6:10 pm
coverage, and would pay the same amount as healthier people. under obamacare, if you opted out, you would pay a penalty. and that would go away under this new bill. now, we are going to see cuts in medicaid funding, and only if you make less money will you qualify for those subsidies. i tell you, so far, it's not a popular bill. at a rally at san francisco general, doctors and nurses said the proposed senate republican health care bill would hurt the poor the most. >> i think the consequences of the proposed legislation is going to be dramatic reductions in the number of people that can access to medicaid. >> reporter: right now medicaid receives extra federal funds. but under the proposed senate bill, funding would start phasing out. and by 2024, it would be restored to what it was before obamacare. >> we have costs overruns. unless everyone in america is
6:11 pm
willing to pay another tax, we have to find a way to save money in the system. >> reporter: under the senate bill, only those earning up to 350% of the poverty level would qualify. under obamacare, it's 400%. so what does that mean? it means that someone earning 351% of poverty is probably receiving more than $5,000 a year in subsidies. under the senate bill, that g away. >> so less care, less people covered, and for more meager benefits. >> reporter: the proposed senate bill would also eliminate taxes on the wealthy. in other words, under obamacare, anyone earning $200,000 or more a year pays an extra tax that helps fund health care. that extra tax would now be gone. republicans can only afford to lose two gop senators in order for it to pass. in san francisco, leeann melendez, abc 7 news. there are big changes coming

6:19 pm
pushing out over the bay through the golden gate. 63 degrees right now in san francisco. oakland 73. 76 in mountain view. mid-80s in san jose. another view of the finger of fog pushing o over the bay from the mount tam camera. it's 80 degrees in santa rosa right now. napa 81. 84 in novato. we have mid to upper 90s at fairfield, concord and livermore. inland areas are a bit slow to cool down, but they are cooling down. here's how it looks at the golden gate right now. foggy near the coast overnight. we'll see intense heat easing up a bit tomorrow and the cooling continues this weekend and into next week. meanwhile, from 9:00 tonight to 9:00 tomorrow night, a heat advisory will remain in effect for all this area in orange here. basically that's the entire bay area away from the coast and the coastal mountain range. so we haven't lost the effect of the heat yet. overnight, look for mostly clear skies inland and over the bay. low temperatures there will drop into the upper 50s to mid-60s.

