to the fight against drugs. >> always live abc seven news starts right now. >> following the money tonight seven on your side investigates what could have been done to help californians insure their homes. >> it's very unfortunate. >> it's shocking. we don't know what the alternative would be. >> why did state lawmakers kill two bills aimed at helping homeowners? good evening. i'm ama daetz, and i'm dan ashley. >> thanks for joining us. seven on your side investigates is dedicated to bringing you transparency and holding elected officials accountable. one of the most pressing issues facing california today, as you may know personally, is the insurance crisis. at least seven of the state's property insurer, like state farm and allstate, have either dropped out of california altogether or are only providing limited fire coverage. >> and as seven on your side. stephanie sierra found two bills that aim to reduce insurance costs for consumers just failed in the state legislature. >> stephanie is here now with more on the money trail behind

the vote. stephanie. >> yes, dan and ama. there's a lot of it. supporters say these two bills would have paved the way for more transparency and lower costs to californians who are actually putting in the work to reduce wildfire risks around their home. but both of those bills failed, and we found the group of lawmakers who opposed them are getting millions of dollars from the insurance industry. >> this is where the palm tree was. >> tom grossman lives in the oakland hills. he's transformed his palm tree property from this to this. >> it went right up and the leaves were into the window. we have the five foot noncombustible zone adjacent to the house. very few oily plants keep these cut back really tight. >> $15,000 worth of fire mitigation. >> we don't want our house to burn down. >> when he first moved here in 2017, our old insurance company in danville refused to touch any houses in this area. now, seven years later, getting insurance up here is difficult to impossible. he says six of his neighbors have already been dropped by their insurance

provider this year, despite investing tens of thousands of dollars into their property eyes. two bills that aim to prevent that failed in the state legislature this summer. no assembly bill 2416 would have rewarded homeowners with insurance discounts if certain mitigation efforts are met. >> senator becker and senate bill 1060 would have required insurers using risk models for underwriting to not only account for mitigation efforts, but require the insurance department to make the reports and evaluations public to enhance transparency. >> but the critics of these bills argue they're too complicated and confusing. >> like we are feelings. >> state senator josh becker, the author of sb 1060, told seven on your side. he did not bring it up for a final hearing because it didn't have the votes. we found becker received more than $417,000 from finance, insurance and real estate industries since assuming office. that's according to nonprofit and watchdog group

follow the money, an organization that tracks campaign contributions funneled to candidates from individuals and political action committees. >> i think the companies didn't want it to pass. they don't want any more burdens on them. >> it's very unfortunate. >> seven on your side investigates found eight state senators voted no on becker's bill, with three others absent for the vote. that group of 11 lawmakers received a combined total of more than $4 million from finance, insurance and real estate industries. since assuming political office. that's according to an i-team analysis of a report compiled by follow the money, a $4 million. >> an awful lot of money in a state legislature to give to a less than a dozen legislators because the contribution limits are so low, it means that they really, really mobilized. >> seven on your side found all of the legislators who voted against senator becker's bill represent districts with high fire risk areas where insurance

companies have dropped or restricted issuing policies. >> it's shocking if you're not taking into consideration those type of wildfire prevention tactics, then what are you modeling? what are you doing? it doesn't make any sense. >> the politician who received the most money, more than $866,000 from those industries, is state senator janet wynn, who represents district 36, encompassing parts of orange county, including laguna niguel, where at least 20 homes were destroyed last year during the coastal fire. we reached out for comment as to why she voted against the bill, but have yet to hear back. another lawmaker who voted no, state senator brian dolly, whose district encompasses areas of the 2015 butte fire. the 2020 bear fire. the 2021 dixie fire, and the deadliest fire in the state's history. the 2018 camp fire. senator, you know firsthand the struggle your constituents are

facing when it comes to getting home insurance. why did you vote no on sb 1060? >> well, 1060 is a very complicated bill that didn't really make sense, and it was basically the author pulled the bill because he, he didn't have the votes because it wasn't something that was going to help californians. >> well, the bill would have required insurance companies to factor in mitigation efforts for homeowners. how is that not helping californians? >> there was a lot of things in that bill that, a lot of moving pieces. it was very complicated and somewhat not workable with what the governor was trying to do through his executive orders. and that's why the bill died, and that's why i voted against it. >> the governor's office told seven on your side. that's not true. we received the following statement saying the governor supported sb 1060 and any current executive orders would not have conflicted with this legislation. senator dolly has helped secure millions of dollars for wildfire prevention projects and has introduced legislation to support fuel mitigation in his district. but

