In the race for governor, by contrast, Jerry Brown pulls 57 percent to 17 percent for Republican Assemblyman Tim Donnelly. But then again, it \u003cem>is\u003c/em> still early. And the real leader in the secretary of state race is \"None of the Above,\" since 44 percent say they're undecided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last Republican to win a statewide election here was Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2006, and before him the GOP Winner's Circle is -- well, you don't really have enough people to make a circle. So what gives this time?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Field Poll director Mark DiCamillo simply says \"it's mainly because most Republicans are coalescing around Peterson's candidacy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans make up a shrinking portion of the California electorate -- now less than 30 percent, right where Peterson's number is at. Padilla, on the other hand, is splitting the vote with others, including another Democrat, Derek Cressman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Padilla actually benefited quite a bit from (Democrat) Leland Yee's withdrawal from the race,\" says DiCamillo, noting that until getting arrested in an FBI sting and dropping out, Yee was close behind Padilla in the polls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Padilla remains the most formidable of the Democrats in the race,\" says DiCamillo. \"There's a huge market of voters out there that he can still attempt to attract. I would say he has a greater upside potential to expand his base\" by getting Democrats and nonpartisan voters (now one-fifth of the electorate in California) to support him between now and November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One interesting note in the poll: Political insiders and journalists are well acquainted with another secretary of state candidate running as an \"independent\" candidate with no party preference: Dan Schnur. The ever quotable former-Republican-consultant-turned-academic pulls just 4 percent of the vote. It's the first time the Field Poll has ever measured support for a \"nonpartisan\" candidate for statewide office, according to DiCamillo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Dan doesn't have the opportunity to attract partisan voters because he has no party affiliation next to his name. That may actually be hindering his campaign a bit.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It \u003cem>is\u003c/em> still early. Peterson, who's Hollywood-handsome in a Clark Kent kind of way, could do well on TV but has no money -- less than $2,000 cash on hand in his latest campaign finance report.

In the race for governor, by contrast, Jerry Brown pulls 57 percent to 17 percent for Republican Assemblyman Tim Donnelly. But then again, it \u003cem>is\u003c/em> still early. And the real leader in the secretary of state race is \"None of the Above,\" since 44 percent say they're undecided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last Republican to win a statewide election here was Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2006, and before him the GOP Winner's Circle is -- well, you don't really have enough people to make a circle. So what gives this time?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Field Poll director Mark DiCamillo simply says \"it's mainly because most Republicans are coalescing around Peterson's candidacy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans make up a shrinking portion of the California electorate -- now less than 30 percent, right where Peterson's number is at.

The ever quotable former-Republican-consultant-turned-academic pulls just 4 percent of the vote. It's the first time the Field Poll has ever measured support for a \"nonpartisan\" candidate for statewide office, according to DiCamillo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Dan doesn't have the opportunity to attract partisan voters because he has no party affiliation next to his name.

Those scheduled to appear included Keith Jackson, a former school board member and Yee political consultant accused of arms trafficking, participating in a murder-for-hire scheme and corruption.

