Parent advocates lead privatizer-funded school board campaigns
By Ken Epstein
In the midst of a nail-biting national election, which still overshadows all other news, local progressives have mobilized hundreds of volunteers and built winning campaigns as they appear to triumph in Oakland’s local City Council and school board elections. Electing a popular progressive leader to the council, they also beat back corporate billionaire-fueled campaigns to eliminate council’s anti-racist, pro-renter, affordable housing and police-reform leaders and maintain a pro-corporate school board committed to continuous budget cuts and closing neighborhood schools. The major apparent upset on the council this week, wellknown local activist and reform leader Carroll Fife led what she called a massive “people powered” campaign leading twoterm District 3 Councilmember Lynette Gibson McElhaney.

Oakland Measure Strengthening Police Commission is Passing with 81% Approval By Ken Epstein

As of 3:00 p.m. PST on Thursday, November 5, former Vice Pres. Joe Biden and his running mate, California Sen. Kamala Harris, are inching to the magic number of 270 electors while Pres. Donald J. Trump and Vice Pres.
Mike Pence lost court cases in Georgia with 16 electoral votes outstanding; Michigan, which awarded its 16 electoral votes to Biden. The Trump administration had a small victory in the courts over the ability to observe vote counting in Pennsylvania, which has 20
electoral votes outstanding. According to the Associated Press, the lawsuits are the groundwork for contesting a Biden/Harris victory. Results from North Carolina (15 votes), Nevada (6 votes), and Arizona (11 votes) are also not final.
Measure S1, which gives the voter-approved Police Commission more teeth, is passing with 81 percent of the vote. According to League of Women Voters of Oakland, which endorsed S1, the measure, “clarifies the roles and responsibilities of the Commission, the Agency, and the Inspector General in a manner that will enable the Commission to exercise
City’s Annual Community Thanksgiving Feast to Be Mobile This Year Oakland (BCN)
Oakland’s annual community Thanksgiving dinner is going to look a lot different this year because of the pandemic, city officials announced Friday. Thousands of low-income families and unhoused people have been served a traditional holiday feast each year for the past 28 years at one location, but this year meals will be provided in a different way and under a new name. Meals will be cooked at the Oakland Marriott, where the feast was held last year, and delivered to food pantry sites in the city. The event is now called the Community Day of Thanks and organizers are providing 1,000 more meals than last year’s 2,000 for a couple of
reasons. “The fact that it’s in the community, it enables more people to access it,” so there might be more demand, said Talia Yaffa Rubin, a licensed clinical social worker with Oakland’s Human Services Department. “And I think there is just a greater need in general,” Rubin said. The Day of Thanks will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 24,
two days before the official Thanksgiving holiday. The downtown Marriott will be a staging area this year rather than the sit-down dinner site. Traditional Thanksgiving fixings are on the menu. Event organizers are planning to have meals available at the food pantry sites between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., but the time could be a little different at each site. “We’re trying to replicate
that we’re all sitting down together,” Rubin said. People who are homebound will have a meal delivered to them. Some food pantries may require people to sign up for a meal or meals while other sites may be first come, first served. The Day of Thanks is part of the city’s Hunger Program, which began in 1985 under the administration of Mayor Lionel J. Wilson. City officials are seeking donations to help with the cost of meals. A donation of $26 will pay for a meal for one person and $104 will offset the cost of meals for a family of four. “We depend on donations to execute the event,” Rubin said. Donors can take a tax deContinued on Page 10

Big Donors Influence State Ballot Propositions By Post Staff
Much was at stake for Californian in this year’s statewide initiatives – strengthening rent control, ending cash bail, providing labor rights for gig workers, ending the state’s ban on diversity and making billionaires pay increased properties. That’s why businesses spent so much to try to make sure the results would be favorable to their bottom line. At the top of this year’s spending is Proposition 22 on Tuesday’s ballot, funded by Uber, Lyft, DoorDash and others, a measure designed to override a new state law that requires these companies’ ride-hailing and delivery drivers to be classified as employees rather than independent contractors. In this race, spending on both sides reached new heights – a record total of $202 million. While 2020’s results are not yet final, as of Wednesday afternoon, 72 percent of the estimated vote total (11.8 million votes) has been reported, and results in many of the races are clear. Late-arriving mail ballots and provisional ballots will be counted in the days and weeks after the election. Here are where the measures stand: • Proposition 14 – Medical research bonds. Passing with 51.1% “yes” votes. • Proposition 15 – Change Commercial Property Tax, failing with 51.7 “no” votes. The proposition would tax properties based on current market value rather than purchase price and increases property taxes on commercial properties for funding to local governments and schools. Though the measure is trailing, it could receive a boost from a million uncounted votes in heavily Democratic Los Angeles. • Proposition 16 - End diversity ban, failing with 56 percent “no” votes. The proposition would repeal a constitutional provision that made it unlawful for California’s state and local governments to discriminate against or grant preferential Continued on Page 10

