keep all of our bridges uh- going in, you know, for perpetuity. >> it's going to make it too expensive for me to get to work. >> this is outrageous, is what i think. >> the proposal to raise tolls on most bay area bridges, sending it to double digits in just a few years. >> why haven't you helped me? and how many other victims are out there? >> lost money. but who's to blame? seven on your side investigates, and scientists uncover a new alternative to

narcan and say it could save even more lives in the fight against opioid overdoses. >> good afternoon, i'm kristen z. >> and i'm larry beil. thanks for joining us. uh- sad to say, you better get ready to pay more to cross bay area bridges. today, a proposal was presented for a toll increase that would affect the bay bridge, the richmond-san rafael and san mateo bridges, along with the antioch, benicia, martinez, carquinas and dumbarton bridges. >> the current toll is $7. in january, it will go up to $8 under this new proposal. bridge tolls will go up as high as 1150 for drivers who pay by invoice by 2030. abc seven news reporter zach fuentes has all the details. >> bay area bridges are iconic landmarks recognized around the world, but they're expensive to maintain. >> many of those bridges are now again to put it in human terms, they are now senior citizens and to pay for the maintenance, preservation and operation of the bridges. >> the metropolitan transportation commission and

bay area toll authority are looking to increase tolls. >> the thinking is that rather than uh- a one time, $2 and 50 cent increase uh- to roll it out, introduce it over five years in smaller chunks that the pain would be uh- felt less acutely. >> here's a breakdown of what the tolls would be if approved starting january 1st, 2026. tolls for all regular two axle cars and trucks would increase to $8.50, then increases over the next few years depending on how drivers pay. tolls. for customers with fast track tags, the price would rise to $9. in 2027, it would increase each year by $0.50 until it stops at 1050 by 2030. for customers with a preregistered license plate account in 2027, the price would increase to $9.25, stopping at 1075 by 2030. for those with invoiced tolls, the price stops at 1150. in 2030. many bay area

commuters have strong opinions about the proposal. >> it's going to make it too expensive for me to get to work. it's already too expensive to pay to park here. >> on the one hand, they want return to work on the other hand, they want to raise the price so that it's prohibitively expensive for people to come to work. they've got to pick one of the two. this is outrageous, is what i think. >> goodwin says public input is part of the process moving forward, including a public webinar on november 13th. he says he expects this to be the last price hike drivers will see. >> for now, the long term modeling does not include another toll increase. >> the bay area toll authority is also considering changes for carpool lanes on the bridges, offering discounts for three or more people during peak times. the bay area toll authority plans to take action on the proposal at its december meeting in san francisco. zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> okay, so even if they go up, these tolls would not be the most expensive in the u.s. the chesapeake bay bridge e tunnel s the highest. it can cost as much as $21 during peak hours. the

verrazano narrows bridge in new york, which connects brooklyn and staten island, can be as much as $17.63 one way. same for new york's george washington bridge, and the golden gate bridge can cost as much as 1025. keep in mind those prices are for cars and motorcycles. a seven axle vehicle on the golden gate bridge can cost as much as $71.75. >> former alameda county district attorney nancy o'malley is speaking out in support of the recall of the current d.a, pamela price. abc seven news reporter anser hassan heard from both sides of the argument toda. >> for over 22 months, pamela price has been the district attorney, and she is not qualified nor competent to hold that position. >> former alameda county district attorney nancy o'malley announced she's backing the recall against the current d.a, pamela price. she made the announcement during an event hosted by the group safe, which is leading the recall effort

under pamela price's regime. >> she ignores the rights of victims. >> o'malley served as da from 2009 to 2023. price lost to o'malley in the 2018 election, but then won in 2022 after o'malley retired. price says she walked into an office that was dysfunctional. o'malley accuses price of using the office improperly, ignoring the law, and intimidating and discriminating against people who oppose her. >> she has undermined all of these programs that we put together and basically she has taken this district attorney's office to a place where it cannot function. >> o'malley claims price canceled restorative justice programs, which da price campaigned on simply because those programs were started by o'malley. >> some of those grants have gone away, and some of those grants did not get renewed. some of them she just from what i from what i understand, she just didn't have an interest in it. and because it was a program that i started.

