restaurants eight of which are partially owned by governor newsom received nearly $3 million in ppp loans. good evening. i'm dan ashley. >> i'm ama daetz. we want to remind those of you joining us in 2018 newsom placed the ownership interest of the plump jack group into a blind trust. this means he would have no knowledge or role in the company's business decisions made during his time in office. >> we heard from many of you who are small business owners that struggle to get access to the ppp money. >> yeah, abc 7 news i-team reporter recei eer stephanie sia gives us a closer look at who had the resources to put forth the best loan of case and those

who didn't. >> seems like a lot of large businesses are being taken care of first and small guys lick ke are left on the sideline. >> reporter: we followed his journey to get a ppp loan since the federal lending program first opened on april 3rd. he applied that day to struggled to get money for months. abc 7 data analysis found found villa encinal partners lp got their loan approved on april 14th. that's 11 days after the lending program launched. it took field 90 days to get his $40,000 loan approved. he tried applying through four different banks and eventually received the money in late june. >> it wasn't until that day with two hours to spare that we finally were able to get through. >> reporter: villa encinal partners lp is part of the pump

jack group that received $3 million in ppp loans. eight of those companies governor gavin newsom partially owns. it's important to note the interests in those companies are in a blind trust. according to his 2019 statement of economic interest, he received a gross income over $100,000 just from villa encinal partners. this company traced back to the plump jack winery in that pnapa received $918,000 to retain 14 employees. >> that doesn't balance out. >> reporter: she owns john cots farms, a family owned wine business. she received a ppp loan worth $1.3 million and retained 141 employees. to put that into perspective, abc 7's analysis found the number of employees obtained for every winery that received money is 148. >> the point of the loans were to retain as much, as many as possible and really help

businesses get through this tough time. >> reporter: she retained 141 employees with $1.3 million assuming 60% is used towards payroll a requirement of the sba that amounts to 5800 per employee for a period of three months. as a comparison, doing the same math, each of the 14 employees at villa encinal partners would receive around 40,000. abc 7 reached out to the group a second time requesting payroll records to see how each of the 14 employees of villa encinal partners were paid. we received this statement. plump jack management group is operating within the federal guidelines created for covid-19 sba loan recipients. these funds are critical keeping the staff employed and continuing operations. any implication we have done anything outside of the guidelines or we have filed for forgiveness on the loan is irresponsible. >> if somebody ended up with close to a million dollars and

had 14 employees, somehow the math just doesn't work. >> reporter: steve is an accountant and financial consultant that helped more than 200 businesses in san francisco apply for ppp loans. >> to be honest, the entire process was a mess unless you were able to either figure it out yourself or get professional help. the little guy, mom and pops were completely passed over. >> reporter: we made a third attempt to reach the governor again today but have yet to hear back. for a full look at our team's analysis, we posted interactive graphs on our website. for the i-team, stephanie sierra, abc 7 news. >> let's bring in for the discussion now contributor and chronicle insider phil ma teaep. we have a lot of questions. >> after what we uncovered for plump jack and ppp funding, do you think there will be more

scrutiny of the governor and his business dealings? >> absolutely and there should be. there should be more scrutiny about the program itself. as you pointed out, this is a program where we have federal money going through banks and banks do a lot of what banks do. they help their preferred customers and that's often the people with the money already in their pockets and in this case, it's a classic example of the money that went to plump jacks is questionable about exactly how much they got and where it wound up. did it go to the employees? how is it going? it needs more scrutiny. >> so phil, governor newsom makes a point his interest in the plump jack group were put in a blind trust years ago. how do those actually work and do they work? >> that's a real good question because you put it in a blind trust but as we've reported, you've reported, the principles in plump jack are his sister and cousin. how blind is the trust? he still is on the website. how blind is the trust? and also, you know, what are the -- privately you have a

business running its operation but publicly, even if there is a blind trust or a wall there, it's still up to the governor. he's receiving a profit from this and so he shares some of the responsibilities. it's not the first time we've seen it. there is often been questions about senator diane feinstein and her husband and his business dealings with the country and state and now we have it with govern governor newsom, as well. if it's your family members that are part of the blind trust, is it a completely blind trust, one-eyed trust? are we dealing with and the public asks questions about that, as they should. >> sure and have a right to know. in your column today, you say there have been five previous attempts to recall governor newsom and there is a sixth effort underway. californians recalled the governor before. we remember back in 2003. what odds do you give governor newsom? >> here is the thing. right now the recall needs about 2 million signatures.

they have 800,000, dan. what makes this one different is the mood of the state and the mood of the nation. gavin newsom like it or not after the french laundry restaurant where he wined and dines with friends and colleagues when other people were staying indoors barely making rent made him a poster boy for political do as i say, not as i do. and that's generating a lot of signatures. they've got about 800,000 now. they probably need 2 million to qualify. if they get national money coming in on this campaign and gavin continues to attract national attention for french laundry stories and the one that stephanie just presented here, there could be -- it could catch fire and his team knows that and know they have got to turn things around and turn them around fast. >> the timing of that dinner was really terrible for the governor. phil, thanks very much. you can read phil's columns in the san francisco chronicle every wednesday and sunday and