he says he doesn't believe mandating private companies to do more is the solution. >> but at the end of the day, putting more onerous restrictions on companies and the legislature is not the answer. >> according to follow the money. senator dolly received more than $570,000 from finance, insurance and real estate industries since assuming office in the state assembly in 2012. that's 56% of all the money he's received while in office. at any point in those discussions with insurance industry representatives. have you ever felt they've influenced your decision on any vote? >> not at all. >> i want to drive down the cos. you can only drive down the cost. and when you take the risk away. so you're talking about driving down costs. >> do you agree that mandating insurance companies to factor in mitigation efforts would help with that? >> you can require them to do anything you want, and that happens here every day. but they just stop writing policies. they just move out of the state. that's not an option either. >> you know, senator, i don't

feel like i got an answer to that question. do you support the idea? >> look, i've been supporting the ability to do preventive maintenance. i think that's a great idea that idea is currently underway in oakland with the fire safe council, a volunteer group that works to reduce wildfire risks in the neighborhood. >> tom's neighbor, marty kaplan, is doing things like removing all the highly flammable juniper around his property. >> substantial cost at least $100,000 to do that work. and it makes us wonder what about people who can't afford these mitigation efforts and the people who can't even get insurance? >> now, north bay assembly member damon connolly authored one of the bills that failed, and he says it received bipartisan support. and he didn't know why the bill was not heard for a final vote in the senate. but we did some digging and found the senate majority leader, lina gonzalez, filed the move to quash the bill before its vote, and she received more than $200,000 from insurance

related industries. we're still waiting to hear back from her, but i can tell you both becker and connolly will be reintroducing those pieces of legislation next session. >> okay, okay. thank you. stephanie. >> now, if you have an issue you'd like seven on your side. to investigate, go to abc seven news.com/7 on your side. that's also where you'll find this story. >> well cooler weather and lighter winds are helping to reduce fire danger here today. there is even a chance of wet weather this week. >> here's abc seven news meteorologist sandhya patel with a look at the forecast. sandhya. >> yeah, dan. and i know it sounds strange in september, but we do get a few showers like we did today. i want to show you live doppler seven. the low is still spinning over california and spinning up some showers in northern california and some snow in the sierra. if you were with us last friday, you know that there was a winter weather advisory for parts of the sierra and that certainly verified here locally. we saw some showers move through earlier this morning, and you can see just another band of showers coming towards the mendocino county

area at this hour. so we show you the local radar here. and we do have some cloud cover gathering. here's a look at the rainfall totals. ben lohman 17 hundredths of an inch in the last 24 hours. la honda, a little less than that four hundredths. mount diablo, half moon bay, 100th of an inch and trace amounts in napa and livermore. here is a look at what you can expect so that low moves out. here comes our next system on wednesday and it's going to bring us an opportunity for wet weather. dan i'm going to be back with a timeline coming right up. >> oh we'll see you then. sandhya, thanks very much. breaking news. a 4.8 earthquake just hit texas. the epicenter is near ackerly. that's about 300 miles west of dallas and roughly 80 miles south of lubbock. the quake was felt as far away as new mexico. some near the epicenter. described the shaking as strong to the usgs. there are no reports of any damage or injuries at this moment. >> coming up next, we are joined live by abc seven news insider phil matier. he is talking public safety improvements in san francisco. are they making a

difference and building a better bay area? also ahead, i'm cornell bernard in marin county, where a popular beach is closed indefinitely due to

cisco police department's toolbox. this area is being monitored for the safety and security of the citizens of san francisco. city leaders today announced a mobile security unit program that includes three cameras on trailers that will be used for round the clock security monitoring. the system includes floodlights, strobes and a speaker as you heard. these cameras will be placed in the south of market and mission districts, as well as a third location to be determined. they'll be used along with automated license plate reader cameras, fixed security cameras, and drones. mayor london breed, who is running for reelection, says the city anticrime efforts are working with car break ins down 70% from last june. she says crime overall is at its lowest level in ten years. now for some added perspective on

