bill’s author, Senator Connie Leyva (D-Chino) says the measure would help solve crimes and prevent testing backlogs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Survivors should never have to wait years or even decades for their rape kits to be tested and it is outrageous that collected evidence could ever sit on a shelf untested,” Leyva said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SB 230 \u003c/strong>is meant to reduce the use of force among law enforcement agencies. Governor Newsom has signed it into law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new law requires agencies to maintain a policy providing guidelines on the use of force. That policy must also include de-escalation techniques and other alternatives to force, and specific guidelines for when deadly force can be used. In addition, the agencies’ policies must include a way to evaluate and review all use- of-force incidents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SB 230\u003c/strong> is meant to be used in conjunction with \u003cstrong>AB 392\u003c/strong>, which Newsom signed into law in August. It states law enforcement can use deadly force only when “necessary,” rather than just “reasonable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AB 61\u003c/strong> would expand the scope of people able to request a gun violence restraining order against a person they believe is a danger to themselves or others. Currently, only immediate family members and police are allowed to make a request. This measure would allow employers, co-workers, schoolteachers and employees to request a restraining order as well. The legislation has been sent to Newsom for his signature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AB 1215\u003c/strong> places a three-year ban on the use of facial recognition technology on body cameras by the state and local law enforcement agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill was supported by the ACLU, which said the technology is not ready for prime time. To prove its point, the ACLU entered photos of all 120 state legislators into a database of mugshots. The software incorrectly identified 26 of the lawmakers as criminals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco and Oakland have already passed similar legislation. The bill has been sent to Newsom for his signature.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Prisons\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AB 32\u003c/strong> would ban the use of private for-profit prisons and detention centers in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bill author Rob Bonta (D-Oakland) said there’s no room for the facilities in the state. “California should not be home to companies that are profiteering from the tearing of innocent children from their families. This is inhumane and goes against who we are as Californians and Americans,” Bonta said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics say the measure would reduce the state’s options for dealing with prison overcrowding and put more pressure on local jails to hold dangerous inmates. The legislation has been sent to Newsom for his signature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SB 132,\u003c/strong> which would allow transgender prisoners in the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) to be housed according to their gender identity, and not their sex assigned at birth, will be carried over to the next session.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California would be the third state in the nation to pass such legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill’s sponsor, Sen. Scott Wiener of San Francisco, said the coalition supporting the legislation had decided to make it a two-year bill so they could “come to a solution that works for” the community, CDCR and Newsom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Transgender people in our prison system are among the most marginalized people in society, and we must protect them,” he said Friday in a statement. “Over the fall recess, I will join community leaders to visit several state prisons to meet with transgender people who are incarcerated there. This listening tour will help us craft the best legislation possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SB 136\u003c/strong> is part of a larger push in California to roll back tough on crime laws that helped pack prisons and jails to the brim and resulted in ballooning corrections spending in the Golden State.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill would end the practice of automatically adding an extra year to a defendant’s sentence if they had previously served time for a felony. Wiener said 11,000 people currently in prison have this extra year tacked on at a cost of $80,000 a year. State officials estimate that the change would save taxpayers $80 million a year. The legislation has passed the Legislature and is heading to the governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Environment\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AB 792\u003c/strong> would establish a minimum level of recycled content – 50% – in plastic bottles by 2035. On Monday, Assemblyman Phil Ting introduced another bill, \u003cstrong>AB 54\u003c/strong>, to bring temporary relief to cities feeling the bite from the sudden closure of recycling centers across the state. The bill provides $10 million for recycling centers and gives grocers a reprieve from paying some recycling fees. Both bills passed the Legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SB 1\u003c/strong> is aimed at blunting any weakening of federal environmental laws in California by the Trump Administration. It was sent to Gov. Newsom early Saturday morning with strong backing from environmental groups, despite vigorous objections from Sen. Dianne Feinstein and some water groups who warned against creating two sets of environmental standards. If signed by the governor (or allowed to take effect without his signature) it would replace any federal environmental regulation (Clean Power Plan, Endangered Species Act, etc.) with a state alternative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AB 1080 and SB 54:\u003c/strong> The legislative session ended without passage of the bills, which would have enacted the strongest plastic pollution rules in the U.S. The bills are eligible to be considered next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan required plastics manufacturers to take responsibility for the fate of their products — from coffee cup lids to takeout boxes to plastic packaging.