Brown dials back budget cuts

Governor increases spending
for child care and education
By Jonathan J. Cooper
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO California Gov. Jerry

Brown on Thursday dialed back his pro-
posed cuts for schools and child care, citing
an improved fiscal outlook since he out-
lined the cuts in January.
He said the economic picture would allow
$1.5 billion more in general fund spending
in his $124 billion proposal even amid
uncertainty as the Trump administration
seeks to overhaul the federal health care law.
Were trying as much as possible to keep
us on an even keel, Brown said in revers-
ing his proposed cuts for K-12 schools. By
law, about half the states spending goes to
K-12 education and higher education.
Brown also wants to reverse a proposed
$500 million cut for low-income childcare
that he sought in January and revise his pro-
posal to shift nearly $600 million in costs
to counties. After county officials warned
they could not absorb the expenses, the
state would now shift $141 million under
Browns proposal.
The release of Browns spending plan
kicks off a month of negotiations with the
Democrat-controlled Legislature. His plan
would need the approval of lawmakers.

Former bookkeeper ART IN ACTION

from Pacifica pleads
guilty to bank fraud
By Alex Kekauoha
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

A Pacifica woman who worked as a bookkeeper for San

Francisco delicatessens pleaded guilty to bank fraud in fed-
eral court on Wednesday, prosecutors said.
Beginning in 2008, Krisinda Messer, 37, created 130
fraudulent checks totaling $436,396, all but two of which
she made payable to her fathers company, American
Backflow Company, or ABC, according to the U. S.
Attorneys Office.
Messer admitted that ABC was not a creditor of the deli-
catessens and there was no business relationship between
them. She also admitted that she forged the signature of the
delicatessens owners on most of the checks, prosecutors
said.
In an effort to conceal the fraudulent checks from her
employers, Messer created a fake company account on the
accounting software QuickBooks and used the fake compa-
ny to produce checks written to ABC so that they would
appear in the books, prosecutors said.
Messer also admitted that she did not report the income
on her federal income tax returns from 2008 through 2011.
A federal grand jury indicted Messer on May 12, 2015,
and she was charged with 12 counts of bank fraud, four
counts of aggravated identity theft, and three counts of sub- NICK ROSE/DAILY JOURNAL

Is free speech fading at colleges?

Some defenders believe that it is
By Collin Binkley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
In campus clashes from
California to Vermont, many
defenders of the First Amendment
say they see signs that free
speech, once a bedrock value in
academia, is losing ground as a
priority at U.S. colleges.
As protests have derailed
speeches by controversial figures,
including an event with Ann
Coulter last month at the
University of California,
Berkeley, some fear students have
come to see the right to free
expression less as an enshrined
measure of protection for all voic-
es and more as a political weapon
used against them by provoca-
teurs.
I think minority groups and
those who feel alienated are espe-
cially skeptical about free speech
these days, said Jeffrey Herbst,
leader of the Newseum, a
Washington group that defends the
First Amendment. But the power-
ful can get their message across
any number of ways. Its those
who feel powerless or alienated
who really benefit from enshrined
rights.
On Wednesday, students at the
historically black Bethune-
Cookman University in Florida
tried to shout down a commence-
ment address by Education
Secretary Betsy DeVos, who said
during her speech, Lets choose to
hear one another out. Students
and alumni had previously peti-
tioned to rescind her invitation,
saying she doesnt understand the
importance of historically black
schools.
While some cast the debate as a
political battle, pitting protesters
on the left against conservative
speakers on the right, First
Amendment advocates warn the
line marking acceptable speech
could slip if more college students
adopt less-than-absolute views on
free speech.
When UC Berkeley canceled
Conservative demonstrators fight during a Patriots Day Free Speech Rally in Berkeley.
Coulters April 27 speech amid
threats of violence, it was only the
latest example of a speaker with
controversial views being blocked
from talking. Since the beginning
of 2016, nearly 30 campus speech-
es have been derailed amid contro-
versy, according to the Foundation
For Individual Rights In
Education.
In many cases , speakers have
been targeted for their views on
race and sexual identity.
At Middlebury College in
Vermont, author Charles Murray
was shouted down by students who
accused him of espousing racist
views. An event featuring Milo
Yiannopoulos at Berkeley was
called off after protests over his
views on race and transgender peo-
ple turned violent.
In the past year, other speeches
have been disrupted or canceled
amid student protests at the
University of Wisconsin, UC
Davis, Brown University, New
York University and DePaul
University, among others.
Todays students have developed
a new understanding of free speech
that doesnt protect language seen
as offensive to minorities or oth-
ers thought to be disenfranchised,
said Herbst, also a former presi-
dent of Colgate University, a liber-
al arts school in Hamilton, New
York.
He sees it as a generational
divide, a notion thats supported
by some polling data. A 2015 sur-
vey by the Pew Research Center,
for example, found that 40 percent
of people ages 18 to 34 supported
government censorship of state-
ments offensive to minorities.
Only 24 percent of people ages 51
to 69 agreed.
The literary group PEN America
has also warned free speech is
being threatened at colleges.
As students and administrators
REUTERS FILE PHOTO
strive to make campuses more hos-
pitable to diverse student bodies,
some have wrongly silenced
speech that makes certain students
feel uncomfortable, said Suzanne
Nossel, the groups director.
The university has dual impera-
tives. It has to be a place that is
welcoming and open to students of
all backgrounds, cognizant of the
barriers that impede students from
marginalized groups, she said.
But that cannot and must not
come at the expense of being an
open environment for speech.
The events at Berkeley and
Middlebury have drawn scorn from
observers across the political
spectrum, including some founders
of the free speech movement that
took root at Berkeley in the
1960s. Jack Weinberg, who was
arrested on campus in 1964 for
violating school codes on
activism and sparked a wave of
protests to change them, said he
found the whole thing despica-
ble.
When you suppress ideas, you
also increase interest in those
ideas, Weinberg said. Its under-
standable that people want to stop
it, but it doesnt work.
Still, some students dont see a
problem with disrupting provoca-
tive speakers. Some say theyre
simply invoking their own First
Amendment rights, while others
say theyre appealing to higher
principles that take priority over
free expression.
If your goal is to come onto
university campuses and put com-
munities at risk, and your goal is
to bash and spew hateful, racist
rhetoric, then we dont want that,
said Richard Alvarado, a junior at
Berkeley who protested both
recent speeches. We as a commu-
nity have a moral obligation to
hold you accountable for it.
Colleges need to take a harder
stance against students who dis-
rupt speeches, some say.
Republican lawmakers in
Wisconsin are pushing a bill that
would force state universities to
suspend or expel students who
repeatedly interfere with others
free speech. Similar legislation
was recently approved in Virginia
and Colorado, and is being consid-
ered in California, Michigan and
North Carolina. The bills are mod-
eled after a proposal by the
Goldwater Institute, a conservative
think tank in Arizona.
Others are calling for colleges to
adopt stronger policies in support
of free expression, and for primary
schools to bolster lessons on the
First Amendment.
We are seeing things on an all-
too-regular basis which would
have been unthinkable just a few
years ago, said Floyd Abrams, a
prominent First Amendment attor-
ney in New York City. One can
only hope that tempers will cool
and people will come to accept the
virtues of living in a society where
even offensive speech is fully pro-
tected by the First Amendment.