all of this, let's bring in abc seven news insider phil matier. >> he joins us live via zoom. phil, the numbers may show crime is down, but you get the sense that people feel safer in the city. i'm not sure that's the case. >> oh no, i would say it depends on who you talk to. and when's the last time somebody got their car window busted into, or their home burglarized, or walk by a store as somebody was walking out with a bag full of merchandise that they shoplifted? you're absolutely right. there is a difference between data and perception, and even the data, although, is as good as it is with overall crime down a third, property crimes dropping violent crimes dropping over the last couple of years. the fact of the matter is that san francisco and other bay area cities and cities across the country experience such a increase in crime. a few years back, that now that it's dropping, it still doesn't necessarily feel that way. and that's why one out of three voters in san francisco say public safety is the number one issue in the upcoming mayor's race. >> you hear it all the time for

people we run into on the street. 40 niners. rookie ricky pearsall, of course, was shot in union square during an apparent attempted robbery two weeks ago with just a single incident. but of course, because of his famous stature, it made headlines all over the world and was just another blow to the perception in san francisco. how long does it take the city to overcome something like that? >> quite a while. quite a while. once you have made that impression, it it lasts. and tourist dan, i will tell you that tourists even now at hotels and in interviews or or surveys, still raise a concern about the safety of san francisco streets. but when they get here, they feel very safe. they say, what was it all about? because perception is a large part of it. and that's what the mayor is also, you know, pushing back on. and it's not just with these, these, these cameras. they're not going to change the world this week. dreamforce is having the huge convention, what, 45,000 people in downtown san francisco. the police are out in force. it's all hands on deck

down there. the ambassadors are out in force as well, to make sure everybody is safe at the convention and going to their hotels. and even the governor has chipped in 50 highway patrol officers to help it all, to keep it safe, but also to prevent another image like the one we saw with ricky pearsall going out into the public. >> and phil, i mean, it's an election year, you know, london breed has challengers in this mayoral race. if this was another year, would we see different action from the city? you think? >> you know, i was thinking back to the last time we had a competitive race for mayor. and back then, one of the big issues was the thought that people were that the police were overstepping, that they were doing too much enforcement. it was time to roll back, maybe even defund the police. that's not the case right now. it's an election year. and they're all saying it's not a question of the police doing too much. it's a question of can they do more? can they do more, and can they do more? so that's not just a difference in technology. it's a difference in attitude. oh for

sure. >> that has changed the last couple of years. all right phil, thanks very much. >> and we want to help give you the full picture of public safety where you live with our abc seven neighborhood safety tracker, our interactive tool has a wide variety of data for san francisco, oakland and san jose. you can find it all right on the front page of our website, abc7 news.com. >> well, you could feel the cool this weekend. >> a big change. let's get to meteorologist sandhya patel for what's coming our way. sandhya. yeah, we're going to continue to feel like fall around here for a few more days. ama and dan, let me show you a live picture right now from homewood, where it is a little breezy up there, certainly still lingering clouds. they have had some snow in the parts of the sierra. not everywhere, but you will notice where that snow has been falling. it has been right around the homewood area. excuse me. yosemite area. as we take a look a little bit tighter here, you'll see the showers, snow showers around tioga pass. and that winter weather advisory that was up for that region. certainly verified. northern california is still seeing some showers, as you will notice, as

that low still spinning right over the state. it is going to push on out of here. and once it does, we get a little break before the next system comes in. yeah i know, sounds very crazy, but it's not that crazy. let me show you live doppler seven here. locally we do have some clouds gathering. their other system that is coming in will bring us another opportunity for some showers. as early as wednesday. it's certainly not as windy as it was in the last 24 hours. we saw wind gusts 45 to 50 miles an hour across parts of the bay area. right now, mountain view on shore 23 miles an hour, showing you a live view from our skystar camera where we are seeing a few high, thin, wispy clouds mixing in with the sun. the city is at 61 oakland hayward 66 degrees san jose 71 right now and 59 in half moon bay. these high temperatures today anywhere from 10 to 15 degrees below average. and we're going to stay about five to about 12 degrees below tomorrow as well. live view from our east

