to repeal the rules. the mayor says if you want an election you have to pay for it, that's why he wants this tax. most people we spoke to agree with the mayor. >> i think it would be all right. i agree with the state of our economy and our debt, we would need something like that to get us through. >> if they did raise the tax it's better than getting rid of the pot clubs. right? so that's one way to look at it. i'm not into raising taxes on anything. >> mayor reed estimates an election would cost about $1 million. he points out that the tax increase would be a temporary one. the city council is going to consider this issue at a 1:30 meeting here at city hall. >> thanks, marla. >> the state auditors are digging through records in alameda county is not faring too

rain if any today in the north bay. but hey, any promise of precipitation because it's been so dry is something that we're monitoring closely. this morning i do think we're going to get a little shower activity. what i'm waiting for is this cute off low to break off. right now it's still pretty much out here in the pacific. i think it's going to move to the east. it depends where the center ends up. how much rain we get and whether the showers slide to the golden gate bridge. it does not look very promising for the showers to drift to the south. i think sonoma county will get a little and maybe marin. you can see the showers coming down now north of eureka are light, breaking apart as they move on shore. we don't have a great rain chance. what will happen is on shore snow will strengthen. we expect thick fog to develop. through probably 6:00 to 8:00 this morning, 44 in hayward. it's cold out there.

and as high pressure moves in it will compress whatever moisture we pick up. i'm expecting thick fog. by thursday, though, a crisp clear start with offshore flow back in effect. that means we'll see a warming trend again. as you can see here, area of low pressure is just about to break off here from the jet stream. this is going to continue to move to the south as we head throughout day. and we don't know whether or not this core of low pressure is going to make its way on shore. it doesn't look likely for that. i think the core is going to stay offshore, sidle down the coast and maybe some of the outer bands of rain will push into places like marin and sonoma at the coast. what will happen is on shore flow will increase. we expect more fog. more after sea breeze today. 62 degrees in los gatos. 62 in redwood city. that tends to clean out the air mass. 59 in san francisco, 63 in gilroy, and about 61 degrees in livermore. good morning to you out there in the tri-valley. throughout the week really not much changes until we head

but, when you total everything up it looks as if tim cook will earn more than $370 million this year. 1.4 of that is base salary, the rest stock grants. cook has been official ceo since august, he's been at the helm unofficially at apple for more than a year. the head of microsoft i should point makes less money, delivered the keynote at ces in las vegas. his guest include cookie monster and a choir that sank tweets. this will be microsoft's last appearance at the conference. more from ces later. shares in zenka will open at a new low. shares fell 9%. it has to hit a high bar. its other games like farmville played by tens of millions of people. and congress has set a date to allow internet experts to

sergeant oliver collins. good morning. you're with the novato police department. you are telling me you had investigators out overnight. how did it go? >> good morning to you. yes, we had collaborative effort between the marin county sheriff's department, the novato fire district and the novato police department. the extra patrols were in an effort to deter future or potential arsons and to try to gather information as to who might be responsible for setting the fires. >> we understand there was a fire last night. >> there was one residential garbage can fire. we don't know if it was linked with the string of arsons we've had but under the circumstances we're devoting all of our investigative efforts into that and trying to determine what the cause of the fire was. >> no one hurt and no structures damaged but quickly, what would be considered suspicious and what should someone do if they see that? >> it's a potential for the arsonist to light fires during the daytime may not be that

high. but what we are specifically looking for is evidence of fire or any evidence of ignition source to an arson in the area. >> thank you for being out here. that's what we have from here. christie smith. we'll send it back to you guys. >> christie, we appreciate the update. >> suspected serial killer joseph masso will be back in court. the 77-year-old will attend a preliminary hearing. he is charged with killing four northern california women between 1977 and 1994. he has decided to represent himself in the case, though he does have a legal adviser helping. >> it is 5:32. we have new information about a man arrested in connection with a string of violent sexual assaults in san francisco's mission district. 32-year-old frederick dozier is due in court tomorrow. his face book page says he worked part-time for the san francisco school district.

two. nothing heavy. i don't think we're going to measure anything. enough moisture will come through to purify our air quality. today, cool start, tomorrow, a cloudy start with that additional moisture making way to a crisp and clear afternoon. we're going to get that flow back in effect. and that means we could be breaking temperature records again so there is more of a warm-up on the way. then maybe a little more shower activity. first, mike, any improve snmt >> you know, at least we have more information regarding this head-on collision on 92 west of 280 as you head over to half moon bay. both directions of 92 are -- sorry, both lanes of westbound 92 are currently closed. but the chp has arrived. the update, we'll sort it out. they hope to have the cars moved off of the roadways shortly which to me mean there is are no life threatening injuries, at least no one in the cars so they can move those. we have more crews heading to

the scene. we should be able to get by as far as it sounds like with one way traffic between 35 and 280. highway 92 over the water is the san mateo bridge and smooth drive over the water for that, travel -- there you go, over the high rise. we'll end with this shot because there are no major dramas so i like a peaceful end to my report. >> 5:37. the polls open in new hampshire. voting under way in the first gop primary a. live report is next. >> why one bay area city may ignore oakland's call for help when it comes to clearing out occupy protesters. >> the hearing that could put a halt to construction for the america's kep. >> a live look, san francisco international airport this morning. coming and going again. >> for all of your latest news, traffic, weather and of course stimulating conversation, come find us at facebook.

for jon huntsman. we have new numbers that show those are the only two candidates overnight with significant movement. romney according to the daily tracking poll solidifying his lead now 19 points over ron paul. jon huntsman who is in third place within striking distance of paul, he jumped 5 percentage points overnight and has been steadily increasing support in this state in the last five days. doubling in the last five days or so. those numbers are new, everyone else for the most part staying the same. maybe up a point or so or in most cases dropping in support. fewer undecideds. at this point just as mitt romney's race to lose, he has the double digit lead. the other candidates are close, at least a couple of them, may be close behind in terms of fighting for second and third place. >> tracie, what is expected turnout today for new hampshire? >> reporter: well, the state secretary of state is saying

250,000, that includes mostly registered republicans. but they have a huge amount of registered voters here who are undeclared, independent, who can vote in either primary. you can sign up in this state on the spot on election day, so that's a bit of a wild card. but they expect 250,000. if that's the case, it would be bigger than the last two presidential elections here. >> interesting to see. thank you very much, tracie, for the latest. >> guess you can say bravery comes in all shapes and ages. a 3-year-old from new zealand went eye to eye with the king of the jungles. take a look at this home video shot by her parents, the girl up against the glass checking out the lion. the only thing separating them is the glass. all of a sudden the lion decides get out of my face. she's like hey, no sweat. i'm in fort the long haul. the lion has a history of mood swings. the little girl who turns 4 next month says guess what, i want to
