7:04 am
hill side street. the victim was transported to hospital but later divide his injuries some far, officers have not made any arrests. enough is enough is what lawmakers are saying about the cow palace this morning after another event turned dangerous this weekend. as we first told you yesterday morning, 17 people were rushed to bay area hospitals after attending the subsonic spook fest concert hosted by radio station live 105. this was an event that was open to anyone 16 years old and older. rescue crews say the victims appeared to be suffering from drug and alcohol overdoses. the hospitalization is strikingly similar to the rave at the cow palace five months ago which sent nine people to the hospital. one daley city council member said if the cow palace were to be run by daily city the chief of police would have the authority to approve events held there. >> historically, always had the problem it is a state-run facility and the city of daly city has no sort of governance,
7:05 am
although it sits in our area and all our neighbors are affected by t even the pay the tropes who come here. >> the councilman proposes covering an extra fee which covers police and firefighter staffing for events at the cow palace. starting today, ac transit is cutting service to 70 bus lines. a few lines are going to be eliminated all together but most of the routes are just being retooled. the changes will save ac transit about $11 million a year. the main areas that will be affected are west oakland, lake shore and grand avenue areas of oakland, emeryville, bay farm island and san leandro. like most bay area transportation agencies, ac transit is dealing with a major budget deficit. this morning, a small break for families scrambling to find child care after massive budget cuts. the axe won't fall on child care program tomorrow as expected. the oakland tribune reports an alameda superior court judge is ordering them to fund the programs until november 5th, the
7:06 am
welfare to work program. governor schwarzenegger eliminated child care service for the welfare to work families off of cash aid more than two years or longer. the california department of education estimates 54,000 kids would have lost child care as a result of that decision. tonight is halloween and officers across the state will be out in full force to make sure real-life boogiemen don't put young trick or treaters in danger. the california department of corrections will be on patrol to make sure sex offenders comply with their curfew. registered sex offenders are required, by law to remain indoors between 5:00 this evening until 5:00 tomorrow morning. officers will check that the exterior lights at offender homes are turned off and no halloween decoration and no offer of candy. new this morning two arrests in the cargo plane bomb plot and a claim that one of the two bombs intercepted on their way to the u.s. from yemen nearly made it here.

constitution puts the power to enact immigration laws in the hands of congress. still ahead on today in the bay, election day is tuesday and if you are just drowning in a sea of he questions about the candidates and the propositions, we are going to throw you a lifeline. and show you why one candidate for governor will spend election day in court instead of on the campaign trail.
7:10 am
after more than a year of campaigning, voters will finally weigh in on the 2010 election this coming tuesday. to help break down all the facets of this complicated ballot today, our political analyst is joining us for a double-heard. later on this morning, we will talk about the propositions on the ballot. right now, we want to talk about the candidates and issues really framing this election. in your opinion today, looking toward tuesday what is framing the election? >> the governorship, of course, the crown of all the races here, and jerry brown and meg whitman
7:11 am
have gone at t interesting, they really differentiate themselves as we have gone along, chris, the economy, safe infrastructure issues, wedge issues, gay marriage, immigration, taxes, the role of money in this election is absolutely amazing. $500 million, $500 had million will be spent in california alone on all the various campaigns from the senate down to water districts. >> i'm thinking if candidates wrote checks to the state of california they would get elected. instead of campaigning, we will give you money. >> see if that happens for meg whitman. an awful lot happened, so far, a tight race. >> how do we distinguish between the two major parties? they try to set themselves apart, don't you think? >> i think so and it has really become easier, actually to differentiate between candidates, as time has gone on. in case of the governorship, for example, jerry brown, he is an insider, let's face it 40 years of government experience and he claims that this is the time to
7:12 am
put all that experience to work. meg whitman, hey, she is an outsider, no question about it, with no government experience, who claims that more of the same will get us nowhere at a time when we need to move forward. and that way, you know, each side can abuse the other as a been there, done that candidate. kind of interesting how they use the same kind of logic against one another. >> we want to talk about the race between barbara boxer and carly fiorina, a lot of ads. >> yes, another race easier and easier to separate. they are more different, more ideological extremes, full, more so than brown and whitman. look, barbara boxer, again, has a record a long record, 28 years in the house and the senate, pro-choice, a concern for environmentalism, wants a path for citizenship for illegal immigrants. all this is clearly laid out. carly fiorina has her own set of issues and she, too, is very different, pro-life, opposes bills such as ab 32 assembly
