SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California is giving cities and counties more power to speed up the building of supportive housing and shelters amid a homelessness crisis.Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom signed 13 laws aimed at stemming the crisis Thursday. His action comes as Republican President Donald Trump criticizes California's handling of the issue, most recently blaming homelessness for water pollution .California, the nation's most populous state, has a growing number of people living in the streets in cities such as Los Angeles and San Francisco. But Newsom has accused Trump of politicizing the issue and called on the federal government to provide more aid to get people into housing.Newsom said the bills he's signed will "give local governments even more tools to confront this crisis."One new law that takes effect immediately lets Los Angeles bypass parts of the California Environmental Quality Act to build supportive housing and shelters. Another lets projects that will turn hotels into housing forego certain CEQA reviews through 2025."Supportive housing and shelters aren't being built quickly enough and as long as Californians are struggling to survive in our streets, we have a moral responsibility to do everything in our power to provide the shelter and assistance they need to get back on their feet," Assemblyman Miguel Santaigo, a Los Angeles Democrat, said in a statement.Some critics of CEQA have argued it can be weaponized to delay development of projects community residents might find unfavorable.Another adds Orange and Alameda counties as well as San Jose to the list of places that can declare emergencies and build shelters on publicly owned land. It builds on a 2017 law that lets Berkeley, Emeryville, Los Angeles, Oakland, San Diego, Santa Clara and San Francisco declare such crisis."I am optimistic that we will continue to work together to bring solutions to our homelessness crisis," said Democratic Assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-Silva, who authored the bill and represents parts of Orange County.Los Angeles declared a shelter crisis after the 2017 law and set a goal of creating 750 to 1,500 new shelter beds, according to a bill analysis. So far it has opened 109 of those beds and has 170 under construction.Another piece of legislation signed by Newsom exempts projects built with billion in voter-approved bonds from environmental rules. The Sierra Club, an environmental group, opposed the legislation.Other bills Newsom signed will:—Allow for the use of vacant California armories to provide temporary shelter during hazardous weather.—Create a legal framework for agreements with landlords allowing tenants to take in people at risk of homelessness.—Let the California Department of Transportation lease property to local governments at a cost of per month for emergency shelters. 2843

Robert Pate’s time in prison changed him. Now, he runs a program and a podcast to help those who are completing their sentences.“We help inmates who come out of prison. We help them get jobs, we help them discover self-identity,” he said.Pate, 46, served 11 years for selling drugs.“Prison was life-changing in the fact that you're stripped from all of your, anything you’ve had in the world,” he said. “You get a chance to see yourself for who you really are.”So, he started the Image program and accompanying podcast, all to help with re-entry. “I started the program in prison,” he said. “After being released from prison, trying to get a job and cope with the everyday ways of life that when it comes to voting they’re lost. They have no clue as to what this stuff is really about.”Iowa recently became the last state in the U.S. to pave a path to vote for felons who have completed their sentence, with exceptions.“The NAACP estimates about 40,000 people…are now eligible to vote in the state of Iowa,” said Betty C. Andrews, president of the Iowa-Nebraska NAACP. “This is an issue that the NAACP has had at the forefront for a number of years.”Andrews was in attendance when Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signed Executive Order Number 7 in August, officially making a path for felons who have completed their sentence to register to vote.“Being one of the last states, quite frankly the last state, was very embarrassing for us in the advocacy community,” she said. “According to Executive Order Number 7, you are eligible to vote if you are not incarcerated off parole or off probation. You do not have to pay restitution, fines, or fees in order to vote.”She said estimates show about 2,500 Iowans with felony backgrounds registered to vote in August. Just having the ability to do so, Andrews said, is important.“They have to pay taxes, they have to follow the laws, they have to do what is required in terms of citizenship. But they are not allowed to have a voice in that, so being able to have that voice is monumental for people,” she said.“Unfortunately, I’ve never actually voted. Never really saw the importance of voting at a young age,” Pate said. “I grew up in Des Moines, Iowa, played basketball, played basketball in college.”Now that Pate has the right, he helps those in his program, like Bert Knapp and Wayne Byrd, figure the process out.“I’m 55...I never did vote in my life,” Byrd said. “If I can’t vote, I mean, I feel different. I feel like I’m part of the world. That’s what it means to me.”While Knapp is still on parole, he echoes the same feeling. “It gives me the ability to make a difference. There’s no point in complaining about who is in office if I'm not going to take a step and do what I can,” he said.But because this right came via executive order, Andrews warns it can also be taken away.“The next governor could come in and revoke this executive order,” she said. It’s happened before in Iowa’s history, and that would sever the path put in place. That means no felons being released from prison could register in the future.For now, they take it one day at a time, spending the remaining days before the election getting the world out to everyone that they should exercise their right to vote.“Everyone who is in society, and is a productive citizen in society, should be able to vote,” Pate said. “I’m happy to be able to have the privilege to vote.” 3397

ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- The Chief of the Rochester Police Department has announced he is retiring after consecutive nights of protests and amid an investigation into the death of Daniel Prude, who died after being restrained by police in March."As a man of integrity, I will not sit idly by while outside entities attempt to destroy my character," Chief La'Ron D. Singletary wrote in a statement obtained by WXXI and WHAM. "The mischaracterization and the politicization of the actions that I took after being informed of Mr. Prude's death is not based on facts, and is not what I stand for."Deputy Chief Joseph Morabito also announced his retirement and said serving with the department was his "extreme honor."The city's mayor, Lovely Warren, said in a city council briefing that there could possibly be other senior commanders retiring from the department, The Associated Press reports.Rochester has been in the national spotlight after police body camera video was released last week, which shows police putting a spit mask over Daniel Prude's face, and holding him down in an effort to subdue him. Prude died of asphyxiation.Since the video's release, seven police officers have been suspended and the New York Attorney General's Office has begun an investigation into Prude's death. On Saturday, Attorney General Letitia James announced she will empanel a grand jury as part of her probe.Many citizens have been calling for the resignation of both Singletary and Rochester's Mayor, Lovely Warren, within 24 hours following the video of Prude's death becoming public.Warren has said that she was originally told Prude died from an apparent overdose, and that it wasn't until August 4 that she saw the footage of Prude being detained.Warren has since publicly pledged overhauls of police practices.For several consecutive nights, protests have erupted through Rochester. Last Friday, upwards of 2,000 people marched through the streets. As police tried to disperse the crowds, some protesters threw rocks, bottles, and even "commercial grade fireworks," according to WHAM.This story was originally published by staff at WKBW. 2132

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California voters on Tuesday rejected a ballot measure that would have capped dialysis clinics' profits in an effort to improve patient care.Proposition 8 would have limited profits for dialysis clinics that provide vital treatment for people whose kidneys don't work properly.The measure was the most expensive initiative on the 2018 ballot in California, generating more than 0 million in campaign contributions. A health care workers union, Service Employees International Union-United Healthcare Workers West, funded the million supporting campaign. Dialysis companies contributed more than 1 million to kill the initiative.The union argued Proposition 8 would stop the dialysis companies from cutting corners to make money and force them to invest more of their revenue into patient care. Supporters say the profit-hungry companies don't adequately clean clinics and overwork staff.Dialysis providers say the measure was actually a tactic to pressure the dialysis companies to let workers unionize and would have forced clinics to close. They say most California clinics provide high quality care.Dialysis companies' effort to kill the measure was the most expensive campaign on one side of a ballot initiative in the U.S. since at least 2002. Most of that money came from the two largest dialysis companies operating in California: Denver-based DaVita Inc. and Germany-based Fresenius Medical Care.The measure would have barred dialysis clinics from charging patients more than 115 percent of what providers spend on patient care and quality improvement. If clinics exceeded that limit, they would have to provide rebates or pay penalties.Although the measure didn't spell out exactly which expenses counted toward the limit, dialysis companies argued critical management expenses would be classified as profits and bankrupt clinics.RELATED CONTENT 1898
