say that it gives people more choice a potentially collect more moderates to office and my own research suggests that the second part may not be as large in effect is what people might want to see but we might have a few more moderate some we have previously. areas from cupertino to san jose a former republican is running as an independent because the democratic incumbent. the republicans are on the ballot proposition porting will break out what he says the stagnant state legislature. treating the presentation back to the neighborhoods and away from party bosses in sacramento and special interests. that could have a tough fight against the assemblyman known for banning shark fin soup in california spoke with us from sacramento and says his advantages experience. a balance the budget through in a half years

straight and it it's been very difficult budgets. he says that it actually hurts everyone. a lot of races where both the same party members will go on to november competing with the same philosophical million in november and so that's a disadvantage for democracy. that is the big question what is the impact of the open primary. it gives people more choices used to be that if you won the democratic primary say in june and you had a lock on it in november because the districts were overwhelmingly democratic this time two democrats can face-off but each other over different topics and have to release talk about things more for a couple more months and a big that's bad for democracy debate is good. hearing more about that talking about whether or not there will be noticeable effects.

a coup and shake things that nobody really knows exactly what kind of happen because some of the races there so many candidates and same party and makes it hard to predict. the first question is why? voters passed the initial in 2010 that led to this boat would the benefit? the advocates say it's going to give you a lot more choice collecting more moderates to office and i think that is likely to happen to some extent they may not as much as some people might hope it would but it certainly will give people a lot more choices. it does change the equation going in the past the to the various so predominate democratic all you have to do if you were an incumbent or had the blessing of the party is when the primary and in the november election was a conclusion either going to congress sacramento but this could change that because you could have two democrats for example the would have to face

off again to the idea of winning the primary doesn't make it a done deal. but rather many viable contenders coming out there to opposing accompaniments are doing a matchups between two and four new seats. there are a couple of matchups and congressional races down a los angeles then there's a number of places where he likely to seek to convert it to the same party in the fall if for no other reason there's a leak and its of the one-party running in the primary. again the system advances the to canada to get the most votes regardless of party. how did think it will affect voter turnout of its april when its stock would have much of an effect and the glut of voters either remember the past two years ago. the prospect of higher turn out to is unlikely. the one thing is in the past few would decline to state or

independent voter you had actively choose to be in the party primary if the let to the night participate by default cited there's going to be a boost in primary voting among independents for that reason alone. grill also changes the equation come november because if you have a super liberal democrat running an incumbent like the east a longtime congressman democratic district and they also changed the to strickland's with more republicans in his district and a more moderate deponent coming in and says if he just makes it into the round to weaken may be attacked the republican voters and it completely changes the equation. that's what people are hoping when they say will elect were moderates they are hoping that one candidate especially if it's the same party contest in the fall that one can it can pitch to the base and the other can pitch to the other side to

the partisans on the other side or to independents are moderate to their own party. this is tough to see whether that happens or not. if you look at how it's played out in other states adopted similar reforms it hasn't had a huge effect but when california had a similar kind of measure 10 or 15 years ago and also allow voters to vote for whoever they wanted to the primary regardless of party. there was a little boost to the number of moderate to elected but nothing huge so might be something that bill to overtime. next in sports pictures to the rescue for the bay area teams. meet the mini monday 8 year-old darling of the art world up next.

budget and in may they say the numbers are not working. what went south this time? >> there are a number of assumptions the governor made in last year's budget that he thought he would in fact be able to get the savings but unfortunately the court said no, the fed said no and some of the program cuts he was anticipating did not happen so those turnarounds caused him to have to look again at his particular budget. the economy is still stalled, we're not getting the revenues we had expected based on the april 15th income-tax so those are the combination of things that happen >> so he will go up tomorrow and say we have a problem and we need more immediate cuts and he will urge california voters to pass his tax plan. let's go with the immediate cuts. is there a stomach for more

cuts? >> there is not because there have been cuts upon cuts over the years particularly in public education where we are now 47 thing funding. 46 states in the country do better than california. the reality is we need to find ways to balance this budget so it will be tough discussions and within our own caucus we have been talking about different scenarios and now we need to add even more scenarios because we are operating on maybe nine or $10 billion short and now it is 16 billion short. >> the governor is going to ask that the numbers he expects to get in if the tax passes to be included in the budget, he wants to have an optimistic look and if the voters say no, he wants to trigger is where there will be future cuts in place but they

won't go off. that tax is only pulling at 50-50 at best, so are we going into another fantasy world? >> between now and november, all of us will be rather aggressive in talking about the importance of the governor's tax measure. one of the most important elements within the tax measure is that the revenue in fact will go towards the general fund and fixed some of the structural deficit within the budget. >> that is one of the biggest drawbacks that it does not go straight to education. speaking of that, this week after you and other senators took a very public stand, the cal state trustees voted to limit the pay raises of, or freeze the pay rates of incoming presidents but they allowed an option that said private foundations can make up the difference.