Lawmakers reach agreement on stalled VA accountability bill

By Hope Yen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Congressional
Republicans and Democrats have reached
agreement on a long-stalled bill to make it
easier for the Department of Veterans Affairs
to fire its employees, part of an accounta-
bility effort touted by President Donald
Trump.
The deal announced Thursday could
smooth the way for final passage on an
issue that had been in limbo since the 2014
wait-time scandal at the Phoenix VA medical
center. As many as 40 veterans died while
waiting months for appointments as VA
employees created secret waiting lists to
cover up delays.
The bipartisan deal on Capitol Hill fol-
lowed a fresh warning from the VA inspector
general of continuing patient safety prob-
lems at another facility, the VA medical cen-
ter in Washington, D.C. After uncovering
serious problems there last month, the IGs
rapid response team visited the facility
again on Wednesday and found at least two
new instances in which patients were
placed at unnecessary risk.
In one case, they found a patient prepped
for vascular surgery in an operating room,

Trump didnt invent the

phrase prime the pump
By Josh Boak
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON President Donald Trump
took credit in an interview for coining the
phrase prime the pump, seemingly
unaware that it was popularized during the
Great Depression more than 80 years ago
and has been used frequently ever since.
I came up with it a couple of days ago and
I thought it was good, Trump told The

Its another goof by a president with a

The Merriam-Webster dictionary people
quickly tweeted that the phrase priming the
pump has been around since the early
1800s.
Literally, its about pouring water into a
pump to allow it to create suction. The
phrase was commonly used by mining pub-
lications during the 1920s, but it took on
new significance after the economy cratered
during the Great Depression.
By 1933, President Franklin D.
Roosevelt had promoted the idea of flushing
money into the economy in order to stimu-

associated with the British economist John

Trump: I was going to

fire that showboat
By Julie Pace,
Eileen Sullivan and Jake Pearson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Contradicting previous
White House explanations, President
Donald Trump declared Thursday he had
planned to fire FBI Director James Comey
all along, regardless of whether top Justice
Department officials recommended the stun-
ning step. His assertions came as Comeys
temporary replacement joined in, contra-
dicting other administration statements on
the snowballing controversy.
In an interview with NBC News, Trump
also said hed asked Comey point-blank if
he was under investigation and was assured
three times he was not. Trump showed no
concern that the request might be viewed as
interference in an active FBI probe into his
2016 campaigns possible ties to Russias
election meddling.
I said, If its possible, would you let me
know am I under investigation? He said you
are not under investigation, Trump told
NBC. He said the discussions happened in
two phone calls and at a dinner in which
Comey was asking to keep his job.
Comey has not confirmed Trumps
account.
The New York Times late Thursday cited
two unnamed Comey associates who
recounted his tale of a January dinner with
the president in which Trump asked for a
pledge of loyalty. Comey declined, instead
offering honesty. When Trump then
pressed for honest loyalty, Comey told
the president, you will have that, said the
associates, who told the newspaper they
agreed to keep the story confidential while
Comey was FBI director.
White House spokeswoman Sarah
Huckabee Sanders disputed the report and
said the president would never even sug-
gest the expectation of personal loyalty.
But the account echoed wording in a com-
ment made a day earlier to the Associated
Press by longtime Comey friend Daniel
Richman, a former federal prosecutor, who
said the president had removed somebody
unwilling to pledge absolute loyalty to
him.
The White House initially cited a Justice
Department memo criticizing Comeys han-
dling of last years investigation into
Hillary Clintons emails as the impetus for
Trumps decision. But Trump on Thursday REUTERS

Trump launches commission

to investigate voter fraud
By Ken Thomas
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON President Donald Trump
signed an executive order Thursday launch-
ing a commission to review alleged voter
fraud and voter suppression, building upon
his unsubstantiated claims that millions of
people voted illegally in the 2016 election.
The White House said the presidents
Advisory Commission on Election
Integrity would examine allegations of
improper voting and fraudulent voter regis-
tration in states and across the nation. Vice
President Mike Pence will chair the panel
and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach
will be vice chair of the commission, which
will report back to Trump by 2018.
Trump has alleged, without evidence, that
3 million to 5 million people voted illegal-
ly in his 2016 election against Democrat
Hillary Clinton. He has vowed since the
start of his administration to investigate
voter fraud, a process that has been delayed
for months.
Last November, Kobach said he supported
Trumps assertions that he would have won
the popular vote if millions of people
hadnt voted illegally.
Democrats and voting rights groups
called the panel a sham, arguing there are
few, if any, credible allegations of signifi-
cant voter fraud. They warned that the panel
would be used to lay the groundwork for
stricter voting requirements that could make
it more difficult for poor and minority vot-
ers to access the ballot box.
The sole purpose of this commission is
to propagate a myth and to give encourage-
ment to Republican governors and state leg-
islators to increase voter suppression, said
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who chal-
lenged Clinton for the Democratic presiden-
tial nomination.
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer
of New York said it was a clear front for
constricting the access to vote to poor
Americans, older Americans, and above
all African-Americans and Latinos.
White House spokeswoman Sarah
Huckabee Sanders said the commission
would be bipartisan and composed of about a
dozen members, including current and for-
mer state election officials and experts.

Twenty attorneys general call Around the nation

for independent probe into Russia
BOSTON A group of 20 attorneys gen-
eral, all Democrats, is calling for the
appointment of an independent special
counsel to continue the investigation into
Russian interference in last years presiden-
tial election.
The group led by Massachusetts Attorney
General Maura Healey called Republican
President Donald Trumps firing of FBI
Director James Comey during the ongoing
investigation a violation of public trust.
The group said in a Thursday letter to
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein
that only the appointment of an independ-
ent special counsel with full powers and
resources can begin to restore public confi-
dence.
Those signing the letter include the attor-
neys general of California, Connecticut,
Delaware, the District of Columbia, Hawaii,
Iowa, Illinois, Maine, Maryland,
Minnesota, New Mexico, New York, North

Island, Virginia, Vermont and Washington.