Judge: Incarcerated Individuals Can Now Learning Black History Year-Round Apply to Receive $1,200 Stimulus Payments Robert Robinson Taylor: Master Builder By Tamara Shiloh
By Quinci LeGardye, California Black Media
The first round of economic impact payments funded by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, or the CARES Act, has been opened to a new group of Americans. Incarcerated individuals can now apply to receive their stimulus payments of up to $1200. According to a June report from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA), the IRS initially sent nearly 85,000 payments, totaling about $100 million, to incarcerated individuals. After the report raised concerns about the payments, the IRS decided that payments to incarcerated people were not allowed under the CARES Act and ordered that the payments sent should be returned. Then a class-action lawsuit was filed. Lawyers argued that denying the payments solely based on an individual’s incarcerated status was against the law. The language of the CARES
Act does not explicitly say that incarcerated individuals cannot receive payments. On Sept. 24, Judge Phyllis Hamilton of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California ordered the Treasury Department and the IRS to reverse the decision. The previously rescinded stimulus payments now have to be returned to the incarcerated individuals. On Oct. 14, Hamilton also ordered the IRS to extend the deadline for incarcerated individuals covered by the lawsuit to file
paperwork to receive the money to Nov. 4. People covered by the lawsuit who did not file a 2018 or 2019 tax return will have to submit a postmarked simplified Form 1040 paper return by Nov. 4 to receive the stimulus payment. The IRS also extended the online deadline to register for a stimulus payment for people who don’t typically file a tax return to Nov. 21. According to the IRS website, the government is working on an appeal to the decision. “The government has filed an appeal and request to stay the preliminary injunction. Any updates regarding the appeal will be posted on this webpage,” the IRS states. Under the CARES Act, stimulus payments must be made by Dec. 31. People will still have an opportunity to get the stimulus funds next year, but they won’t receive the money until they file their 2020 tax return. Information on how to help an incarcerated person file for a stimulus payment is available at caresactprisoncase.org. The website includes directions on where to mail the simplified return, as well as a sample Form 1040 with instructions on where to add the incarcerated individual’s personal corrections number to ensure payment is sent to the right place.

It was the end of summer in 1888. Robert Robinson Taylor (1868–1942) left his home in Wilmington, N.C. for Boston. His mission was to take the examination for enrollment at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. If his plans worked out, he would become the first Black student to be admitted at MIT. Back in Wilmington, however, several skeptics wondered if Taylor was wasting his time. Taylor would later write: “When it was known that I was to leave my home to study at the [MIT], many of the home people asked, ‘What is the use.’ … ‘After graduation, what? Where is the field?’” The ‘home people’ had no idea that Taylor would be MIT’s first black graduate and become the first accredited African-American architect. Taylor didn’t allow the opinions of others to blind his vision. Brimming with self-confidence, he would also become an influential member of the Tuskegee Institute faculty, and awarded an honorary doctorate from Lincoln University. By the standards of the time, Taylor’s family was relatively privileged. His father, Henry Taylor, was the son of a white

In 1850, Henry and his wife, Emily Still, the daughter of a freedman, relocated to Wilmington, where he prospered as a contractor and builder. His specialty was cargo ships. He also constructed homes and antebellum buildings. After young Robert graduated from the Gregory Normal Institute, he worked in his father’s business, mastering the rudiments of the building trade. On witnessing Robert flourish in the trade, the decision was made: he would seek a formal education at MIT’s School of Architecture, which offered the best program available. During his tenure at MIT, Taylor met and talked with Booker T. Washington. Washington had plans for Taylor
after graduation in 1892: to develop Tuskegee University’s industrial program as well as supervise on-campus construction projects. Although Taylor was interested in the offer, he didn’t formally accept it until later that year. Taylor headed several projects during his time at Tuskegee, the first being Thrasher Hall (1893). It was constructed entirely by students, using bricks made also by students under Taylor’s supervision. The project provided an example to the world of the capabilities of Blacks in the building trades. Following the Thrasher Hall project was the original Tuskegee Chapel (1895–1898); and The Oaks (1899), which served as the home of the university’s president. Taylor then went on a three-year hiatus and returned to Cleveland, where he focused on his own designs. On returning to Tuskegee, he took on the position of architect and director of mechanical industries. He also designed projects for other Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Taylor had a successful career in architecture for more than 40 years. When he died in 1942, his widow, Nellie Chestnutt Taylor, wrote: “Dr. Taylor was a man of fine character, strict integrity, progressive, of quiet mien, and one who held a fine sense of civic obligation and responsibility.”

