At a time in our nation’s history when a free press is more essential to sustaining our democracy than ever before, political forces, changing technology and antitrust laws have inadvertently conspired to weaken the nation’s fourth estate.

The dual role of the media defined by Random House as the “ explicit capacity of advocacy and implicit ability to frame political issues,” has been compromised is part as the result of a few powerful platforms like Facebook and Google consume and control the lion’s share of digital advertising and in most instances, are now the main source of news consumption for many consumers.

These industry behemoths grow while local media declines as evidenced by the more than 30,000 industry jobs lost since 2008 according to a Pew Research Report. While at the same time, news deserts expand.

Equally as disturbing for news organizations is that even when Google, for example, links to news articles providing content selections for consumers, reports show fully 65% of users never bother to click through to the news publishers’ websites.

In other words, newsrooms that invest in producing important journalism for the public to consume and make it readily available on major digital platforms, as noted in a Los Angeles Times Editorial, can’t earn sufficient advertising revenue to cover their costs.

The current media model is not necessarily conducive to a free market economy as the model does not seem to fit how the internet has changed the paradigm regarding media and the press.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson Receives Official Welcome

Breanna Reeves | Staff

Ahead of the U.S. Supreme Court's term which is set to begin on Monday, Oct. 3, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson attended a ceremony on Friday where she was welcomed by sitting Supreme Court justices, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Jackson was officially sworn into office on June 30, replacing Justice Stephen Breyer who had previously and formally submitted a letter, signaling his retirement. She was confirmed to the court in April in a 53-47 vote after undergoing rigorous confirmation hearings. She made history as the first Black woman and the sixth woman justice overall to serve on the nation’s highest court.

“Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has already brought uncompromising integrity, a strong moral compass, and courage to the Supreme Court. Today, we celebrate her formal investiture.

This is a day for all Americans to be proud,” read a tweet from President Biden’s account.

President Joe Biden attended the investiture ceremony for Associate Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson on Friday, September 30, 2022 (Via Twitter).

In attendance at the ceremony were former justice Stephen Breyer, who Jackson clerked for, and Anthony Kennedy. Also in attendance were Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, and Senator Cory Booker (D-N.J.), who delivered a passionate speech during Jackson’s confirmation hearing.

“You have earned this spot. You are worthy. You are a great American,” Booker said during Jackson’s confirmation back in March.

President Biden pledged to nominate a Black woman to the Supreme Court back in January and has done so with the confirmation of

Electricity Bills Could Rise: Why You Should Be Concerned

Prince James Story | Staff

Released on September 28th, the study Paying for Electricity in California: How Residential Rate Design Impacts Equity and Electrification, was authored by researchers at UC Berkeley’s Energy Institute at the Haas School of Business and commissioned by Next 10, a nonpartisan research nonprofit organization.

The report gathers data from 11 million California residents serviced by the state’s three large investor-owned utilities (IOUs) – Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), Southern California Edison (SCE), and San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E), between 2016-2019.

“The time has come for the state legislature,

the governor, and the public utilities commission to take an urgent look at reforming how California allocates electricity system and related costs. Working together, the utilities and the state government can eliminate a growing disincentive to clean power conversion, and lift an economic burden that falls heavily on those least able to pay,” F. Noel Perry, Founder of Next 10, said in a press release.

First, the researchers asked the question, what is the social marginal cost of electricity in California? When a kilowatt-hour(kWh) of electricity is produced in California, what are its impacts and costs? They determined it would be around 8-10 cents per kilowatt.

By comparison, In California the average cost is 30 cents/kWh according to Energysage.com, which is 61% higher than the national average.

The report refers to the gap between the retail electricity price and the social marginal cost as the effective “electricity tax.”

Some of the added cost to your electric bill is paying for other programs like climate change mitigation, wildfire adaptation, legacy infrastructure, subsidies for new technology research and development, energy efficiency investments, low-income customers, and rooftop solar, among other fixed costs and policy expenses.