Jerry Brown, the Democratic incumbent who has $19.7 million in the bank already. His average donor gave $16,130.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Donnelly's campaign stressed that he has received contributions from a much larger base of supporters than Kashkari.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our opponent may have raised more money, but I don't have Wall Street bank buddies to call in favors from. Wall Street doesn't like me because they know I will make them accountable,'' Donnelly said in a statement emailed by his campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A number of Donnelly donors gave the symbolic recurring amount of $17.76, promoted as an option on Donnelly's website as a contribution to become a member of \"the Patriot Club.\" The amount is a reference to 1776, the year the Declaration of Independence was signed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Donnelly's expenditures so far this year include $22,000 for campaign videos and hundreds more to fly a videographer to shoot them, as well as $11,500, at a rate of $5,000 a month, to his former campaign manager, Jennifer Kerns. She quit earlier this month in a disagreement over campaign strategy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reports also show more than $9,200 spent on private flights between California cities on two days in February. A spokeswoman for the campaign, Katherine Parkinson, said a pilot normally donates the use of his plane and fuel but he was unavailable after the campaign had already booked some events, including one featuring actress Maria Conchita Alonso, who appeared in a video with Donnelly.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\"> A number of Donnelly donors gave the symbolic recurring amount of $17.76, promoted as an option on Donnelly's website as a contribution to become a member of 'the Patriot Club.' \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Donors were solicited to underwrite the costs, she said. The report also lists a gift worth $5,000 for a flight on another day in February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like Donnelly, Kashkari also has spent heavily since announcing his bid on Jan. 21, reporting expenditures of $527,000, including more than $230,000 for campaign consultants and staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown, who is notoriously stingy, has paid $30,000 to his campaign consulting firm, SCN Strategies, and reported expenditures of $156,000, including $60,000 spent on his behalf for fundraisers and polling. He also paid $25,000 to political adviser Ned Ruthrauff, who also serves as a director in the office of the governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A political spokesman for Brown, Dan Newman, said Ruthrauff \"splits his time'' between the two jobs. State campaign finance laws require a strict wall between activities that are performed as part of an elected or appointed office and those that involve campaigning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year's race is expected to be far less costly than the 2010 gubernatorial contest, when Brown's campaign spent $36.5 million in his successful bid, and the campaign of former eBay CEO Meg Whitman, who spent $178.5 million. Of that, about $144 million came from Whitman's personal fortune.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown also was aided in 2010 by at least $26 million in spending by independent groups that supported him, mostly labor unions.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Jerry Brown, the Democratic incumbent who has $19.7 million in the bank already. His average donor gave $16,130.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Donnelly's campaign stressed that he has received contributions from a much larger base of supporters than Kashkari.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our opponent may have raised more money, but I don't have Wall Street bank buddies to call in favors from. Wall Street doesn't like me because they know I will make them accountable,'' Donnelly said in a statement emailed by his campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A number of Donnelly donors gave the symbolic recurring amount of $17.76, promoted as an option on Donnelly's website as a contribution to become a member of \"the Patriot Club.\" The amount is a reference to 1776, the year the Declaration of Independence was signed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Donnelly's expenditures so far this year include $22,000 for campaign videos and hundreds more to fly a videographer to shoot them, as well as $11,500, at a rate of $5,000 a month, to his former campaign manager, Jennifer Kerns. She quit earlier this month in a disagreement over campaign strategy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reports also show more than $9,200 spent on private flights between California cities on two days in February. A spokeswoman for the campaign, Katherine Parkinson, said a pilot normally donates the use of his plane and fuel but he was unavailable after the campaign had already booked some events, including one featuring actress Maria Conchita Alonso, who appeared in a video with Donnelly.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\"> A number of Donnelly donors gave the symbolic recurring amount of $17.76, promoted as an option on Donnelly's website as a contribution to become a member of 'the Patriot Club.' \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Donors were solicited to underwrite the costs, she said. The report also lists a gift worth $5,000 for a flight on another day in February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like Donnelly, Kashkari also has spent heavily since announcing his bid on Jan. 21, reporting expenditures of $527,000, including more than $230,000 for campaign consultants and staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown, who is notoriously stingy, has paid $30,000 to his campaign consulting firm, SCN Strategies, and reported expenditures of $156,000, including $60,000 spent on his behalf for fundraisers and polling. He also paid $25,000 to political adviser Ned Ruthrauff, who also serves as a director in the office of the governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A political spokesman for Brown, Dan Newman, said Ruthrauff \"splits his time'' between the two jobs. State campaign finance laws require a strict wall between activities that are performed as part of an elected or appointed office and those that involve campaigning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year's race is expected to be far less costly than the 2010 gubernatorial contest, when Brown's campaign spent $36.5 million in his successful bid, and the campaign of former eBay CEO Meg Whitman, who spent $178.5 million. Of that, about $144 million came from Whitman's personal fortune.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown also was aided in 2010 by at least $26 million in spending by independent groups that supported him, mostly labor unions.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

