California’s absurd energy policies

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:07:28 GMT

Every year, the California Legislature passes blank bills.Twenty, 30, even 40 pieces of blank legislation are introduced, each with a bill number, each completely empty of language except for a single line expressing the intent of the Legislature to fill them in later with something related to the budget.These blank “budget” bills go through all the required legislative steps intended to enable thoughtful consideration and transparency and then they are brought to the floor, passed, and sent to the other house. It’s a pantomime.The state’s entire budget process is mostly theater, because the real budget is negotiated behind closed doors by the governor and legislative leaders. That’s when backroom deals become “amendments” to the blank bills. These “budget trailer bills” nearly break the sound barrier as they fly through the Legislature and land on the governor’s desk, and by the time you find out what’s in them, it’s too late.And that is how the state passed a law mandating electri...

How much do the A’s matter to Oakland’s identity?

OAKLAND — What is lost when a sports team jilts a city, leaving a large, empty stadium behind?A’s fans know that if the once-#RootedInOakland team completes a new deal to buy land and build a stadium in Las Vegas, it won’t change a thing about Oakland’s cultural diversity, food offerings, artistic contributions, progressive values and overall coolness.They also know better than most the nuances of loving something that doesn’t love you back.“The important part of all this was Oakland pride,” said Tony Duncan, owner of the 2101 Club in East Oakland, a top local spot to watch A’s games. “Having the team here and the fans who watch them, it feels like family.”A’s President Dave Kaval has stressed that the planned move isn’t final, and the team doesn’t intend to leave East Oakland at least until its lease at the Coliseum ends in 2024.But city leaders appear ready to move on and Mayor Sheng Thao made clear Thur...

‘I was able to give back’: Landmark firefighting law sparks new hope for former inmates

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:07:28 GMT

When Benjamin Fowler was serving a second 10-year prison term, he didn’t see a clear path forward to a new life after his time was up. He was in his mid-30s, with a young son, a teenage daughter and a 2023 release date. He figured he would try to get back into landscaping or become a carpenter.Then in September of 2020, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed AB 2147 into law, allowing incarcerated people who served as inmate firefighters to have their records expunged. Prior to its passage, many inmates were unemployable as firefighters after leaving prison because of their criminal records — even if they had spent years doing the exact same job, and even though California had a shortage of firefighters.“As soon as I heard about that law being passed, it was probably a two-year process,” Fowler said. “But when I got to the fire camp, I knew that’s where I was supposed to be.”Benjamin Fowler, left, wearing a bandana, with a conservation camp crew in 2020.

DC attorney general vows to fight for medication abortion access after SCOTUS ruling

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:07:28 GMT

The District’s top prosecutor said Friday that he’ll continue to advocate for a popular abortion medication following a Supreme Court ruling that puts the drug’s access in legal limbo.The high court halted two rulings that would have limited the availability of mifepristone, which is used in more than half of all abortions in the country.The drug’s fate will now be argued next month in a lower court, prompting D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb to note that “it leaves the door open to blocking access to this safe and effective prescription drug in the future.”“My office is committed to protecting reproductive freedom in the District and across the country, and we won’t allow politics to limit heath care options for DC residents or visitors,” Schwalb said Friday evening.Schwalb joined a multistate lawsuit to expand access to medication abortion earlier this month and led a coalition that filed a challenge to a Texas judge’s rulin...

Leeds still in danger after Meslier errors in loss at Fulham

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:07:28 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Leeds remained in relegation danger in the Premier League after losing 2-1 at Fulham on the back of two mistakes from goalkeeper Illan Meslier on Saturday.Both of Fulham’s goals came in the second half after Meslier failed to deal with the crosses from the left, with Harry Wilson and Andreas Pereira benefitting from the goalkeeper only parrying the ball out into the middle of the area.An own-goal by Joao Palhinha in the 79th gave some late hope for Leeds, which started the game two points above the relegation zone and fell to a fourth loss in its last five games.The win could have been bigger for Fulham, with free-kick shots from Pereira and Willian hitting the goal frame in a chaotic second half. Instead, the hosts settled for the goals of Wilson, who smashed a fierce shot in off the underside of the crossbar in the 58th following Willian’s cross, and Pereira, who couldn’t miss inside the six-yard box after Meslier’s flap directed the ball straight a...