Black Employees Say Racism is Digital Literacy and Social Engagement Rife at Cal Air Resources Board Boost Seniors’ Health and Resilience CEI Brings the Joy of Connection to Homebound Seniors During COVID-19
By Antonio Ray Harvey California Black Media
Mary Nichols, an influential California attorney known and respected in environmental policy circles across the United States, is finding herself at the center of a racial storm brewing at home. Black employees say racism is widespread at the California Air Resources Board (CARB), the organization Nichols chairs. In September, African American employees hit CARB with a 13-page letter alleging that they have been experiencing racism – widespread, routine and systemic, they point out – at the air-pollution and climate agency.

Thirteen 2020 Women’s Hall of Fame Inductees Honored By Bay City News Service
Thirteen 2020 inductees into the Annual Alameda County Women’s Hall of Fame were honored Friday during an online recognition event taking the place of the usual annual in-person celebration. The 2020 Women’s Hall of Fame Inductees are Reign Free, Business and Professions; Sonya L. Smallets, Justice; Candi Thornton-McCreary, Community Service: Jean Bjork, Non-Traditional Careers; Judith Smith, Culture and Arts; Nicole Kyauk, Philanthropy; Susan A. Cota, Education; Rashim Mogha, Science, Technology and Engineering; Nazineen Kandahari, Emerging Leader; Teri McKeever, Sports and Athletics; Fatemeh Shirazi, Environment; Valerie Cruz, Youth; and Cynthia Carey-Grant, Health. An in-person recognition dinner was scheduled for this past spring, but the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in its postponement and ultimate move to an online event. The program is co-sponsored by the Alameda County Board of Supervisors and the Alameda County Commission on the Status of Women and raises funds for local community partners supporting women and families in Alameda County. In addition, the program advocates for the academic pursuits of local girls through the Mary V. King “Leading the Way” Youth Scholarship Fund. Nominations are being accepted for the 2021 Alameda Women’s Hall of Fame at acgov.org/whof/nominations.htm.
motions, and have had to face other atrocities because of the color of their skin. The letter details discriminatory hiring practices, incidents of intimidation, low representation of Black employees, and a general lack of support. CARB, the letter alleges, has a total of 1627 employees and only 73 of them are Black. Only one African American has held an executive position with the organization. “You will find a compilation of Black stories about our experiences at CARB along with messages we received from those experiences,” CBE CARB stated in the introduction of the document. Although these stories are first person accounts of experiences, we believe that most of them apply (or have applied) to all Black employees at some point and time at CARB.” The state of California charges CARB with protecting the public from the harmful effects of air pollution and developing programs and actions to fight climate change. Founded in 1967, the Sacramento-based organization also sets air quality standards, oversee automakers’ emissions compliance, conducts research on air pollution, measures reductions of air pollutants and Continued on page 8
Loneliness is increasingly recognized as a serious risk to health and well-being. The critical need to socially isolate because of COVID-19 compounds the problem for older adults. The Center for Elders’ Independence (CEI), serving East Bay seniors with multiple health challenges, recognized that a way to reduce social isolation was to increase seniors’ digital literacy. Before the pandemic, only 10% of CEI seniors had online capability. The staff has worked tirelessly to get as many seniors online as possible to join virtual activities, socialize, and to participate in “virtual visits” with CEI doctors and staff. As a result of their efforts, CEI recently celebrated the first graduates of its digital literacy program. Partnering with teachers from Community Tech Network, CEI guided 11 seniors through a comprehensive seven-week digital training program using iPads funded through a California Public Utilities Commission grant. Seniors learned how to access Zoom activities, listen to music, and safely explore the internet. Another 30 seniors are on board to participate in the next round of training. Dolores Collins, 65, is proud to be one of the programs’ first graduates. She now spends time every day on Zoom enjoying CEI’s virtual activities and talking with friends. The longtime East Oakland resident thrives on learning new things. After 20 years of working at the Port of Oakland, Col-
Dolores Collins stays connected and engaged with daily activities on Zoom including exercise classes, live music, games, current events, and spiritual counseling provided by Center for Elders’ Independence. CEI Photo.
lins returned to college at age 40 earning a degree in Early Childhood Education. She then operated a childcare business for 10 years, teaching close to 500 preschoolers, many with special needs. She was ready for a change in 2008 and joined CEI. Unfortunately, life threw Collins a curveball when she suffered a debilitating stroke and could no longer fulfill the demands of her job. In 2014, she became the first staff member to be a CEI participant. Collins enrolled at the East Oakland PACE Center (also known as Josie Barrow Center), where she previously had served as activity director. Located at the Eastmont Town Center, CEI supports the East Oakland community, one of the neighborhoods in Alameda County hit hardest by the coro-
navirus. Collins admits the past few years have “been rough” with the deaths of family members and a second stroke. It has been made easier with the support of CEI. “They brought me a long way back to life, physically, and emotionally. CEI staff handles every possible problem or issue you might have, and they’re always only a phone call away.” Collins, who lives alone, really appreciates the many ways that CEI helps her stay connected during the pandemic. It may be through reminders for upcoming Zoom activities or check-in calls to help her stay safe and healthy, or to simply let her know she’s not forgotten. CEI “does everything” from Continued on page 8