He also is charged with accepting bribes from the former owner of Pacific Hospital of Long Beach to back legislation involving state workers' compensation laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calderon was elected to the state Senate in 2006 and represents Montebello, Bell Gardens and other southeastern Los Angeles suburbs. Wright, 61, served in the Assembly from 1996 to 2002, and has been in the Senate since 2008. He currently represents areas including Carson, Compton, Gardena, Lawndale, Hawthorne and Inglewood, though redistricting has changed the boundaries since he was accused of misrepresenting his legal residence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Calderon indictments threaten a powerful Democratic political family. His brother, former Assemblyman Tom Calderon, pleaded not guilty last week to eight counts of money laundering and conspiracy resulting from the same federal investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With both senators gone, a spokesman for Steinberg said their staffs will remain to help deal with issues raised by their constituents, while other senators will carry on with any pending legislation they had introduced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calderon is termed out of office after this year, but Wright is in the middle of a term that expires in 2016. Steinberg said he expects Wright would leave the Senate if a formal conviction is entered at his sentencing May 16, meaning a special election would then be held to replace him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some Republicans have not been satisfied with Wright's decision to take leave instead of resigning, but Democrats blocked a move to expel him on Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Is it possible that the scheme could have continued if Drobot hadn’t sought the assistance of a state senator?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Scott Glover: \u003c/strong>The allegation is that while it was continuing, Drobot was influencing Calderon to make sure that the favorable law remained on the books. Without that law in place, it’s very unlikely they would be able to do what they were allegedly doing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RM: \u003c/strong>We hear about workers' comp fraud all the time. What made this alleged scheme different?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SG: \u003c/strong>For one thing, the amount of money involved. It’s a half-billion dollars. It was a long-running scheme, it was just massive. An official from the state insurance department described it as the largest in the department's history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RM: \u003c/strong>Drobot is also the subject of at least two other civil lawsuits, including one filed by the state insurance commission fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SG: \u003c/strong> Correct. I think various insurers are going to be looking to recoup some of the money that they spent over the years feeding into this $500 million worth of billing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RM\u003c/strong>: The scale is unprecedented: the number of doctors and chiropractors involved.

It allegedly involved doctors and chiropractors who were being paid illegal kickbacks in order to send patients to the hospital. That part of the investigation is ongoing, and authorities are reluctant to talk about it and gave few details at the press conference last week. Just how widespread it is remains to be seen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's AP's story on the latest Calderon development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California state Sen. Ron Calderon, facing federal corruption charges alleging he took kickbacks while in office, said Sunday evening he has taken an indefinite leave of absence from the Legislature while he awaits trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The departure of Calderon deprives Senate Democrats of the two-thirds margin they need in the 40-member chamber to raise taxes, pass emergency legislation, override gubernatorial vetoes and put constitutional amendments before voters without Republican cooperation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calderon said in a statement that he wasn't resigning but will take time to focus on fighting the charges against him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I do not want to distract from the important work of the Senate and my colleagues on serious issues affecting my constituents and the people of California,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said that because of the complexity of the charges, he expects a lengthy leave stretching until the end of the legislative session in August.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calderon sent Senate President Pro tem Darrell Steinberg the request for leave Sunday evening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have accepted his request,\" Steinberg said in a two-sentence statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calderon was arraigned last Monday on charges that he accepted bribes totaling $100,000 in cash and trips, funneling some of the money to his children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He pleaded not guilty, but his fellow Democrats had given him until this coming Monday to resign, take leave or face being suspended.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By taking leave, Calderon will continue receiving his $95,291 annual salary but not the $163 daily expense payment he would get if he were traveling to Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calderon, of Montebello, is the second Senate Democrat this week to take leave while he fights criminal charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Roderick Wright, a Democrat who represents another Los Angeles-area district, requested the leave after he was convicted of perjury and voter fraud for lying about his legal residence. Wright is seeking to have his conviction overturned before he faces sentencing in May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steinberg, D-Sacramento, had said senators would suspend, but not expel, Calderon because he has not been convicted of a crime. But he and other Democrats called for Calderon to step down because he is charged with activities that Steinberg said \"strike at the very heart of what it means to be a public official.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calderon, 56, is charged with accepting bribes from an undercover FBI agent who pretended to own a Los Angeles movie studio and wanted to expand tax credits for the film industry. He also is charged with accepting bribes from the former owner of Pacific Hospital of Long Beach to back legislation involving state workers' compensation laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calderon was elected to the state Senate in 2006 and represents Montebello, Bell Gardens and other southeastern Los Angeles suburbs. Wright, 61, served in the Assembly from 1996 to 2002, and has been in the Senate since 2008. He currently represents areas including Carson, Compton, Gardena, Lawndale, Hawthorne and Inglewood, though redistricting has changed the boundaries since he was accused of misrepresenting his legal residence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Calderon indictments threaten a powerful Democratic political family. His brother, former Assemblyman Tom Calderon, pleaded not guilty last week to eight counts of money laundering and conspiracy resulting from the same federal investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With both senators gone, a spokesman for Steinberg said their staffs will remain to help deal with issues raised by their constituents, while other senators will carry on with any pending legislation they had introduced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calderon is termed out of office after this year, but Wright is in the middle of a term that expires in 2016. Steinberg said he expects Wright would leave the Senate if a formal conviction is entered at his sentencing May 16, meaning a special election would then be held to replace him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