The power of language and identity
By Kevin Skelly
A
few months ago, I attended
the San Mateo City Council
study session where the coun-
cil discussed and heard comments on a
proposed resolution to support resi-
dents who lack citizenship documen-
tation. There were multiple speakers,
including many nervous high school
students who spoke in favor of the
resolution and opponents who spoke
against it.
The young people shared their sto-
ries of coming to San Mateo County
to escape crime, economic collapse in
their homeland and to be with their
parents and relatives. Despite being
able to communicate effectively in
English, the students chose to speak
in Spanish. While their arguments
resonated with me, I found myself
wishing the students had shared their
considerable English skills; it some-
how felt like it took something away
from their points.
A few weeks later, I attended the
Capuchino High School
Reclassification Ceremony. This
event is similar to a small graduation,
where 26 students from all over the
world receive certificates attesting to
their mastery of English. It was a joy-
ous affair, with family and friends of
the students shedding a few tears,
rejoicing, clapping and taking pic-
tures of their accomplished student.
Everyone was justifiably proud of the
students achievements, but there was

English and to

also tried to reassure the audience
that, by embracing the new language,
they werent rejecting the culture and
language of their parents and ances-
tors.
I had asked the Hillsdale High
School resolution student speakers
who attended the San Mateo City
Council meeting if they felt like
Americans or citizens of their native
land. This question made many of
them uncomfortable, with most
reporting feelings similar to what the
Capuchino student had expressed.
Many mentioned that, to embrace
fully what will probably be their new
home for the rest of their lives felt
like a loss of loyalty for something
else. This answer feels similar to the

Republicans and the entire media
have been calling for James Comey
to be red. Now, President Trump has

Broken immigration system
I
t is a well-known fact that humans will go where there
are resources. Its not just a characteristic of the human
race, it is true for all living creatures.
When resources dry up, there might be opportunity else-
where. And so it is with the United States. The founding of
this country was based on the idea of others both looking
for new resources but also seeking freedom and opportunity.
It could be freedom from religious persecution. It could be
money to send home to a struggling family or escaping a
crumbling community. It could be working toward the
American Dream.
The history of the United
States is lled with stories of
people coming from other
countries seeking opportunity
and even those from other parts
of the country coming to
California for new opportuni-
ties, specically during the
Gold Rush and the Dust Bowl
eras.
Today is no different. Here, in
San Mateo County, we have
opportunities provided by the
high-tech industry and workers
come from every corner of the
globe to take part. Many have
special work visas. There are also those Mexico and Central
American countries who seek opportunity here. Many do
not have work visas even though they provide valuable
work services. It is a hole in our nations immigration poli-
cy. Rich workers have documents. Poor workers do not.
And yet when anyone talks about our nations immigra-
tion policies, it usually centers around those without docu-
ments though there are substantive discussions to be had
about our worker visa program. Our system is broken, and
there is no other way to express it. There hasnt even been a
true effort to rectify it since the Reagan administration.
Even though our policy changes, our laws have not. For
several decades, there has been a cognizant policy of simply
ignoring our immigration laws unless someone here without
proper documentation commits a crime. The new presiden-
tial administration has a different thought, however, it is
not yet clear what exact tack it will take.
So people without proper documentation are nervous and
scared, and justiably so. While it is easy for some to lack
empathy for that situation and to point to our nations laws
on immigration as justication for that feeling, it is inher-
ently unfair for us as a nation to allow for illegal immigra-
tion through lax enforcement because of our business com-
munitys thirst for cheap labor. I loathe the phrase, we need
these people because they do the work no one else will and
because we want to pay them less so our goods and produce
cost less and we can have cheaper manual labor or services.
That cheaper labor comes at a cost as well. While our lettuce
may be cheaper, our health and social services system and
our educational system is also affected. It is simply immoral
to say we need to create a second class of people in our
nation who somehow can make do with less money simply
because they do not have proper documentation.
After decades in this country, those who are here without
documentation are neighbors, friends, co-workers and class-
mates. We know them, they are equal.
At this point, the only solution to our immigration situa-
tion is amnesty for those without felony records, and that
will include nearly all. Deporting every immigrant here
without documentation does not make any nancial sense.
The exercise alone is simply too costly. It will also dramati-
cally disrupt our workforce and, frankly, our economy.
Additionally, there is a moral argument against tearing apart
families and communities, literally ripping away the seams
of our current nation.
Yet there is no political will for something like this to
happen. We only point ngers and defend whichever point
of view to which we subscribe. During the Obama adminis-
tration, we ignored it. During the Trump administration, we
dont know which direction we will turn but one could argue
the inaction of the previous eight years, and the years
before that, was one of the causes of the electoral decision
that led to the new administration.
One could also argue that without a clear system in place
that reects the current situation we are in, there will be fur-
ther turmoil. How would you feel if you fullled the same
destiny of so many others before you in coming to this
country under a policy that basically said it was ne, worked
hard, started a new life, became a part of the community fab-
ric and then were told you were a burden and should be
removed? You might be bitter or at least dismayed. And cre-
ating that type of emotion in millions of people does not
lead to a positive place.
Amnesty with new rules for immigration, including new
categories for worker visas and further checks for those
coming into this country and fees to cover costs will ame-
liorate the current situation. Can we get there? In this cli-
mate, it appears not. But it is all the more essential to work
toward it for the stability of our economic system and for
the moral betterment of our nation, if it is indeed still the
Land of Opportunity.

Disappointing retail earnings drag on stocks

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Disappointing quarterly results

SAN FRANCISCO A federal
judge in San Francisco has
approved a $1.2 billion settle-

Volkswagens with 3-liter diesel
engines rigged to cheat on emis-

Judge Charles Breyer gave the

in 2015.
Owners of 3-liter models from
2009-2012 that cant be fixed to

$16,114. If VW cant fix the newer
cars, then the owners attorneys
can return to court to seek buy-

Wells Fargo plans to cut
additional $2 billion in costs
OMAHA, Neb. Wells Fargo is
planning an additional $2 billion
in annual cost cuts as it recovers
from a sales scandal last year.
Wells Fargo has already
announced that it would cut $2 bil-
lion in annual expenses by the end
of next year. Most of those sav-
ings will come from consolidated
operations and the closure of 450
branches.
Chief Financial Officer John
Shrewsberry says another $2 bil-
lion in cuts will be made in 2019.
Executives with the San
Francisco bank met with investors
Thursday to discuss plans going
forward.
The bank acknowledged last fall
that employees opened as many as
2 million bank accounts without
customer approval for the purpose
of meeting unrealistic sales goals.