The report found that wealthier households

Monkeypox Cases On the Rise as Riverside County Expands Vaccine Availability

Breanna Reeves | Staff

Riverside County reported an additional two new cases of monkeypox (MPX) on Sept. 28, pushing the county’s total cases to 281.

The county has expanded the criteria for those who are interested in receiving the MPX vaccine. Previously, only certain groups that worked in specific settings and industries were given priority for vaccinations, along with men who have sex with other men or who had multiple partners.

“We recently broadened our criteria for who can get the MPX vaccine. As of Friday, we have broadened it to gay, same gender loving or bisexual men, or any men [who are] gender diverse or transgender men or women who have sex with men, transgender men or transgender women,” said Dr. Jennifer Chevinksy, Deputy Public Health Officer at Riverside University Health System (RUHS) - Public Health, in a daily update on Monday.

Dr. Chevinsky explained that the county was able to broaden the criteria because the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) allocated an additional 1,650 vials of the MPX vaccine. Additionally, Riverside County secured 55 vials from local counties, like San Bernardino who may have lower case counts in comparison. According to the county’s MPX

dashboard, San Bernardino County reported a total of 95 cases so far.

The county has distributed 6,445 vials of the MPX vaccine and has fully vaccinated more than 2,800 residents throughout the county. Approximately 4,770 residents are partially vaccinated against MPX, with a majority of those who have received at least one dose located in Cathedral City and Palm Springs.

“This is also with the intention of trying to get as many people who are at risk vaccinated prior to Pride events,” Dr. Chevinsky explained.

Pride events are set to take place in October, beginning with Leather Pride on Oct. 27 through Oct. 30 and Palm Springs Pride which begins on Nov. 4.

MPX protocols for schools and work

There have been more than 4,800 MPX cases in California. The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA)

pay more on average, but lower-income households pay more as a percentage of their annual income.

“When you look at the cost as a share of household income, like how much of my annual income is going to pay these costs, low-income customers in my utility area, PG&E, are paying more than three percent of annual income,” said Meredith Fowlie, Agricultural & Resource Economics professor at UC Berkeley. “That's more than three times the share of the income for wealthier households.”

Net metering is a contributing factor to the problem, which also disproportionately affects low-income households. The report states, “In SDG&E, where rooftop solar in 2019 already provided over 20 percent of residential electricity under net metering, thus offsetting a majority of the cross-subsidy created by the California Alternative Rates for Energy (CARE) program.”

California's goal by 2035 is that 100% of its new cars and small trucks will be Zero Emission Vehicles; at the current rates, the cost of charging your electric vehicle will be about $600 per year more than what it would be if prices were set at SMC.

Electricity Tax

Under the current “electricity tax,” the cost of managing an electric vehicle will be an extra $600 annually. For households thinking about

IN MY OPINION

Endorsement: Helen Tran for Mayor of San Bernardino

In my opinion Helen Tran’s experience as Human Resource Director in city government gives her an advantage in serving as mayor under our city charter form of government.

Hardy Brown, Sr. Publisher Emeritus Contributor

The charter spells out that the mayor will “preside over the city” and it is my understanding that the mayor would be a facilitator or moderator over city government business and not the chief executive officer. The charter also states, the mayor “represents the city as chief spokesperson” to the community and other government entities.

In my opinion Helen has the skills, training and knowledge of the city’s mission to assist the council and city manager in delivering services to all citizens, while showing respect to their position. Respect for the council members will go a long way in team building and creating an image that will increase business and services to our residents.

Tran’s opponent Jim Penman, will claim he has more experience in city government, which is true, but he has been disruptive in using that 26 years experience and he has not changed. If you watched the last council meeting on September 21, you saw he was up to his old tricks of asking the council to petition the court to open up an old case where Helen had given a disposition regarding one of her investigations.