His daughter earned nearly $40,000 for her work at the fictional movie studio set up by FBI agents. Calderon’s son actually did report to work for Drobot. He was paid about $10,000 per summer for “approximately 15 days of work. “Anything you can do, any help you could do for my kids is – you know that’s diamonds for me,” Calderon told an undercover FBI agent, according to the leaked affidavit. “That’s diamonds.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The indictment formalizes the allegations that have been dogging Calderon since October, \u003ca href=\"http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/calderon-dynasty.html\">when Al Jazeera America first published\u003c/a> a 124-page FBI affidavit detailing the bribery schemes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The fake movie producers\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FBI agents pretended to be independent film producers. They wanted Calderon to help pass a bill lowering California’s film tax credit threshold from $1 million to $750,000. In addition to the money they allegedly funneled to Calderon through his daughter’s fake job, the agents lavished Calderon with trips to Las Vegas and meals far exceeding legislative gift limits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the leaked affidavit, one of those Vegas trips led to Calderon partying with rappers Nelly and T.I. on the federal government’s dime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The film tax credit was never lowered, but Calderon wrote letters, introduced legislation and pushed other lawmakers to create a lower threshold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The insurance scam\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s hard to top undercover FBI agents bribing politicians – especially with \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1800241/\">American Hustle\u003c/a>\" contending for best picture this year – but state officials are calling the second aspect of this case “one of the largest workers’ compensation fraud cases in the history of the Department of Insurance.” Michael Drobot, who owned Pacific Hospital in Long Beach, has admitted to funneling more than $30,000 to Calderon in exchange for the lawmakers’ help in blocking an insurance reform bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/136091904&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drobot needed to stop the legislation because it would have put an end to a $500 million scam. For years, Drobot’s hospital had performed spinal fusion surgeries, jacked up the prices of the devices it was implanting, and then charged health insurance providers for the inflated costs. And to generate more business, Drobot paid $10,000 to $15,000 kickbacks to doctors who referred spinal surgery patients to Pacific Hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hospital was able to charge insurance companies for the spinal implants because of a loophole in California law. Medical hardware was billed separately from other fees. Lawmakers ultimately removed this “pass-through” language in 2013, but before that, Drobot bribed Calderon, the Insurance Committee chair, to try and block the efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Confrontation at the Bellagio\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In separate court filing, federal prosecutors responded to \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/11/13/calderon-claims-feds-asked-him-to-wear-wire/\">Calderon’s earlier claims that they were targeting him due to his refusal to wear a wire\u003c/a> and take part in a “sting operation” targeting Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The filing says Calderon’s claims had “no merit,” and revealed that FBI agents first confronted Calderon during a May encounter at one of Las Vegas’s most famous casinos. When Calderon arrived at the Bellagio, ostensibly for another lobbyist-funded romp, “The FBI agents explained to Calderon that they worked for the FBI’s Public Corruption Squad and had been investigating Calderon for quite some time.” Calderon talked to them for three hours that day, and met with the FBI five more times that month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal document reveals Calderon volunteered to wear a wire, and subsequently recorded several conversations with “another individual.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Calderon’s recorded conversations with the individual were brief and did not result in any criminal charges against the individual.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Call To Resign\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calderon will turn himself into authorities on Monday. He has previously denied any wrongdoing. Earlier this month he told KQED he had been \"unfairly targeted and retaliated against.\" Calderon has has yet to comment on today's charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Calderon’s fellow Senate Democrats now want him out. In a statement released Friday afternoon, Steinberg called on Calderon to resign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While acknowledging that as a criminal defendant, Calderon is innocent until proven guilty, Steinberg said, “given the seriousness of charges that strike at the very heart of what it means to be a public official, Senator Calderon’s continued service is a cloud over all the important work that we must get done this year. It is in the best interests of the people and the Senate if he resigns.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At a minimum, he should take a complete leave of absence until the criminal proceedings are finished,” Steinberg added. “If he does not resign, or take that leave of absence voluntarily, the Senate will seek to suspend him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 12px auto 6px auto;font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif;font-style: normal;font-variant: normal;font-weight: normal;font-size: 14px;line-height: normal\">\u003ca style=\"text-decoration: underline\" title=\"View Calderon Bribe Case - Indictment on Scribd\" href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/208440050/Calderon-Bribe-Case-Indictment\">Calderon Bribe Case - Indictment\u003c/a> by \u003ca style=\"text-decoration: underline\" title=\"View KQED News's profile on Scribd\" href=\"http://www.scribd.com/KQED_News\">KQED News\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe id=\"doc_80914\" src=\"//www.scribd.com/embeds/208440050/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&access_key=key-2afl4x5nq0hmr14iuohl&show_recommendations=false\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