Almost 40 percent of those interviewed said they left
home due to attacks, threats, extortion or attempts at
forced recruitment by gangs in Central America. About
44 percent of the migrants had a relative who had died
in the last two years due to violence, and that rose to
56 percent for those from El Salvador.

Of the 166 female migrants treated by MSF for sexual
violence, 60 percent had been raped and the rest were
subjected to other kinds of assault such as forced
nudity. Among 1,817 people treated for mental health

violence during transit.

WASHINGTON The U.S. must do something very dif-

ferent in Afghanistan, such as placing American military
advisers closer to the front lines of battle, or risk squander-
ing all that has been invested there in recent years, the head
of the Pentagons military intelligence agency said
Thursday.
The grim assessment by Marine Lt. Gen. Vincent Stewart,
director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, comes as the
Trump administration considers Pentagon recommenda-
tions to add more U.S. and NATO troops and to deepen sup-
port for Afghan forces. The timing of a White House deci-
sion is unclear but is not expected this week.
In testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee,
Stewart said he visited Afghanistan about six weeks ago to
see for himself what others have called a stalemate with the
Taliban, the insurgent group that was removed from power
in 2001 by invading U.S. forces.
Left unchecked, that stalemate will deteriorate in the
favor of the belligerents, Stewart said, referring to the
Taliban. So, we have to do something very different than
what we have been doing in the past. He mentioned
increasing the number of U.S. and NATO advisers and pos-
sibly allowing them to advise Afghan forces who are more
directly involved in the fighting. Currently the advisers
work with upper-echelon Afghan units far removed from the
front lines.
If such changes are not made, Stewart said, the situation
will continue to deteriorate and well lose all the gains Leading local news coverage on the Peninsula

REVISE
Continued from page 1
Hill, D-San Mateo.
As in any statewide spending plan, theres
pros and cons, as well as potential benefits
specific for San Mateo County and the
Peninsula.
The upside
Benefits range from the potential to fund
Highway 101 congestion relief to enhanced
assistance for child care costs. Theres also
additional funds for schools in low-income
areas, and temporary support for the dis-
abled or elderly relying on a county in-
home health care support program.
If nothing else, the governor has been
consistent in his fiscal prudence and that is
something that I support, said
Assemblyman Kevin Mullin, D-South San
Francisco. The revise suggests that its
going to be a strong year for education and
child care. The child care piece is I think the
best piece of news from the May revise,
were going to be restoring $500 million.
Assemblyman Marc Berman, D-Palo Alto
agreed, noting the high cost of child care
has many constituents struggling.
The cost of child care has gone up, but
also just the cost of living has gone up. Any
funding that we can put toward services for
the middle class and to the lower socioeco-
nomic classes is great, Berman said.
Hill echoed the sentiment, adding what
we pay for child care especially affects the
high cost of living we have in the
Peninsula.
BUDGET
Continued from page 1
Spending has gone up far more than any-
body ever imagined, Brown said, citing a
tax increase and improving economy. Yet he
warned again that the economy could tank,
taking the states budget with it and forcing
sharp cuts in future years if lawmakers over-
spend now.
What were doing is fighting as hard as
we can so that never happens, he said.
Democratic legislative leaders gave a
tepid response to Browns initial budget
plan in January, rejecting his proposed cuts
to college scholarships and child care
providers while insisting they would push
to increase spending on social welfare pro-
grams.
Brown had proposed a $122.5 billion
budget that kept general fund spending

Low-income school districts are also slat-
ed to benefit with an additional $1.4 billion
set aside for K-12 education through the
Local Control Funding Formula.
It will help the districts that are not as
wealthy, Hill said. Its really a plus for
San Mateo County.
Berman said hes pleased by the increased
funding for K-12 and the states higher edu-
cation system, but would like to see addi-
tional availability of scholarships for mid-
dle-class students looking to attend state
colleges.
Still, he sympathized with the budgetary
limitations.
Its prudent for us to be cautious given
the instability in Washington, so I under-
stand where the governors coming from.
Its better than [his proposal in] January,
and hopefully by the time the Legislature
goes through our process, by mid-June well
get closer to what wed all like to see,
Berman said.
One of the major unknowns from
Washington is what will happen as congres-
sional Republicans reattempt to dismantle
the Affordable Care Act. One relief for some
California health care providers was Brown
adding $400 million to the Coordinated
Care Initiative in his updated budget. San
Mateo County is one of a few piloting the
program that provides the disabled and eld-
erly with enhanced in-home support servic-
es. State funding would taper in subsequent
years leaving the counties responsible.
Another area in which the state opted to
take charge while the federal government
stymies on increased infrastructure funding,
was to overhaul Californias transportation
funding system.
Mullin noted the May revise includes
mostly flat. The Democratic governor
called for more than $3 billion in cuts
because of a projected deficit he pegged at
$1. 6 billion. His administration later
acknowledged it miscalculated health care
costs.
His less-dire budget now cites increased
revenue based primarily on higher capital
gains. His finance director, Michael Cohen,
said the deficit is now pegged at about $400
million.
Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de Leon,
D-Los Angeles, called the plan an improve-
ment from his January proposal.
Assemblyman Phil Ting, a San Francisco
Democrat, chairman of the Assembly
Budget Committee, said the states econo-
my is in good enough shape to craft a budg-
et that helps more of our people prosper and
build a better future for their kids.
That includes preserving middle-class
college scholarships, increasing Medi-Cal
payments to doctors and funding affordable
housing, he said in a statement none of

$2.8 billion from the recently approved
Senate Bill 1 also known as the gas tax
increase.
That will have a direct impact in San
Mateo County because we are in line for the
first installment of the congested corridor
money, Mullin said, adding the region will
be competitive for a portion of the $250
million to be allocated for specific relief. I
think the potential exists both for dollars
for the [Highway] 101 corridor and Caltrain
electrification.
Republican leaders in the state Senate
have been highly critical of the gas tax hike
and followed with a similar sentiment to
Browns proposal.
After giving Californians a lemon of a
gas and car tax hike, Sacramento Democrats
seem intent on giving them a lemon of a
budget, state Sen. Pat Bates, R-Laguna
Niguel, said in a press release. Over the
past six years, spending has gone up by
$38 billion, and questionable priorities
such as high-speed rail continue to be fund-
ed.
Hollow on housing
One prime area in which Democrats ques-
tion Browns priorities is in his lack of
offers to address the regional affordable
housing crisis. This budget doesnt include
last years controversial by-right proposal
in which Brown made a one-time $400 mil-
lion offer in exchange for easing develop-
ment barriers a move criticized as taking
away land use decisions from local govern-
ments.
We need the governor at the table on
affordable housing issues like he was on the
transportation package, Mullin said. The
reality is housing is such a complicated
which were included in the governors pro-
posal.
Assembly Minority Leader Chad Mayes, a
Yucca Valley Republican, called Browns
latest budget a bait and switch, citing vot-
ers approval last year of tax increases that
he said were meant to fund health and dental
care and support schools. Browns budget
siphons that money to general state spend-
ing instead, Mayes said.
The ranking Republican on the Assembly
Budget Committee, Jay Obernolte of
Hesperia, was kinder, adding that the
revised budget makes some responsible
choices based on the states fiscal uncer-
tainty. He praised Browns plan to pay down
part of the $200 billion of unfunded pen-
sion health care liabilities.
Brown proposes to use much of the tobac-
co tax increase to cover normal growth in
Medi-Cal, a publicly funded health plan that
covers 1 in 3 Californians. The initiative
had been promoted by doctors, dentists and
others who thought the money would be