bay hills camera. and some clouds are beginning to regroup right now. 69 in santa rosa, 68 in napa 64 petaluma. low 70s fairfield, concord and livermore. santa cruz camera showing you a little bit of haze out there tomorrow. sun, clouds still below average. wednesday. we have a chance of showers. and this weekend, autumn arrives on sunday. even though we're getting a little taste of it earlier, here's a look at the hourly forecast. 7:00 tonight. just some clouds going through as we head towards tomorrow morning. the clouds fill back in. we get some spotty drizzle to start the day and then for the afternoon and evening, clouds will be on the increase ahead of our next system coming in. 40s and seconds out the door tomorrow morning you'll need that extra layer. your kids. if you are taking them off to school, make sure they have a light extra layer as well. tomorrow afternoon. hang on to that layer because low 60s is all we're going to for half moon bay. mostly cloudy there, partly cloudy inland. it's going to be a mix of sun and clouds, but a mild day inland. mid seconds for our warmest spots. now here comes wednesday. that next system brings us a few spotty

showers. at least a chance. 8:00 in the morning again by around 11 a.m. and that spotty shower chance continues into the early afternoon before this system pushes on out of here. the biggest difference with this system is not as windy. sierra snow levels will be higher, about 9000ft and higher. and here's a look at the accuweather seven day forecast. below average tomorrow again wednesday. chance of showers wednesday. then we're going to brighten it up. warm it up towards the end of the workweek. taking you into the weekend when fall begins and we bring on the heat 90 sunday, monday, inland 60s and 70s for the first day of fall. yeah, i mean, you know, that's the way we roll, dan and i like it. >> thanks, andy. >> all right, coming up next, funding for the future. >> who's helping pay for electric boats for san francisco bay ferry servic

almost every year he was in office. he was even caught taking donations from people he would then appoint to commissions, including a felon convicted of bribery. san francisco's challenges demand urgency, not more of the same failed insiders.

a record close as traders await a big decision from the federal reserve. the index gained 228 points to end trading at 41,622, an all time high. the nasdaq dropped 91 points. the s&p gained seven points. investors are trying to gauge the likelihood of a large rate cut from the fed. that announcement is expected wednesday. today, it was tiktok and the u.s. government in court, as the department of justice fights to potentially have the app banned, calling it a national security threat. but the social media giant says a proposed ban on the app is unconstitutional. president biden signed a law months ago giving tiktok's parent company bytedance until january to sell its u.s. operations or face a ban. it's because bytedance is a chinese company. there are concerns the chinese government could gain access to the information of u.s. citizens. bytedance says the law violates free speech rights in the u.s. and bytedance says even if it finds a buyer, a sale won't happen by the deadline congress has set.

tiktok is used by nearly half of all americans. >> the bay area's effort to get the nation's first high speed electric ferries is getting a boost from the federal government. a san francisco bay ferry today announced it was awarded an $11 million grant. the money will help the agency buy three 150 passenger battery electric vessels. delivery of the first electric ferry is expected in 2026. travel by rail bart says its transbay tube is now retrofitted for an earthquake. bart today shared new video from inside the rail tunnel. the agency's general manager says the transbay tube can now withstand the type of earthquake that is projected to occur only once in a thousand years. >> the transbay tube, now has a stronger steel lining. it has a more powerful and robust pumping system that will protect itself against even stronger earthquakes. >> the transbay tube opened 50 years ago. it's about four miles

long, connecting san francisco and oakland. of course, today's announcement brings an end to the bart's 20 year earthquake safety program. it cost $1.5 billion and included the retrofitting of more than 74 miles of track and 34 stations. >> more than 10% of san francisco voters identify as latino. next, the push to get them to the polls here, in their own words, how they feel about the upcoming election. >> plus, getting help to make history. how the federal government is investing in the future ideas of students right here in the ba

supporters of donald trump unveiled a new banner that reads the swamp is alive. it now hangs off one of the overpasses along highway 24. that banner going up one day after a second assassination attempt, driver walked straight back. dramatic new video released today shows florida law enforcement detaining the man the fbi says attempted to assassinate former trump president trump yesterday

