before the massive budget crisis, each year sacramento used to send cities like san jose millions of dollars to get rid of -- revitalize neighborhood, rebuild homes. but the state pulled the plug because of the b current financial emergency that it's in. today a group will go before the california supreme court to ask for reinstatement of the funds. arguing that it's unconstitution n unconstitutional for lawmakers to hold back the money. they diverted the $1.7 billion from them and property taxes back to schools and other programs. bigger priorities in the eyes of sacramento give tennessee current financial crisis. is state is already facing a budget deficit of $5 billion to $8 billion. the redevelopment agencyscan get a second life if they agree to give back the state another $400

million down the road. by taking away the money, the state violated proposition 22. voters passed prop 22 last november to specifically prevent sacramento from doing just this. raiding the treasuries of local government. they argue the state should be happy to fund the redevelopment. it creates jobs to create more income taxes which means more money for the state of california. jon, laura? >> thanks for the update, bob. stop if you've heard this before. a tuition hike is looming for cal-state students. find out what could cause the latest increase. coming up nec.

house and george kaiser did talk about solyndra. the obama administration said it hadn't talk to kaiser about the plant. 9:00 a.m. our time is when the white house has to turn over the documents. >> it will be interesting to watch this one unfold. >> it is 6:26 right now. still to come on "today in the bay. rick perry certainly lost his train of thought, but could he possiblily lose the gop bid for president? >> three people dead from traffic accidents in five days in san jose. we'll have a live report on that coming up. and we're going to see the sunshine and the 70s for today. take a look at what's headed our way. a lot of rain on the coast. as the commute builds around e e bay i have an eye on the cil heac gth wu tewelan come back.

>> wheal check back with you. a warning for south bay motorists to pay attention on the roads today. a string or car accidents involving pedestrians has occurred, including two on wednesday alone. marla tellez is live with more on the situation. >> police say it's because of what we did over the weekend. we turned our clocks back an hour. it's lighter earlier in the morning. so it's getting darker earlier. come nightfall it makes ugs more vulnerable on the road. last night a 44-year-old san jose man was riding his bike near galveston when he was hit. this was in the 6:00 hour. he's fighting for his life in the hospital this morning. the cause is under investigation, but it doesn't seem the driver was impaired in any way.

also the mercury news reports a 67-year-old woman was in the crosswalk. she dried from her injuries. and over a weekend a 20-year-old woman was hit and killed in south san jose while walking to the mall. three people, either a pedestrian or bicyclist have been hit and killed in san jose in the past five days. police are taking the time to remind all of us it is getting darker earlier. whether you're running, walking or biking, it's very important to wear bright clothing or invest in reflective gear. a memorial will be held for a san jose teen killed in his backyard two years ago. he was killed on november 10th, 2009. police say he was stabbed repeatedly by classmates jay williams and randy thompson.

sacramento each year used to give cities like san jose millions of dollars for redevelopment. sacramento shut that down over the summer because of the fm crisis that they're in. today people will go before california's supreme court to ask for a reinstatement of the funds. in july they diverted $1.47 billion from property taxes back into schools and other programs, bigger priorities in the eyes of sacramento. the state is already facing a budget deficit of $5 million to $8 billion. having to return to $1.7 billion will add to that. the redevelopment agencyscan get a second life if they agree to give the state another $400

million down the road. hence the reason why they are suing today. just another reason. the redevelopment agencies argue by taking away their money, they violated proposition 22. california voters passed proposition 22 in november. that does not let the state raid local government treasuries as they're doing now. laura? >> a lot of money at stake. thank you very much, bob. >> we check back in with meteorologist christina loren. it was beautiful watching the moon, but crisp this morning. >> crisp and cool. i poked my head outdoors. it is so cold. we're also going to see the 70s from the coast to inland cities looking comfortable. that was a live look from san bruno facing east. you can see the clouds ahead of a front that could potentially dump rain for hours over the

coastline as we head throughout tomorrow. let's enjoy. let's seize the day. 69 in redwood city. you'll hit 70 in san jose. 70 in livermore. and i think redwood city, 69 degrees. really comfortable. so overall three to five degrees warmer than where we ended up yesterday. take a look at this. we have very tight ily wound area of low pressure. the core is over the pacific. throughout the next 24 hours it's not going to move much. but waking up tomorrow morning this thing is slated to take a dip south and east. that could bring the moisture band right over the bay area. just dumping rain at the coast. take a look at this orange, red and yellow. this is a moisture-rich system. it will move on shore at 8:00 a.m. bring in heavy rainfall to san francisco. then between k and 10:00 it will turn more showery.

we'll be done with the heavy downpours. but the showery condition will last through 5:00 p.m. soover all a dangerous commute in the morning. potentially dangerous commute dealing with aftermath on your way home from work tomorrow. and we could pick up inches of rain in some cities before 10:00 p.m. friday. i think the best chance will be redwood city and south. san jose is looking to get drenched tomorrow. your seven-day outlook is coming up in my next report. first, let's find out if we have any problems. >> always a lot going on after 6:30. 6:38 now. we look at a new accident that should be just about cleared northbound 880 approaching 92 and the interchange. typical build there. a little slower than we might expect for the castro valley
