introduced by senator scott wiener. this bill is meant to close a legal loophole he says makes it more difficult to prosecute car break-in. thieves under existing law, prosecutors are required to prove that the car was locked and forcibly entered without permission. so that means that victims have to come in to testify, which wiener says can be an undue burden, particularly but for victims who don't live in san francisco, the bill now heads to the assembly floor. democratic leaders at the state capitol. they are doubling down on their plan to kill some of their own retail theft bills that if voters approve a november ballot measure to reform prop 47. this comes as newly leaked emails out of governor newsom's office show. he is open to a prop. 47 reform. >> does not this year our capitol correspondent eytan wallace reports. >> it's borderline corrupt republican assembly member kate sanchez not holding back how she feels about a plan from legislative democratic

leaders to cancel several the legislature's bipartisan retail theft bills. if voters approve a ballot measure to reform prop 47 during the upcoming election prop 47 is the 2014 voters approved the law that changed certain nonviolent crimes from felonies to misdemeanors and loosens penalties for offenses like retail theft. when the items stolen are valued at less than $950. supporters say prop 47 resulted in criminal justice reform and reduced the california prison population. but opponents argue and let criminals off the hook. democratic leaders in the legislature argued the issue of retail theft can be addressed without reforming prop. 47. that's why they're back in more than a dozen bills they say will tackle retail theft without touching prop. 47, including one bill to increase penalties for thieves who steal property with the intent to resell it and another to make heartbreaking thefts, punishable up to 3 years in county jail. but democratic leaders are now adding amendments to those bills that would cancel voters reform prop 47 this november.

republicans say those amendments are part of dirty politics. truly unfortunate. you turned what could have been a bipartisan accomplishment into political gamesmanship. but as of now, a majority of legislative democrats disagree their bills and their words but do far more. >> help us prosecute in and organized retail theft and anything in that initiative. it all comes as these leaked the emails from governor gavin newsom's office shows he's open to a ballot initiative to reform prop. 47 just not now in the email exchange between the reform prop 47 initiative co-chair greg totten and the governor's chief of staff, dana williamson williamson writes as far as an initiative, we are open to something in twenty-twenty 6 as well as providing all the necessary bells and whistles to make a deal. rock solid thoughts in response. our focus is on amending prop. 47 on the 2024 ballot this necessary policy change is simply too urgent to wait. another 2 years. williams and

then says it's really amazing your incapable of taking a win. >> and the consultants you're working with have not won anything in a decade. good luck in point of personal privilege. it's really rude that you agreed to a meeting and then backed out and did not reply. this is why no one wants to work with you in response to all of that. newsom spokesperson said this, quote, we regularly engage with a diverse range of stakeholders from across the political spectrum. the california district attorneys association requested a meeting with our office and later canceled. republicans not buying >> embarrassed me that the state of california's chief executive would be acting this che mine. >> and as for the retail legislation, despite republican outcry, democrats have now formally added the amendments in question to most of those bills. they now advance to the assembly and senate floors for a full vote reporting at the state tom wallace kron 4 news. our weather time here as we get a live look from the top of mount tam where you see that

fog has made its way back into the bay today. >> you know, we could use all the help. we can get. those firefighters need the moisture in the air that, yeah, to kind of died down. but yes, it's going to be hot and they made some progress in some of the fires. and that's because of the improved weather conditions around much of the state to get that surge of that low cloud deck onshore. really? that just helps out so much. you're seeing that moisture content. really sore went from almost desert-like. a couple days goes down all the way to about 4% over 90% in some cases around the bay area. late night early morning. hours now. so that fog moving on shore. that is a great sight to in around the fires. the winds becoming mix. now you see some of the onshore flow. then you start to see the wind kind of spiral around making its way up the valley here. and so you see that fire burned in a different direction. the sites fire, they're pushing some of that smoke away from the bay area today. and that's where the air quality improved as well. also, you can see right there, skaggs the winds kind of picking up again in the afternoon, getting gusty spots. so sometime these fires

can but the wind's actually pushing some of the fire conditions back on the burner area itself. and that's a pretty good news, too. as you see that fire moving back toward the places that have already been affected by the burn, it can burn anymore out there right now. overall, we've seen a pretty impressive onshore wind and that seabreeze bring with that. that moisture and low clouds and the fog overnight tonight. tomorrow morning, things calm down. but then as we head toward the afternoon, again, the winds will pick up and now we pick up in the afternoon, the fires come running. and even though that's a westerly wind and a moist when the fires can get a little active out there. as you start to see an increase in those winds now, humidity. this is really been the hero so far over the last couple of days. now that moisture really coming up across the board and overnight tonight, boy, it is going to be damp enough. you can see along the 100%. that's why we're talking about some drizzle on the coastline. but you get up in and around the fires. now you're starting to 95% in santa rosa. and that's just tremendous. now that is going to back off by tomorrow afternoon. but that's going help firefighters overnight tonight. so the next couple days, hopefully they can get a handle on these fires are

going heat things up as we head toward the weekend. high pressure taking over and guess what? we've got heat advisories going up in the central valley. temperatures are going to be the 90's in the triple digits as we head toward the weekend. thank you, lawrence. well, the month of june doesn't just offer a time to celebrate lgbtq rights today. >> the nation also recognized juneteenth. our kron 4 noelle bellow takes us to pinole where the city's youngest mayor. >> used his unique perspective to create a celebration highlighting both events. >> if you want to get to know someone, they say you should take a walk in their shoes are in devon murphy's case. just take a walk alongside is any support. so many things every little gathering the city that we go to very personal mean he he knows my name in 2023. murphy became the youngest mayor in pinole's 120 year. history being sworn in at just 29 years old. he was also the city's first black and openly

mayor. >> was there ever a point where you felt discouraged you're like you couldn't do this. the short answer is absolutely. was very difficult to understand how folks received money. and so as i was trying to build approval as most elected to want to do, i also have to recognize that, you know, i am who i and i was going to no matter what some people, but hopefully make a lot of people happier and make lives better. >> one of the ways he looked to make lives better was to create space for community empowerment. under his direction. the city launched a dual pride and juneteenth celebration now in its second year. >> it's about recognizing the historic significance of both events. kind of my purpose is to create spaces like it could be perhaps because i, you know, sit on intersections of identities. but i also frankly

think that's just in game. >> being the first leader of the city to tick off. so many boxes wasn't new for murphy. he was also the first openly and black student body president at his alma mater, ucla. but just because he'd been the first before doesn't mean it was always comfortable. >> as mayor, i you know, what's in meetings with, you know, all mayors contra costa monthly, right. and most of those mayors certainly weren't my age most. mayor didn't look like i didn't have backgrounds very differently than i do. >> those differences only emboldened murphy to do more for his community, crediting his mother for influencing his passion for public service, seeing her work and social welfare and uplifting our city in our community inspired me to not just want to do that, but make systemic changes. murphy remains on city council and is currently mayor emeritus in pinole. his true passion is to create clean economy initiatives. one day, i hope that everybody normal have solar. hope to have

storage. >> for that's solar. and i hope that they feel that that is going to empower them to be better neighbors to talk. >> murphy joins this walking group regularly to connect with those. he represents. he says he simply wants people to feel like democracy is working for them. >> i want them to recognize that they're seen and that they're heard and that i may not know everything about their community, but i listen and i'm willing green. they're back down cultures. there he their understanding of the world into policy in pinole, noelle bellow. >> kron 4 news. still ahead in sports, how the cubs honored willie mays and what we learned about. >> the warriors and gp 2 today.
