until it's read and to comply with state law fighting billionaires is never easy. this is just minor setback. alexander marks with the teachers union schools over stadium says the ruling means the measure won't appear on this november's ballot because now there are only 44 days left to rewrite the petition and then collect the 102,000 signatures with no state elections in 2025. that means the next chance for a public vote is november of 2026. but schools over stadiums remains undeterred. this still remains incredibly unpopular locally. it's still under water. 20%. >> you know, preventing the teachers from going out there to ensure every student has a high-quality public education is probably not going help with their polling either. but, you know, we we remain committed to try and help fix the misguided priorities of the state. so not much has really changed. in a statement, the attorney who represents the coalition opposing the ballot measure, which includes the a's, was pleased with the ruling saying all nevadans have a right to

participate in direct democracy, but they need to observe the laws that require properly informing the voters of a proposal. this measure failed to do that. all they did was delay if they were hoping for a quick decision and calling it a day and saying that they want that's not what they got today as part of a 2 pronged attack, schools over stadiums sued the state of nevada saying the passage of that funding measure violates nevada state constitution. that case is yet to come to trial. dan kerman kron, 4 news. >> all right. we're looking outside here. which cameras, this friends. this is one creek so we can see what's going on in the east bay right now, looking out towards them. that's traffic. there's traffic people trying to get out and about on this mp in the east bay. traffic never happens. part the weather center. what's going on? you've got the fog there that i do just yes, and we're going to see more of that tonight. do the same kind of program again tomorrow morning. live shot coming in here