>> one such program o'malley named is care's community assessment response and engagement. >> i have no idea what she's talking about other than the cares navigation center is the program that we rescued in 2023. >> da price fired back, refuting many of o'malley's claims, taking questions at a press conference held to update an ongoing prosecutorial misconduct case. price says the cares program just got a $6 million grant data, which is publicly available. she spoke of hiring experts to oversee various departments, such as those to help victims. >> there's no public secret that my predecessor was not helpful to us in our transition. what the public should know is that nancy o'malley represents the last desperate attempt to go back to a time when police officers, police unions, controlled this office. >> in oakland, anser hassan abc seven news. >> the future of school closures in san francisco is in limbo for

now, with the appointment of a new superintendent. the closure plan is halted for at least one year, but the district needs a balanced budget soon to avoid a state takeover. abc seven news reporter monica madden pressed leaders about the possibility of future closures at yuquot elementary. >> you'll find handmade signs of protest from students who don't want to see their school closed. >> a lot of people in a city that's very transient are looking for community. >> parent christy sampson has two young daughters at the school. >> it's been a whirlwind, to say the least. it's we kind of felt blindsided at first. >> she's hoping new leadership will mean different approaches to the district's multimillion dollar budget deficit. >> to get rid of small schools, you're getting rid of communities inside san francisco. there needs to be solutions. and with maria su coming in, i'm actually very hopeful that we can see some change in the district and that i believe in her. >> understandably, students, family and faculty have had a lot of questions about the future of their schools. that's

why we decided to come along with the mayor and the new superintendent to hear exactly what questions the students had for their leaders. >> oh, goodness. >> mayor london breed and new superintendent doctor maria su, touring yuquot on wednesday after announcing the district is pausing its closure plans. taking questions from those most impacted. we're not closing and explaining complex school finance questions on a fifth grade level for example, when you're doing decimals, you don't know what the answer is. >> you have to go through the problem to help solve it to get to the correct answer. >> we asked su if she's found that answer yet. can you feasibly promise to them that this school isn't going to close or merge going forward? >> i need to have more data and more information, as well as to make sure that we're having deep and honest conversations with our school community before we move forward with anything. >> for parents like sampson, you need to make sure that we have the stability. she's still looking for signs of certainty about the future of the

community. her family loves in san francisco. monica madden, abc seven news. >> for educators in the las lomitas elementary school district went on strike today. they held protest outside la entrada school and las lomitas elementary in menlo park. teachers say they've been working without a contract for more than a year, and some say they can no longer afford to live in the district with the rising costs of health care and the premiums increases, my paycheck is smaller today. >> after all these years. >> district officials offered a 5% salary increase plus $2,000 in additional health care benefits. teachers want a 10% increase. >> a group of tenants in san jose say they are living in inhumane conditions. residents of summerwind apartments held a rally outside the east san jose complex denouncing persistent problems. they say that includes a lack of hot water, broken elevators and security issues. and they say they've complained

to management with little results. >> they responded by giving cheap and ineffective repairs and have property management intimidate and question tenants individually. >> the tenants have filed a complaint with the city, and they want to negotiate repairs as a group. abc seven news has reached out to summerwind management. we have not heard back yet. >> a former fraternity house at stanford is being recognized for its role in the civil rights movement. sigma chi house is now a california historic site and eligible for national recognition back in 1965. the sigma chi chapter pledged a black student and the student battled against the national organization after it decertified the chapter for integrating. eventually, the federal government threatened to withdraw funding from schools that allowed student associations to discriminate. >> coming up on abc seven news at four, a new tool in the fight against fentanyl. it could help save lives. so you pay your taxes and then you find out the irs says you didn't pay them. so

fentanyl crisis, bringing users back from a potential overdose

more quickly and effectively than ever before. abc seven news anchor julianne glover learned how it works for years. >> first responders have relied on the drug naloxone also known as narcan, to prevent overdose deaths from heroin and fentanyl. it works by blocking opioid receptors from absorbing the drug. but now, researchers at the lawrence livermore lab say they've developed an effective treatment that works differently. >> our molecule is different in a way that it goes into your bloodstream, and what it does is like a pacman molecule. it catches fentanyl before it reaches the target. >> chemist carlos valdes and biologist mike malfatti were part of the team that developed the drug, called subutex. rather than blocking receptors, they say it actually binds directly to the opioid itself, effectively neutralizing it and allowing it to be flushed out of the body more quickly. in non-human testing, they say it cuts specific recovery times in half from a little over 35