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Businesses would have had to ensure that plastic forks, for example, are recyclable or face a potential ban. If the bill had passed, all of the state’s single-use plastic utensils would need to be recyclable or compostable by 2030, and companies must reduce waste from plastic packaging by 75%.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Wildfires\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SB 160:\u003c/strong> This bill mandates that counties include “cultural competence” into emergency plans. It’s partially a response to elderly and non-English-speaking residents who missed emergency alerts during the state’s recent wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill, which has been sent to Newsom for his signature, calls for local communities to hold public forums that represent residents of many backgrounds when counties plan their emergency protocols.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SB 520\u003c/strong> would give utilities like PG&E the designation of “provider of last resort” in the areas they serve. Utilities already enjoy that privilege in practice, but the law sponsored by Sen. Robert Hertzberg would enshrine it in the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics say the bill could limit the options that cities and counties have to wrest control from utilities and run them municipally, and limit opportunities for community choice aggregation just as they are starting to thrive. The legislation has been sent to Newsom for his signature.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Other Notable Bills\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SB 206:\u003c/strong> NBA icon LeBron James threw his weight behind SB 206, the “Fair Pay to Play” bill by East Bay Sen. Nancy Skinner that would allow student-athletes at all four-year colleges in California to sign endorsement deals and receive compensation for the use of their names, images or likenesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But NCAA President Mark Emmert wrote in a letter to Newsom that signing the legislation could make it “impossible to host fair national championships.” He also implied that if the bill became law, athletes at California schools could be barred from competing in NCAA national championships.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonetheless, the Senate and the Assembly passed the bill without any opposition. Now — will LeBron be there for the bill signing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AB 44: \u003c/strong>Anti-fur advocates have long sought a ban on killing animals for their fur. And if Newsom signs this bill, which he said he will in a tweet, California will become the first state in the nation to ban the creation of new fur products. Republican critics said the state was once again telling Californians what they can and cannot do (the nanny state argument) and that it was disrespectful to Native Americans, whose cultures value fur. The mink, rabbit and coyote communities are no doubt pleased.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AB 1505\u003c/strong> seeks to more closely regulate California’s 1,300 charter schools. It would allow school districts to consider the impact to the community and the neighborhood schools when reviewing applications for new or expanded charter schools. It would require charter school teachers to be credentialed and establishes a two-year moratorium on non-classroom based charter schools. The legislation has been sent to Newsom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SB 313:\u003c/strong> Another victory for furry citizens of California, this bill would ban the use of wild animals in circus acts, including bears, elephants, tigers and monkeys. If signed by Newsom, California will become the third state after New Jersey and Hawaii to enact such a ban.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Steve Glazer (D-Orinda) said the liquid landed on his head and splashed onto five other senators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The woman, identified as 43-year-old Rebecca Dalelio of Santa Cruz County, is linked to some of the anti-vaccine protesters demonstrating in recent weeks over the passage of Senate Bills 276 and 714 aimed at tightening up medical exemptions for children’s vaccines. She was arrested and charged with assault, vandalism and disrupting the business at hand in the Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CHP cordoned off the Senate, forcing lawmakers, media and others to move into a committee room to finish its business hours later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Below are some of the highlights from this legislative session, including bills that have already been signed into law, are awaiting signature or are in limbo until next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Children’s Issues\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AB 378:\u003c/strong> In-home child care providers would be allowed to unionize under this measure. Supporters said unionizing could give child care workers a voice and encourage them to stay in the industry. The bill has made it through the Legislature. Several similar bills have either died or been vetoed by governors in the past. But supporters are hoping this measure will be signed by Governor Gavin Newsom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