issue, a multifaceted issue when youre talk-
ing about [environmental regulations] and
issues around barriers to development.
Those complicated issues and the interplay
between regional priorities and local land
use really require gubernatorial leadership
to help shape a package, whether its
reforms or funding.
In the meantime, the local legislators
noted various bills winding their way
through Sacramento that aim to address
affordable housing. They pointed to a pro-
posal by Assemblywoman Toni Atkins, D-
San Diego, to create a dedicated funding
source by creating a new $75 recording fee
for real estate documents; and legislation by
Assemblyman David Chiu, D-San
Francisco, to eliminate tax credits for sec-
ond homes.
While Brown hasnt explicitly outlined
funding in the budget, Berman said he hopes
at the end of the day, both sides will do
what they need to do so the Legislature will
pass some laws to make it easier to develop
housing, and the governor will support
additional funding for affordable housing.
Hill, who added he was disappointed to
see the state not reinstate funding for the
court systems, noted Brown may think the
cost of addressing the housing crisis is
insurmountable.
Im hoping [Brown] will be sensitive to
some of the legislation thats coming
through that could provide some relief,
Hill said.
Mullin contends a stronger stance may be
needed, ensuring they would continue to
push this in the budget process and drag the
governor to the negotiating table. The issue
is too important and the crisis is too severe
to walk away.

significantly lower than private insurance.
The budget negotiations come as the U.S.
Congress considers repealing former
President Barack Obamas health care law,
which California embraced to add nearly 4
million people to Medi-Cal. Administration
officials say under a bill passed by the
House last week federal funding for Medi-
Cal would fall by $6 billion in 2020 and by
$24 billion by 2027.
Weve got ongoing pressures from
Washington, and the economic recovery is
not going to last forever, Brown said.
Tax collections have slowed since the
governors previous spending plan was
released. Revenue in April the most
important month for tax collections
because of the deadline for filing personal
income taxes fell far short of expecta-
tions.

Texas bill could deny wrestler title defense
By Jim Vertuno
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUSTIN, Texas When transgender
wrestler Mack Beggs won a girls state
championship, his victory drew jeers and
complaints that his steroid therapy treat-
ment had given him an unfair advantage
against girls who risked injury just by get-
ting on the mat with him.
Now Texas lawmakers are pushing a bill
that could ultimately deny Beggs, a Dallas-
area junior, a chance to defend his title next
year.
The proposal working its way through the
Legislature would require transgender stu-
dents like Beggs to turn over their medical
information to the University
Interscholastic League, the states govern-
ing body for public high school sports. The
UIL would be allowed to disqualify an ath-
lete undergoing hormone therapy if the
safety of competing students or the fairness
of a particular competition has been or will
be substantially affected by the students

Giants falter late on Reds clutch pinch-hit
By Gideon Rubin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO Zack Cozart had two
extra-base hits, including an RBI double in
the top of the eighth inning that scored the
game-winner, as the Cincinnati Reds defeated
the Giants 3-2 on Thursday night.
The Reds won for the ninth time in 11
games and have won 15 of their last 20 games
at AT&T Park going back to the 2012 NLDS.
The Giants lost despite a four-hit game
from center fielder Denard Span in his first
game since coming off the disabled list. The
Giants, who have an MLB-worst 12-24
record, lost for the sixth time in seven games
and for the 10th time in their last 12.
Cozart doubled to left center off Giants
reliever Hunter Strickland (0-1) scoring
Scooter Gennett, who tripled to right leading
off the eighth inning.
Wandy Peralta (2-0) pitched 1 1/3 score-
less innings. He came into the game with
two baserunners aboard and two outs in the
bottom of the seventh and got Brandon Belt
to fly out to left.
Peralta pitched around Brandon Crawfords
one-out double in the top of the eighth.

Mack Beggs disqualified. His title-
winning match earned
him a bloody nose on the mat and boos from

record and wants to wrestle next season in
his senior year.
The UIL prohibits steroids use, but Texas
has a safe harbor provision that allows
transgender students undergoing hormone
therapy treatments under the direction of a
doctor to compete. Texas also requires trans-
gender athletes to compete in the gender
listed on their birth certificate. For Beggs,
that meant he had to wrestle against girls

would not change that rule.

the UIL and questioned why lawmakers are
pursuing the change.
I would hope they are not singling him
out, Baxter said, noting that a now-defund-
ed UIL program that tested more than
63,000 athletes caught just a handful of
cheaters before it was scuttled in 2015. If
politicians are truly concerned with safety,
they should test everyone.
Under NCAA rules, athletes transitioning
from female to male are allowed to compete
on mens teams while taking testosterone,
but cant compete on womens teams.
USA Wrestling in March adopted a rule
that would require Beggs to wrestle as a male
in their events. Beggs planned to compete
in USA Wrestling events this spring, but he
would return to the girls side of competi-
tion in Texas if the rules dont change.
Texas is one of seven states that require
high school students to provide a birth cer-
tificate, proof of gender-reassignment sur-
gery or documentation of hormone therapy,
according to TransAthlete.com.
UIL officials say killing the testing pro-
gram limited their ability to police steroid
use in competition. Beggs case is one they
snap a 1-1 tie.
Giants starter Ty Blach remains winless in
four starts after allowing two runs, five hits
and one walk in seven innings.
He retired the first nine batters he faced in
order, a streak that ended when Billy Hamilton
singled leading off the top of the fourth inning.
Hamilton took third on Cozarts double and
scored on Joey Vottos infield grounder.

