>> good morning to you. we are looking good this morning. that picture behind the two of you is absolutely beautiful. clear conditions. because of the clear skies, we are in the 30s. 38 degrees in napa. 39 in gilroy. much cooler than it has been any day this week at this time. grab the jacket this morning. fog developing in the north bay. expect it to trend in the south for the morning hours. i have the holiday weekend forecast moments away. stay tuned for that. let's get you to work. if you are headed out the front door now, what does it look like? >> a really, really light preholiday weekend. 580 shows big slowing. almost 20 minutes from altamont pass. this is extraordinary because of how light it was a few moments ago. there's an accident reported. there might have been a metering light blocked off blocking the

merge on 580. the distraction caused the sudden slowing. that is the only major slowing in the area. >> thank you. 6:01 now. the new and truly shocking report showing the state commission charged with cracking down on teacher misconduct is flawed and poorly run to keep kids safe at school. monte francis is live at the state building this morning. one calls it commission one of the worst run organizations she's ever seen. >> reporter: well, marla, that's right. this agency is called the teacher credentially. that audit found a backlog of 12,000 cases. among the cases, a teacher exposed middle school students to pornography in 2008. they didn't request police

reports for more than a year. another was a teacher charged with prostitution. they were allowed to renew teaching credentials the following year. in the case of a substitute teacher charged with urinating in the classroom while students were present, not until six months after the court case ended. daryl is blasting the commission for failing to act on allegations in a timely way saying the well being of students is at stake. he's called a meeting for may 10 to look at what can be done for improvements. they are calling it one of the state's worst run organizations. now in response, the commission's director said there's a serious backlog of cases. no student has been harmed as a result of the delays. live in san francisco, monte

francis, today in the bay. >> certainly shocking. thank you. the mount diablo school board will vote for secretaries and clerical workers and furlough days. they call for three and four furlough days this year and between five and eight next year. they would have to pay for increased medical costs as of january. can you imagine paying more than $6 a gallon for gasoline? it is possible by the summer. bob redell is live in san jose with more about why and how it's prompted a federal investigation. good morning, bob. >> reporter: well, let's take a look at where we are at right now. this gas station in san jose, this is a 76 station. an average gallon of gas is running $4.35. it should be noted, this is actually above average for san jose. what aaa is reporting is a

gallon of gas is averaging $4.22. oakland is about the same. sf, $4.27. we put the numbers on the screen to get a comparison to a month ago. if you look at the numbers, where we are at is a quarter higher than where we were 30 days ago. at this 76 station here they are spending a little bit more. you are talking about the federal investigation. a lot of people are scratching their heads saying why are we so high now when we are not in the summer driving season? it's got the attention of uncle sam. they ordered the justice department to set up a task force to show how they are affecting the price of oil to see if there's illegal manipulation or fraud. it's trading at $110 a barrel. some think it's grossly overinflated. it should be in the $65 to $70 range. there's a securities analyst

saying yes, by summertime, we could hit $6 a gallon of gas. three reasons this man is putting out there. one, the dollar is at a three-year low right now. as the dollar goes down, the price of energy goes up. you have the summer driving season, which is when demand goes up and supply goes down. if we have a bad hurricane season, a massive storm could disrupt oil supplies. you have three x factors coming together. it's where they come up with $6 a gallon of gas. reporting live, bob redell, today in the bay. >> thank you much. one month after their daughter died in a street race, a san jose couple is warning others will die if the racing continues. lance and laurie spoke only to nbc bay area. their 23-year-old daughter left work on march 20th when a mercedes going almost double the

one reports at airway, another reported at el charro. a second lane by airway in the congestion. it's going to get worse. the travel time will creep up for friday. getting to 880 through oakland, a smooth drive. no issues with the taillights. you are at the limit through downtown to the toll plaza where we have a clear drive. back to you. >> thank you much. it is 6:11. still to come, development plans for treasure island get approved. the next step could prove people who don't like the idea, right. >> reporter: good morning, i'm christie smith live in oakland. if you drive a diesel car, we have something new for you. this oakland company is taking their fryer oil and selling it retail this morning, coming up in a live report. >> you heard b.a.r.t. go by

