rebuilding a pipeline. >> if there is no water -- >> there will be water next year. >> the year is still young with no relief in sight. for marin county, abc 7 news the crippling drought is dropping water levels at the hoover dam to their lowest in decades. hoover dam and lake mead straddled the arizona nevada state line along the colorado river. experts predict water levels will drop to just under 1072 feet. it is the lowest level on record since the 1930s when the dam was being felt. it is mostly a western us affected by the drought it could impact other parts of the country especially when it comes to food prices.food pricei california produces nearly half of all us grown fruits, vegetables and nuts. farmers estimate losses caused by the drought could be in the millions. let's check in with meteorologist drew with a closer look at the problem. >> we just got those latest numbers earlier this morning and it doesn't show the drought

behavior or violence during cassidy's lengthy career. however it is releasing information about four incidents on the last two years that resulted in disciplinary actions. in july 2019, cassidy was sent home without pay for two days because of insubordination. he refused to sign out a two- way radio. there was a verbal altercation between cassidy and a coworker in january of last year. at the time a coworker made a chilling report that another unnamed employee said about cassidy quote he scares me. if someone was to go postal, it would be him. in october of last year, cassidy refused to attend a mandatory cpr recertification siding covid concerns. vta said it made a number of reasonable accommodations with no resolution. last november, cassidy used a vta two-way radio for personal use and then left work without permission. cassidy's dissatisfaction with his employer may have extended farther back than 2019. customs and border protection stopped him in

told abc news he was carrying books about terrorism as well is a no but that detailed hatred for his workplace. vta says there are still thousands of documents to review. so far vta says there is no documentation or history of complaints of cassidy making racist or threatening remarks to his colleagues. for the i team, melanie woodrow, abc 7 news. >> the state of california appeal last week's ruling by a federal judge overturning the states three decades-old ban on assault weapons. attorney general rob announced the decision in san francisco alongside governor newsom, health officials, local leaders and gun-control advocates. in his 94 page ruling, judge roger spoke favorably of weapons saying they were overwhelmingly used for legal reasons. >> san francisco supervisor aaron said today he is entering alcohol treatment. this news comes after questions about the longtime politicians conduct at city hall. the 56-year-old has been a force for years in san

francisco politics. he is currently serving in his second stint on the board. and a statement today, he said quote i standby my long legislative and civic record must also take full responsibility for the tenure i have struck in my public relationships and for that i am truly sorry. abc 7 news insider is here with more on that. i know there is an interesting exchange recently at city hall. >> just this week. we are talking about a supervisor, questioned about whether he had been drinking or not. basically getting in the face of the park director ginsburg and a lot of people weren't happy about it. >> thank you president lawton and sorry for my interruptions. mr. ginsberg, not with a lot of respect but if you could wipe that smirk off of your face, that would help these proceedings. >> a few choice words were tossed around.

aaron is probably one of the most powerful people and long- standing people in san francisco politics. he has been both a thorn in the side and an ally to everybody from willie brown to gavin newsom to edley and most recently london. he also has a history of being abusive to staff and department heads and a history of drinking. you might recall in 2018 there was a fire in north beach from the area that he represents and there were allegations that he had been drinking and trying to tell the fire department how to handle the fire. >> we have a clip from that day. actually, it is video only from that day but this is a situation. >> chief joanne was upset saying he had been belligerent. i texted erin and he said he actually is going into treatment but he is going to continue working and plans to continue on at the board of supervisors. the mayor has said his conduct was not acceptable, so far only one of his colleagues has questioned it.

we have seen this in san francisco and in oakland where politicians can get abusive to staff. it has always been an issue of this sort of a realm of silence around them where their fellow members on the board where the state assembly or the state senate ought not to say anything rather than to call people out for inappropriate behavior. >> it can be awkward in any work situation that is going on. in terms of legacy, what does this mean? >> remains to be seen. it is not the first person to take a break or to get alcohol rehab. gavin newsom, the mayor of san francisco after it became known that he was having an affair with one of his staffers went in for alcohol help. he stayed on the job and then went on to become lieutenant governor and now governor. erin, he is probably in the final term of his time on the board of supervisors. i don't think there is another office out there for him to run for. he might be experiencing burnout but the combination of alcohol and the abuse that we

have seen and late night phone calls to people and stuff like that all mounted up and in this day and age what was said in the halls in past years is no longer acceptable. >> clearly. let's hope he gets the help he needs and is healthy going forward. appreciate your time. thank you so much. mask confusion. days away from june 15, a data set to reopen california. there is still a lot of questions and we will try to answer some of them. the decision today that could make a difference for writers. touch