This happens when a family is also receiving government assistance, like welfare or Medi-Cal. The government takes the rest of the money to repay the public for the cost of those safety net programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And parents that fail to pay their required child support on time see huge interest added to those debts — 10% a year. In addition to the crippling debt that racks up, parents can also lose their driver’s license, or go to jail if they fall too far behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two bills now on Newsom’s desk would change that: Oakland Sen. Nancy Skinner’s SB337 will increase the amount of child support paid to families on welfare assistance. Families with one child will get $100 a month under the bill; families with two or more kids will receive $200 a month. And AB 1092 will end the practice of adding interest to child support debt. Both bills, if signed by Newsom, will take effect in 2022.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Health\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SB 24:\u003c/strong> State lawmakers have passed a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11772337/california-again-considers-making-abortion-pills-available-at-public-colleges\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bill\u003c/a> that would require student health centers at all 34 state campuses to provide medication abortions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the measure becomes law, it will be the first of its kind in the U.S. The bill’s supporters say they want to remove the obstacles women face accessing medical abortion off campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While a consortium of women’s groups that support abortion rights has promised to pay for all the required ultrasound equipment and upfront training costs of providing the abortion pill on campus, eventually universities would likely need to dip into tax dollars or student fees for ongoing costs — which abortion opponents object to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SB 276/SB 714:\u003c/strong> California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11773308/anti-vaccine-protesters-swarm-capitol-as-lawmakers-pass-bill-limiting-medical-exemptions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pair of bills\u003c/a> into law earlier this week to crack down on doctors who write fraudulent medical exemptions for schoolchildren’s vaccinations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The news laws would create state oversight of medical exemptions for vaccines required by most schools and day care centers in California. Under them, the state would begin collecting medical exemptions electronically by Jan. 1, 2021. But health department officials would review them only when a school’s immunization rate falls below 95% or when a doctor writes more than five medical exemptions per year (beginning in 2020).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The laws would also allow officials to revoke any medical exemptions written by doctors who have faced disciplinary action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since being introduced last year, hundreds of parents have protested the legislation, insisting it would disrupt confidential doctor-patient relationships and scare doctors from writing new exemptions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SB 343:\u003c/strong> Under legislation signed into law last week, Kaiser Permanente will have to share more information — like other insurers do — on revenue and expenses at each of its facilities, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/health-and-medicine/article234806097.html#storylink=cpy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Sacramento Bee\u003c/a> reported. The legislation was introduced on behalf of Kaiser’s largest union, the Service Employees International Union, which has been in contract negotiations for roughly a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Housing\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AB 1482\u003c/strong> marks the biggest victory for California renter protections in decades. It would create a statewide limit on rent increases of 5% plus inflation, and requires that landlords provide a “just cause” when evicting tenants who have been renting for a year. The limits on rent hikes don’t go nearly as far as local rent control laws in places like San Francisco and Oakland, but it would cover millions of Californians whose units don’t already have such protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure exempts units under 15 years old, but it was opposed by real estate agents who argued that the legislation would discourage construction of rental housing. Newsom has committed to signing the bill, which will sunset after 10 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AB 1487\u003c/strong>, which has been sent to Newsom, would allow for a Bay Area regional ballot measure to raise money for affordable housing. Previous measures on ballots in the nine counties have raised taxes to pay for transportation and bay restoration. The executive board of the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) would decide what form a potential revenue-raising measure would take.