More Muslim Americans in Bay Area Throwing Names Into Political Arena By Jana Kadah, Bay City News Foundation
More Muslim Americans are running for political office in the Bay Area than ever before, with 17 candidates seeking election at the local, state and federal level. That number represents a significant jump from the 2018 midterm elections when only one Muslim candidate ran in the Bay Area, according to data collected by the Islamic Scholarship Fund. “This is the most candidates I have ever seen, and it is so exciting,” said Sameena Usman, government relations consultant for the San Francisco Bay Area office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). “We are seeing so many more Muslims take an active role and be engaged, to have a seat at the table and not just be on the menu.” Local Muslim leaders say the reason for the increase can be expressed in three words: Pres. Donald Trump. Usman pointed to the president’s anti-Muslim rhetoric and the Muslim travel ban that restricted immigration from eight countries as factors behind significant rises in Islamophobia and hate crimes -- and, subsequently, more Muslim civic engagement. “This administration has passed so many damaging policies, and so it encouraged Muslims,” Usman said. “The community recognized that decisions are going to be made about us whether or not we are involved, so they wanted to be at the forefront of shaping those decisions.” Sunnyvale City Council candidate Omar Din cited similar reasons for his decision to run. “Like a spring, the more something gets pushed down the greater it just bounces up,” Din said. “I think the 2016 election, the Muslim [travel] ban and all the rhetoric that came with it kind of did that to our community, really galvanized it.” The 23-year-old is among the 17 Bay Area Muslim candidates. If he wins, he would be the first Muslim to serve on Sunnyvale’s City Council.

Din said he has planned to run for office from the age of 16, but it was the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the Muslim travel ban that encouraged him to run directly after graduating from Cornell University. “I believed deep down that the Supreme Court was going to reject it, that we have institutions in place to stop these outliers from occurring,” Din said. “It really made me think, wow, these institutions are not as powerful or as strong as I had thought.” The young candidate’s feelings are widely shared in the Bay Area Muslim community, Usman said, contributing to an increase in overall civic engagement. In addition to more candidates running, Muslim voter registration has increased, more volunteers have signed up to do voter outreach and part-time canvassers hired at CAIR have nearly doubled in the Bay Area. “We hired many different language speakers because we wanted to reach communities that were eager to get involved,” Usman said. “I also saw, for the first time, Muslims actively attending town halls in a consistent and coordinated way.” Usman, who has been involved in Bay Area politics for decades, said she’s never seen such eagerness for involvement by the Muslim community. “In years past, I would have said foreign policy would be the main concern, but now it’s civil rights, diversity, all the