Barnes told lawmakers in a Senate hearing
on the bill last month.
State Sen. Bob Hall, a Republican from
Edgewood, said his bill isnt aimed at dis-
qualifying transgender students, but to give
the UIL a tool in combating steroid use.
This is for fairness and safety of the stu-
dents, said Hall, who filed the bill two
weeks after Beggs won his state title.
State Sen. Sylvia Garcia, a Houston
Democrat, was skeptical of that explana-
tion.
Isnt the real intent of your bill to ban
students who are undergoing steroid or other
hormone treatment? she asked. On its face
it seems to have everything to do with

The bill has passed the Senate and now

NFL owners want to see Vegas
stadium lease at May meetings
LAS VEGAS The Oakland Raiders and
the public entity that oversees their pro-
posed stadium in Las Vegas have a little over
a week to agree on a conditional lease to
avoid any delays on the teams relocation.
Raiders President Marc Badain on
Thursday said the lease agreement is on the
agenda of the NFL league owners meetings
scheduled to begin later this month. If one
is not presented, there is a distinct possi-
bility that teams move to Sin City could
be pushed until the 2021 season, Badain
said.
Meetings this month are scheduled to
begin May 22 in Chicago. The league own-
ers approved the teams relocation during
their gathering in March. The Raiders want
to kick off the 2020 season at a proposed
65,000-seat domed stadium that would be
built near the Las Vegas Strip, west of the
Mandalay Bay casino-resort.
Stadium Authority board chairman Steve
Hill said he believes the public entity and
the Raiders can get done by the deadline a
lease agreement with certain conditions, as
it encompasses several other agreements
that both sides must still work on.

on view from May 21 through July 30.
Richard Kamlers work, spanning four
decades, includes sculptural installations in
and about prisons. The PMA exhibition
presents remnants of those installations as
well as installations advocating for freedom
for all people. Among the pieces featured
will be Waiting Room: Last Meals, an
installation of lead cafeteria trays depicting
the pizza, onion rings, pie, etc. consumed
by death row inmates before their execu-
tions, in addition to an empty tray symbol-
izing those who decline to eat. The piece
challenges the viewer to consider the com-
mon choices we share with those leading
uncommon lives. Other work addresses the
points of view of the victims of violent
crime. Also on display is a photograph of
Make Bread Not Bombs, an enormous
loaf of bread Kamler created to tow around
the San Francisco Bay during Fleet Week in
1995. His intention was to point out eco-
logical damage to the Bay by the U.S. Navy
and the damage to the planet by nuclear test-
ing.
Kamler said: This idea that art can
engage in worldly affairs, can change the
laws of the world, is what has driven my
work these past 40 years. That art is a cata-
lyst for social change and cultural transfor-
mation. When my son was young, 2 or 3,

ABOUT THE ARTIST. Kamler has been
making socially-engaged art since 1976,
when he made his first major installation,
Out of Holocaust, a full size reconstructed
section of one of the barracks from the
Auschwitz Death Camp. Since that time his
public installations, audio pieces, actions
and events, drawings, sculptures and public
presentations have dealt with a range of
social, cultural, political and environmen-
tal considerations and have been exhibited
nationally and internationally, including at
the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
Kamler approaches his practice from the
premise that art is, and can be, a catalyst for
engagement. A graduate of UC Berkeley,

To make heavenly banana bread, use vegetable oil

By Elizabeth Karmel
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Everyone makes banana bread. And
most people love it. A good friend of
mine always makes it with chocolate
chips because her family will eat any-
thing with chocolate in it. I grew up
with my mother making banana bread
with butter and pecans, and I thought it
was very good until I accidently creat-
ed the worlds best banana bread a few
years ago.
Here is a little background: Anyone
who bakes knows that there are butter
cakes and oil cakes. Most of the cakes
I make, I make with butter, but my
Grandmothers Apple Cake is made
with vegetable oil and it is always the
crowd favorite. So, when I was work-
ing on the recipes for my upcoming
Steak and Cake cookbook, I decided
to see how banana bread made with
vegetable oil would taste versus my
mothers butter recipe.
I was visiting my sister in Houston,
and her twin daughters wanted to bake
with me. To make sure that everyone
had a part in making the recipe, I
passed out three bowls. One for each of
my nieces, and one for me. I then
divided the recipe into three parts.
Natalie mashed the bananas with most
of the sugar and the vanilla, Olivia
measured and whisked the flour and
remaining sugar with the other dry
ingredients, and I blended the eggs and
the vegetable oil.
We mixed the eggs and the flour
together, added the completely lique-
fied banana-sugar mixture and added
toasted walnuts for taste and texture. I
decorated the tops of the loaves with
walnuts and ushered the loaves into the
oven.
Of course, they smelled heavenly as
they baked all banana bread smells
heavenly. But once the loaves were out
and cooled enough to taste, it was a
whole new world.
There was even caramelization all
the way through the loaf which is sig-
nificant because many loaves of
banana bread are darker on the bottom
than the top. And, the crumb of the
cake was soft and silky but very light
and moist. Dry banana bread is also a
common complaint and this was the

ALIEN
Continued from page 18
In Scotts Alien: Covenant, taking
place ten years after Prometheus, the so-
called Engineers are, thankfully, nowhere to
be seen. Back instead are everyones
favorite extraterrestrials, those acid-drip-
ping drama queens so fond of making a big
entrance. Like some of the alien offspring,
Covenant is a hybrid: part gory Alien-
style scare-fest, part chilly Prometheus
existentialism. Its a tall order of thrills and
theology that the ever gung-ho Scott, work-
ing from a script by John Logan and Dante
Harper, comes close to pulling off.
But while Alien: Covenant has an ace
up its sleeve Michael Fassbender times
two the sheer number of tricks Alien:
Covenant pulls out, some of them lifted
from the five earlier installments, adds to a
general sense of deja vu, which is no doubt
made worse by the many Alien rip-offs
that now adorn our galaxy. Yet what was
once a slithery straightforward monster
movie in space has mutated into an impres-
sively ambitious but overly ornate saga.
Alien: Covenant has plenty to offer, but
unfortunately requires ample study of
Prometheus.
The captain of the Covenant (James
Franco, for a heartbeat) doesnt survive the
shock wave, leaving the uncertain Oram
(Billy Crudup) to lead the crew that includes
Daniels (Katherine Waterson, our more
demure, less imposing Ripley), the impru-
dent pilot Tennessee (Danny McBride) and
Walter (Fassbender), an upgraded model of
David, the android the actor played in
Prometheus.
Its Orams decision to detour for the John
Denver-blasting planet, one that initially
looks smart. Once through the stormy
atmosphere, they find a beautifully moun-
tainous landscape complete with foggy
lakes and fields of wheat. But there are omi-
nous warnings, like an eerie silence because
planted the wheat? When one of the crew
members says hes going to take a leak,
he might as well be announcing his immi-
nent death.
When things go haywire, the crew freak
out and make such poor, emotional deci-
sions that you, as in prior Alien films,
find yourself rooting for the creatures with
bike-helmet skulls. They might not be pret-
ty, but theyre not foolish.
The Alien films have always been where
our idealistic adventuring and world-con-
quering hubris are brutally brought down to
earth, even in the deep reaches of space.
Thats why the insertion of an artificial
intelligence has been fitting. The lone
human(ish) presence on the planet turns out
to be David, who has, ala Apocalypse
Now, been living a godlike existence,
lording over his creations.
Not as intensely mechanical as his newer
model, he has clearly developed some
unusual glitches. He quotes Byron, with
jealousy. Like a robot Brando, he sings
Carlo while trimming his hair. Hes a kind
of frustrated poet who yearns to create like
the man who made him.
The scenes between David and Walter have
a strange, erotic energy. David, trying to
unshackle his fellow android from servi-
tude, urges him to make music and teaches
him how to play a recorder. You have sym-
phonies in you, brother! he encourages.
For Fassbender, an actor capable of preci-
sion and madness in equal measure, the dual
parts are a feast.
There are moments for Daniels and the
Alien, too, as Alien: Covenant winds
along. But by the films belabored end, the
franchise has shed its host. This is no
longer an Alien movie, its an android
one.
Alien: Covenant, a 20th Century Fox
release, is rated R by the Motion Picture
Association of America for sci-fi violence,
bloody images, language and some sexuali-
ty/nudity. Running time: 123 minutes.
Two and a half stars out of four.

