"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

But some municipalities are experimenting with ways to solve that problem. In San Jose, California, voters passed a set of sweeping pension reforms back in 2012. The public employee unions fought back in court. Now a new initiative passed this November may offer a compromise that works.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a rainy day in October. Three recruiting officers from the San Jose Police Department are standing behind a table in a bustling room on a nearby public university campus. Today is the school’s career fair and the SJPD booth is covered in schwag–stickers, pens, even tiny bottles of hand sanitizer–emblazoned with the Department’s logo. They’re hoping job-seekers will stop and apply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11245181\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11245181\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/deputy_chief_michael_knox_-_ali_budner_499x665.jpg\" alt=\"Deputy Chief Michael Knox.\" width=\"400\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/deputy_chief_michael_knox_-_ali_budner_499x665.jpg 499w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/deputy_chief_michael_knox_-_ali_budner_499x665-160x213.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/deputy_chief_michael_knox_-_ali_budner_499x665-240x320.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/deputy_chief_michael_knox_-_ali_budner_499x665-375x500.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Deputy Chief Michael Knox. \u003ccite>(Ali Budner/Capital Public Radio)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Deputy Chief, Michael Knox says staffing numbers are at a dangerous low. In fact, he says they’re down at least 300 street-ready officers right now. “It causes us to put an enormous amount of stress on the existing staff,” Knox says “to make up for everyone who has left this department.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He blames the exodus mostly on a watershed moment back in 2012. That’s when San Jose voters passed \u003ca href=\"http://www.mef101.org/Resources/12-0605%20-%20Measure%20B%20-%20Pension%20Plan%20Amendments.pdf\">local ballot measure B\u003c/a>. The initiative poured vinegar into the sweet tea of public worker compensation deals by making sweeping cuts to retirement pensions. Current employees would have to pay more for their retirement benefits or take a less generous pension. New employees would be offered less. All public workers would lose their disability protections as well the certainty of their pensions, altogether if there was a fiscal emergency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That has made it increasingly difficult to compete with other agencies,” says Knox. “And not only to recruit but to retain our staff.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the man who pioneered Measure B — former San Jose Mayor, Chuck Reed — says pension reform was necessary.

But some municipalities are experimenting with ways to solve that problem. In San Jose, California, voters passed a set of sweeping pension reforms back in 2012.

The initiative poured vinegar into the sweet tea of public worker compensation deals by making sweeping cuts to retirement pensions. Current employees would have to pay more for their retirement benefits or take a less generous pension. New employees would be offered less. All public workers would lose their disability protections as well the certainty of their pensions, altogether if there was a fiscal emergency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The other person, of course, is the guy who came up with the concept, New York artist \u003ca href=\"https://vimeo.com/benrubin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ben Rubin.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The hope is that someone would look up and say: ‘What is that?’ ” Ben says. “What is that thing trying to say, you know? What is its message?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The name of this installation is San Jose Semaphore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Semaphore, by definition, is really a form of visual communication,” Siri explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Way back when, the only way to communicate surreptitiously over a short distance — say, from land to a ship — would be to rely on flag bearers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They would hold up the flag, and depending on the position of the flag, would let them know if it was safe to come in, or better to stay put,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This resonates with Geoff, the KQED listener who asked the question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I actually was in the Navy, and so I remember people communicating with flags, and it was always interesting to me because it looked very official, but a lot of times, they were talking about the latest baseball scores from ship to ship and things like that,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, the short story on San Jose Semaphore is that it’s an art installation. The \u003cem>long\u003c/em> story stretches back to artist Ben Rubin’s childhood in Boston during the 1970s. Back then, he owned a Heathkit shortwave radio. Sometimes, when he turned it on, he’d hear the strangest things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These sort of clicks and beeps and mechanized announcements,” Ben says. “Who could not listen to an encrypted message and not wonder what it says, you know?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As NPR reported in a 2000 feature for the “Lost and Found Sound” series, these were \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP5J9-D7_jw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">numbers stations\u003c/a>, shortwave radio broadcasts that historians believe transmitted messages to spies stationed around the world, starting in World War I.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To the average listener, the letters, numbers and songs broadcast on the stations sound random. But if you have the key to decode the gobbledygook — it’s a message.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnXPqUU6fI0]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ben was fascinated by these numbers stations. So when it came time for college, he got a bachelor’s degree in computer science and semiotics, the study of signs and symbols. After graduation, he starting making art inspired by his studies. Now he makes media installations using technology, sound, images and physical structures — like the piece on the top of Adobe’s building in San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Silicon Valley Loves A Challenge\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Each of these orange discs can assume four positions: horizontal, left-leaning diagonal, vertical, right-leaning diagonal.