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SB 330\u003c/strong>, which has been sent to Newsom, would prohibit local governments from downzoning by either placing a moratorium on development or lowering the number of housing units permitted. It also would speed up the permitting process for development. The provision sunsets after five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Law Enforcement\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SB 22\u003c/strong> requires prompt testing of newly collected rape kits in Califonia. Under the bill, new rape kits must be submitted for testing within 20 days and actually tested with 120 days. The bill’s author, Senator Connie Leyva (D-Chino) says the measure would help solve crimes and prevent testing backlogs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Survivors should never have to wait years or even decades for their rape kits to be tested and it is outrageous that collected evidence could ever sit on a shelf untested,” Leyva said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SB 230 \u003c/strong>is meant to reduce the use of force among law enforcement agencies. Governor Newsom has signed it into law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new law requires agencies to maintain a policy providing guidelines on the use of force. That policy must also include de-escalation techniques and other alternatives to force, and specific guidelines for when deadly force can be used. In addition, the agencies’ policies must include a way to evaluate and review all use- of-force incidents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SB 230\u003c/strong> is meant to be used in conjunction with \u003cstrong>AB 392\u003c/strong>, which Newsom signed into law in August. It states law enforcement can use deadly force only when “necessary,” rather than just “reasonable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AB 61\u003c/strong> would expand the scope of people able to request a gun violence restraining order against a person they believe is a danger to themselves or others. Currently, only immediate family members and police are allowed to make a request. This measure would allow employers, co-workers, schoolteachers and employees to request a restraining order as well. The legislation has been sent to Newsom for his signature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AB 1215\u003c/strong> places a three-year ban on the use of facial recognition technology on body cameras by the state and local law enforcement agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill was supported by the ACLU, which said the technology is not ready for prime time. To prove its point, the ACLU entered photos of all 120 state legislators into a database of mugshots. The software incorrectly identified 26 of the lawmakers as criminals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco and Oakland have already passed similar legislation. The bill has been sent to Newsom for his signature.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Prisons\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AB 32\u003c/strong> would ban the use of private for-profit prisons and detention centers in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bill author Rob Bonta (D-Oakland) said there’s no room for the facilities in the state. “California should not be home to companies that are profiteering from the tearing of innocent children from their families. This is inhumane and goes against who we are as Californians and Americans,” Bonta said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics say the measure would reduce the state’s options for dealing with prison overcrowding and put more pressure on local jails to hold dangerous inmates. The legislation has been sent to Newsom for his signature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SB 132,\u003c/strong> which would allow transgender prisoners in the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) to be housed according to their gender identity, and not their sex assigned at birth, will be carried over to the next session.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California would be the third state in the nation to pass such legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill’s sponsor, Sen. Scott Wiener of San Francisco, said the coalition supporting the legislation had decided to make it a two-year bill so they could “come to a solution that works for” the community, CDCR and Newsom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Transgender people in our prison system are among the most marginalized people in society, and we must protect them,” he said Friday in a statement. “Over the fall recess, I will join community leaders to visit several state prisons to meet with transgender people who are incarcerated there. This listening tour will help us craft the best legislation possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SB 136\u003c/strong> is part of a larger push in California to roll back tough on crime laws that helped pack prisons and jails to the brim and resulted in ballooning corrections spending in the Golden State.