WEEKEND JOURNAL
NEWS
Continued from page 1
faux articles commonly shared through
social media during the most recent
presidential election, as a whirlwind of
artificial information was circulated to
advance one candidate at the expense
of another.
The term has taken on additional
meaning following the election, as
President Donald Trump dispatches it
as a pejorative directed at media outlets
in response to critical coverage. The
topic has become so prevalent that
social media networks such as
Facebook have launched new tools
dedicated to helping users identify sus-
pect stories.
With so many competing narratives
surrounding the issue, Burlingame
Adult Services librarian Elaine Tai said
it is due time for locals to wholly
address half truths and fake news.
In this Google world, people have
grown accustomed to instant access to
information. Theres an overwhelming
amount of information and it is readily
available, even when we arent look-
ing for it. People often accept the first
result they get or take a newsfeed head-
line as truth without reading further,
she said in an email.
Libraries are the right place to have
this conversation, said Tai, as the
facilities have long survived on their
ROSATI
Continued from page 19
year. Fast-forward 10 years.
Our conversation with Mark Rosati:
AP: Tel l us ho w to thi nk l i ke a
burg er maker? Do es kal e ev er
bel o ng o n a burg er? Why cant
y o u g et a burg er rare at Shake
Shack?
Ro s ati : It comes down to you need
to find the finest ingredients possible
if youre going to make a really stellar
burger.
And kale, yeah, it can work in the
right context. Maybe if its in the sum-
mertime and you throw the kale on the
griddle and it gets a little smoky and
crispy, toss in some olive oil, maybe
some garlic, maybe a little Parmesan
cheese and put that on top of a burger.
Thats going to be pretty good.
We feel the best experience is in
t h e b urg ers co o k ed medi um. We
wan t t h o s e j ui ces t o b e a l i t t l e
runny and drippy. Thats where the
pleasure factor is. You need to use
t h e wh o l e mus cl e, o r t h e s t eak ,
because thats where all the flavor
is. If you take the trimmings, which
most butchers do, they dont have
reputation for being a hub of learning
and source for cold hard facts.
Librarians have always played a
role in getting people to the right
information. Traditionally that was
finding information in stacks of
books, but now its more likely to be
weeding through links to get the core
of an issue, she said.
Kasianovitz can be a tremendous
resource for sussing out suspicious
info because she has such an extensive
resume of identifying reliability, said
Tai.
She brings a unique perspective to
understanding and using this type of
primary source information which
includes statistical and legislative
sources; studies and reports from agen-
cies, Tai said. We are both hosting
the workshop, but Kris brings addi-
tional experience and expertise in her
role.
The decision to host the workshop
was driven partially through requests
from library visitors seeking more
tools for defending against the flood
of fake news, said Tai.
We have heard some concerns from
patrons, especially about wanting
more information about a news topic
they saw and how to find information,
as well as seen it in our own lives, for
example, among peers and family,
she said.
Similar sessions have been hosted
across the nation as the publics aware-
ness of the issue has enhanced in
the flavor. Thats the real secret.
AP: Whats y o ur fav o ri te burg -
er?
Ro s at i : Its probably our
SmokeShack burger. Its very personal
why I love that burger. It was the first
burger we ever added to the menu since
the inception of Shake Shack. We
wanted to add a bacon burger and we
knew it would be too easy just to add
bacon. We wanted to do a burger based
around the flavors and textures of
bacon. I thought about chopped and
pickled cherry peppers. I grew up in an
Italian household. My parents would
cook a pork chop and put cherry pep-
pers in the pan. The cherry peppers
brought acidity and heat, which cut
through the richness of an otherwise
rich meat.
So its a cheeseburger with
ShackSauce, which is a mayo-based
sauce, with bacon on a buttered bun.
Thats a lot rich flavors and textures,
so I thought about the cherry peppers.
AP: The bo o k menti o ns ho w
Shake Shack co mes o ut o f the
fi ne di ni ng tradi ti o n. Are y o u
s ug g es ti ng that Shake Shack i s
fi ne di ni ng ?
Ro s ati : Its us going out and trying
to source the absolute finest food, for
not only our core menu, our
ShackBurger, our fries, but also when
Friday May 12, 2017 23
recent months, she added.
Though the workshop will drill
down on strategies for identifying arti-
ficial information cloaked in legitima-
cy, Tai said poor access to the author
and source website along with absence
of contact information, vaguely pre-
sented data and potentially altered
photographs are among signs to look
for in fake news.
When no clear path seems evident to
seeking a sources legitimacy, Tai said
the burden can fall back on the reader
by asking if the information sounds
outlandish or exaggerated.
There are also reference websites
such as snopes.com or allsides.com
which can help readers analyze a news
item they may feel is questionable, she
said.
Ultimately, Tai said she is hopeful
the event will further the librarys mis-
sion of making reliable information
more accessible for local residents.
The library wants to make sure it is
a space that can share and foster
knowledge in the community, and so
along with programs delving into cur-
rent events and sharing varied experi-
ences, we wanted to present a work-
shop to do our share in ensuring local
residents are critical consumers of
information, she said.
The session will be hosted 7 p.m.
Wednesday, May 24, in the Lane Room
at the library, 480 Primrose Road.
Visit Burlingame.org/library for more
information.
we open a new city, its the same
thing. We look at going to a city like
Los Angeles and we reach out to a lot of
our fine dining friends, be it chocolate
makers, be it bakers, that we admire
and we bring in that talent.
When we opened in LA, Ive always
loved this jam maker called Sqirl. We
blend their jam into our frozen custard
for one shack in one city. Its one of
our frozen Concretes called the
Rainbow Connection with the straw-
berry jam from that chef, Jessica
Koslow. And another friend who I con-
sider one of the best bakers in all of
Los Angeles makes us an old fashioned
spice doughnut, then we add sprinkles
to it. You can only get it at our West
Hollywood location.
AP: What can y o u do abo ut the
l i nes ? They re crazy.
Ro s ati : Its funny because I used to
wait in that line in Madison Square
Park. Its only three blocks from
Gramercy Tavern and thats where I was
working. I would go there early, wait
in line for about an hour on a hot sum-
mer day, get my food and run back to
the kitchen at Gramercy. My col-
leagues would come in and ask me to
share and I was like hey man, Im the
one who put the time in there. You go
and put your own time in and get your
own burgers.