minutes to about 17 minutes for fentanyl. >> if you come across someone who has overdosed, you can also use this drug to sequester the fentanyl and get it out of the body quicker. >> they say the drug stays active for much longer than narcan, preventing a potential relapse without a second dose. but since the drugs worked differently, the team believes there's even a potential to use them in combination. a powerful new weapon in an ongoing public health crisis. >> so that's where the lab kind of came in and was interested in is, you know, can we use this, you know, in, in a larger scenario at lawrence livermore? >> julian glover abc seven news. >> so the livermore drug is not currently approved by the fda, but researchers say it was developed from another drug that is fda approved. and that can typically speed up the process. >> all right. now to another scientific discovery. researchers say your dishwasher. yes, your dishwasher could unlock a solution to global warming. they believe that microbes found in dishwashers and showerheads could be used to

help carbon capture carbon dioxide or break down pollution. carbon capture is one of the world's top emerging technologies, but the research in this project is only at the beginning, states faster internet service is coming to chinatown and other san francisco neighborhoods. >> this morning, san francisco's finance committee accepted a $10 million grant from the california public utilities commission to install fiber internet in chinatown, the tenderloin and bayview neighborhoods. this will bring faster internet to 47 affordable housing sites and 400 other homes with lower income residents. >> we found that the largest internet provider in the city offers slower plans in poor neighborhoods for the same price as faster plans in wealthier neighborhoods. >> the cpuc is allocating another $22 million to expand broadband service in fremont and oakland. >> another glorious day throughout the bay area. >> i know i would just keep it

the same, but spencer, you might make some little tweaks for us, right? >> i don't have that power, but i'll do what i can. let me try to explain what's happening. here's a look at our satellite radar composite image. there are disturbances out at sea that are moving generally in our direction, but not close enough yet to impact the mild, pleasant weather we're having. although our wind speeds are increasing now, they're going to continue to increase going into the evening hours. and the wind flow will shift to a northeasterly coming out of the northeast. and that's going to mean as the winds go downslope over the hills and mountains, the air compresses. they get drier. so with the increasing wind and the declining humidity during these hours tonight and overnight, we have heightened fire concerns. no red flag warning in effect, just heightened concern for fire. and right now, as we look at the fire danger index, you can see going into the early evening hours, most of the bay area is in that low to moderate range. but later going into the early morning hours over in parts of napa county and solano county, they'll be in the moderate to high danger range. and then at times in the early

morning hours, parts of the east bay and the santa cruz mountains as well. but generally, as the winds decrease, tomorrow will be out of that high danger range back into the low danger range. so let's move along. take a live view from the sutro tower camera looking out over san francisco, where it's 65 degrees right now we have low to mid 70s at oakland and hayward and redwood city, 82 at san jose and 64 at half moon bay. nice view from mount tam looking down onto the bay. a little haze off in the distance there. 82 right now in santa rosa, petaluma and napa in the mid 70s and we have low to mid 80s at fairfield, concord and livermore. so there's lots of warmth around and a blue sky over the golden gate for now. and these are our forecast headlines next few days, mainly bright skies with more autumn warmth tonight into tomorrow morning. heightened fire danger, as i mentioned. and then sunday and monday it will be cooler with chances of drizzle in some areas, but for tonight no drizzle likely. mainly clear skies. overnight lows will be generally in the low 50s. farther north, a little cooler. lows of 42 at santa rosa and 46

at napa. then tomorrow look for another mainly bright sky over mild conditions. highs ranging from 66 half moon bay to 71. in san francisco. mid 70s around the bay shoreline, upper 70s to around 80 in the warmest inland areas. now let's look ahead with the futurecast. is the massive clouds and moisture approaching the bay area? you'll see late saturday into sunday some light drizzle or showers may develop in the north bay. basically looks like sunday and then possibly into monday morning before it all scatters about and moves out of the bay area. so here's the accuweather seven day forecast. we're looking at dry conditions and mild conditions through saturday with inland highs once again in the low 80s, which is pretty mild for this time of the year. but a little bit cooler on sunday as clouds increase and that's a possibility of drizzle. if it does occur, the drizzle looks like mainly a north bay event, but it could last into early monday morning before it all disappears, giving way to sunny skies all over again.

