" nobody's opposed the idea of cancer research in pact taxpayers spend billions of dollars the national as to to develop lung cancer research. our problem with that proposition is it's another case of a special interest the big budget pet project.

the ballot measure that ultimately walking the budget u.s. slice of the tax funds raised to a group of ninth elected people to spend as they see that on cancer research in this revolving fund that could be as much as a billion dollars a year. we're getting control to an unelected group in this fund every year. california were facing the fifth $16 bill and $16 billion budget deficit shouldn't look at things like the cuts to our health care system when the health and human services may have lost $4 billion last few years and education 20 billion doesn't cut trees that the. list with your first point. the question about special- interest one of the main criticisms right now people against proposition 29 same the whole thing is funded by tobacco companies. representing a special an

interest group called the taxpayers. receiving funding from this and the one side proponents from tobacco companies and opposition from groups like ours representing taxpayers don't that it's a good idea because of the ballot box budgeting issue. i know people there even were against tobacco and the idea that taxes appealing to them that they are concerned about where the money goes. hearsay would necessarily be opposed it point to a general fund used? frankly it's more about how all the money is being allocated in who's controlling the money. before killing control this way to a nine member collective boredom in this revolving fund of the years so be blintz dollars fidelity this with the tax revenue should be spent.

they need to have the flexibility to spend that when they prioritize at any given time. in this measure better than nothing not affecting a lot of people but why not? why not do it rather than having nothing the tax or find it if you played out with a record defined ultimately to change behavior. return to attacks sugar and fast food and unhealthy sexual behavior to pay for us to do research you cannot go on in honor of things that we can tax that may unhealthy but doing a lot, to impose fines and behavior to taxes and fines. i am against that. there are several problems with

that on a number of fronts. when the idea of the tax to the with a thin is going and three because you don't like the idea of trying to control people's behavior to the government. the the point is 7 and comes with the sun where the money can be spent. it for quite takes in tax revenue almost a billion notion the california economy has said a portion of that even of the country the offer of this bill said last week we're verdict and a wailing can be spent at some of the state and even outside the country. its going to be the battle fight of this election. talking about $60 million from both sides going into this. the talk of this media with the campaign in support of proposition 29 coming up the next half-hour. bitten also all lotus about

headline, a very deep partial solar eclipse that is happening later today, it is the deepest solar eclipse in the u.s. in 17 years and there will be maximum eclipse at 630 3:00 p.m. tonight. we will cover it live on cbs five. do not look at it directly. you need to use eye protection or use the pin hole in the paper trick but this is literally a blinding site so you will want to be careful about using high protection but it will be a beautiful sight. it will look like a crescent moon through protective lands. it will be memorable and the deepest part is that 633 tonight. we will have pretty good conditions, mostly sunny and the potential for a few clouds along the coast especially later in the day so if you want to assure

through the end of the week, on thursday and friday of low pressure comes out of the gulf and really cool is less down and there is even a chance of rain in about six days. in the meantime it looks like a pretty nice sunday more >> california voters will decide on june 5th whether to increase cigarette taxes by $1 per pack >> it would raise roughly $800 million per year but some of the money would be going out of state? we put that question to re grosso who chairs california advocacy task force. >> if you read the document on page 2 it says clearly, the research, the efficacy, the public education will happen right here in california >> but didn't he put the campaign together say that it could go out and there was no boundary? >> they're following national

institutes of health protocols which say that yes, it should go to the most meritorious place, but, the panel that will control these funds is made up of chancellors of university of california schools and clearly, the intent of the measure is to make sure that all that money stays here and those chancellor's as well as organizations like the american heart association will make very sure it stays here >> but the bottom line is it could go out of state >> possibly >> the other thing here is to try to stop people from smoking and you guys have thrown out some statistics that would stop some 200,000 young people from smoking, isn't that obviously conjecture? >> no it isn't. the federal government just issued a national study tracking the relationship between cost of smoking and prevalence of smoking. the figures are absolutely irrefutable. if you raise the cost of