sponse. You can find these court forms
and more information at the California

and your wages, money, and property
may be taken without further warning

makes the highest bid and potentially file next years event to include women and did Titans company also faces unpaid bills.

AUCTION
Continued from page 1
San Mateo County Harbor District, which
issued the permit to the Los Angeles compa-
nies before they declared bankruptcy. Local
officials had hoped they could decide to
whom the permit would go, but one inter-
pretation is that the federal court superseded
the special districts authority. However,
unknowns are afloat, as others contend a
permit doesnt guarantee the right to host
an event.
On June 1, a range of ultra high-net-
worth individuals, media companies,
sports brands, television networks and oth-
ers are slated to start bidding on the Titans
brand for a minimum $1 million, according
to Cartels filings with the court.
But even with the Harbor Districts per-
mit, any entity seeking to host a surf con-
test at Mavericks will have to win
approvals from a slew of other regional,
state and federal authorities before poten-
tially running events as early as this winter.
The Harbor District filed an objection to
Cartels fast-paced auction schedule and
pointed to provisions that the permit it
issued in 2015 could only be sold with prior
approval from the local agency. The U.S.
Trustee, a division within the U. S.
Department of Justice, made a similar argu-
ment in an objection it filed Tuesday. But on
Wednesday, the court overturned most of the
districts objection. Instead, the bankruptcy
court decided its anticipated June 7 confir-
mation of a buyer would ultimately usurp
any other government approvals required,
according to filings.
District officials were disappointed by the
news, and noted they would review whoever
an objection if commissioners disapprove
although the court could again dismiss
their objections.
Were going to continue to do what we
think is right for the public because its a
public event and all of San Mateo County
benefits whether its through economic
development, recreational purposes or even
if youre competing, its a huge asset, said
Virginia Chang Kiraly, vice president of the
Harbor Districts Board of Commissioners.
Well try to keep as much local control as
possible.
Harbor Commissioner Sabrina Brennan
said Wednesdays decision leaves room for
interpretation and said theres a possibility
the permit might not be included in Cartels
auction. She argues the Harbor District will
still have the ability to decide whether to
execute a transfer of the permit and ensure
anyone looking to host a contest meets
requirements such as having insurance and
the ability to run a safe event.
The permit is not assignable without
consent of the Harbor District, Brennan
said, adding bidders should realize when
you hand over $1 million, you might get a
permit but it has Cartels name on it, not
your own. Theres going to be a lot of
work to be done. Its just simply not for
sale.
She added the district or other interested
parties could follow with objections in
court.
Snatching up Cartels assets is far from all
that a buyer must need to do before hosting
a contest at the surf break off Pillar Point
Harbor in Half Moon Bay. Theres a litany
of other approvals and permits that need to
be earned from regional, state and federal
agencies. One of the toughest to secure for
Cartel last year was from the California
Coastal Commission, which ordered the
not issue a multi-season permit.
After partnering with local organizers in
2014, Cartel held one successful event in
2015 before filing for Chapter 11 bankrupt-
cy in late January of this year citing politi-
cal and financial difficulties among other
things.
Mavericks Invitational Inc., a group of
locals who led prior events before partner-
ing with Cartel, argue the contended permit
actually belongs to them. The group
comprised of Mavericks maven Jeff Clark,
his wife Cassandra, and local business
owner Brian Overfelt has also filed a
$2.14 million claim against Cartel.
MII contends the Harbor District surrepti-
tiously dropped their name from the permit
instead of just adding Cartel for insurance
purposes. Initially, they had applied for an
extension, but following the board vote
staff made changes including for the first
time making the permit sellable, Overfelt
said.
Its ludicrous, its a massive mistake, coordinate a flurry of activity to ensure
Overfelt said, adding the questionable per-
mit could taint the auction process. Were
just waiting to see what happens, I believe
if someone opens the curtain and sees what
a mess this is, no one will want to touch it
because theres too many things that can
happen.
In the meantime, MII joined the bankrupt-
cy case by recently filing a claim against
Cartel alleging their former partner owes
them $2.14 million. Among other things,
MII says the cost of their planning and
operations guide, as well as event permits
including the Harbor Districts, is worth
$1.25 million.
Cartel says its spent up to $3 million on
branding and staging the big wave surf con-
test. According to its filings, Cartel alone
faces almost $1.9 million in debt while the
As part of the auction, interested buyers
have to prove they have the financial means
to offer at least $1 million before gaining
access to Cartels data room, which has
information about what will be for sale.
Those who decide to place a bid must put a
$50,000 deposit and a starting offer. The
bids would then increase by $100, 000
increments, according to Cartels filings.
Attorneys representing Cartel did not
return requests for comment.
The goal of the bankruptcy court is to try
and recover losses to Cartels creditors,
which Harbor District officials note doesnt
exactly align with their priorities to retain
local influence over the event.
The contest depends on volatile surf
conditions aligning between November
through May when the event can be called
in as little as 48-hours notice. The invite-
only contest attracts 24 of the bravest
surfers from around the globe to descend
into Half Moon Bay. Organizers must
contestants arrive, line up media cover-
age, and ideally host a festival for viewers
who are no longer allowed to watch from
the beach.
The World Surf League, which runs the
international Big Wave World Tour, previ-
ously expressed an interest in operating a
Mavericks contest and could again throw its
hat in the ring for a minimum $1 million.
Overfelt contends MII, which has experi-
ence running the event and includes Clark
who first surfed the wave before kicking off
contests in 1999, is well-versed it what it
takes to tackle Mavericks. Moving forward,
whether its through a partnership or other
means, Overfelt said the beloved local event
must stay true to its roots.
The future of the event should lie with the
community, he said.