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill would end the practice of automatically adding an extra year to a defendant’s sentence if they had previously served time for a felony. Wiener said 11,000 people currently in prison have this extra year tacked on at a cost of $80,000 a year. State officials estimate that the change would save taxpayers $80 million a year. The legislation has passed the Legislature and is heading to the governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Environment\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AB 792\u003c/strong> would establish a minimum level of recycled content – 50% – in plastic bottles by 2035. On Monday, Assemblyman Phil Ting introduced another bill, \u003cstrong>AB 54\u003c/strong>, to bring temporary relief to cities feeling the bite from the sudden closure of recycling centers across the state. The bill provides $10 million for recycling centers and gives grocers a reprieve from paying some recycling fees. Both bills passed the Legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SB 1\u003c/strong> is aimed at blunting any weakening of federal environmental laws in California by the Trump Administration. It was sent to Gov. Newsom early Saturday morning with strong backing from environmental groups, despite vigorous objections from Sen. Dianne Feinstein and some water groups who warned against creating two sets of environmental standards. If signed by the governor (or allowed to take effect without his signature) it would replace any federal environmental regulation (Clean Power Plan, Endangered Species Act, etc.) with a state alternative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AB 1080 and SB 54:\u003c/strong> The legislative session ended without passage of the bills, which would have enacted the strongest plastic pollution rules in the U.S. The bills are eligible to be considered next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan required plastics manufacturers to take responsibility for the fate of their products — from coffee cup lids to takeout boxes to plastic packaging.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Businesses would have had to ensure that plastic forks, for example, are recyclable or face a potential ban. If the bill had passed, all of the state’s single-use plastic utensils would need to be recyclable or compostable by 2030, and companies must reduce waste from plastic packaging by 75%.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Wildfires\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SB 160:\u003c/strong> This bill mandates that counties include “cultural competence” into emergency plans. It’s partially a response to elderly and non-English-speaking residents who missed emergency alerts during the state’s recent wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill, which has been sent to Newsom for his signature, calls for local communities to hold public forums that represent residents of many backgrounds when counties plan their emergency protocols.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SB 520\u003c/strong> would give utilities like PG&E the designation of “provider of last resort” in the areas they serve. Utilities already enjoy that privilege in practice, but the law sponsored by Sen. Robert Hertzberg would enshrine it in the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics say the bill could limit the options that cities and counties have to wrest control from utilities and run them municipally, and limit opportunities for community choice aggregation just as they are starting to thrive. The legislation has been sent to Newsom for his signature.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Other Notable Bills\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SB 206:\u003c/strong> NBA icon LeBron James threw his weight behind SB 206, the “Fair Pay to Play” bill by East Bay Sen. Nancy Skinner that would allow student-athletes at all four-year colleges in California to sign endorsement deals and receive compensation for the use of their names, images or likenesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But NCAA President Mark Emmert wrote in a letter to Newsom that signing the legislation could make it “impossible to host fair national championships.” He also implied that if the bill became law, athletes at California schools could be barred from competing in NCAA national championships.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonetheless, the Senate and the Assembly passed the bill without any opposition. Now — will LeBron be there for the bill signing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AB 44: \u003c/strong>Anti-fur advocates have long sought a ban on killing animals for their fur. And if Newsom signs this bill, which he said he will in a tweet, California will become the first state in the nation to ban the creation of new fur products. Republican critics said the state was once again telling Californians what they can and cannot do (the nanny state argument) and that it was disrespectful to Native Americans, whose cultures value fur. The mink, rabbit and coyote communities are no doubt pleased.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AB 1505\u003c/strong> seeks to more closely regulate California’s 1,300 charter schools. It would allow school districts to consider the impact to the community and the neighborhood schools when reviewing applications for new or expanded charter schools. It would require charter school teachers to be credentialed and establishes a two-year moratorium on non-classroom based charter schools. The legislation has been sent to Newsom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Instead she prosecuted the schizophrenic woman who was severely injured in the shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris charged Teresa Sheehan with assaulting the officers, alleging she came at them with a kitchen knife after they forced their way into her room. But the jury was not convinced. It deadlocked in favor of acquitting Sheehan on the assault charges, and found her not guilty of threatening to kill a social worker who had called the police for help to get Sheehan into a psychiatric hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Somebody used very poor judgement in deciding to bring these charges,” said Laurie Levenson, a criminal law professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If (Harris) actually looked at it and said, ‘This is a righteous case, I want to go after a mentally ill woman who was shot,’ then you question that decision.

