get you as you cross one of our open water bridges, you don't want to lose control of your vehicle. make sure you're alert. in addition to the winds we have very, very wet conditions now in the south bay. i went out to the parking lot here, completely soaked. so the combination the strong winds and the showers, one of those mornings leave early. the 70s back in the forecast. i'll talk about when they return. first, mike, you're going to come in clutch this morning. what's going on? >> right now thank goodness not a lot. we had early morning accidents, and gusty winds like at the san mateo bridge. look at the camera shaking. that's what christina is talking about. hold onto your steering wheel. maintain control because the gusts can whack your car to the side and take you over in your lane. a smooth drive so far. 92, and the golden gate bridge is like the only bridge that does not have a weather advisory but we have sheen on the roadways.

>> thank you. leaders will meet to put the finishing touches on a pension reform measure. how much more should public employees pay? bob joins us live outside of san jose city hall where the question is raised how big this budget gap is. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, laura. that's one reason why they are expecting a full house in chambers when the council meets at 1:30 this afternoon because they are going to be finalizing the language for the pension reform ballot insure. that wording is expected, is due to the rush to voters by friday so it can get on the ballot for june 5. mayor chuck reed has been arcing that the city needs to cut back on what it contributes for employee retirement plans because it cost so much. right now san jose pays almost $250 million a year in pension. so after much back and forth with employees and the union the council is expected to approve language that would give

employees a choice. join a lower cost plan with lesser benefits or stay in the current plan and contribute more. new employees would be forced into a lower cost plan and pay after the cost. it would make it more difficult to collect disability retirement benefits and if they wanted benefit increases that would require voter approval. assuming the city council approves this it doesn't become law until the voters give it a thumbs up on june 5. >> 6:03. construction is set to begin on the new 49ers stadium. santa clara city council is expected to handle a few legalities at its meeting but yesterday a judge ended a last-ditch effort by opponents to stop construction. he ruled that residents cannot vote on the project a second time. construction is set to begin this spring. >> 6:03. jury selection continues for the trial of sheriff ross mirkarimi. though the trial could still be

moved out of the city, christie smith is live with all of the details. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. well, a number of developments in this case. one of them, a boost for the prosecution, a judge ruled that sheriff ross mirkarimi's ex-girlfriend can testify to what she says was abuse that happened during their relationship. now there is a question over where this domestic violence trial will take place because the sheriff's attorney is saying there has been so much pretrial publicity it would be hard to get a fair and impartial jury in the city. the judge hasn't decided whether it will be moved out of san francisco. another possible hitch around video of mirkarimi's wife eliana lopez crying and pointing to a bruise she says happened in an incident with her husband. a neighbor videotaped this but

she said there is no abuse and that this is actually a political persecution of her husband. her attorney, though, is trying to get that video thrown out on appeal which could delay the start of the trial. the girlfriend said mirkarimi grabbed her arm too and they had a rocky relationship, that thir fights were often about underwear left at his house and they thought about lopez he met in south america. jury selection continues. so far 54 potential jurors have been released. they have 130 more to go. everything gets under way at 9:00 this morning. reporting live in san francisco, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> 6:05. a man is dead, two children injured after a shooting on 86th and bancroft avenue last night. police say someone shot the driver of a bentley who then crossed the median and slammed into another car head on. two adults and two children in

students demanding funding for education be restored. >> what would you say to those who say this is not an effective way to accomplish your goals? >> i would like to see what their alternatives are because i think this is pretty effective. >> they are learning how to make politics work. because there are so many people that are not being -- their needs are not met. >> 68 people were removed and cited for trespassing. the governor sent a message that his june initiative raising taxes will address their demands. >> 6:07. a report on the uc davis pepper spray incident is delayed. one of the officers is seeking a court order to bar the release of the report back in november officers sprayed dozens of occupy protesters. the report follows an investigation by a private firm. it was supposed to be released on uc davis today. the investigation into the officers' action is ongoing.