at his florida golf course. investigators say ryan wesley, ruth was near the golf course for 12 hours waiting for trump to appear. the secret service agent spotted the barrel of his rifle and was able to scare him away. ruth was arrested shortly afterward. >> the subject, who did not have line of sight to the former president, fled the scene. he did not fire or get off any shots. >> ruth was charged today on two firearms counts. he was previously convicted in north carolina on a weapons charge. the fbi continues to look for a motive. ruth voted for trump in 2016, but was later critical of the former president for his tepid support of ukraine after russia's invasion. well, we are 50 days away until the election now, and this year, for the first time, san francisco residents will vote for mayor on the same day they select a president. yeah, it's thanks to prop h, which voters passed in 2022 to move local elections to even numbered years to match up

with presidential elections. >> there's hope it will attract more people to the polls. >> yeah, there is a concerted effort to mobilize the latino vote to in previous years, there's been a lack of engagement among latinos. that's right. >> abc seven news reporter lyanne melendez is here to tell us what's changing. leanne. >> yeah, well, when it comes to latino voters, don't assume that they're going to vote one way or the other, or that they're going to vote at all. for example, voters young voters have told me that they are disenchanted and are going to stay home despite so much riding on these elections. now for the older latinos in san francisco, crime and even illegal immigration are big issues and some will be voting for more conservative candidates when it comes to the mayor's race and even the presidential election. through music, latinos express their identity. sharing a meal is a way to connect with others. talking about politics is a byproduct. what's different about these elections,

>> there's nothing too different besides it being overly politically charged and everyone's at each other's throats. hugo monge told us he's discouraged and is skipping the november election. >> latinos represent nearly 11% of san francisco voters, yet many feel they are not being courted by local politicians. feeling somewhat marginalized. >> we don't see anybody here. it's just a constant issue that kind of gets brushed under the rug. >> when was the last time you saw a mayoral candidate here in the mission? >> i can't say that i have. >> generations of latinos here have typically voted democratic. yet issues like crime and drug use in san francisco have led to a slight shift in how they vote take guillermo castaneda, a longtime owner of a salvadoran restaurant. he's seen el salvador go from one of the most dangerous, crime ridden

countries in the world to one of the safest. after right wing president nayib bukele took office. bukele has also been criticized for human rights abuses. will you be voting for somebody who is leaning towards fighting crime because of what has happened in el salvador? >> absolutely. absolutely. 100% sure about it. having a business in in this area, it turned into like a nightmare. >> for months, the area near his business was plagued by fencing operations and illegal street vendors. on a national level, castaneda told us he's voting for donald trump. perhaps not as surprising as 1st may think. is the divide that exists among latinos when it comes to illegal immigration and border security. the owner of this brick and mortar, a latina, says the city should not allow any latino newcomer to sell products on the streets, even with a permit. when it comes to younger latinos

in san francisco, many feel disconnected from both parties. >> i think a lot of young people are feeling like not morally correct, voting for either candidate right now. so it's really hard. just like for us to pick a side. >> salvadorans represent the second largest latino population in san francisco. aminta calderon, who is 73, will be voting in her first u.s. election since becoming a u.s. citizen. she favors kamala harris. >> she's buenas intenciones para con la humanidad. >> she believes harris has good intentions on a local level. calderon is still waiting for any one of the mayoral candidates to win her over. and the main complaint i hear from many latino residents living in the mission district is the lack of interest coming from the mayoral candidates. now they say there is little outreach there. while candidates are focusing instead on other neighborhoods, and they believe this is a

missed opportunity, they want to be heard, but they're not seeing them coming. feeling left out? yeah, yeah. >> okay, leon. thank you. >> well, today, san jose state university got a visit from a key member of president biden's cabinet. u.s. health and human services secretary xavier becerra launched a new initiative aimed at creating health breakthroughs. abc seven news south bay reporter zach fuentes has more on how it hopes to help not just csu students, but people all around the world. >> san jose state is the home of past, present and future innovators and leaders, students who've come from diverse backgrounds. our childhood was shaped by gravel streets, railroad tracks and agriculture fields. >> from an early age, my parents instilled in me the value of higher education. >> today, antonio fernandez is president of sdsu's society of latino engineers and scientists. now, students like him have been presented with a big opportunity to create historic health breakthroughs. >> we have some of the most vibrant opportunities to really