smoking, consumption goes down, particularly among kids. kids want videogames and expensive shoes, when the price of smoking goes up they stop and think they really want to spend all their money on cigarettes. >> speaking of choices, i speak to people on the street all the time and a lot of them are in support of the idea of a sin tax and raising the price of cigarettes to reduce smoking but the question they have is, but why doesn't the money go for treatment of people who have a smoking problems? to help offset the rising health-care cost as opposed to research? >> we think that research will help find the cure for many of the diseases that smokers suffer from. our hospitals are full of them right now and it cost the health-care system over $5 billion per year to take care of

those people >> but you can care smoking by people not smoking. that is how we can hear people from getting smoking-related diseases. is this creating a fund for organizations like the cancer society's and such views are like stem cell research, in other words, the research pot of money in a time when the state could use it for either prevention or treatment of people who already have smoking problems >> none of the research money goes to the american heart association or cancer society or any other supporters of prop 29. it goes to university researchers, scientists and doctors. second, you can treat the disease all you want but if you don't find a way to stop it before it starts, you are doomed to spend billions and billions of dollars into eternity curing, treating, helping people who are

already sick and many of whom will die regardless of the treatment >> we have seen a lot of ads on the sea shoe but more on the anti proposition 29 campaign. a lot of money is being poured in by tobacco companies. >> this absolutely concerns us. we have come up with $4 million but the tobacco industry has already spent $40 million and by the time it is all over their expenditure will probably be between 80-$100 million so we are outgunned by a huge margin >> i was talking with the other side, they said that the tobacco industry will outspend them tremendously but if they got money and put their ads that it could be dead even. >> we will see. >> a boom or bust in silicon valley >> two different pictures this

week with facebook and hewlett- packard. we will

>> another status update heard round the world >> mark zuckerberg posted in listed company on nasdaq and with a flip of the switch at the headquarters, the social network did go public. this week, a paradox for silicon valley giants. we saw facebook exploding with its public offering but at the same time we got word that hewlett-packard may be laying off between 25 and 30,000 people worldwide. we turn to former mayor willie brown and cnet editor bryan cooley and we ask what kind of economic model is this >> part of what is happening is a changing of the garden technology. hewlett-packard is a tangible

technology company. we know what they do. we understand they are eight the company. i would almost argue that facebook is not a tech company. they are a market maker. advertisers want into their network of connections. it is much more amorphous than what hewlett-packard does, which is more stable and tangible >> effect on the economy, hewlett-packard make something, it has a factory. apple make something. but these other things are ideas and they don't necessarily translate into the long term jobs and buildings of the older economy >> how to structure in that possibility for budget purposes because we need some stability on predictability for revenue

purposes in order to score in it and you cannot exactly do that when today it is $30 per share and tomorrow as indicated earlier it might be 17 >> what does this say about where we are headed? the transition from computer factories to idea factory >> another thing about the asset value is when you build factories and major infrastructure you know it is there for awhile. look at all the facebook millionaires that will be minted. employees who within three or six months will be free to start shelling their shares and take enormous gains and ask what is next? a big brain drain which could be an out-of-state brain drain. if a big opportunity is out of california they will take their money and leave. >> you notice with the prospect

of what they are about to do, there are no protests. in the old days we would have been raising hell about the loss of a factory and what will do to our school district and what will do to small businesses. that is not the case in this new world >> coming up, a new look at this morning's top stories >> including the bay to breakers in san francisco.

>> the moon will pass in front of the sun creating the solar eclipse known as the ring of fire. it happens at 632 this evening but do not look at it with the naked guy. the best way to watch is with a welder's masks or a pin hold york. look at these new additions to the palace of fine arts. six babies wants attached on thursday. the mother and father brought out their babies to show them off on friday. they're awfully cute. >> you are asked to keep your distance from the new arrivals. >> thanks for joining us today. we will be back on cbs 5730 next sunday morning. enjoy the week ahead.