7:13 am
bill designed to change california's emissions policy, use it as a job-killer bill and want no, sir safe haven for illegal immigrants. you know what chris, each of these has a liability, no question about t barbara boxer's liability, part of the "establishment, a year people want nothing to do with the establishment. that is all there is to it. carly fiorina's liability, core values are probably further to the right from california's mainstream than barbara boxer. so when you look at it all, anybody who says these two are alike, brown or whitman are alike, no, no, no great differences and depend where they fit with your values. >> in a little bit, we will talk more about proposition on the ballot and why folks are watching that barbara boxer race with carly fiorina even outside our borders. >> you me. >> get a cup of coffee. we will see you in a minute. thank you, lar way. front-runners for the governor's seat spend the weekend campaigning, a great party candidates spending the
7:14 am

7:44 am
on to decision 2010 now, supporters will be leafletting neighborhoods today to legalize marijuana. campaign volunteers will campaign bay area cities to spread its message about the measure. campaign volunteers also man phone banks today as part of their final push. meantime, what the no on 19 lacks in campaign funding it makes up for in high-powered political support. governor arnold schwarzenegger, senator dianne feinstein and president obama all oppose prop 19. texas is t moving from the baseball die mopped to the political arena. this morning this ad is running in newspapers opposing the mesh sure that would overturn the state's climate law. as you can see it has a world
7:45 am
series twist aimed at the texas oil companies who backed the bill. the ad says texas to oil companies are trying to rewrite the rules of the game and steal home from california voters. tuesday's statewide election is just around the corner, many of us are still confused about some of those proposition on the ballot. today larry gersten is going to help us sort out some of the tough ones, can we start by saying thank goodness they are not leafletting and not rallying anything else? let's start with the decriminalization of marijuana. >> yep. >> you know, only recently did we see tv ads for this one. >> yeah this is -- campaigns go, chris this had is not a well-financed campaign, one way or the other. all of the propositions actually, all nine of them this is the easiest one to understand it is pretty straightforward in terms of intent to make it legal for any adult to grow, own and use marijuana. that is about it. now why?
7:46 am
well, supporters say that the current policy is pretty much a sham, especially if you think of the medicinal marijuana places and so what and the state tax possibilities of $1 to $2 billion anally, you know how we are hurting when it comes to the state budget. to opponents counters marijuana, opens harder drugs and federal law prevents any state from legalizing the drug this is on the ballotby the way on three other states, so, interesting to help see any of the four passes this initiative. >> recent polls show it is a dead heat or failing. >> recent polls say it is losing but the yes on 19 votes say their internal polls, right, been there before, say it is winning. >> on top to proposition 23 it would suss spent the implementation of climate laws but the actual name doesn't have to do with jobs. >> that is part of the mystique, full, of all ballot propositions, almost all of them you touched on this one a couple
7:47 am
minutes ago, one way or another, this has a lot to do with the state's economy, pure and simple. supporters say that passage of the proposition this one, 23, will save jobs that would be lost because companies would rather leave california than convert their complicated emissions systems. now, many also say that the claims of greenhouse gas pollution are very exaggerated. there is that side to the 23 argument, opponents very strong on this one. they point to the cost of greenhouse gas emissions not on the environment but people in the form of asthma and lung-related diseases and also see this new law opening the way to hundreds of thousands of green jobs. i tell you something, oil companies have pushed, as you mentioned in that story, oil companies have pushed very hard on proposition 23. interesting venture capitalists oppose it, spending millions. why? they think the wave of the future are the new green companies. >> you mentioned that a couple
7:48 am
weeks ago. thought it was very interesting. move on to proposition 25, 26 though deal with budgets and taxes. >> yep. once again, budgets, taxes, maybe even jobs. the folks from proposition 25 say that it is time to make the budget something that is passed by a majority vote, a simple majority, instead of the two-thirds arrangement, which as we know, last time around, took 100 days before that budget was passed. they say the state can't afford budget gridlock, the measure easier to pass a budget two thirds vote required to pay taxes would remain in place but opponents now say if passed, the legislatudggislature would be irresponsible, easier to raise taxes. >> a valid argument, do you think? >> truth be told, nothing to do with raising taxes, nothing to do more than ever. an old story here, chris, comes to all the proposition, people are very loose when it comes to interpret stating the data,