6:29 pm
we don't have a size estimate on this fire yet. we will continue to keep an eye on this, of course, and we'll update you live on tv and through the abc 7 news app. drone view 7 flies over a controversial freeway project that cal trans repeatedly claimed cost $300 million. but it actually cost $460 million to build. that is 50% higher than what the agency repeatedly told the public. >> we've been investigating major problems with the willits bypass for four years. >> in a report you'll see only on abc 7, a look at how hard it can be to find out how your tax money is being spent. were you hiding the real cost of this project? >> no, we were not hiding the cost. >> that's what cal trans spokesman phil frisbee said, but documents obtained by abc 7 news, they've been giving out the wrong cost figures for years. the new freeway opened in november of 2016.
6:30 pm
you can see it here from drone view 7. six miles of freeway, and big interchanges designed to route cars and trucks around a traffic boughtneck in the tiny town of willits. the project divided the community. >> getting commercial truck traffic off of main street, and making it a safer community is important. >> reporter: but critics said the bypass was too big. and caused too much damage to protected wetlan streams. they wanted a aller, cheaper road. when the pject bke grod in 2012, this cal trans financial plan shows the total cost estimate was $290 million. but the agency told abc 7 news and the public it was $210 million. three years later, cal trans revealed the cost was up to $300 million. and stuck with that figure, through the freeway's opening day. but an internal agency document shows by then, the total was really $450 million. spokesman phil frisbee said he
6:31 pm
did not use the new total because he was not sure it was correct. it was. and six weeks later it went even higher. $459 million. still, cal trans issued no correction. >> all i can say is that cal trans is made up of imperfect people just like any other organization. we do our bist at transparency. >> reporter: the project faced a parade of problems, including a construction accident that injured three people and major issues with required environmental mitigation. the agency admitted costs were going up. but only reported a fraction of the increase to the public. >> the discrepancy is due to some cultural changes of cal trans. >> reporter: frisbee is talking about support costs. that refers to the cal trans staff that worked on each project. for many years, the agency did not include its own employees in total project costs. but after years of criticism, that changed. >> it's been cal trans' policy since about 2008 when we really
6:32 pm
started officially saying, you know, we need to make sure we include all of the core costs. that gives the public really a better idea. >> but it didn't change with the willits bypass project. >> thas correc >> 2008 it was supposed to change. but as recently as 2016, the public was being told it was a $300 million project. >> that's correct. >> reporter: frisbee said he thought the totals he gave the public included support costs. but they did not. cal trans documents show support costs roughly doubled, starting at $79 million in 2012, and up to $155 million by 2015. none of it made public. you may not have been aware until october of 2016, but your bosses were clearly aware that support costs were not included in those publicly released figures. >> i don't know that they did know. >> how would they not know, phil, that there was another $160 million not being reported? >> another piece of this puzzle is since 1989, we have changed
6:33 pm
accounting systems four times. >> reporter: we wanted to ask matt brady about that. he's director of the cal trans district that includes the willits bypass, the most expensive project ever in that district. but brady said he was busy, and preferred phil frisbee do the interview. >> i wouldn't be doing what i do if i didn't think that cal trans was overall a good agency, honest, and open. >> reporter: we showed the documents with the real bypass costs to some of the critics who fought the freeway. >> the real question is, why? why does cal trans hold such power over the public purse that they would get away with lying to the public? >> after i sat down with c trans for that interview, the agency posted a blog with the true costs of the bypass. and the total could still go higher, keep in mind, because cal trans will be working for years to finish environmental requirements. that work already accounts for
6:34 pm
$90 million of the $460 million total cost. now, to developing news on the backlog of untested rape kits. the abc 7 news iteam has been tracking for years. as many as 400,000 rape kits are just waiting to be tested in california, leaving many sexual assault victims with months or years to wait to have their cases advance in court. it can cost more than $1,000 to process the dna from one single kit. campbell assemblyman hopes to break that backlog by adding a new funding source that would let any californian to donate. >> to provide some source to be able to do that, on a voluntary basis, and provides an opportunity to educate california residents on what this issue might be. >> assemblyman lowe said they've raised more than $1 million on the check boxes on the state tax return. three capsized sailors are safe thankful to the watchful
6:35 pm
eye and safety training of a ferryboat captain. it unfolded yesterday afternoon in the chilly waters of san francisco bay. kate larsen caught up with the ferry captain who helped save these sailors' lives. >> the current had the boat spinning around underwater. it was kind of a bad situation. >> reporter: captain jim lily describing the rough conditions on the bay yesterday when he and his ferry crew spotted this capsized boat and three men in the water. >> we saw about a half mile away a couple guys waving. and they looked like they were in trouble, of course. >> reporter: at 2:30 yesterday afternoon, lily notified the coast guard and told his ferry passengers they were going on a detour to help. >> we yelled over to them, and asked if they were okay. and they kind of gave us, a little bit. we're kind of okay. that right away is when we said, okay, we need to get the man
6:36 pm
overboard gear ready. >> reporter: ferry crews actually rescue about ten people from the bay a year and assist the coast guard with dozens more rescues, which is why they train regularly on man overboard procedures. >> we keep our overboard ladder, life vests with ropes, life rings. >> reporter: overhead as they threw the life vest on a rope to one of the men struggling in the water -- >> the water is about 50, 59 degrees. in 20 minutes you're not doing good at all. >> reporter: thanks to captain lily's quick work, the men were only in the water five to ten minutes. >> eventually somebody would have found them but they were pretty cold. >> reporter: all three men here seen walking back on to shore had mild hypothermia. the coast guard said none of them were wearing life jackets or wet suits. captain lily wants to remind everyone on the water to wear or be in arm's reach of a flotation device.
6:37 pm