>> anybody with a diesel -- anybody with a diesel car. biodiesel burns like diesel. you can run it on a number of different things. number two diesel, biodiesel. some use the four-stroke vegetable oil. >> reporter: it's cheaper than at the traditional pump. >> yeah. we are going to sell it 25 cents cheaper. $4.15 a gallon is what we are selling it for. >> reporter: thanks for being out here. a couple more things going on for earth day as well that i wanted to mention. the marin clean energy is opening the first of two electric vehicle charging stations today at c and third streets. also in san francisco, the city is opening a rainwater harvesting system at 11:00 this morning. they will be doing demonstrations at gourden lau

south. in this neck of the woods, san mateo, pacifica, visibility could be less than a quarter mile because of the system from the last couple days. high pressure is compressing the moisture. 48 degrees now in the city by the bay. chillier in gilroy. 39 degrees in the garlic capital. 60 by noon. mild conditions. you'll be able to get in the car and roll down the windows, if you choose to. we are talking the 70s in the south bay. beautiful beach day in santa cruz. we have a slight chance of rain each and every day all the way through wednesday. we are going to talk about why and wen we are expecting the dry spring pattern we are accustomed to. looks like next week. stay tuned for that. back to you. >> the easter egg hunt is important to me, too. >> i'm sorry.

[ banker ] so we talked to them about the wells fargo priority buyer preapproval. it lets people know that you are a serious buyer because you've been credit-approved. we got everything in order so that we can move on the next place we found. which was clear on the other side of town. [ male announcer ] wells fargo. with you when you're ready to move. hr male announcer ] wells fargo. i never wear the same thing twice. not together, anyway. i'm in t.j.maxx every week. i used to think it was old school, but it's not. i get this season's designer clothes that i absolutely need... and i still get to eat. fashion direct from designers. savings direct to you. that's right. i'm a maxxinista. t.j.maxx.

smoothly. we heard it in the background of christie's shot. i wanted to give an update on that as well. no issues on the bay bridge. the toll plaza, we get a live look. things are moving smoothly. there's the haze. the low clouds, fog that christina has been talking about. it's creeping over here. watch for that effect. so far, no problems reported as a result of fog. >> hopefully, it will stay friday light. the pacific coast highway is open. cal tran says a section of high way 1 closed when chunks of the roadway crumbled and fell into the sea. a spokesman says the reopening will bring relief to residents as you can imagine along a 50-mile stretch. folks have been cut off for much of the last month. you could say they are cautiously optimistic.

silicon valley ceos are hiring but still worried about the state's fiscal mess. business leaders meet with governor jerry brown in san jose. more than half of the silicon valley ceos polled say they are worried about the business impact of government regulation, state employee pension costs and the budget problems. 175 silicon valley ceos took part in the poll. the controversy over phone that is follow you is growing. the latest to publish criticism that apple knows where you are and where you have been. this is nothing new. we talked about this before. >> this is nothing new to those who work with the iphone, after all. in fact, one report says, police have known for more than a year that data files contained within the iphone show where you have been and they can be accessed with someone with a software developers kit. what's new is talk that the

android phone may have the same flaw. there's a big growing story about how it's getting washington's attention, too. congress realizing the public is not happy about this and phone makers may be bringing new legislation and regulation down upon themselves. as you listen to or read reports, there are actually two location issues. the first is the iphone routinely sends it's position back to apple. that's one. the other is the iphone keeps a text file recording of your position, even the compass heading of the phone. it's not accessible unless you hook the phone up to a computer. it doesn't appear to be transmitted anywhere. we are going to talk about it on "press: here." how apple is behind the pr curve on this one as the controversy continues to grow and there's been no response. marla, back to you. >> thank you, scott.

coming up on today in the bay, pg&e's top executive is stepping down and getting a multimillion dollar retirement package. details coming up. >> reporter: and the slow, very painful road to $6 for a gallon of gas by summertime. i'm bob redell.

from the water as i can. you know the rule of three? we have two accidents at el charro and one at 580. this is before you have the back up. it could cause an increased back up for folks. a 22 minute drive holding up for 580 through the dublin interchange. the rest of the area, friday light. the volume is starting to build at the bay bridge toll plaza. no fog to report for the east bay, so far. back to you, marla. >> thank you, mike. talk about sticker shock. gas prices at $6 a gallon. really? some say it's whatnot to look forwards to this summer. it's prompted a federal investigation. bob redell is live in san jose with more. bob. >> reporter: we are looking at the price of a regular gallon of

gas. right now, it's $4.35. some feel it's already high. we are not in the summer driving season yet. is there something funny going on? i say drivers in general. president obama is wondering the same thing. he's asked the justice department to set up a task force to probe into how traders and specklators are doing this to make sure there's not manipulation or fraud. some think it's way higher than it should be. they think it should be in the 65 to $70 range. now, there's an energy strategist with a securities firm in north carolina predicting $6 for a gallon of gas by summertime. his thought is the dollar is at a three-year low. with that, when the dollar is that low, the price of energy goes up. you have demand increasing over the summer driving season. then the other x factor is