After a legal battle that lasted several years and included arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court, Sheehan won a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11129913/landmark-s-f-case-on-police-force-and-mental-illness-settles-for-1-million\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$1 million settlement\u003c/a>. Her civil suit also resulted in a landmark appellate court ruling that says police must take more care when interacting with people they know have a mental illness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris was not involved in the civil suit. Her campaign spokesperson declined to say how involved Harris was in making decisions about the criminal case, but said she appropriately did her job in charging Sheehan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was the responsibility of the District Attorney’s office to pursue accountability for individuals who may have committed assault against police officers,” Kate Waters wrote in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over her years as district attorney and California attorney general, Harris developed a reputation for being \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2019-08-05/kamala-harris-police-shootings-black-lives-matter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cautious on criminal justice\u003c/a> issues and took criticism from across the political spectrum.

Her civil suit also resulted in a landmark appellate court ruling that says police must take more care when interacting with people they know have a mental illness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris was not involved in the civil suit. Her campaign spokesperson declined to say how involved Harris was in making decisions about the criminal case, but said she appropriately did her job in charging Sheehan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was the responsibility of the District Attorney’s office to pursue accountability for individuals who may have committed assault against police officers,” Kate Waters wrote in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over her years as district attorney and California attorney general, Harris developed a reputation for being \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2019-08-05/kamala-harris-police-shootings-black-lives-matter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cautious on criminal justice\u003c/a> issues and took criticism from across the political spectrum. Those on the left deride her \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/17/opinion/kamala-harris-criminal-justice.html?searchResultPosition=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">for upholding wrongful convictions\u003c/a> and the death penalty, while law enforcement and moderate Democrats were upset that in 2004 she\u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/diaz/article/Harris-and-the-death-penalty-years-of-13693075.php?psid=kcl0t\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> declined to seek the death penalty for a man\u003c/a> who had killed a police officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris recently released a \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/story/2019/09/09/kamala-harris-criminal-justice-reform-1485443?nname=california-playbook&nid=00000150-384f-da43-aff2-bf7fd35a0000&nrid=00000165-d177-daa2-ade5-d17f3d560000&nlid=641189\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">plan for criminal justice reform\u003c/a> that involves reversing some of her earlier positions.

"content": "\u003cp>Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang wants to give cash to every American each month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Susie Garza has never heard of Yang. But since February, she’s been getting $500 a month from a nonprofit in Stockton, as part of an experiment that offers something unusual in presidential politics: a trial run of a campaign promise, highlighting the benefits and challenges in real time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garza can spend the money however she wants. She uses $150 of it to pay for her cellphone and another $100 or so to pay off her dog’s veterinarian bills. She spends the rest on her two grandsons now that she can afford to buy them birthday presents online and let them get the big bag of chips at the 7-Eleven.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve never been able to do that. I thought it was just the coolest thing,” said Garza, who is unemployed and previously was addicted to drugs, though she said she has been sober for 18 years following a stint in prison. “I like it because I feel more independent, like I’m in charge. I really have something that’s my own.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Susie Garza, Stockton resident\"]‘I like it because I feel more independent, like I’m in charge. I really have something that’s my own.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garza is part of an experiment testing the impact of “universal basic income,” an old idea getting new life thanks to the 2020 presidential race, although Stockton’s project is an independent one and has no connection to any presidential race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yang, a tech entrepreneur, has anchored his long-shot bid with a proposal to give $1,000 in cash to every American, saying the payments will shield workers from the pain of certain job losses caused by automation. The idea has helped him win unexpected support, and even muscle out some better-known candidates from the debate stages. His proposal isn’t too far off from one by U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris, one of the top contenders for the Democratic nomination, who has a proposal to give up to $500 a month to working families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stockton, once known as the foreclosure capital of the country and for one of the nation’s largest municipal bankruptcies, is a step ahead of both candidates. In February, the city launched the Stockton Economic Empowerment Demonstration, a pilot program spearheaded by a new mayor and financed in part by a