change the dynamic we see when it comes to the sciences and engineering. >> the opportunity launched monday, is a new health initiative that would increase access to government funding for early career researchers, all part of a partnership with san jose state and other california universities to specifically target our resources to innovators who have not historically had access to dc to r&d dollars. the advanced research projects agency for health, also known as arpa, is behind the initiative. the agency is already responsible for incredible research. >> we just launched an initiative to detect 30 different cancer types at stage one at home. >> arpa has launched other projects that include looking at ways people can regenerate their own tissue, like cartilage in the knee, and much more. >> we're working with one of the schools here in california to print organs on demand. >> nearly a third of sdsu's population is latino. becerra says he hopes the funding can make education more equitable. >> students who are the future have an opportunity to be the

ones that help figure out how to generate your own cartilage, your own tissue. we do that. no one touches us when it comes to being the leaders in health, innovation and science. >> the agency says the funding will also help community organizations address local health needs. how much funding is handed out is still to be determined. the agency is getting feedback from early career investigators, school administrators and more through late next month. the funding will be available later this year. in san jose. zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> fewer people are dying of drug overdoses in san francisco. the department of public health says 45 people died of overdoses in august. that's a 50% drop from the previous year. health officials credit, street outreach teams. >> they can get you a physician on the phone to come up with a treatment plan. in many cases, get you a room to stay, for a few days and get your prescription filled. >> overall, this year, there's been a 20% drop in accidental overdose deaths. but there is a

new worry emerging in july and august, methamphetamine overdoses nearly equaled fentanyl overdoses. one positive note san francisco reports a 35% increase in people getting into residential treatment programs. >> coming up here, contamination has shut down bolinas beach. but what's the cause? from septic tanks to sea level rise. we're looking into the possibilities. >> plus, the final words heard from the titan submersible right before it imploded underwater, killing all five people discover the ozempic® tri-zone. ♪ ♪ i got the power of 3. i lowered my a1c, cv risk, and lost some weight. in studies, the majority of people reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. i'm under 7. ozempic® lowers the risk of major cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attack, or death in adults also with known heart disease. i'm lowering my risk. adults lost up to 14 pounds. i lost some weight. ozempic® isn't for people with type 1 diabetes. don't share needles or pens, or reuse needles. don't take ozempic® if you or your family ever had

nearby cliff. we're talking about bolinas beach. abc seven news reporter cornell bernard went there and found many locals are hoping the problem can be fixed, and the beach reopened. >> when i heard that there was sewage coming down, it kind of is a little terrifying. >> craig fagan says it sounds as gross as it is human waste.

recently discovered by marin county crews seeping from the cliffs above bolinas beach. the beach is now closed off limits to people and pets. >> uh- makes me a little sad because i do like to surf out here at bolinas, which is sort of why i came out today. but it is now closed right here at the break, so probably won't go in. >> this map shows the beach closure, which stretches about a mile and a half from brighton avenue north to agate beach. so we've been in bolinas for the better part of the morning, and so far i can't smell anything weird, but signs everywhere definitely tell you that something dangerous is happening. >> after testing a few different sources along that bluff, we found that the substance was actually wastewater. it contained e-coli and other bacteria that aligns itself with human waste. >> county officials say the sewage flow is happening at several dozen locations. >> three of those together would result in about 43,000 gallons of wastewater delivered to the ocean daily. >> officials say most of the

releases have happened during high tide. the biggest question is where is it coming from? that's still unclear. >> we do know that that community is on septic systems. however, we haven't concluded if that's the exact cause. is it a failing system? is it something else? you know, we also have to look at natural causes. if there's shifting of the soils, if there's erosion. >> at a recent community meeting, neighbors were very concerned about how long the beach will be closed. >> the community a very serious event. we're all really concerned that this could turn into a three year beach closure. >> local businesses are feeling it. bolinas beachgoers are an economic driver during summer months. >> like i said, it's very concerning. we don't know much. it has been pretty quiet. >> testing and mitigation measures continue at the cliffs. it's not clear when bolinas beach could reopen in marin county. cornell, bernard. abc seven news. >> we learned today the final words from the crew on that experimental submersible that imploded, killing everyone on board. the last words from the