local safety issues like health and law enforcement,” Usman said. “Muslims really began to realize that politics begins at the local level.” COVID-19 is also playing a significant part in engaging Muslim Americans, Usman said. “The community realized that we need an administration and elected officials that are going to be taking this seriously, because it is an issue of life or death.” Mona Shaiq, founder of the Muslim Democrats and Friends Club of Alameda County, said she also sees an increase in local civil engagement. “There are issues that we are facing as a community besides Islamophobia -- we feel that we should be recognized and honored in our societies,” Shaiq said. “For example, our holidays are not accepted. There are big meetings on those days ... We should be allowed to celebrate our religious holidays, our culture and everything.” Shaiq said she recognized the growing involvement when it occurred at a local level. “We did classes, and you could see that the Muslim community felt empowered,” Shaiq said. “And the elected officials started noticing us, too. Now I get calls, emails, messages from candidates all the time, they want our endorsement, they want to meet with us and learn about our issues.” Shaiq ran for the Fremont Unified School District Board in 2014 -- a time where “you would hardly hear about any Muslim running for office anywhere,” she said. “We have made a lot of progress since I ran, but I still feel that since 9/11, a lot of Muslims are laying low. They are afraid, they

don’t want to stir the pot,” Shaiq said. “That [mentality], while understandable, is not helping them at all. The more people see us, the more people know us, the more acceptance there will be in society.” The reticence many Muslim Americans feel may be attributable to the persistence -- and revival -- of anti-Muslim sentiment. Since 2016, hate crimes against Muslims in the United States have increased 74% -the most since after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers in New York, according to CAIR. But, increased civic engagement among Muslim Americans is also a nationwide trend. The three states with the most Muslim candidates are California, with 20, New Jersey with 19, and Minnesota with 17. In 2018, California had eight Muslim candidates, New Jersey had one and Minnesota had eight. Nationally, there were 80 Muslim candidates running in 2018, and this year there are 103, according to the Islamic Scholarship Fund. When asked what they would want non-Muslims to recognize about Muslim civic engagement, Usman, Din and Shaiq said the same thing: as a Muslim, any injustice toward anyone is an injustice toward all. “All issues are our issues,” Shaiq said. “Black Lives Matter is our issue, injustices are our issue, things in our criminal justice system are our issue. It doesn’t matter if Muslims are not at the receiving end of these issues. We have to raise our voices against injustice no matter what.”

It’s all toxic. Government needs to clean it up in word and deed.” Nichols later issued an apology via Twitter, stating “I apologize for speaking at the wrong time about the wrong topic.

CARB’s board, which the governor appoints and the Senate confirms, consists of 14 voting members with two lawmakers in non-voting roles. The board does not have any Asian American or African American members. “There is no doubt the letter eloquently describes a history of poor treatment, lost potential, and deep-seated pain,” Corey wrote in a memo to his
staff, according to Politico. “But, when I consider the courage it took to write and submit the letter, I have a sense of optimism as I know that change begins with the ability to openly acknowledge and discuss issues.” CBE CARB also stated that its only intent is to “shine a light on areas where CARB can improve” and asked the air pollution and climate agency to move forward and be “part of the solution.” “Our intent in sharing this Letter and Action Plan is not to shame or belittle CARB, or to assign blame.

Last month, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a law that requires publicly traded corporations who have their headquarters in California to appoint directors from “underrepresented communities” to their boards. “Underrepresented communities” are specifically identified in the law as Black, Latino, Native American, Asian American, Pacific Islander, Native Hawaiian, or Alaska Natives. Companies also have the option of appointing folks from the LGBTQ communities. Companies must have at least one person from “underrepresented communities” on their board by the end of 2021. In 2022, boards with four to nine people are required to have two members from “underrepresented communities” and boards with more than nine members must have a minimum of three people from underrepresented communities. The penalty for not complying with the racial diversity in California Corporations law is financial. The law is modeled after a 2018 law for gender diversity on the boards of California Corporations. Seventy-eight percent of the women appointed after that law went into effect were white. California is the first state to have such a law based on racial diversity. Newsom said: “[w]hen we talk about racial justice, we talk
about power and needing to have seats at the table.” After the Breonna Taylor/George Floyd/#BlackLivesMatter protests some corporations vowed to voluntarily add racial diversity to their boards. A USA Today survey found that in 50 of the largest companies in the United States, less than 2% of the top executives are Black. The Latino Corporate Directors Association study found that 87% of publicly traded companies in California have no Latinos on their boards. Of the publicly traded companies in California, 16% had at least one Black board member. Thirty-nine percent of the California population is Latinx and 5.8% are Black. The bill was co-authored by Chris Holden (D-Pasadena) who said: “[t]he new law represents a big step forward for racial equity. While some corporations were already leading the way to combat implicit bias, now, all of California’s corporate boards will better reflect the diversity of our state.” Assemblymember Cristina Garcia (D-Bell Garden) added via Twitter: “[w]e need more diversity in corporate America. . . Gov. Newsom’s signature helps bust open the door for many qualified folks.” Apple, Google, Salesforce, Chevron, Wells Fargo, PayPal, Gap, Visa, Netflix, Clorox, Uber, and Facebook are all based in California.

