abc seven news faxing team on california's new rules for school. good evening, thank you for joining us. i am on a dates -- i am -- >> it is something many bay area districts already did, including san jose, san francisco and oakland. >> this one affects millions of californians. it is why we have team coverage on the topic today. this is part of building a better bay area. >> leah melendez looks into the testing part of the equation. is it a viable alternative. let's hear from laura anthony who was there when the governor made today's announcement. laura. >> i am at wegner ranch elementary here. this is the first day of school for students and teachers here.

while they were getting settled into their classrooms, the governor was making an announcement that affects staff, employees at schools up and down the state. . >> we think this. is the right thing to do. --. >> we think this is the right thing to do. >> gavin newsom announced that all employees of california schools will have to show that they have been vaccinated or they will have to be tested frequently. >> today, we are formalizing this announcement. >>'s announcement comes with the support of the california teachers association with claims that 90% of its members are already fully vaccinated. >> i encourage all who can to get vaccinated. vaccines work and they keep our students and communities safe. >> the governor's announcement

mirrors a similar move made by oakland unified. >> that decision was made to ensure that we are doing our part to keep our schools safe as well as the broader community. >> those teachers who choose not to get vaccinated will keep their jobs as long as they agree to weekly testing. >> if it were to go beyond that, i believe there would have to be certain exemptions for medical reasons. we would look at that when it comes. >> we members and of those responding, 87% said they were in favor of a vaccination or test requirement. >> governor newsom will not rule out a strict vaccine mandate in the future. >> we want to end this pandemic and disease, we can do it in the month -- in a month. that is a choice. >> the governor was very careful not to use the word mandate

because this announcement is not a mandate. that is either show proof of vaccination or get tested. as you heard the governor, reserve the right to revise or change the policy in the weeks ahead. >> we will have to see how this plays out. let's talk about the students for a moment as they go back to class. will they be required to get vaccinated? >> not yet. the governor was asked to that about whether similar requirements or announcements might come regarding students. the 12 and older students do have a vaccine that is available to them but it is not yet fully approved by the fda. the governor said at this point they just want to get going or go ahead with this particular policy, see how it plays out and let other -- and that other

decisions and moves could be made as things develop. >> instead of getting vaccinated, staff can choose to take daily coronavirus tests. how accessible are those tests? leah melendez is live with a resolution introduced in oakland to make it easier for teachers. is it easier? >> this after some teacher started to complain after teachers not having test sites that work with their schedules. a petition is circulating and it has now more than 1300 signatures to ensure weekly on-site covid testing. >> olin teacher who is -- oakland teacher who is fully vaccinated. that will now happen after oakland unified agree to follow the lead of other districts. those teachers who opt out will have to be tested.

that can be a challenge for students and staff. >> i try to get a test for myself and my family. i could not find anything through ust. >> i have heard from the community that they could not get tested over the weekend. >> that is mike hutchinson. he has now introduced a resolution to require covid testing at all oakland school sites. similar to what berkeley unified already has. these carts are mobile and go from one school to another. >> we have the resources, we have covid relieve dollars. it is an easy fix to make those stationary centers more mobile. >> they have received $300 million in covid relief funding from the state and federal government to be used for these kinds of preventive measures. alameda unified will test anyone who works at one of their schools for -- from 3:00-6:00

p.m. on weekdays and from 9:00-five :00 on saturdays. children are getting tested before the return to school. >> they just put it on your nose like that. it is not painful. >> another option for oakland teachers is to use this in-home test kit. teachers and staff who are fully vaccinated are not required to be tested on a weekly basis once their status has been verified. >> in case you're wondering, the states will pick up the bill for those in-home test kits. i also want to put this out there. tonight, the school board returned to its regular in person meeting. it has been such a very long time. no more meetings on zoom and this afternoon, the school board members were given a tour of the room and how everything works just in case they forgot. a lot of us had to remember how to do things when we came back to work. >> that is true. >> is there a requirement for open students to be tested?