>> if you could just keep it like low 80s 70s that we'd be grateful. >> i'll take high 70s, please. >> well, yeah, i'll deliver for the highest bidder. >> okay, of course i'll bring those mythical cookies. how's that? >> oh, that sounds good. >> thank you. spencer. >> okay, new public art lands in san francisco. the meaning behind this exploding star. >> and an iconic part of the san francisco airport is set to be demolished. we'll

hamburgers suggest slivered onions may be to blame. so far, one person has died and about 50 people have gotten sick in ten different states. there are no cases in california reported. the restaurant chain has pulled the burgers from its menu in

some states. the cdc says the investigation is moving quickly. >> all right, so most of us have done this. in fact, this used to be the way we paid all of our bills. you mail a check and then you hope and pray it ends up in the right hands. >> but it didn't happen for one bay area man. he tried to pay his taxes, but his check never made it to the irs. >> so now the incident is raising questions about security protocols at wells fargo bank and seven on your side. stephanie sierra is here with what she. where's the money exactly? >> well, you know, so many things went wrong with this situation and the frustrating thing is it could happen to any of us. we all have to pay taxes, and many of us write checks to do it. the problem with this story is how the fraud occurred and the lack of accountability that followed. >> so this is the check that i wrote. >> like any law abiding citizen, jeff yates paid his taxes with a check addressed to the internal revenue service for $3,268. it was mailed in an envelope with proper postage in april of 2022, but unfortunately this time

around, unbeknownst to me, the irs never received my check. according to his wells fargo bank statement, it had been cashed, but it wasn't until a year later during the next tax season, that he realized it ended up in the wrong hands. yates was eligible for a refund, but the irs told him, well, sorry, you're not getting your money because we never received the check. >> where is this money? >> yates first called wells fargo to figure out where his funds went, but he says the bank refused to help him, stating too much time had passed to inquire or file a claim. how many times did you reach out to wells fargo? at least three times that i escalated it, or had it escalated to an executive level complaint, and all three times they denied my complaint. meantime, he tried getting answers from the irs after being on hold for hours, getting transferred and disconnected again and again, he says he showed up to the irs field office in san jose twice to explain his situation. >> and that guy said, sorry, i

can't help you. >> unfortunately for yates, wells fargo could only provide a blurry copy of the cash check, and the irs could not make out the locator number on it. to help. and to make matters worse, there is no signature like usually. >> i thought you're supposed to write your signature when you cash a check. >> yes. in fact, wells fargo requires that consumers depositing checks in store or via their mobile app must sign the back of the check before cashing in, according to the consumer financial protection bureau. generally, banks or credit unions will not accept a check that's not signed or at least return it to you. but that did not happen here. >> somebody just dropped the ball. >> we brought this to thomas tarter, a 50 year veteran of the banking industry who's been retained in more than 2000 cases involving big and small banks, including some about wells fargo and wells fargo internally would have a system to locate it, give details necessary for the consumer to give to the irs. jeff mailed the check at the

local post office on april 6th of 2022. 12 days later, it was cashed. yet his statement didn't show by whom or where. after getting no help from wells fargo, yates filed a report with the san jose police department. a search warrant uncovered his check was cashed in anaheim through a wells fargo atm and was quickly transferred out of the account. police say the individual had a criminal record. when you have the search warrant with evidence of what actually happened, and you share that with wells fargo, and they say what they didn't really address the fact that this money was stolen from their atm machine. >> somebody made a mistake, tarter says. >> in yates case, wells fargo is at fault. >> wells fargo should have taken immediate steps to refund the money to the customer, but again, that didn't happen. >> on october 8th this year, yates received a letter from wells fargo stating his third claim was denied because it was, quote, untimely reported. could you please call me back? seven