This is an example of the kinds of tactics Penman uses to get council members to fight each other, against the city attorney and the city manager. The leopard has not changed his spots, even though he is talking about how the public has a right to know.

If the public has a right to know, Mr. Penman, then tell the public about your involvement in the recall attempt of four council members–two Blacks and two Latinos. The public has a right to know if it was racially motivated.

Did you tell a Mexican American Family if they did not like San Bernardino, they could go back to Mexico, was that because of their race or national origin? The public has a right to know, so tell the public what really happened.

Tell the public about those five women who filed “Sexual Harassment Complaints” against you and cost the city $50,000 to investigate.

Former San Bernardino City Attorney Jim Penman who was recalled from that position in 2013 now seeks to become the city’s mayor in the November election in a race against Helen Tran. (facebook.com).

Mayor Tom Minor said he believed the outside investigators report and councilmember Valerie Pope-Ludllam said she believes the women employees.

The women said in the report you gave them neck rubs. Can you tell the public what really happened? It was also reported in the Sun newspaper that you allegedly told one of the women ”My libido rises and falls based on how much time I spend with you each day.”

Can you tell the public what you did to make those five women file those allegations and complaints against you?

The public wants to know and has a right to know before they vote.

It is this kind of sexual harassment behavior that the current mayor John Valdivia is accused of.

I heard Penman tell the public at the council meeting that he was in Fontana protesting against George Pepper and the KKK. Now I was there on the front line taking pictures. If he was there, I did not see him standing in the crowd.

I do not want to tell you all I know or the conversations I have had with Penman, other than I was happy to see him recalled from office.

About Helen Tran

I first met Helen in 2014 in her office at city hall. I am convinced she is up to the challenge of being mayor. She has already demonstrated to me, she has political contacts outside of the city as you can see from those who have endorsed her which is what we need in San Bernardino if the city is going to regain its proper place as the county seat.

Helen Tran is the daughter of Vietnamese refugees who grew up in San Bernardino. She is a public servant, non-profit leader, and mother of three. Tran is the youngest person to ever serve as Director of Human Resources for the City of San Bernardino. (helentranformayor.com).

We need a new face to carry our message outside of the city limits and interact with county, state and federal governments. Helen can do that.

Starting Over Part 3

Proceed With Caution

by Breanna Reeves

Reentering your community and rebuilding life after paying one’s debt to society is often riddled with unexpected obstacles and impeded by limited access to support. In this series, you will follow the reentry journey of Michael Jurado, a formerly incarcerated individual, as he navigates the challenges faced by himself and others as they struggle to cleanse themselves of the stigma of incarceration and discover the community organizations working valiantly to fill gaps in support left open by state and local governments.

In 2015, Santa Clara public defender Sajid Khan was assigned to represent 14-year-old Christian Haro Cotero. Cortero was being prosecuted as an adult by the Santa Clara district attorney’s office after he confessed to the non-fatal stabbing of 17-year-old Manuel Esquibel.

Cotero’s mother contacted Silicon Valley DeBug, a community advocacy organization based in San Jose, for help. De-Bug reached out to Khan to meet Cortero’s family.

“Through the course of that case, I worked with Christian’s mother and with the people from Silicon Valley De-Bug to develop information that would be helpful to Christian’s defense and to try to secure the best outcome for him,” Khan explained.

Behind Cotero’s crime was a history of abuse at the hands of his father and subsequent depression, a history that Khan laid out to prosecutors when he urged them to keep the case in juvenile court — which they refused. Detailing Cotero’s mental, emotional and familial history to the court as a mitigating factor in his case is one of the methods employed by De-Bug.

Participatory Defense

This approach is called participatory defense, a community-based process developed by De-Bug to support people facing criminal charges. Participatory defense involves creating “social biography packets.” In simple terms, it’s a dossier that presents the person facing charges to the court as more than a case number, more than another offender.