The other person, of course, is the guy who came up with the concept, New York artist \u003ca href=\"https://vimeo.com/benrubin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ben Rubin.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The hope is that someone would look up and say: ‘What is that?’ ” Ben says. “What is that thing trying to say, you know? What is its message?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The name of this installation is San Jose Semaphore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Semaphore, by definition, is really a form of visual communication,” Siri explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Way back when, the only way to communicate surreptitiously over a short distance — say, from land to a ship — would be to rely on flag bearers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They would hold up the flag, and depending on the position of the flag, would let them know if it was safe to come in, or better to stay put,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This resonates with Geoff, the KQED listener who asked the question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I actually was in the Navy, and so I remember people communicating with flags, and it was always interesting to me because it looked very official, but a lot of times, they were talking about the latest baseball scores from ship to ship and things like that,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, the short story on San Jose Semaphore is that it’s an art installation. The \u003cem>long\u003c/em> story stretches back to artist Ben Rubin’s childhood in Boston during the 1970s. Back then, he owned a Heathkit shortwave radio. Sometimes, when he turned it on, he’d hear the strangest things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These sort of clicks and beeps and mechanized announcements,” Ben says. “Who could not listen to an encrypted message and not wonder what it says, you know?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As NPR reported in a 2000 feature for the “Lost and Found Sound” series, these were \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP5J9-D7_jw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">numbers stations\u003c/a>, shortwave radio broadcasts that historians believe transmitted messages to spies stationed around the world, starting in World War I.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To the average listener, the letters, numbers and songs broadcast on the stations sound random. But if you have the key to decode the gobbledygook — it’s a message.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/QnXPqUU6fI0'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/QnXPqUU6fI0'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ben was fascinated by these numbers stations. So when it came time for college, he got a bachelor’s degree in computer science and semiotics, the study of signs and symbols. After graduation, he starting making art inspired by his studies. Now he makes media installations using technology, sound, images and physical structures — like the piece on the top of Adobe’s building in San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Silicon Valley Loves A Challenge\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Each of these orange discs can assume four positions: horizontal, left-leaning diagonal, vertical, right-leaning diagonal.

Former City Councilman Pete Constant is the association’s vice president.

He says it’s not a repudiation of his flagship legislation but rather an affirmation. He says it locks in savings from the previous Measure B and shields them from the threat of litigation.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Davila \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/crime-courts/ci_30283980/judge-dismisses-bay-area-cities-suit-against-monsanto\">dismissed the cities' suits\u003c/a>, agreeing with Monsanto that California law makes stormwater the property of the state, not its municipalities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The cities do not take ownership of stormwater merely because it flows through municipal pipes on its way to the bay,\" Davila wrote..\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Davila is allowing the cities to amend and refile their lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All three cities plan to take the judge up on that offer. They will try to prove that because the cities are tasked with various tasks related to stormwater -- including pollution control -- they do have a property right and should be able to sue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is unfair to the cities to say, 'You are being required to clean up all of this stormwater, but we're not going to let you bring a lawsuit when there's a third party responsible for polluting that stormwater,' \" said John Fiske, one of the attorneys representing the cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fiske said there is a \"logical gap\" in state law that requires cities to clean up the stormwater but doesn't give them property rights to that same stormwater.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're going to show Judge Davila why that gap should not exist in the law and why the cities do have standing to bring stormwater cases,\" Fiske said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This case comes as the usefulness of \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/editorials/article/Word-change-will-help-California-capture-storm-9174021.php\">stormwater is getting a closer look\u003c/a> as California continues to deal with a prolonged drought.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Cities and towns have traditionally treated stormwater as an annoyance,\" said Dave Owen, a professor at UC Hastings College of the Law who specializes in water law. \"A lot of the water that floods out of our cities, especially during heavy rainstorms, is a problem when we send it off as stormwater, but it could be really useful if we could somehow hold onto it and make use of it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Owen said it's unclear whether cities own the stormwater that flows through their pipes or whether it belongs to the state and cities merely might have permission to use it, like a tenant who uses an apartment that a landlord actually owns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cities have until Sept. 13 to file their amended complaints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monsanto did not respond to requests for comment. But in a statement issued after Davila delivered his ruling, the company was critical of the cities' litigation. From the Mercury News:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"The court's ruling confirms that there is no legal basis of the cities' claims,\" Scott Partridge, vice president of global strategy at Monsanto, said in a statement. \"The cities of San Jose, Berkeley and Oakland have been ill-served by the overly aggressive tactics of their contingency fee counsel, and we hope this ruling will conclude this matter.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

Davila \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/crime-courts/ci_30283980/judge-dismisses-bay-area-cities-suit-against-monsanto\">dismissed the cities' suits\u003c/a>, agreeing with Monsanto that California law makes stormwater the property of the state, not its municipalities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The cities do not take ownership of stormwater merely because it flows through municipal pipes on its way to the bay,\" Davila wrote..\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Davila is allowing the cities to amend and refile their lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All three cities plan to take the judge up on that offer. They will try to prove that because the cities are tasked with various tasks related to stormwater -- including pollution control -- they do have a property right and should be able to sue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is unfair to the cities to say, 'You are being required to clean up all of this stormwater, but we're not going to let you bring a lawsuit when there's a third party responsible for polluting that stormwater,' \" said John Fiske, one of the attorneys representing the cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fiske said there is a \"logical gap\" in state law that requires cities to clean up the stormwater but doesn't give them property rights to that same stormwater.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're going to show Judge Davila why that gap should not exist in the law and why the cities do have standing to bring stormwater cases,\" Fiske said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This case comes as the usefulness of \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/editorials/article/Word-change-will-help-California-capture-storm-9174021.php\">stormwater is getting a closer look\u003c/a> as California continues to deal with a prolonged drought.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Cities and towns have traditionally treated stormwater as an annoyance,\" said Dave Owen, a professor at UC Hastings College of the Law who specializes in water law. \"A lot of the water that floods out of our cities, especially during heavy rainstorms, is a problem when we send it off as stormwater, but it could be really useful if we could somehow hold onto it and make use of it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Owen said it's unclear whether cities own the stormwater that flows through their pipes or whether it belongs to the state and cities merely might have permission to use it, like a tenant who uses an apartment that a landlord actually owns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cities have until Sept. 13 to file their amended complaints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monsanto did not respond to requests for comment. But in a statement issued after Davila delivered his ruling, the company was critical of the cities' litigation. From the Mercury News:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"The court's ruling confirms that there is no legal basis of the cities' claims,\" Scott Partridge, vice president of global strategy at Monsanto, said in a statement. \"The cities of San Jose, Berkeley and Oakland have been ill-served by the overly aggressive tactics of their contingency fee counsel, and we hope this ruling will conclude this matter.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
