behind prop 27, their ballot measure for online sports betting? 90% of profits go to the out of state corporations permanently. only eight and a half cents is left for the homeless. and in virginia, arizona, and other states, fanduel and draftkings use loopholes to pay far less than was promised. sound familiar? it should. vote no on prop 27.

county board of supervisors is set to vote on formally supporting proposition 30. yeah, that's the bill aimed at raising taxes on the wealthy in order to fund wildfire management and electric vehicle infrastructure. but while most democrats support it governor newsom is against it abc 7 news reporter. ryan curry has the details and explains. contra costa county is now weighing in on this proposition that aims to raise. is as we said on the wealthy in order to fund wildfire management. election day is less than one month away and proposition 30 has received mixed reviews now the contra costa county board of supervisors will vote on whether they want to formally support it. i think it's important for elected to take positions on certain items that are of a great importance. this is about our future and our children's future supervisor. karen. mitchell says prop 30 will lead to a healthier environment therefore she wants the county to take a stand in support it.

this also is an opportunity for us to take a position and show that contra costa county is a leader in going to a green and clean environment if passed prop 30 would raise taxes on people making over two million a year that money would go to fund electric vehicles charging stations and wildfire prevention rideshare company lift would also receive part of that funding proposition 30 is being backed by the state democratic party, but governor newsom is against it because he doesn't like that lift is receiving tax dollars. this is something where i don't think we really need to take a stand on it be of all the all the things on the ballot out there. this isn't one that i think we should be supporting supervisor, kansas anderson says, california spends billions already on electric charging and wildfire mitigation. she thinks raising taxes. to spend money on something the state already funds does not deserve an endorsement from the county. i'm not a big fan.

of supervisor mitchov says she understands the disagreements on funding, but she thinks it will help many californians including residents in contra costa county when all is said and done this is going to provide millions of dollars to help those who can't afford electric vehicles get electric vehicles because we have got to move away from a fossil fuel economy in the east bay ryan curry abc 7 news. after the break we're introducing you to the nation's first, exclusively mexican wine bar. you're going to hear from a man behind the san francisco restaurant on a mission to elevate the perception of mexican food. stay with us.

francisco's inner richmond, but he wanted a place to elevate the perception of mexican food. so with the help of his brother and other associates, he opened this restaurant a few blocks away from his taqueria. it's built as the first exclusively mexican wine bar in the united states. we have a total 61 most of them. i'm from bailed valle de guadalupe is mexico's premier wine growing region. it's about a 90-minute drive south of the mexican border with san diego a lot of different soils weather patterns that are different than here than europe a lot of those same grapes are grown there so they react differently to that most of the wineries there have only been around for years or less that means they are not tied to tradition. and that has led to more experimentation. you're getting a remix of some of these grapes. they want people traditionally know but you get a different version of them. would you say like the fruit like really bright like

raspberries strawberries nicest to the d 100% move address which like i'm used to that being from france. so it's really cool interesting to try it from a completely different region. so why aren't mexican? wine who he's only produce 50 to 100 cases of a particular wine, so they don't get exported. there's also some bias against mexican spirits that aren't tequila mezcal or beer some people have stereotypes, but the quality is there there's some amazing amazing wine. that's just absolutely delicious people just need to try it without judging it ahead of time perception is also something carrillo encountered with the food you won't find tacos or burritos on the menu instead. there's lamb shank season with a smoked pepper sauce or braised duck in a roasted pumpkin seed sauce mexican food is the sauce apparently with a wine is amazing. so if you want to compare the french compared with the reduces like italians is the tomato

sauce cream sauce, but here we don't use any of those we use basically spices. it's food. he grew up eating in mexico's yuc. atan region. i just want to share with everyone like this is what i'm used to eat like back home. this is the casino what i know. the animal end is abc 7 news. okay, the wine looks amazing, but the food too. i was gonna say is it time for dinner and drinks? alright, and it's a nice fall day today. it is a great time of year. always meteorologist. say the patel is here the forecast a little bit of a bummer about the blue angels yesterday, but still great weather. yeah. i know, you know the fog can be very fickle dan and alma as you both know, but there's always for the blue angel. for showtime. here's a look at live doppler 7. i do want to show you something that is interesting. i know it's fall, but we have a mix of snow showers and thunderstorms in the sierra taking a closer. look. it's really nice to see that we're beginning to see a change in our pattern no rain in our