“Defense attorneys call this a mitigation packet, and they’ll hand this to the district attorney and say, ‘Here are all the reasons why you shouldn’t give this person four years for…say [breaking] into a store,’” explained Zach Kirk, who works for De-Bug. Social biography packets are intended to provide context, to present extenuating circumstances such as a history of mental and emotional problems, physical abuse, substance abuse or other tough circumstances that contributed to criminal behavior.

In his role, Kirk supports organizations who practice participatory defense, whether it’s assisting with training, filling out data requests or

walking an attorney through training.

Cotero’s case was the first time Khan had used participatory defense in court as a public defender. Khan said he was initially hesitant to communicate with and involve community organizations and families in the direct representation of people because he was trained to maintain clients’ confidentiality.

“I came up as an attorney where we are trained to keep our cards pretty close to the vest and where we don’t really let ‘outsiders’ into our process,” Khan said. “So, it was hard to imagine how we could incorporate people outside of that fold into the representation. [But,] I’ve learned that there’s a significant benefit to our clients that can be gained from this model.”

Social biography packets consist of personal background information, pictures and other details about a person’s life and circumstances. They can include letters from drug counselors or doctors about mental health as well as statements from rehabilitation programs.

The packets show the court that the sum of a person’s experiences should be considered when a person is sentenced for a bad decision they made. The goal is to get a lesser sentence than what’s being offered by the district attorney or is recommended by the penal code, whether that’s no incarceration or less time incarcerated.

Growing a network

Vonya Quarles is co-founder of Starting Over, a nonprofit organization that provides support and services to people who have been impacted by the criminal justice system. She was first introduced to the participatory defense model in 2016 during a discussion with Raj Jayadev, De-Bug’s founder.

“It was exciting to me as a criminal defense attorney to actually feel like

you could lean into the community to help bridge the differences that we see when it comes to resources, and criminal prosecution,” Quarles said.

The participatory defense model was developed in 2015 by Jayadev, who is also the coordinator of Silicon Valley DeBug’s Albert Cobarrubias Justice Project. Before participatory defense and its focus on humanizing defendants, families and community members crowded courtrooms in a show of support and to pressure judges in sentencing. There was no “singular approach” that helped families, Kirk explained. There was a lack of organization and an inability to communicate with attorneys regarding the law and how to best support their family members like there is now.

Participatory defense has grown into a national network with several dozen hubs across the U.S. De-Bug affiliates that use the model, host training and informational meetings and introduce the model to public defenders and other attorneys. The hubs don’t offer legal advice. Instead, they work to train and educate family members on how the court operates and how their loved ones could be impacted by sentencing.

Starting Over is part of the Inland Empire’s participatory defense hub. Michael Jurado is a participatory defense specialist with Starting Over. His job is to assist people who have loved ones with open court cases. Along with his colleague, participatory defense organizer Toya Vick, Jurado meets weekly with families to help them navigate the court system and create social biography packets.

Vick was trained as a participatory defense organizer in 2017 while she was facing life in prison after being falsely accused of fraud. While facing charges, Vick put together a portfolio of her life that detailed her accomplishments and gave it to her attorney. At the time she was a commissioner for the city of Moreno Valley and a sergeant parent for the Moreno Valley Unified School District. She compiled her own social biography packet before she recognized it as such.

“When I found out that participatory defense has social bios as well, I [was] like, ‘Wow, I can really engage in that’ because I feel like that had power in the court proceedings,” Vick said.

By 2020, Vick’s case was dismissed and she resumed her work at Starting Over, helping

families navigate the criminal justice system and empowering them to use their voice to support their loved ones.

“We’re not saying that public defenders or any attorneys are inadequate, or whatever,” Vick explained. “We’re here to support the community members and give the families the time that an attorney and a public defender cannot give.”

Lives saved by “time saved” Since Starting Over began implementing and educating families on participatory defense, Jurado estimates that they have helped those facing charges save between 90 to 100 years. “Time saved” is a key measurement that allows hubs to track the impact they make. Time saved is calculated by taking the amount of time a person is facing at sentencing (“time served”) and subtracting that from the years they are actually sentenced to.