nonprofit led by Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes. The city chose 125 people who live in census tracts at or below the city’s median household income of $46,033. They get the money on a debit card on the 15th of each month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think poverty is immoral, I think it is antiquated and I think it shouldn’t exist,” said Michael Tubbs, the city’s 29-year-old Democratic mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tubbs’ personal story includes a cousin who was killed, a father who is in prison and a mother who, as a teenager, raised him with the help of multiple jobs. He found his way to Stanford and public service, where he persuaded his beleaguered city to sign on to a provocative new idea: guaranteed cash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stockton residents, who have elected Republican mayors for 16 out of the last 22 years, were skeptical, worried about encouraging people not to work. Tubbs said he calmed their fears by noting the money came from private donations, not taxpayer dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would tell people all that time that would be upset or would call angry, I would say, well, I’m just as angry as you are, but I’m angry about the problem. I’m not angry about possible solutions,” Tubbs said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A team of researchers is monitoring the participants. Their chief interest is not finances but happiness. They are using what they call a “mattering scale” to measure how much people feel like they matter to society.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Do people notice you are there? Those things are correlated to health and well-being,” said Stacia Martin-West, a researcher at the University of Tennessee who is working on the program, along with Amy Castro Baker at the University of Pennsylvania.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"universal-basic-income\" label=\"Related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The money has made Jovan Bravo happier. The 31-year-old Stockton native and construction worker is married and has three children, ages 13, 8 and 4.

She uses $150 of it to pay for her cellphone and another $100 or so to pay off her dog’s veterinarian bills. She spends the rest on her two grandsons now that she can afford to buy them birthday presents online and let them get the big bag of chips at the 7-Eleven.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve never been able to do that. I thought it was just the coolest thing,” said Garza, who is unemployed and previously was addicted to drugs, though she said she has been sober for 18 years following a stint in prison. “I like it because I feel more independent, like I’m in charge.

The idea has helped him win unexpected support, and even muscle out some better-known candidates from the debate stages. His proposal isn’t too far off from one by U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris, one of the top contenders for the Democratic nomination, who has a proposal to give up to $500 a month to working families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stockton, once known as the foreclosure capital of the country and for one of the nation’s largest municipal bankruptcies, is a step ahead of both candidates. In February, the city launched the Stockton Economic Empowerment Demonstration, a pilot program spearheaded by a new mayor and financed in part by a nonprofit led by Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes. The city chose 125 people who live in census tracts at or below the city’s median household income of $46,033. They get the money on a debit card on the 15th of each month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think poverty is immoral, I think it is antiquated and I think it shouldn’t exist,” said Michael Tubbs, the city’s 29-year-old Democratic mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tubbs’ personal story includes a cousin who was killed, a father who is in prison and a mother who, as a teenager, raised him with the help of multiple jobs. He found his way to Stanford and public service, where he persuaded his beleaguered city to sign on to a provocative new idea: guaranteed cash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stockton residents, who have elected Republican mayors for 16 out of the last 22 years, were skeptical, worried about encouraging people not to work. Tubbs said he calmed their fears by noting the money came from private donations, not taxpayer dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would tell people all that time that would be upset or would call angry, I would say, well, I’m just as angry as you are, but I’m angry about the problem. I’m not angry about possible solutions,” Tubbs said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A team of researchers is monitoring the participants. Their chief interest is not finances but happiness. They are using what they call a “mattering scale” to measure how much people feel like they matter to society.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Do people notice you are there? Those things are correlated to health and well-being,” said Stacia Martin-West, a researcher at the University of Tennessee who is working on the program, along with Amy Castro Baker at the University of Pennsylvania.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

On Tuesday, Pacific Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric are expected to tell the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) that investors — spooked by the utilities’ liabilities from sparking recent wildfires — demand more incentive to hold stock in the companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ratepayers would get hit with higher bills if the CPUC greenlights the boosted profit payouts, known in finance as the “return on equity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11742177/a-major-state-utility-pushes-to-hike-up-prices\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">asking\u003c/a> for significantly higher payouts in April, in recent weeks the utilities have scaled back their profit proposals.