on your side investigates reached out to wells fargo for an interview, but the bank was unavailable to go on camera. >> i really felt that wells fargo was complicit in this theft of my money. it's money that, you know, goes to feed our family, and we just can't lose 3000 plus dollars. >> now, wells fargo did send us a statement saying they empathize with the customer's situation and never want to see anyone fall victim to fraud. yet the bank did nothing to help jeff here, and never admitted to the fact that their atm was used as a part of this fraud. the bank just added customers must file timely claims for any fraudulent transactions on their account. as for jeff, the only thing he can do now is take this up in small claims court. so we're talking about mistake after mistake after mistake. >> i mean timely, but how would he have known? right. >> exactly. you assume that you wrote the check and it made it to the irs, not some guy posing to be part of the irs or just slipping in the atm and getting paid. yeah. >> so frustrating.

>> all right. thanks, jeff. all right. >> of course it is the end of the line for an iconic part of san francisco international airport. and it's about to get a lot louder on your next flight. christian, i fly kristen sze flying somewhere together. the ford four's

a sad moment for some travelers who will miss a quirky walkway. now, if you've ever taken a united flight, you may have walked on this. the moving walkway that is cushiony, even bouncy. actress jennifer garner posted a video of herself doing ballet and jumping on a walkway. okay, uh- way to entertain yourself. the bouncing walkway will be demolished though. sorr, jennifer. on november 5th, they've got some other plans and

they've got some shortcuts. so you don't need the walkway. but when i get off of a flight and spencer, you fly a lot. i don't want some. i want to get up and walk. i want to, you know, whether it's walkway or just, you know, whatever. >> well, but you have the option because you don't have to take the walk. yeah, but but i enjoy that bouncy walkway and i've run and walked on it in both ways. outbound and inbound flights. i'll miss it when it's gone. yeah, i have to. it is. it is unusually bouncy for most walkways i've been on dozens of times. but, you know, onward and upward. the terminal does need kind of a bit of a facelift. it does? >> yeah. i didn't realize that level of bounce was unusual in airport walkways, but i do like it. yeah. yeah. all right. okay, so the future of flying is here, and it may not be what you had hoped. qatar airways has launched starlink internet on its planes, which will allow passengers to stream shows. but also make zoom and facetime calls. oh, yeah. qatar airways doesn't have a policy for usage, saying instead it expects

passengers to be respectful. united airlines will also roll out. can you hear me? >> can you hear me now? what time am i? i'm landing soon. i just want to give you a sense of what's going to happen when this takes. oh, yeah. >> so a funny story. i was on a flight coming back from hawaii, and i was talking to a producer here and talking about a bunch of things that we had to get done, blah, blah, blah. and sit down next to this guy. he's 84 years old, and he looks at me and he says, could you just be quiet? because i have no interest in anything that you are talking about? >> was that just on the phone? and before or after? >> that was before we had to take it off. wow. and you know, and i thought, oh, man, i'd like to, but i we became like, best friends by the end of the flight. oh, good. yeah. >> yeah. i mean, you know, it. you know, the stories say you can't use your cell phone because it's going to mess up the planes, which is not true. they just don't. that's not really true. they just didn't want this issue of people jabbering away the whole flight. it. you know, it's inevitable, probably that they're going to

do this and provide this service because some people will want it. we're just going to have to figure out how to be courteous with one another. >> there's no way to be, gosh, the person next to you zooming for an hour. come on now. >> you know, if people can can speak in a quiet tone if that would work, like, just like you're having a conversation. maybe. but you hear people. you hear people on planes shouting at each other. yeah. >> i mean, on first class, like spencer is okay, but with me and two inches from the guy next to me, that's too loud. >> even if you're whispering, you're not talking about me right now, right? i'm talking about you. have you started your new year's resolution yet? what now? may seem kind of odd, but it's a new trend called october theory. like orange theory, but october theory. so people are sharing on social media how they're using the last three months of the year to make changes and set goals. i guess this is how you ramp up to make an actual change in your life. experts say fall is a time for change and a good time to reassess where your life is headed. >> i feel like spring is a good time to do that, because you're sort of optimistic about the future, and i. fall is kind of a