With approximately 30 hubs across more than a dozen states, the participatory defense network has calculated that together, they have saved 6,500 years of incarceration on behalf of people facing charges.

“We are dealing with a system of mass incarceration that has reduced justice to months in jail and years in prison and has often utilized life sentences as our only response to harm in our communities,” Khan said. “With participatory defense, public defenders, communities and people facing charges are given the opportunity to advocate for alternatives to incarceration or reduced incarceration.”

“I think seeing more people, seeing communities behind their loved one resonates with the courts as well,” explained Juardo.

While time saved is an important way to

Mokeypox, continued from page 7 recently issued a guidance on MPX for employers that requires them to take steps to protect their employees such as providing respiratory protection and providing personal protective equipment (PPE) to employees who may have been exposed to MPX.

The regulations also require that employers develop a written program to prevent “the transmission of aerosol transmissible diseases specific to the workplace and operations,” report exposures to local health officers and remove employees from the workplace if a local health officer recommends the removal.

Unlike the guidance released by Cal/OSHA for California employers, safety protocols for schools may differ across different school districts and counties.

Two weeks ago, Riverside County reported its first pediatric case of MPX in a child from western Riverside county. The child was under the age of 10 years old and did not require hospitalization.

“This case reminds everyone that MPX can impact anyone, regarding of age, gender or sexual orientation,” said Dr. Geoffrey Leung,

FEATURE STORY measure the impact of the participatory defense model, Khan said that it’s not the first benefit that comes to mind for him. Demonstrating the humanity of people in the system and those accused of harm, he said, has been the best thing that has come from practicing participatory defense.

Because participatory defense is unconventional compared to traditional handling of a criminal case, public defenders and lawyers are hesitant to embrace the model. That trepidation can be seen in Riverside County. Quarles said the model hasn’t been practiced much in places outside the Bay Area. In Riverside, said Quarles, everyone “tiptoes” around law enforcement, specifically the district attorney and sheriff’s offices.

“Participatory defense actually goes around that. We don’t even have to worry about the district attorney or the sheriff,” Quarles said. “[The model] focuses on how a person can lift up their loved one and humanize them so that the courts can see beyond the police report or the [court] filings and see who they are.”

Quarles said she believes that attorneys’ reluctance to engage in participatory defense can be attributed to busy schedules and unwillingness to discuss their clients. But, she believes that with this approach, they are building a more supportive and proactive public safety “ecosystem.”

Vick explained that participatory defense organizers work to bridge the gap between attorneys and communities, but oftentimes attorneys and public defenders mistake their efforts as an attempt to sabotage the case.

“We’re not here to overstep them. We’re not here to insult them and their education. We’re not saying that they’re incompetent — what we want to do is just be an extra resource to them and our community, as well as educate our community, giving [them] the support and love and the empowerment that they’re due,” Vick said.

Progress, not perfection

Steven Harmon has worked as a criminal defense lawyer for nearly 50 years and has spent nine years as a public defender in Riverside County. Several years ago, his office was contacted by Quarles about utilizing participatory defense. Since then, he’s started a program that allows Starting Over to recommend families to the public defender’s office who then matches attorneys with families who contribute information about their loved one.

“Participatory defense is just one aspect of the new wave of criminal justice reform. It’s just one part of the way the system and criminal defense should be enhanced and changed, and so on,” Harmon explained. “I’m very excited about the new prospects, the new ideas of criminal justice reform that are being utilized.”

Participatory defense doesn’t guarantee a favorable outcome, but using the model has been transformative. Communities and families are able to actively participate in advocating on behalf of their loved one against a system that easily disregards a person based solely on one mistake.

