stems from social policies she believes trump will deliver on. >> all i want to do is make america great again. like the only black girl who's very big on trump but donald trump, you saw, first of all, a man who's committed to the development of the working people of america, and he's committed to world peace. >> but political pundits say trump also may have picked up support in california due to a general feeling that people want to see change. >> some say that the new trump administration may offer more than just cash benefits for silicon valley, and the future of tech. silicon valley is a driving economic force home of many in the bay area and the country's technology advancements. some believe the trump presidency would help tech grow. >> i think a lot of folks in silicon valley are really hopeful that this will be a new day for them. and, you know, we need to help technology all we can. >> tech companies say president

is set to vote on a plan that would speed up that process. the problem is carb staff have found the plan could increase gas prices by $0.47 next year. the agency has recently backpedaled on that estimate, saying they cannot predict prices, claiming californians will save on fuel in the long run. >> a potential 50 cent increase just seems like it will be a huge burden on california consumers, and unfortunately, the prices of fuel and diesel impact absolutely everything. >> multiple democratic and republican lawmakers have asked carb to delay today's vote. carb executive officer said they can't put it off because of state deadlines. >> the state is increasing its requirements for reporting car crashes and other stoppages involving autonomous vehicles. the california public utilities commission announced av operators will now be required to report incidents where driverless vehicles get stuck during operations. they also have to provide detailed reports on both collision and non collision incidents, and file reports to the cpuc and the

that those who receive the rsv vaccine last year don't need to get another dose this year. people can go to sfgov vax for more info. >> new research shows people can carry the avian flu virus even if they are asymptomatic. the new findings are prompting the cdc to expand its recommendation for testing and protective tools like masks. the cdc says any dairy worker who has been exposed to the virus should get tested, even if they have no symptoms. right now, there have been 46 human cases of avian flu in the u.s, 21 live and work in san joaquin valley and had exposure to infected cows. >> parents and students are rallying in the south bay to keep their schools from closing. leaders with san jose's berryessa union school district say they don't have enough students to keep every campus open. there are five elementary schools and three middle schools up for consideration. while the district claims the schools were picked using state practices. many parents have found the process confusing. >> these are public schools. at

the end of the day, the public needs to be aware of what the basis of these decisions are and i'm not sure if that's happening with full transparency. >> a statement shared by the district said that school closures are a last resort action. the school board will make a final decision december 18th. today will be the final game of the season for a powerhouse football team. they're in the midst of an issue involving several of their players. the el cerrito high school football team has been banned from the north coast section playoffs because of an eligibility scandal involving the coach and multiple players. the team is also on probation for the next two seasons. the school principal reported several team members played while ineligible. el cerrito had to forfeit a number of games, reversing their winning record. >> a public art piece that's hard to miss in san francisco's golden gate park is coming down this month. we're talking about the big red no dancing sign at the promenade by the skating

place. the sign was supposed to show a rule that was meant to be broken. according to our partners at the sf standard, the sign was always meant to be temporary. the art piece was originally put up, up at burning man. >> see, i like the no dancing sign. okay, now for your morning money report. the irs collected more than $5 trillion in tax revenue. the agency released its 2024 financial report yesterday. the irs also said it distributed 553 billion in federal tax refunds. one of the main goals the irs had for the 2024 filing season was improving customer assistance over phone lines and online services. according to the report, it surpassed its goal in making sure callers were able to receive help. the federal reserve approved its second consecutive interest rate cut. it's reducing the rate by a quarter of a point to a low of 4.5%. some experts expected this change. that's a follow up to september's big half percentage point reduction. now let's see what's happening today on the