different time of year in terms of your emotions. seems to me i mean, i love fall, but i don't know. seems like spring is a better time to reassess your life. the spring. spring makes sense. i mean, spring and fall are considered transitional seasons. sure. that's true. so i guess if you're if you're going to make significant changes in your life, it should be over a period of time. not like spur of the moment. i just made a resolution. >> you know, who amongst us makes resolutions and keeps them? i don't i don't know for. all right. >> okay. if you're above eating goldfish crackers, you might want to try their new line, chilean sea bass crackers. yeah. pepperidge farm is issuing a limited release with the fancy new name to remind consumers that the snack isn't just for kids. yes, they're exactly the same crackers. no actual chilean sea bass used in the making of them, but you can buy these crackers for one week only, and only online. >> wait wait wait wait. there's the same crackers, same things, but they're just calling them just a different bait and switch marketing. is that what's

happening here? >> i'm waiting for the caviar crackers. >> i you know what? it's so funny you said that i envision you just before you get on the first class flight is with your chilean sea bass cracker. a little caviar and some red wine, please. >> and a foot rub right there. yes, with my caviar, i prefer champagne. >> oh, okay. duly noted. i'll make sure that's. >> you know, i actually love goldfish. i haven't had them for a long time, but they're great. but this is just. this is just a marketing idea to get people to pay attention to them again and remind them that goldfish are still around. yeah. >> i wonder if they'll charge. >> we really need is wisecrackers. >> wisecrack. oh. thank you. well, we got one right here. right, right that way. >> that way. he's over there. exactly. yes. all right. spencer. caviar and champagne coming up. why not? yes. that's it

and research on pain relief, my recommendation is simple: every home should have salonpas. powerful yet non-addictive. targeted and long-lasting. i recommend salonpas. it's good medicine. ♪ hisamitsu ♪

abc seven news anchor dion lim is here with the story. hi dion, i love your props. >> kristen and larry straus family creamery just celebrated 30 years in operation and they've been making sustainable organic dairy products the same way since day one. but now, thanks to a trend called milk talk that started right here in san francisco, their business is booming. >> i am so excited and i was so perplexed at the social media phenomenon you're about to watch. oh, that's thick. >> that's san francisco resident peggy hsu using a spoon to scoop out the thick cream atop a

bottle of milk. >> wow, that looks so good. you know how it goes. cheers. >> but not just any milk. her favorite brand, petaluma based strauss. and because of her enthusiasm for the cream that rises to the top. >> do you see the cream top? >> her videos have gotten millions of views and started a tiktok dairy revolution known as milk talk. >> well, i never expected it to take off like this. and yeah, it's been so awesome seeing that it's had an impact on strauss too. >> so of course we had to make the trek up to sonoma county to get to the bottom of what this cream top really is. at a strauss family creamery facility in rohnert park, 25,000 gallons of milk get processed each day. >> so this is your tissot top famous product. >> the minimal processing and lack of homogenization or fat distribution means the cream rises to the top. it's how albert strauss has made milk for 30 years. >> i really appreciate and am excited by, you know, people

discovering that, you know, cream top milk is good for you. >> that discovery has led to massive demand. orders for their half gallon have doubled on the west coast. we are getting requests from around the world. >> it's been fantastic. never had anything like this before. >> albert hopes his newfound virality. it's really thick is a chance to share the strauss mission with the world. >> tiktok and things like that is an opportunity for us to be able to really talk about our model of a carbon neutral dairy farm model that's being replicated all over the world. >> as for peggy, who ironically has a touch of lactose intolerance, really, it's very mild compared to what it used to be. she plans to keep working her 9 to 5 tech job, all while spreading her love of strauss milk around the globe and expanding into content that helps other food related businesses. >> i genuinely just wanted to share something that i loved with other people, and i want to share something with you both. >> so we have some samples. i