“It helps to show not just the community support, but show the judge who else this person is because all they see is a paper record that was provided to the court for the purpose of prosecution,” Quarles explained. “They don’t know that this person has been a single mom, struggling with poverty and addiction and had eight years of continued success, and relapsed and ended up catching another case.”

Harmon explained that it can be difficult to measure positive outcomes as a result of practicing participatory defense because there are many factors that are at play as it relates to positive or negative case outcomes.

“But that doesn’t mean that it’s not a worthy goal, and doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t continue to try it,” Harmon said. “And even if it doesn’t work, for instance, it’s still worth the effort and the try to the client and to the family — knowing that no stone was left unturned.”

With participatory defense, mitigating circumstances are brought to light in court. According to Khan, this model asks public defenders to step away from what’s only on paper and pushes them to connect with family members to understand more about the person who is being accused which will ultimately benefit their client.

Quarles said that she remembers a case in which a young person was facing 96 years for a charge. She couldn’t go into detail, but explained that social biographies are helpful during negotiations. The young person was facing 96 years imprisonment, but ended up with no time sentenced in adult court.

“I’m really grateful to De-Bug and Raj, in particular, for first creating [participatory defense] and sharing it with the community,” Quarles shared. “And, I can’t speak enough about the outcomes. I mean, to that person’s family, 96 years was a death sentence.”

digital devices. When Americans shifted their preference for news from print, television, radio and other news services to internet platforms, the advertising dollars followed.

Despite the success of internet platforms and the failure of the free market to self correct as it relates to news and media, many– including federal legislators–believe the real weak spot in the evolving industry is not so much with the major platforms as it is with the very design of the news industry market and the laws surrounding it.

To this end, federal legislators are seeking to empower local media outlets by authorizing them to come together and form a unified voice to strengthen their negotiating power with internet platform giants to advocate for payment in exchange for the content they create.

The proposed Journalism Competition and Preservation Act will remove legal barriers currently faced by news organizations that prevent them from negotiating collectively– especially as it relates to securing fair terms from platforms that frequently access content without paying for it.

As part of the legislation, newspaper publishers will also have the right to demand arbitration if negotiations betweens the news organizations and the platform leaders falls apart. The Times report noted that although

“As the daughter of a newspaperman, I understand firsthand the vital role that a free press plays in strengthening our democracy. But local news is facing an existential crisis in our country, with ad revenues plummeting, newspapers closing, and many rural communities becoming ‘news deserts’ without access to local reporting. “

- Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN)

some oppose the legislation because it creates a carve-out of the federal antitrust law that regulates economic competition and coordination. The irony in this however is that a similar carve-out already exists for internet platform giants like Google, etc.

If a carve-out was created for the platform providers then it seems only fair that creating a carve-out for news publications should be a no brainer. As they say, “What is good for the goose should certainly be good for the gander.”

The Journalism Competition and Preservation Act would benefit small publications like the Black Voice News, the IE Voice and so many others. To reemphasize what is noted above, the draft legislation states in part, “news publishers with fewer than 1,500 exclusive full-time employees and non-network news broadcasters that engage in standard newsgathering practices—to form joint negotiation entities to collectively negotiate with a covered platform over the terms and conditions of the covered platform’s access to digital news content.”

Preserving news and making it accessible to all

The loss of hundreds of small news outlets across the country has

expanded the number of news deserts. More than half of the country has just one local newspaper or no newspaper at all. As noted in a press release by Jerry Nadler, Chair of the House Judiciary Committee. “The consequences are bad for everyone: fewer local news providers translates to unchecked governmental corruption, corporate misconduct, and widespread misinformation, plus a raft of other consequences for citizens, taxpayers, and our democracy.”

All of us bore witness to this during the Trump era that lead to massive disinformation and confusion during the peak of the epic COVID-19 pandemic in relation to both the virus and the vaccines; and in relation to the 2020 election and subsequent insurrection.