The law establishes a wildfire fund paid for by both ratepayers and shareholders.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E, California’s largest investor-owned utility, had initially asked the CPUC to let it hike its return on equity from the current 10.25% to 16%. But with AB 1054, PG&E argues that investors are likely to accept a smaller bump in profits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because of the leadership of the Governor and the Legislature in creating a statewide fund to cover the costs of future wildfires in California, PG&E is able to reduce its proposed return on equity from 16% to 12%,” a PG&E spokeswoman told KQED in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"The PG&E Bankruptcy\" tag=\"pge-bankruptcy\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said the change would support investments in its infrastructure and service reliability.\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11721763/pge-just-filed-for-bankruptcy-heres-what-happens-next\"> PG&E has been in \u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11721763/pge-just-filed-for-bankruptcy-heres-what-happens-next\">bankruptcy protection\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11721763/pge-just-filed-for-bankruptcy-heres-what-happens-next\"> since January, shortly after its equipment sparked the 2018 \u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11760156/report-pge-knew-about-extensive-power-line-problems-but-delayed-repairs-for-years\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Camp Fire\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11721763/pge-just-filed-for-bankruptcy-heres-what-happens-next\">, the deadliest and most destructive fire in state history.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics argue that the CPUC shouldn’t agree to the utilities’ proposals because of how AB 1054 weakens the standard for holding the companies accountable when their equipment causes fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“AB 1054 gives away the whole store to the utilities financially,” said Loretta Lynch, former president of the CPUC. “They’re playing a shell game with financial concepts, using the guise of wildfire risks to pump up their profits.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In testimony submitted on its behalf ahead of Tuesday’s CPUC hearing (see below), PG&E acknowledges that AB 1054 “improv[es] the credit quality and risk perception of PG&E in connection with wildfires.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But PG&E\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>also maintains that uncertainty for investors remains, including the possibility that the wildfire fund could run out of money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E’s request for a higher return on equity is part of the CPUC’s “cost of capital” proceeding, which comes as the utility is embroiled in another fight to hike rates in its General Rate Case, or GRC.

That, in turn, establishes how much they’re allowed to charge.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For PG&E customers, the utility’s efforts to increase both rates and the return on equity could cost the average residential customer an extra $360 a year by 2022, according to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/2019/08/pges-rate-increases-what-you-need-to-know/\">CalMatters\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E has the added challenge of trying to attract investors while being the nation’s only investor-owned utility that currently pays no dividend, a consistent payout that’s a key incentive for shareholders. \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The utility \u003ca href=\"http://investor.pgecorp.com/shareholders/dividend-information/default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">suspended\u003c/a> its quarterly cash dividend after the deadly 2017 North Bay fires.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. District Judge William Alsup, who oversees PG&E’s felony \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11745625/pges-probation-sentence-judge-tells-board-to-visit-disaster-scenes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">probation\u003c/a> for the San Bruno \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/search?q=gas%20pipeline%20explosion&site=news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gas pipeline explosion\u003c/a>, has \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11760306/judge-orders-pge-to-answer-newspaper-report-on-its-response-to-power-line-dangers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">questioned\u003c/a> why PG&E was paying dividends when company officials knew it was falling behind on system maintenance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With so many factors involved, experts say figuring out an accurate payout for shareholders is more art than science.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we’re predicting here is what it will take in additional return to get investors to still want to buy this stock,” said Borenstein. “Nobody really knows the answer to that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[documentcloud url=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6374430-PDFA-CostofCapital2020-Test-PGE-20190801.html\" responsive=true height=800]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

But with AB 1054, PG&E argues that investors are likely to accept a smaller bump in profits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because of the leadership of the Governor and the Legislature in creating a statewide fund to cover the costs of future wildfires in California, PG&E is able to reduce its proposed return on equity from 16% to 12%,” a PG&E spokeswoman told KQED in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