>> there are no requirements. in fact, they are saying that we don't need that. the school board is not even proposing that. can you imagine how outrageous the cost of that would be? what they want to do, the school board members is to make it more accessible if students and their families choose to be tested. it will be there at the school, that is if that resolution passes. >> anynynyny could affect the recall election. that is something we asked abc news about earlier today. quick three out of four californians over the age of 18 -- >> three out of four californians over the age of 18 are vaccinated. what he is doing is he is getting the schools open, getting open as smoothly as possible, trying to keep them from having shutdowns in the

next couple of weeks and showing leadership at the same time. that is the goal. whether it works or not, only time will tell. >> the recall election is on september 14. >> we just learned berkeley is mandating covid-19 vaccinations for all city employees. berkeley made the announcement moments ago, saying it will affect more than 1300 workers. centered -- stanford university will required weekly covid-19 testing regardless of vaccination status. tomorrow, the fda is expected to authorize booster shots for immunocompromised people. if you have questions about the covid-19 vaccines, you can watch the -- ask the abc seven news vaccine team. >> let's move on to the wildfires, grim milestones for the dixie fire, burning in for far northern california counties. it has also destroyed more than

a thousand structures. more than half of them are homes. just hours ago, some evacuation orders and warnings were actually downgraded. the fire is 30% contained. that is up from 35% yesterday. all of this fueled by the drought. drought is the worst it could possibly be. sonoma county's escalated. the water control board has erected more right told her not take more from the russian river, raising restrictions. as wayne freedman found out, there remain questions about how this will be enforced. >> a long way from previous glory and possibly on the road to emptiness. that is a daily burden for places downstream. >> i am worried. i have to say. i am worried. quite this is the lowest the lake has been at the state in almost 70 years.

they are struggling now that the state hasanded more cuts in their usage. >> this is the first time i have seen such a critical situation. >> the new orders are a matter of necessity. the state waterboard has some 1500 rights holders to stop taking water from the river. apparently, some of them have not. the problem is there is very little enforcement. >> is frustrating not for us but the state. >> they describe enforcement along the river that lies on the honor system. >> the only way to enforce at this point is for somebody to make a complaint. and then some but he comes out and investigates that complaint. >> at a time when restrictions would tighten the spigots even more. >> they are making it up as they go along. >> today, a new list of restrictions appeared along lake sonoma water.

he has used wells for years. they see little irrigation this time of season but he is your tater. >> we have seen politicians talk about covid. i think we should be talking to people who know about it or who are in usage. >> that from a man water assertions will have little to no effect this year. >> i'm spencer christian singh, i will have a look at bay area water quality. that is coming up. >> why was pg&e invited in to the governor's office? quite questions like that are at

on the consumer. he hopes his plan will reduce cost. fargo hopes it won't make things worse. >> i don't know how that will work. it already is a problem. they are just making it worse. i don't know what we will do about that. >> this won't make it so parking disappears. we are really looking at rightsizing the parking, making sure the development community along with the city have a robust conversation about what is really needed and reducing that number to the amount needed and not less and not more. >> in addition, the change because for development have plans in place to support other forms of transportation. dustin dorsey, abc seven news. >> spencer is here, that means weather. >> nice to get out and walk but it is hot out there. >> it is still quite toasty at there. closer to the coast, it is breezier and cooler. here is a look at how breezy it is right now, we have dust up to

upper 70's. the warmest areas will warm up to low to mid 90's. effect.emperatures tomorrow inen these areas. they could reach as high as 105 degrees. that obvious he brings with it the risk of heat related illnesses. here is the forecast. most areas in land. then we get that kent -- weekend warm up. low 80's around the bay shoreline. a cooling sea breeze develops on monday. that will bring us a steady cooldown going into the middle of next week. that is our accuweather 7-day forecast. >> imposters imposing -- posing as bank employees could be calling you.

i get it, maybe you can see just fine. but as a vsp® premier program doctor, let me tell you, everyone needs an annual comprehensive eye exam- like a vsp wellvision exam®. i see things you wouldn't expect to see in an eye exam, like the early signs of serious health conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure. it's about more than seeing well, it's about being well. schedule your comprehensive eye exam with a vsp premier program doctor. schedule your comprehensive eye exam ahhh. beautiful day in baltimore where most people probably know that geico could save them money on car insurance, right? you see the thing is geico, well, could help them save on boat insurance too. hey! okay...i'm ready to come in now.

withdrawal from my account for a large sum of money. >> he said david had better act fast to stop the withdrawal. >> in this day and age, it would be totally understandable. there is fraud, it is rampant. >> the man told him the best way to safeguard his money was to move it temporarily to another bank. >> he walked me through the process which i thought was very nice. plus the man told him to use this payment app to transfer his money to chase bank. >> as i was doing it, there was this little voice in my head that said this seemed very unorthodox to me. why would i be transferring money into another account but i suspended my disbelief and i made the transfer. quite as soon as the app whisked his money away, the awful realization sank in. -- >> as soon as the

his money away, the awful realization sank in. >> i thought how could i be taken like that? >> unfortunately this was a large sum of money and i kissed the money goodbye. >> bank of america tells seven on your side that money transfers happen instantly. the bank can try to stop them but there is no guarantee because the scammer takes the money as soon as it is sent. however, within days, david got a call from bank of america. he got this letter granting him a full refund. >> so relieved, i got my money back and i am very grateful for that. >> he did not disclose whether he was able to retrieve the money or catch the imposter at the other end. scammers can use phony caller pc . a bank would never call and ask you to move your money like that. what happens is you call it -- you hang up and call your bank

directly. i want to thank bank of america for this. >> what a lesson for everyone. >> coming up next, the start of a three-part series, fire, power, money. >> is it fair to say that pg&e's influence with the governor got them protection and reward in the face of crimes?