hurricanes. if we have a massive hurricane season, it could affect the price of oil. the average price of gas is $4.22 oakland about the same. san francisco is $4.27. you can see where we were a month ago. we were about a quarter less for a gallon of gas. how is the price of gas affecting your budget overall? >> you have to be more conscious with what you are doing. not as much compulsive spending. you have to budget for the gas. you have to make sure you get to work. >> reporter: change the major purchasing. >> i was thinking of getting a new car but with the gas mileage i get on the civic and honda, it's not a necessity anymore. >> reporter: you are getting decent mileage and feeling it.

>> yes, i am. >> reporter: $6 a gallon of gas by summertime. if you believe this expert in north carolina, it would not be a good thing, obviously. let's hope he's wrong. bob redell, today in the bay. >> thank you. pg&e's top executive is stepping down and taking a hefty parting gift with him. he's leaving the utility company after a challenging year. he takes with him a $35 million retirement package. he faced severe criticism after the san bruno explosion. he was blamed for spending millions on proposition 16, which failed in june. it would have made it difficult for cities and groups to buy their own power rather than go through pg&e. medical marijuana users may not be able to get marijuana anymore. they may ban the pot dispensaries. a pot club opened without

permits. councilmembers will consider a 45 day moritorium so the city can take a closer look at the policy. oakley and brentwood banned dispensaries. this morning, a scathing new report says state commissions aren't doing enough to crack down on teacher who is behave inappropriately in the classroom. monte francis, live at the state building in san francisco with a look at the shocking allegations. good morning. >> reporter: scott, good morning. this agency is called the commission on teacher credentialing. the agency did not act fast enough when charges of misconduct. for example, a teacher was accused of exposing middle school students to pornography. they didn't request police reports in the case for more than a year. another case was a teacher involved in prostitution in 2007. that teacher was allowed to

reflu the teaching credential and it wasn't revoked until last year. a substitute teacher urinating in a classroom with students there, his was revoked six months after the case ended. they blast the commission for failing to act on allegations in a timely way saying the well being of students is at stake. he's called a legislative meeting for may 10th to look at what needs to be done. meanwhile, the state auditor is calling the teacher credentialing the worst run organizations in the state. they admitted there's a backlog of more than 12,000 cases. he says no student has been harmed as a result of the delays. live in san francisco, monte francis, today in the bay. >> thank you much. good news, no station closures for cal train, at least for now. fares and parking fees will go up. after receiving an overwhelming

number of e-mails from computers, they say they don't need to need to reduce or suspend for a year. they will keep things operating as usual. the price hikes take effect july 1. higher ferry and bus fares could get a seal of approval from the golden gate bridge district. they are expected to get a thumbs up. bus fares will go up 5% each year. the ferry service will see a hike of a dollar. it will race $2.5 million for the cash-strapped agency. it's the day muni passes go up as well. are ferry fares fair? >> say that over and over and over. no one is saying anything. >> no one is going to chant that. what do we want? all right. weather. let's talk to christina, good

closures. you'll use capital expressway. 680 and 101, if you use 280, take it to king, back to 280 and that gets you past the construction. a live look out there. no metering lights, guys. back to you. >> thank you, mike. today is earth day. a lot of events are happening around the bay in honor or going green. christie smith is live in oakland at a facility offering something new to turn your car green. not literally, though, christie. >> reporter: good morning to you and happy friday. we are at sirona fuels. the slogan on the side of the truck says it all. from fryer to fuel. it's what they do. they go around and collect cooking oil and turn it into biofuel that runs in a diesel vehicle. normally, they sell it to larger

trucks and wholesalers. now, they are doing something different. they are selling it retail in oakland. they have that truck set up. if you have the diesel car that can take this, pull right in to the makeshift gas station and fill up. it's a lot cheaper than you would get at a traditional gas station. they are selling it at 4:15 a gallon. good morning. >> morning. >> reporter: can you explain to us? he's got bottles set up. this is how it comes in from the restaurant, is that right? >> that's right. we get this from the restaurant. we add our chemicals. then we do a final wash with water. this is the final product here. this is biodiesel. >> reporter: awesome. there you have it. they are in east oakland off 49th avenue. i guess people are getting lost on the way here.