He was paid about $10,000 per summer for “approximately 15 days of work. “Anything you can do, any help you could do for my kids is – you know that’s diamonds for me,” Calderon told an undercover FBI agent, according to the leaked affidavit. “That’s diamonds.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They wanted Calderon to help pass a bill lowering California’s film tax credit threshold from $1 million to $750,000.

For years, Drobot’s hospital had performed spinal fusion surgeries, jacked up the prices of the devices it was implanting, and then charged health insurance providers for the inflated costs. And to generate more business, Drobot paid $10,000 to $15,000 kickbacks to doctors who referred spinal surgery patients to Pacific Hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hospital was able to charge insurance companies for the spinal implants because of a loophole in California law. Medical hardware was billed separately from other fees. Lawmakers ultimately removed this “pass-through” language in 2013, but before that, Drobot bribed Calderon, the Insurance Committee chair, to try and block the efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Confrontation at the Bellagio\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In separate court filing, federal prosecutors responded to \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/11/13/calderon-claims-feds-asked-him-to-wear-wire/\">Calderon’s earlier claims that they were targeting him due to his refusal to wear a wire\u003c/a> and take part in a “sting operation” targeting Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The filing says Calderon’s claims had “no merit,” and revealed that FBI agents first confronted Calderon during a May encounter at one of Las Vegas’s most famous casinos. When Calderon arrived at the Bellagio, ostensibly for another lobbyist-funded romp, “The FBI agents explained to Calderon that they worked for the FBI’s Public Corruption Squad and had been investigating Calderon for quite some time.” Calderon talked to them for three hours that day, and met with the FBI five more times that month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal document reveals Calderon volunteered to wear a wire, and subsequently recorded several conversations with “another individual.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Calderon’s recorded conversations with the individual were brief and did not result in any criminal charges against the individual.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Call To Resign\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calderon will turn himself into authorities on Monday.