In-Person Instruction at Schools Increasing in Districts
By Louis Freedberg and Alexander Montero, EdSource
California school districts are showing a clear momentum toward reopening for some version of in-person instruction. That’s according to an EdSource survey of the 58 county offices of education. In the nation’s largest school system, the survey shows that children are learning through a patchwork of instructional strategies that continue to be shaped in profound ways by the coronavirus pandemic. In 21 of the state’s 58 counties, all school districts are either currently offering some form of in-person instruction for students, or are planning to do so within days or weeks. In almost all cases, parents and students have the option of continuing to receive instruction remotely from their homes. Nearly all of these counties are in largely rural areas in Central and Northern California, with Orange County and San Diego County the most significant exceptions. With nearly 500,000 students, Orange County is the site of the biggest launch of in-person instruction. All but two of the county’s 27 districts are either currently offering some form of in-person instruction to some or all of their students, or plan to do so soon. In 17 counties, all or most districts are sticking to teaching students principally via
Dr. Erica Pan, the acting state health officer
distance learning. Of these districts, many are shooting to bring students back to school in January, or at least leaving open that possibility. In the remaining 20 counties, there is a mixture of instructional approaches depending on the district, with some teaching students remotely, and others providing face-to-face instruction. In addition, as a result of guidance issued by the state in August, many schools throughout the state have been offering in-person classes or other support services on school campuses for small groups of special education students and others with special needs like foster or homeless students. Although it is ultimately up to districts to decide on their own what to do, the state appears to be nudging schools to offer in-person instruction, not just for students with special needs but for students attending regular classes as well. “Schools should absolutely reopen,” said Dr. Erica Pan, the acting state health officer at a hearing in Sacramento on Tues-
day of the education subcommittee of the Assembly Budget Committee. She suggested that they do so gradually, starting with the youngest children who are the least likely to carry the virus, or to become seriously ill from it. What must be balanced, she said, is the risk of transmission of the COVID-19 disease with learning loss that may result from students learning at home. Pan said that only two school-related outbreaks of the disease have been reported to state health authorities, with a total of 17 positive cases. “That has been very encouraging given the number of schools that have already started to reopen,” she said, without giving any details of the schools or cases. On October 30, Gov. Gavin Newsom weighed in on the issue as well. “We absolutely believe that the social-emotional learning that occurs in the classroom is the best place for our kids, certainly the best place for their parents as well,” he said, as reported by Politico. “And so it is absolutely
It’s Time to Review Your Medicare Coverage By Seema Verma
Medicare’s annual Open Enrollment season is underway, and I want to encourage all people with Medicare to review their current health and prescription drug coverage. Medicare Advantage plan premiums have fallen to historic lows, dropping an average of 34% over the last three years. Many plans are offering a new insulin benefit that limits the maximum cost to $35 for a 30-day supply. By shopping around, you may be able to save money and find a plan that better meets your needs. Open Enrollment runs through December 7 each year. This is the time when you can change your Medicare health or drug coverage for the following year. You can switch to Original Medicare, or join or change a Medicare Advantage plan or Part D prescription drug plan. Any new coverage you select takes effect Jan. 1, 2021. Our updated Medicare Plan Finder (www.Medicare.gov/ plan-compare) can help you compare the prices and benefits of Medicare Advantage plans, Original Medicare, Medicare drug plans, and Medigap policies. This mobile-friendly tool works on smart phones, tablets, and desktop computers. Many Medicare drug plans and Medicare Advantage plans that include drug coverage are participating in a new insulin savings initiative. There are important differences between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage. Here’s a brief summary: Original Medicare With Original Medicare, you can go to any doctor or hospital that accepts Medicare, anywhere in the U.S. In most cases, you don’t need a referral to see a specialist. For services covered under
Seema Verma
Medicare Part B, you usually pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount after you meet your deductible. You also pay a monthly premium for Part B. If you choose to join a Part D drug plan, you’ll pay an additional monthly premium. There’s no yearly limit on what you pay out-of-pocket, unless you have supplemental coverage, such as Medicare Supplement Insurance, also known as Medigap. Medigap can help pay your remaining out-of-pocket costs (like your 20% coinsurance). Or you can use coverage from a former employer or union, or Medicaid. Original Medicare covers most medically necessary services and supplies in hospitals, doctors’ offices, and other health care settings. It doesn’t cover some benefits, including vision and most dental care. Medicare Advantage Medicare Advantage Plans are offered by private insurers that provide your Medicare Part A and B benefits, in many cases through a managed network, similar to an HMO. In many cases, you’ll need to use doctors and other providers in the plan’s network and service area to get the lowest out-of-pocket costs. You may need to get a re-
ferral to see a specialist, even if the specialist is in your plan’s network. Out-of-pocket costs for Medicare Advantage vary, and plans may have lower out-of-pocket costs for certain services. You may have to pay a monthly plan premium in addition to your monthly Part B premium. Some plans may have a $0 premium or may help pay all or part of your Part B premiums. Plans have a yearly limit on what you pay out-ofpocket for services covered under Medicare Part A and Part B. Once you reach your plan’s limit, you pay nothing for services covered by Part A and Part B for the rest of the year. Plans must cover all medically necessary services that Original Medicare covers. Most plans offer extra benefits that Original Medicare doesn’t cover, such as some vision, hearing, dental, benefits, as well as adult day health services, caregiver support, in-home support, and home-based palliative care. In some cases, you have to get a service or item approved ahead of time for the plan to cover it. If you’d like free, personalized counseling on what Medicare options are right for you, call the nonprofit State Health Insurance and Assistance Program, or SHIP. To find the SHIP program in your state, go to https://www.shiptacenter. org. Or call us at 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227).