We encourage you to support the work of the Black Voice News, the IE Voice and other news outlets by calling your U.S. Senator and House Representatives and encourage the passage of the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act. You can do so by calling (202) 224-3121.

Thank you in advance for your support. I’m keeping it real.

Jackson. Historically, Black women account for a small percent of federal judges at any level.

According to a Pew Research Center report released in February, only 70 of the 3,843 people — 2% — who ever served as federal judges in the U.S. have been Black women. The first Black woman ever to serve on the federal bench was Constance Baker Motley in 1966 who was appointed by President Lyndon B. Johnson. Since taking office, President Biden has nominated 13 Black women to be circuit court judges, eight of whom have been confirmed, including Judge Holly Thomas who became the first Black woman to serve on the Ninth Circuit from California.

Monkeypox, continued from page 12

public health officer for Riverside County, in a press release. CDPH has reported a total of 11 pediatric cases in the state.

According to Diana Meza, Director of Public Information and Communications for Riverside Unified School District, if a suspect or confirmed case of MPX is reported to a school district, the District Health Services Department would have to contact the RUHS Public Health Disease Control Department for guidance.

“In regard to protocols for any rash associated illness, the individual cannot come to school or return to school until cleared by a doctor,” Meza said in an email.

A statement from San Bernardino City Unified School District stated that the district

has not experienced any cases of MPX, but that campuses throughout the district already follow “everyday operational guidance that reduces the transmission of infectious diseases.”

“This includes children, staff, and volunteers staying home when sick, ensuring access to adequate hand washing supplies, including soap and water, maintaining routine cleaning and disinfection practices, identifying private spaces for assessment of an ill child away from others, and providing personal protective equipment (PPE) for health staff who care for students who may have infectious diseases,” the statement read.

MPX cases remain low among children in the state, but can affect anyone if they have close or intimate contact such as skin-to-skin contact with someone who has MPX.

Electricity, continued from page 8

going to electric heating instead of natural gas, your taxes will raise your bill by around $600 annually.

Riverside residents should pay particular attention to this because city leaders are exploring a code change that would eliminate fossil fuel construction in new buildings and regulate all new buildings that are three stories or less to be completely electric starting in January 2023.

The report's authors suggested some alternative methods to lowering the marginal price of electricity. These include moving costs onto the general state budget and instituting income-based fixed charges.

“As we assess the future of electricity in California and the critical role utilities and their customers will be expected to play in making our state safer and more sustainable, it’s clear we need to apply equitable options that already exist to cover electric utilities’ rising costs,” Perry said. “The recommendations of this study would boost electrification and allow California consumers at every income level to participate in the energy transition.”

Helen Tran, continued from

All of you know I am always pushing for racial inclusion, feel strongly about it, and yes, it is one of the reasons I’m supporting Helen for mayor. It is time for a member of the Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) community to lead the city–they have been in this community since 1867. I know a Black person has never occupied the position of mayor but now we have a Black police chief.

The late Dr. Margaret Hill former member of the San Bernardino City Unified School District. .(source: sbcusd.com | theievoice.com).

Today, our community is fairly represented on the city council Latino, Black and white representation. With Helen as mayor it will be reflective of the city’s diverse population, except for the area’s indigenous people. It will also put another female voice in making our public policies for the city.

Black support for Tran

I investigated a concern a Black person came to me with when he saw a picture with Helen and the late Dr. Margaret Hill showing her support for Helen. He only saw the picture but not the statement Dr. Hill had made about Helen before Hill’s passing. Dr. Hill’s statement was:

“It’s not always about the suits and high heels but it’s about a team. We need someone with leadership, someone with a vision, someone with passion, someone who is concerned with all people, not just a few. That’s what we need in San Bernardino someone who cares about all of our children; She [Tran] will transform San Bernardino for future generations to come, if not us, then who. We need to work together.”

I agree with my late friend Dr. Margaret Hill. In my opinion, Helen Tran is the “Best Choice” for Mayor of San Bernardino.