>> today a startup launched a new way for nonprofits to raise money. >> as jonathan bloom explains, it has a funny name, sure, but its founder hopes it could become an everyday word. >> reporter: here at z space in san francisco, no sooner does a performance wrap up than a rehearsal for the nt one begins. >> we have dance here, theater, film, we have music. >> reporter: they also have this dry erase board that shows where the money for those productions is coming from. >> through ticket sales, through foundations, individual donors. >> reporter: since president trump took office they said fund-raising has changed. >> the national endowment for arts is at risk now. >> reporter: and some donors have shifted their giving toward political causes. >> it's a precarious time for
6:41 pm
many arts organizations in the country. >> reporter: perhaps the perfect time for a new tool. >> we help donations. >> reporter: vivian was an investment manager. >> go to the foundation x, foundation y, z, to apply for those loans. >> reporter: but here they apply once to be looked over by all the platforms, and could get a better deal than the bank. >> instead of paying 16%, we're paying under 5%. >> reporter: it works some of the interest rate magic by looking at borrowers differently. they look at factors that are specific to the nonprofit world. >> they said receiving the grant for 13 years in a row, and consistently every year, about the same amount. >> reporter: they take grants, ticket sales, even a board member's personal assets as collateral. >> they can start collecting some payments back, and then maybe when they receive their year-end bonus or whatever that might be, then they can decide, okay, that's the time to convert it to a donation.
6:42 pm
>> reporter: with one click they can forgive the rest of the loan and get a tax write-off and maybe a spot on the wall of donors. >> these are tough times for a lot of the donations in the arts. >> reporter: in san francisco, jonathan bloom, abc 7 news. coming up next, "7 on your side's" michael finney helps one family with a complicated resolution to a simple mistake. >> that was getting in the way of their ♪ ♪ isaac hou has mastered gravity defying moves

a federal study found roughly one in five consumers discovered errors in their credit report that were eventually corrected. >> "7 on your side's" michael finney said it could be costly. >> it costs you a lot of money. an error on your credit report can reduce your score and lessen your chance of getting a good loan. a cheap loan. one oakland couple recently found that out firsthand. henrietta and ronald enjoy their oakland home. they applied to refinance their mortgage at the beginning of this year, but were denied. their credit report listed a second home the couple owned as a foreclosure. the fabios say their credit report had not been properly updated. >> the foreclosure never went through. >> reporter: the couple received a modification, but as late as
6:46 pm
this year, their credit report from transunion still listed the home as a foreclosure. >> everybody kept saying, you have a foreclosure onour record. >> reporter: transunion w the only credit bureau that listed a foreclosure. henrietta set they sent transunion the proof but nothing changed. suzanne is with consumers union. >> their processes may be relatively automated. they may just be checking boxes. if they check their records, and it appears the information is still accurate, they may not do anything, so you may have to be persistent. >> reporter: the couple wasn't ready to give up. >> for me, i'm thinking, i'm going to find a way. >> reporter: henrietta dropped by my "ask finney" event in alameda and talked to one of my consumer counselors. transunion told us, discrepancies potentially can result from a number of factors, such as identity theft, a disagreement between a consumer
6:47 pm
and their creditor, or a data entry error somewhere along the way. the company says within a week the foreclosure was removed from their credit report. henrietta was happy she paid me a visit. >> thank you, michael, and thank you for advertising that you're going to be there. and it was just so simple. >> our next "ask finney" event is july 14th at the town center in korta ma dera. as for the fabios, they tell us they're well on their way to get their mortgage refinanced. if you want more information, go to our website for a link to get your own free credit report. if you have another consumer problem, let me know about it. my hotline is open monday through friday 10:00 to 2:00. and of course, you can always reach me through facebook or our station's abc7news.com. >> bringing into action as you always do.

but keep in mind nfl contracts are not fully guaranteed. it's believed $40 million of the $125 million in this deal is completely guaranteed. it's also been reported that the contract is back loaded to take advantage of the fact that las vegas has no state income tax, and the raiders as you know will be playing there in a few years. carr threw for almost 4,000 yards lt season. the raiders have a news conference scheduled for tomorrow. the draft that i day of thee golden state warriors. not anymore. the nba champs don't even have a pick in tonight's draft which started with the philadelphia 76ers. >> the philadelphia 76ers select markelle fultz from the university of washington. >> no surprise here. markelle fultz. alonzo ball. fgs the celtics, suns go with