incumbent to do everything in our power to provide support to our districts so that they can safely reopen, emphasis on safely reopen.” But accelerating the pace of returning to school is raising deep concerns among some lawmakers who worry that districts do not have the ability or resources to test students and staff for the virus, to do contact tracing or to adequately follow all the other complex health guidelines. As larger districts start to open, said Assemblyman Kevin McCarty, D-Sacramento, chair of the subcommittee at Tuesday’s hearing, “it could go wrong really fast. We need to make sure we don’t have an ‘oops’ six months down the road. We have to make sure we are ready.” Many of the state’s largest districts, which are mostly in urban areas, are sticking with distance learning for now. The return to school for inperson instruction has been made possible because of improved conditions related to the pandemic in California, although positive cases have been ticking up in recent days. Under a color-coded monitoring system announced by Newsom in August, districts are allowed to offer in-person instruction for regular classes only once conditions in their counties have improved, and the county is no longer on the “purple” Tier One list. When schools opened in August, 48 out of 58 counties were on that list. That meant that 5.3 million, or 87%, of California’s students, attended schools prohibited from opening for in-person instruction.

State’s Prop 22 Passes, Drivers Appear to Be Staying Independent Contractors By Keith Burbank Bay City News Service
Drivers for app-based companies like Uber, Lyft and DoorDash will likely remain independent contractors in California after the state’s votersapproved Proposition 22, according to unofficial elections results Tuesdaynight. About 58 percent of voters said “yes” to Prop 22, which classifiesdrivers as contractors rather than employees, who typically receive morebenefits than contractors. Uber, Lyft, and DoorDash supported the measure, while labor organizations, teachers and firefighters opposed the measure. As of early Wednesday morning, 82.6 percent of precincts had atmleast partially reported, according to the California Secretary of State’s office. Results will be final no later than Dec. 11. Drivers for app-based companies get some benefits as contractors, according to the measure, including 120 percent of the local minimum
wage for each hour they drive, excluding time spent waiting. For drivers who typically work more than 15 hours per week, app-based companies would provide help with health insurance. Prop 22 also requires app-based companies to pay medical costs and cover some lost income if a driver suffers an injury on the job. And it limits drivers to no more than 12 hours working in a 24-hour period for a single app-based firm. California recently enacted a law limiting businesses ability to hire independent contractors. Prop 22 removes those limits from drivers for ride-hailing and delivery companies.

$735 Million School Bond Almost Sure To Pass, Early Election Results Show By Keith Burbank Bay City News Service
Students and staff in Oakland Unified School District schools may soon see improvements at their campuses following the approval by voters Tuesday of Measure Y, early election results show. More than 77 percent of voters said ‘yes’ to the measure, which allows the district to issue $735 million in bonds to pay for the improvements. About 23 percent of voters said ‘no’ to the measure. The funds will mean our team will be able to address overdue issues at numerous schools and facilities, including partial or complete rebuilding of sites, adding new kitchens or multipurpose rooms and district wide technology improvements, OUSD Superintendent Kyla Johnson-Trammel said in a letter Wednesday to the school com-