very much worth your time. stephanie's story is the most popular one on abc7news.com right now. you can share it with your friends to keep the conversation going. we're working to build a better bay area by taking care of our health. unfortunately, today is another record setting coronavirus day in california. more than 30,000 people have been newly diagnosed in the past day. that's more than ever before. a record number of patients are hospitalized and icu patients hit a record for the sixth straight day. the percentage of available icu beds is what determines if a region follows the new state's stay-at-home order. the sacramento region fell under 15% threshold and will shut down gyms, salons and more by tomorrow. the san joaquin valley region haves done that. half of the counties adopted the stay-at-home order and monterrey will begin on sunday even though we're above the threshold however that could drop faster than we think according to the san francisco director of

health. >> san francisco will run out of intensive care unit beds by december 27th in just 17 days. >> that is right around the corner. in the south bay three are attica paa at capacity. kris reyes spoke with hospital officials today. >> i think this is as fatigued as we have been, you know, in this area in emergency care. >> reporter: all hands on deck and staff working over time. the hospital is at full capacity including 37 icu beds. two more hospitals in santa clara are in the same boat. gilroy and o'connor hospital and public health officials say this is a thanksgiving surge they were afraid of. >> we may see up to 100 cases a day hitting hospitals in the next couple days.

we're in the meat of it but it's not over yet. >> reporter: at regional medical the plan is to get patients out of the hospital as soon as possible. and to double up rooms when it's safe to do so. >> that means opening up beds and units that had not been open before. utilizing space in creative ways such as post procedural areas, we can use them as icus. >> public health officials in the county have been voicing concerns daily about surging covid numbers while hospitals like regional medical are still managing the surge they warned that if trends continue, it could be a very bad situation by next week. in this parking lot, disaster tents to manage extra patients could start going up again. >> if everything continues on track, probably beginning next week we will more seriously consider that. >> as we continue to see the level of transmission that we have been seeing up until now in which case we may very well see the pictures we saw in texas and new york earlier on this year.

in the state of california as well as locally to do everything we can to get our students back to in person opportunities. >> cash has been struggling just missing friends. >> reporter: holly leslie is anxious for her kids to get back into the classroom. she supports early vaccines for teachers. >> i think that shay should so they feel comfortable. they are putting themselves out there for the kids. >> reporter: teachers' unions like priority but they want the vaccine rollout to be safe but not rushed. marin educators said we can't wait to be back in the classroom once we ensure the safe tity fo everyone on campus. logistics how they will get the vaccines are still being worked out. >> abc 7 news is going to devote next week to bringing you-all of the major updates right now in vaccine development. our team of reporters and medical experts will answer the big questions from safety to distribution to side effects and more. and on monday, a special edition

>> it's not like we're stuck in this situation. it's something you have to put up with for a few weeks and the quicker that you're able to adapt and acre set it is the quicker you'll be able to improve as a player. >> you're focused on the job at hand, really. i got to play football, lead this team and appreciate my family's support. i know they always love me and got my back. >> the setup is great. like i said last week, the setup is as good as we could have hoped for. the second week it sets in a little bit. >> listen up. listen up. things have not changed. we're still in the eye of the hurricane. >> the san jose state spartans are still in the eye of the hurricane but sparty is 5-0 for the first time since 1939. spencer i think was a sideline reporter for one of the games back then. a win this friday night over nevada and they're in the mountain west championship game for the first time ever. >> since i've been here, we v t haven't so all that matters is

this game. that's all it's been for us all year. that'se kind of focufo us in our program anyway is all that matters is what we're doing right now and so you know, we have to get ready for this game and that's all we can afford to do and all we want to do. >> tell you what, he has done a great job of turning the program around. to the surprise of absolutely nobody, the big ten changed its own rules today. they will let ohio state play in the big ten title game next weekend before the season started, the conference said the teams had to play at least six games to qualify for the championship game but because of covid cancellations, ohio state only played five and the buckeyes fourth in the play-off standings. with draymond green and james wiseman recovering from covid-19, the warriors will start looney at center saturday night again denver. like most of us, lonnie had a horrible 2020 but his issues actually started prepandemic.

looney battled a neuropathic condition causing on constant pain. >> i feel great. it's the best i felt in a long time. i'm able to compete, go hard and do extra work before and after with no problems. so i feel confident in my body and where i'm at right now and really excited for the season. >> yeah, i think everybody knows loon is kind of a personal favorite of mine just because of the way he's handled himself throughout his young career and so we really want to give him good number of minutes to see if his body holds up and get his rhythm back. >> yeah and hopefully he'll be okay and healthy. one other nba note, the league is changed it's ruling on clothing for coaches on the sidelines for awhile they wanted everybody in suits but they're doing away with that so coaches can wear polos.

steve kerr said he was devastated by that because he has a clothing line coming out and that was a joke, actually. [ laughter ] >> he'd much rather be in a polo on the sidelines. >> thanks very much. >> join us tonight for abc 7 news at 11:00. >> the stay-at-home order is not in place here in san may dteo county but many business owners say in the last four days, business is way down. you'll hear what those business owners have to say tonight at 11:00. when does the coronavirus vaccine arrive in the bay area? we'll break down the timeline and how much each county is ex ekt anding. thanks for watching. i'm ama daetz. >> i'm dan ashley. for all of us, we appreciate your time. have a nice evening. we'll see again at 11 11:00.