actually did try this for the story. it is rich and creamy and i'm very curious to see what you think. it's high in protein. i mean it's very, very, very thick and very creamy. >> yeah. >> the recommendation was to maybe spread it on toast, mix it with jam, put it on scone right, like clotted cream in england. >> yeah. >> put it on your chocolate dessert. yeah, yeah. >> see where spencer with his caviar. >> oh, actually, it could be on a bellini. yeah. okay. and sea bass crackers. all right. >> we are starting a whole new. >> so how big is this trend on tiktok? >> millions. >> i mean, seriously, yes. >> why do you seem so incredulous? because you're not the cool kids. i know you're not like those tiktokers i know. >> yeah, i haven't i haven't been on tiktok. yes. >> so do we know how many calories? isn't that a little? >> it's best not to ask, but i was told i was told that it's good for me because i said, oh, is this healthy? and of course, mr. strauss himself said, yes. >> oh, so of course, then it

must definitely must be yes, because the person who is selling the milk says it's good for you and it's very shefs is a good product in its locals. >> yeah. >> it's organic, high in protei. okay. my gift to you both. >> okay. >> that's very sweet of you. >> enjoy. that's our dessert. dinner and dessert. thanks, john. thanks, thanks. >> all right. spencer didn't get a chance to participate in this. i feel so bad. >> i know i do, too. i mean, we got some nice caviar waiting for me. >> yeah, right. >> that'll be okay. let's take a look at what's happening with our weather tonight. we'll have mainly clear skies. winds will pick up a bit, and that may increase fire concerns a bit, but it's going to be a pleasant overnight period with low temperatures, mainly in the low 50s. then tomorrow, look for a bright and mainly sunny day. high temperatures ranging from mid and upper 60s at the coast to mid 70s around the bay. shoreline to upper 70s to near 80 inland. and here's the accuweather. look at the seven day forecast yet. this is the futurecast showing the approaching weak weather system that may bring us some drizzle

overnight sunday into monday. sort of iffy at the moment. so here's the accuweather seven day forecast. as you can see for the remainder of the week. nice and mild starts to cool down on sunday. clouds increase as that system gets closer. there may be some drizzle late sunday into early monday, then after that, drier, cooler conditions going into a relatively pleasant fall like week next week. larry and kristen. >> all right. thank you spencer. all right.

elementary. what would you do is on a ten, then stay with us for abc seven news at 11. now to your voice, your vote. we're less than two weeks away from the election, and we want to make sure you know what's on the ballot this november. today we're looking at proposition two, which authorizes bonds for public schools and community college facilities. reporter gabe farris from our sister

station in fresno, explains what it does. >> as voters cast their ballots, they'll decide whether the state should borrow $10 billion to build and repair public schools and community colleges. >> every student in the state deserves to be in a in a classroom that's worthy of being educated in. >> yuri calderon is the executive director of the small school districts association. proposition two would directly impact the campuses. calderon represents those with less than 2500 students. >> the vast majority of school districts in the state of california. there are over 65% are small. >> calderon says those schools are often overlooked and underrepresented in state funding and grants because urban schools are better equipped to apply for the money. >> that's why these provisions are in this bond measure to ensure that at least a portion of those funds end up in our rural and small communities. >> the state would distribute proposition two money through matching grants, requiring districts to contribute from local funds. the prop wouldn't automatically raise taxes, but

the state will need to find about $500 million a year to repay the loan. >> it's just that these school boards are not living within their means. >> critics like francisco alaniz with the libertarian party point out the bond measure will cost taxpayers much more than the proposed $10 billion interest will cost $8 billion over 35 years to repay this this bond, it's going to increase property taxes. >> and i'm not just talking about homeowners renters as well. >> proposition two goes before voters. as calderon says, some school facilities are in poor shape. when you see places that don't have clean drinking water that they don't have a sewer system, that that's fully operational, that their bathrooms look like you know, worse than a bus station bathroom. >> right. these are schools here in california. >> alaniz says proposition two is an expensive ask. that's not needed in the first place. >> school districts have a budget, an annual budget. so if these repairs were really neede, these repairs should be budgeted in their annual budget.

>> proposition two comes four years after voters rejected a $15 billion bond proposal for schools in 2020, the last time voters approved borrowing money for schools was in 2016. >> stick with abc seven news for election coverage. we have a voter guide just for you. just go to abc seven news.com and look under the election section. that's it for abc seven news at four. abc seven news at five with dan and ama is coming your way next.