munity. The bonds will increase annual taxes for the average homeowner by about $60 per $100,000 in assessed value of their home. That’s estimated
to raise $48.5 million a year for 30 years. In total, it will cost taxpayers $1.455 billion for the repairs because of the $720 million in finance charges
that will have to be paid on the bonds. For that reason and others, the Alameda County Taxpayers Association argued vehemently against Measure Y. Members of the association said parcel taxes are a better way to finance minor improvements, while bonds should be used to pay for large projects such as new schools. But proponents said that the money will be spent on major repairs to fix deteriorating classrooms, bathrooms, plumbing, potentially faulty electrical systems, heating and air conditioning and leaky roofs. It is also expected to be used to upgrade technology for distance learning and revamp classrooms and facilities to help keep children socially distanced during times of pandemic, proponents said.
Fines For Illegal Dumping Likely to Rise Following Passage of Measure RR By Keith Burbank Bay City News Service
Oaklanders will likely face a higher penalty for illegal dumping and other code violations following voter approval of the city’s Measure RR Tuesday, final unofficial election results show. Measure RR removes the city’s limit of $1,000 for illegal dumping that has been in existence since 1968. The measure did not establish a new limit. That will be done by the City Council following a public hearing. Councilmembers placed the measure on the ballot and it passed with 59.7 percent of the vote after requiring just a majority to pass.
“Illegal dumpers and other code violators regularly break the law with impunity knowing that the financial consequences of violating the law
are limited,” proponents argued in support of the measure. Opposed to the measure was the Alameda County Taxpayers Association, which argued
that the measure will allow unlimited fines. They argued that the city should instead create a plan for ending illegal dumping.
As of Thursday, Kaplan has 49.72 percent of the vote, compared with challengers Derrick Johnson’s 42.85 percent. Nancy Sidebotham won 7.43 percent of the vote. Seeking a last-minute bump for her candidate, Mayor Schaaf showed up at a Fruitvale District polling place Tuesday morning , brandishing a poster and campaigning for Kaplan’s opponent. In District 1, Dan Kalb has defeated a well-funded campaign to unseat him, beating Steph Dominguez Walton 54.21 percent to 30.69 percent. Noel Gallo in District 5 headed off the challenges of two progressive activists, winning 52.91 percent of the vote. Richard Santos Raya came in second with 30.51 percent of the vote. In District 7, newcomer Treva Reid, is leading with
36.83 percent of the vote. Her closest challenger, Robert Bob Jackson, has 24.44 percent of the vote. In school board races, progressives and pro-community advocates have had the backing of the local teachers’ union. For the first time , local volunteer efforts appear to be preventing national corporate privatizers, who have poured as much a million dollars into the campaigns, from assuring the election of a Board of Education that would continue to close schools and decrease the funding for children and programs. In District 1, community advocate Sam Davis leads with 47.04 percent, ahead of privatizer-backed Austin Dannhaus with 35.06 percent of the vote. Progressive newcomer Stacy Thomas won 17.90 percent of the vote.
In District 3, VanCedric Williams is ahead with 38.05 percent of the vote. Privatizerbacked Maiya Edgerly stands at 26.48 percent. A newcomer to the political scene, parent advocate and activist Cherise Gash received 18.44 percent of the vote. District 5 candidate Mike Hutchinson is ahead with 40.72 percent of the vote. His privatizer backed opponent, Leroy Roches Gaines, has 30.72 percent of the vote. The District 7 school board race is close. Clifford Thompson, backed by privatizer funding, is leading with 29.66 percent of the vote. Only slightly behind is Ben “Coach” Tapscott with 28.01 percent of the vote. Kristina Molina is in third place in District 7 with 19.65 percent of the vote.

It looks as if 16- and 17-year-old students in Oakland schoolswill have a voice when it comes time to elect school board members, accordingto unofficial election results late Tuesday night. Measure QQ, which was
passing by a wide margin, gives them a voice provided the City Council adopts an ordinance allowing it. Proponents of the measure were leading 67 percent to about 33 percent, unofficial results from the Alameda County Registrar of Voters showed late Tuesday night. A simple majority is required for the
measure to pass. Before Election Day, Keith Brown, president of the Oakland Education Association, which represents teachers and staff in the school district, said that school board decisions impact students’ education and their futures. The association supported
the measure, which was the brainchild of students. Before Tuesday’s election, all City Council members were in support of Measure QQ. No opposing argument was submitted to the Registrar of Voters before Election Day.