>> moving a better bay area, moving forward, finding solutions. this is abc seven news. >> california's burning crisis costs all of us to solve it. we have to master fire, power and money. the first of three parts in a year-long investigation of how the state government responded to pg&e's deadly crimes. >> pg&e is as we speak, pg&e is suspected of sparking the second largest fire in state history, the dixie fire. it has that people in its path

to wonder why pg&e is still in a position of authority. >> that is what this series -- what this series is about, fire, power, money. california state government offered pg&e protection from consequences. records reveal governor newsom's office created the bill. >> bill that was more than a bailout. here is brandon reutimann. paradise evacuated, overtired calfire dispatcher drove toward the flames. >> knew people were dying. -- i knew people were dying. i was hoping it wasn't anybody we knew but i knew people were dying.

just driving up. >> it was worse than the big fire steve bradley trained for as a volunteer firefighter in paradise. on his way up, he called his mom and his grandma, colleen. >> i will see you soon, love you, goodbye. >> we were getting used to the idea of her living with us, not losing her. >> even at not ready to vignette. question did not want to put it off because she did not want to give up her independence. >> her mom -- his mom made it up but nobody heard from grandma colleen. >> i was just watching the fire marched down the hill. >> ethel joined the list of hundreds missing. her name showed up at an evacuation site.

i was ecstatic. i thought i found it. she came back out. i knew. >> this is grandma colleen's house. investigators found her remains cremated in her own laundry room. that is just one family. >> my father was found in a bathtub. >> you don't want to die. >> pg andy admitted to killing all of these people -- pg&e admitted to killing all of these people. >> these hooks are what are

holding the electrical lines off the ground. pg andy's decision was to let these things hang until they broke. it save them money apparently. >> they knew those powerlines were not safe. they had known for years. they just did not do anything. >> guilty of 84 felony counts of involuntary manslaughter. criminal negligence, a reckless disregard for life. >> you're sitting across from me and telling me it has not sounded an alarm. >> yes. that is the problem. nobody is taking any of these things seriously enough. >> if it were me, i would have been in jail a long time ago. but pg&e gets a pass because they are a corporation. >> corporations can't go to prison.

>> we take no pride in the fact that the punishment is so little. >> instead of 90 years behind bars, the judge sentenced pg&e to pay the maximum fine under california law. $10,000 per victim killed. >> we are not holding these people accountable. we do have mechanisms to hold them accountable. >> mike at least got them to admit they killed all those people. what should have happened at that point, that is when the system should have kicked in. >> you are a killer corporation. that means something in terms of regulatory agencies, governor offices, legislatures. >> has it really meant something? has pg andy's repetition as a convicted killer really earned it stricter treatment?

our nearly three year-long investigation reveals the opposite. the state government did more than just help pg&e avoid accountability, governor gavin newsom's administration responded to pg andy's crimes by offering the company reward and protection. the governor does not want to talk about it. he has declined or ignored every interview request we have sent, dating back to his time as governor-elect. the state is still rewarding pg&e. even though pg andy is already under more criminal investigations. >> calfire personnel on the site brought it to our attention what appears to be a broken jumper on one of our transmission towers. >> the zogg fire killed four people. even after those fires, california state governor gave pg&e this. an official state safety certificate. this is more than a label, this is worth money.

big money. >> >> let me see if i can make you a billionaire tonight. >> that is the draw for the biggest single winning lottery ticket in u.s. history just two weeks before the campfire. $1.5 billion. if you are -- if pg&e starts another fire that big, this certificate could he worth 10 times more money than that. >> the safety certificate let's pg&e and the two other big investor owned power companies tap into a $21 billion state insurance fund. have paid for by utilities and have paid for by the customers. or a surcharge on power bills for 20 years. utilities in the fund can start a big fire, negotiate a settlement with the victims and get this state fund to pay those

victims out. the signature on the first safety certificate belongs to alice. >> i did not want to sign this. >> stebbins was the executive director of the california utilities commission. pg andy's state regulator. >> what would you say to the people of paradise? -- pg andy -- pg&e's state regular. >> what would you say to the people of paradise? >> that i am sorry. quite is it fair to say that pg&e's -- >> is it fair that pg&e got protection from the governor? >> we obtained confidential documents showing private attorneys hired by governor newsom's office wrote the law to protect pg&e. document reveal how they watered

down safety and accountability. >> they could cause another campfire.