In a statement released Friday afternoon, Steinberg called on Calderon to resign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While acknowledging that as a criminal defendant, Calderon is innocent until proven guilty, Steinberg said, “given the seriousness of charges that strike at the very heart of what it means to be a public official, Senator Calderon’s continued service is a cloud over all the important work that we must get done this year. It is in the best interests of the people and the Senate if he resigns.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At a minimum, he should take a complete leave of absence until the criminal proceedings are finished,” Steinberg added. “If he does not resign, or take that leave of absence voluntarily, the Senate will seek to suspend him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 12px auto 6px auto;font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif;font-style: normal;font-variant: normal;font-weight: normal;font-size: 14px;line-height: normal\">\u003ca style=\"text-decoration: underline\" title=\"View Calderon Bribe Case - Indictment on Scribd\" href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/208440050/Calderon-Bribe-Case-Indictment\">Calderon Bribe Case - Indictment\u003c/a> by \u003ca style=\"text-decoration: underline\" title=\"View KQED News's profile on Scribd\" href=\"http://www.scribd.com/KQED_News\">KQED News\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe id=\"doc_80914\" src=\"//www.scribd.com/embeds/208440050/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&access_key=key-2afl4x5nq0hmr14iuohl&show_recommendations=false\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

They come here after school to escape the violence and, more important, to develop job skills and participate in the organization's wide array of arts and education programs. One of those programs, an industry-backed pilot called Project A-Game, teaches kids how to make video games.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a back room, a handful of kids are squished around computers working on their game, which is called \"Mr. Platformer.\" It sounds and looks like an old Nintendo game. Think Mario Brothers from the '80s, but it wasn't made decades ago. These five kids built it using modern game-making software.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morris Jackson is mixing the sounds for \"Mr. Platformer\" — things like the digital chime of a coin being picked up, a laser being shot, and that unmistakable warble of a power-up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I signed up because I love video games, always did,” he says, “I have been playing since I was a few months old.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It's old school. You have to navigate through 2-D levels and avoid pixelated monsters. It's the kind of game that Glen McKnight, the class instructor, fell in love with 20 years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These kids grew up on games,” he says, “kind of like I did, and that's kind of why I am in the industry.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McKnight works for a small game studio, and he has been hired on here as an instructor to impart his game-building know-how. Video games, he says, could be a bridge to the tech world for these kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's tough for a lot of our parents to realize that games (their kids) are addictively playing every day actually have the potential for a career,” McKnight says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Introducing new career ideas\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Project A-Game is funded by \u003ca href=\"http://www.theesa.com/newsroom/release_detail.asp?releaseID=213\" target=\"_blank\">a grant\u003c/a> from the California Endowment and the Entertainment Software Association, a trade organization for the gaming industry. The program doesn't place kids directly into tech jobs, but it does expose them to video game career opportunities they have probably never thought about — things like sound engineering and designing game levels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Darius Reed, for example, didn't sign up because he loves technology. He likes to draw.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Darius, he's really an artist,” McKnight says. “He had no affinity for the technical stuff, that's not what he was interested in, but he's seen how his characters come alive inside of levels.” \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\"> Census numbers show that Latinos and African-Americans in the United States hold only between 6 and 7 percent of science and technology jobs. \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Reed used Photoshop to draw the game's hero -- a white boxy character with a little top hat and a skinny red tie. “Since we are just going for something simple,” he says, “I just made him look like a mister, you know like somebody who is going to work, like a guy who works in the office.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An office job in the tech industry isn't something these kids thought much about before this class. Morris, the aspiring DJ, says he had never even talked with anyone in the tech industry. His instructor, McKnight, is the first person he has ever met with a tech job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Census numbers show that Latinos and African-Americans have been consistently underrepresented in science and technology jobs, holding between 6 percent and 7 percent nationally.