it is a project decades in the making. hamilton creator is in theaters today. i have a chance to talk with him about his journey to this point and i may have accidentally spoiled something. >> [ music playing playing play >> hamilton fans like myself immediately recognize the musical style but you actually started writing in the heights long before hamilton right? >> in the heights is 20 years of my life. i started writing it when i was 19 years old. i am 41. so it has been a long journey to this film, a step of it i wouldn't trade away because this cast is so extraordinary. john's direction of the film is so extraordinary. but yes, i learned how to write musicals writing in the

heights. there are five musicals called in the heights and one made into broadway. >> you only need one. that is what i always tell the kids. i found it super relatable as a chinese-american immigrant, finding a home in america, relying on your community and most of all the nina character, not wanting to fill your family. so right now america is so complicated. to hope this will be a universal story that unites us? >> i hope so. again, i am so glad that nina resonated with you because nina is the character that was closest to me. i'm first generation -- and michael writer is first- generation. we both know what that familial expectation is. we know the burden of family sacrifice and navigating their sacrifices but also wanting to find your own way in the world. i think john understood that. he is also first-generation and his dad started a small business, a restaurant that he

grew up and so i knew he knew that on a molecular level. so i think again, i think it is incredibly relatable. most of us come from somewhere and we are navigating those questions of what paul means. >> i am so glad you mentioned. he is the bay area's favorite son. you talk about the most amazing dumplings ever. so just putting that out there. so the stage production got there nominations and it one best musical in 2008 so the movie should have been a slamdunk but 10 years ago hollywood was a really different place, a different mindset and it almost didn't happen. >> it straight up didn't happen. again, it was a one step over, two steps back. the one step forward was the miracle and we actually got our show written by latino, starring latinos onto broadway and we were able to tell our

own stories and thinking that we would have sort of smooth sailing to hollywood was kind of nac retrospect. we quickly hit the wall of weld there are no latino movie stars that test international. you kind of raise their hand and go well if we don't make movies with latinos in them, there never will be. you cannot make international stars unless you make the movies and take chances on the latino talent. like the credit goes back to -- the way he created a lien with crazy rich asians, he made this big sumptuous hollywood movie and he said here are some of the stars you know and here are some movie stars you don't but they are all movie stars. it was so intelligently cast that now anyone can go to a movie. aqua fina can go open -- movies. in terms of making stars and i think we wanted to do a similar thing with heights. we have jimmy smith and mark

anthony. you have heard of those people but we also have leslie grace who was a huge star in the music world and we have anthony ramos. so again to hopefully create a lien would be be >> people need to stay through the end to see the post credit seen with you as the -- >> there is a post credit sequence. samuel l jackson may or may not show up. stay through the credits. >> okay. congratulations. >> think you. >> did you just give >> no. it is totally fine. he stopped me just in time. he was so generally nice and he was genuinely excited to see me and that newsroom setting. he was like look at that people coworkers. >> humans. >> he had been in lockdown too long with his two kids in pandemic and just happy to be

back out there and happy people are back in theaters. >> i love his energy. we have a human. >> what an intro. i love it. we're talking about some high clouds moving and. that breeze we have out there right now will weaken a bit. we are talking temperatures in the low 40s to low 50s. tomorrow it is a mix of sun and clouds especially in the north bay, a bit brighter as you go south. numbers a few degrees warmer tomorrow compared to today but that breeze is back with us tomorrow afternoon. those wins gusting about 20-30 miles per hour to finish out the week. a little bit warmer, back to where we should be for this time of year. some coastal clouds, a lot of sunshine inland and a carbon copy forecast for sunday. all in all the weekend shaping up to be pretty nice across the entire region. here is the accuweather seven- day forecast. the numbers start to climb especially by the middle part of next week. we will find those warmer temperatures surging inland

while the coast stays relatively cool. >> i want to get past the weekend. i want to focus on the weekend. meteorologist drew, i apologize for an improper introduction. ♪ talking about that, ♪ hey jason, try to catch on of my chocolate croissant bites in your mouth. jack, you gotta stop clowning around. oh... i didn't mean it like that. wow bro. jack, that came out wrong. my chocolate croissant bites. only at jack in the box. majestic mountains... my chocolate croissant bites. scenic coastal highways... fertile farmlands... there's lots to love about california. so put off those chores and use less energy from 4 to 9 pm when less clean energy is available. because that's power down time.