>> is it fair to say andy -- pg&e's influence with the governor got them protection and reward in the face of crimes? >> i think that is a fair assessment. >> how did it work question mark -- how did it work? >> through ab 1054. >> ab 1054 was signed by gavin newsom. he benefited from more than 200 thousand dollars in political donations from pg&e. >> have you reconsidered having the money back to pg&e that they contributed to your campaign? >> look what i just passed. >> the law the governor is pointing at gave pg&e a safety certificate for making a plan to be safe. it did not actually require pg&e to be safe.

that is not how the bill started. we have documents the public really get to see. this was weeks before it was revealed to state lawmakers. these documents show the law was crafted by the law firm governor newsom hired to represent him in pg&e's bankruptcy. payment records show that law firm charged to the taxpayers $3 million during the six months when the law took shape. financial firm guggenheim helped create the governor's new law, billing taxpayers $3.7 million. the state has a whole agency dedicated to writing bills. we asked of the governor why he hired private films -- firms to do it instead, the governor's office did not answer. at the time the bill was being drafted, pg&e did not -- had not pled guilty to the campfire crimes yet for the complete was

already a convicted felon. >> the judgment was strong but it is never enough because i can never get my family back. >> serving time on probation for the deadly san bruno gas explosion. that is why the bill -- when the bill is being debated, we pressed the governor for information. >> you took more than $200,000 to help get elected. how should people trust you to be running the show to come up with a solution? >> i wish you luck with whatever you're working on but that is a strange question. >> you asked that question before you knew what he was doing. >> might represent pg&e customers fighting the company's bailout. he uncovered calendar entries -- entries, things like meet and greets at the governor's office in the weeks when the governor bill weld's being crafted. >> guilty your honor. 84 times i said guilty your

honor and yet there was a disconnect between that and being shown in the front door at the governor's office and being given special legislation and special protection. why? why was pg&e invited into the governor's office? >> ab 1054 made pg&e's safety certificate automatic. >> the bottom line was i was told to sign it. you will sign this,. -- you will sign this. >> our investigation reveals the governor's lawyers watered the bill down as they revised the language, they chipped away that new agency's power to force safety. this would have made utilities earn a positive safety determination. the author struck at determination and made it only a

staff recommendation. by the time state lawmakers got to see the bill, even that language was gone. the final law only made pg&e do four things, all of them on paper. the law said pg&e do nothing. quested they have to inspect their hooks and replace old equipment to get the certificate? >> they should have. >> for the extensive benefits that a company gets from having the safety certificate, that should come with the accountability. >> net skinner, the safety certificate worries him. -- the safety certificate worries nat skninner.

>> the governor's the rules. it automatically deems a power company reasonable if it has a safety certificate. more than that, if -- the governor's bill prophets. >> why would we have to cap how much the utilities are paying back to the wildfire fund? quest to protect the utility. -- >> to protect the utility. >> pg&e shareholders would have been on the hook for $4 billion. not for the tens of billions but the ultimate -- that they ultimately ended up paying out. >> they could cause another campfire potentially and not have to go bankrupt. >> yes. >> i think that is obscene. >> i don't understand why this

is allowed. why they get the safety certificate. they get to set up the rules. they don't benefit anybody but themselves. >> in a written response to our reporting, governor newsom's office pointed out that the law required pg&e to spend money on safety. newsom's office ignored all of our specific questions about the much bigger amount of money that law gave to the safety certificate program. >> the governor has made it more of a priority for pg&e to come out ok then the victims of pg&e. why?

all of this coming to light. >> this was just part one of three in an investigative series. >> it is all about money. it is the people higher up buying their way out of trouble. >> it is important for you to want pg&e to do well. >> it should not be up to the victims of pg&e to make sure that pg&e is healthy. >> how governor newsom's infamous french laundry dinner is connected to the plan to protect pg&e. the french laundry connection is the french laundry connection is friday on abc's i get it, maybe you can see just fine. but as a vsp® premier program doctor, let me tell you, everyone needs an annual comprehensive eye exam- like a vsp wellvision exam®. i see things you wouldn't expect to see in an eye exam, like the early signs of serious health conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure. it's about more than seeing well, it's about being well.
